WEEKS DoINGs IN THE MINES.


grade ore has been opened up and
drifts will soon be run on this. In the
shaft, at depth of 4S5 feet, six
foot ledge running northwest and
southeast and dipping to the north
was cut and it is supposed to be the
same ledge which has since been en-
countered in the north crosscut at
1870 feet from the shaft. 1t is also
presumed that the lodges cut in the
Midway are the same as those dis
closed ia the Montana Tonopah. The
Midwoy is now past the experiment
tai stage and is opening up into a
splendid property. Ross Condor is
performing the duties Of superin-
tendent in an able manner. There is
one thing certain the Midway win
make dividend payer at no distant
day.
Tonopah Extension Company.
On the Tonopah Extension, during
the last ten days, the company has
been installing q fifty horse power
hosting plant, which it hopes to have
T in operation in the course of another
week. Work on the shaft in the
meantime was discontinued. Before
discontinping work the shaft had
reached depth of 250 feet. In the
last few feet some quartz stringers
were encountered which gave fair
values. The owners seem to be well
pleased with the outlook, and hope,
after the hosting plant is in opera
ton, to make rapid progress in sink
ing.
The Hannapah.
Frank Work, manager of the New
house property at Hannapah, was in
Tonopah yesterday, and stated that
during the month of August l43 feet of
work was done on thecompany scaim.
The drift from the south crosscut at
the $50 foot level is in 100 feet aud
shows up good body of ore. In the
north crosscut some stringers and
punches of quartz are being cut that
contain high silver values. In all
about 1000 feet Of work has been
done on the property The water
has now subsidized to about 30, 600
gallons per day, but with the pumps
in use, it is easily handled.
TOnOpah-GOlden Gate.
The main shaft of this property is
passing through a mineralized por-
phyritic quartz at depth of 1850
feet and the management feels highly
encouraged with the indications in
view. Another source of encourage
ment lies in the fact that the property
is in line with the Grand Trunk and
Mizpah, in the former of which ore
was struck a few days ago. The
company is figuring on putting in
hoisting machinery in a short time,
and hopes before the end Of the year
to have a first class plant in operation.
The Mizpah.
The west drift on the 500 foot level
of the Mizpah is nearing the east end
line of the Blackboard and shows an
immense body of extremely high grade
ore. Machine drills are being EN-
pioyed in both west and east drifts OF
this level, and the latter is being run
to connect with the Belmont at the
6l4-foot station, A machine is also
at work ia the 700.foot crosscut OF
the Mizpah, which is intended to con
meet with the ia level Of the Valley
View.
Acknowledgment.
This company recently began OPP
eratlons on a group Of claims owned
by them little east of the United
Tonopab companys ground, and about
four miles south of town. A double
compartment shaft has already been
sunk to a depth Of twenty feet and
has cut two stringers running east
and west that carry good values.
The company has promising prop
erty and proposes doing some exten
