NEW WORK At NATIONAL
TO DEVELOP BETTER ORE
COMPANY EARNED GOOD PROFIT
DURING THE MONTH
OF MAY.

Much interest has centered in oper-
account of new development work that
has been taken up, which seems GER
tain to make a substantial addition to
the available ore reserves and of a
better grade than that found in the
lower levels. The work referred to is
on the 500 and 600 levels, 200 and 400
feet respectively above the main
working tunnel. 1t will be recalled
that few months ago, and just prior
to the suspension of all development
work in the mine, good and very
promising shoot of ore was encoun-
tered ON the 500 level, but its explor-
alton was stopped under the general
order to discontinue new work. The
policy at that time appeared to be to
which there was estimated to be suf-
ficient to run three or four months,
and then, unless mining conditions
improved, to suspend operations. The
success which has attended the mill
operations during the month of May
| have been so encouraging. however
that the management has evidently
decided to develop new ore on the S0l
and to explore the ground on the 6O(
with strong probability of finding
better ore than any heretofore fount
in the mine. This work was started
a few days ago. The ore shoot on thu
800 is 25 or 80 feet wide. On the 60'
two shifts are working and it is ex
pected that the shoot on this leve
will be Of still better grade. Thes
levels are said to correspond to tn
same elevations in the Snowstorn
where the best ore was found.
May Shipment Record.
The National shipped Is carloads @
concentrates during the month Q
May. These concentrates averag
about Is per cent copper and a
ounces of silver The cars range fror
25 to 40 tons, having a net value G
about $40 per ton. 1t is evident fror
these figures that the National had
very prosperous month, and a con
servative estimate would place tn
net profit at not less than $4,000
With such a showing as this 1t Is nc
surprising that further developmen
has been undertaken in section G
the mine which promises better or
and in the handling Of which the ex
pense of hosting will not enter. Al
, together the outlook for National
decidedly more cheering, a situatio
Z that will be highly gratifying to tn
