The ore now taken out more than
nays the working expenses of the

nice little surplus to put in the
treasury. During the past week

a ledge of medium grade ore has been
encountered, and in the north, devel-

Montana-Tonopah.
This property has shipped nearly
100 sacks Of high grade ore since
the first OF the month and would have
shipped considerably more had teams
been available. Many more sacks
are being piled up in the ore house,
and before the end OF the month an
other big lot will be dispatched. The
north crosscut from the 625 foot sta
ton is now in 100 feet and has cut
the ledge on which the winze is being
sunk from the 5l2 level, Fifty feet of
Idge matter has been passed through
in this lower level, and between the
walls are several veins of ore running
high in mineral In the west drift OF
the 5l2 crosscut, which is now in fifty
feet, six foot ledge Of solid quartz
is disclosed and the ore from it re-
qures but little sorting, being yearly
all sacked as soon as it reaches the
surface. General Manager Knox,
when in Salt Lake recently, ordered
a new electric drill, generator anc
blower, and these will soon arrive
and be put into service,
Tonopah Extension.
The non-arrival of material has
DELAYED matters somewhat at the
Tonopah Extension company's prop
erty, but it is all on the ground
now and by Tuesday of next week
everything will be in fine shape anc
the work of sinking will be resumed
in the shaft, which is down about 25(
feet Drifts will also be started from
that level on the ore body recently
opened up and its extent demon
strated. AS was stated in the 30
MANIA two weeks since, six feet o
the ledge encountered averaged s23'
to the ton, and II these values con
tinue any distance in the drift one o
the biggest shoots of ore ever dis
covered in the district will be opened
up, The Tonopah Extension has
bright future before it, and the man
agement is to be congratulated.
