Messrs. Langley and e. H. Neal

100000 in working the leGges to an
average depth Of less than $50 feet,
it is next to impossible to compute
he value Of the ore in sight in the
Tonopah companys mines. About
250 men are now employed and. while
production is being curtailed to per-
NIT development work to go on I'M

per month is being marketed
, The Montana-Tonopah company has
cut three veins in sinking its shaft
, below the 40O-foot level during the
past thirty days. The first two carry

the camp yesterday says that the
third vein, tapped a few days ago.
, now shows eighteen inches Of ore

This mine. Mr.. Langley says, is des
