WILL BREAK THE RECORD.
October Shipments to smelter Will
Exceed 900 Tons Of ore.


The Montana Tonopah company is
employing almost every team that
can be obtained in the transportation
Of ore from the mine to the railroad
at Sodavflle. Up to date and since
the arst Of the month, the company
has shipped 1000 sacks of ore, and be.
fore the end Of the month . total u
nearly s000 sacks. approximating 800
tons, will BE- shipped. AZ none Of the
ore forwarded goes below the 500
mark in value, and much Of It goes Tar
beyond, It can be readily seen that
the receipts from the months ship
mAnt win place . handsome sum of
money in the reserve fund. and II re-
ports be true the time 10 not far dis
tAnt when some Of this surplus will be
divided among the holders Of tha
stock.
The mine was never in better shape
than 1t present; the lodges, as devel-
opment has progressed, have grown
larger and IN most instances richer,
and from the ground now opened up,
it would be an easy matter to increase
the monthly shipments Of ore tenfold
if the facilities for hoisting we're pro-
portionate.
The north cross-cut on the 512 level
is now in 40 feet and is making ct
the rate of four or five feet per day.
The 1876 drift from this level is in
eighty feet and the face shows seven
feet Of shipping ore with only one Will
in sight. A winze has been started
from this drift and is now down eigh-
teen feet, showing as good ore as
any found in the mine. The drift run
ming to the North Star from the shaft
is in 40 feet, and the ledge recently
opened up by the north cross-cut from
this opening, 100 feet from the shalt,
is showing up a splendid boz
grade ore, much of it carrying free
gold visible to the eye. The west 5t2

and is passing through strong, heavi-

the nearness of another ledge. AS was
stated in the Bonanza several weeks
ago, the cross.cut has already passed
through several veins of good ore, anil
it will only have to run 100 feet more
to tap the big ledge cut at 1876 feet
