Show BELMONT PROVES A LARGER HE Recent Development Brings to Light More Ore. of Higher Grade. High-grade milling filling every face of all workings on ore tells the story of the Belmont mine this week, and the general condition of the property Is better today than at any other tlmo In its history, says the Tonopah Miner. Min-er. This fact is fully borne out by the news from the company's mill at Millers, which gives the information that the average run of ore lor the past week has been of high milling grade, notwithstanding the fact that a carload of higher grade ore is being sent to the smelter daily, and a small amount of exceedingly rich ore is being be-ing sacked and held for separate shipment. ship-ment. In every direction that work Is being be-ing pushed on ore, the ore body maintains main-tains its dimensions and shows a higher high-er general average grade than a week ago. At present all the workings on the 1,000, 1.10S and 1, ICS-foot levels expose strong Imdles of excellent ore, varying In width from 10 to 20 feet, every pound of which is either being Bent to the mill or smelter as fast as it is extracted, and which returns gratifying values. The face of tho east drift on the 1.-1 1.-1 OS foot level is now between 30 and 40 feet east of a point south of the new Belmont shaft, the drift thus far exposing an unbroken body of ore averaging av-eraging 12 feet wide for over 500 feet, and still continuing strong in the face. The workings on this vein above the 1,108-foot level show the ore b.ody to be even stronger and fully maintaining the high milling values. The vein in the east drift on the 1.000-foot level Is 20 feet wide, all carrying car-rying excellent values, with a 5-foot streak on the hanging wall carrying high values. The rich streak has been in evidence for the past two weeks, with the face of the hanging wall portion por-tion of the drift mill full of the same kind of ore. |
