Tonopah Extension
Steady progress is being made
throughout the workings of this prop.
erty. For some time considerable at.
t%ention has been paid to the prospect
ing end of the work and considerable
new ground is being penetrated, the
principal work of that character being
carried OF on the 400 and 77O-foot
levels, where long crosscuts are being
run to find new ore bodies. While as
yet no ore has been found, the cross
cuts are in an excellent looking lode
p%orphyry, and give every promise Of
rewarding the management. The post.
poned annual meeting of the stock
holders will be held in New York on
Friday, September 18th, when the long
looked for report of the mining expert
appointed last May will be presented.
MacNamara
The MacNamara continues to furnish
sensations in the way of rich ore, the
latest being the opening up of picture
rock in the No. 3 stope from the 275-
foot level this week. This stope has
always been in good ore, the vein aver.
aging about 3 feet, but the last rounl
of shots put in last Thursday revealed
a regular jewelry store. The vein in
the back of the stope is now fully 5
feet wide, 3 of which, lying against the
footwall, are extremely rich ore, show
ing chunks of ruby and brittle silver
as large as your hand, and furnishing
some of the finest cabinet specimens
ever produced from a silver mine.
Throughout the workings of the mine
the showing is phenomenal and easily
stamps the MacNamara the richest
mine in the district, acreage considered.
At present Superintendent Chandler is
working all the men he can with the
limited power at his command. The
day shift is working one machine and
three men single handed on ore and
two machines on development work.
There is now blocked out enough ore
to keep up the regular shipments for
some time, and as most of the develop
ment work consists of either drifting
on ore bodies or sending crosscuts to
tap the veins at different points, the
value of the property cannot easily be
estimated. AS a further proof of the
immense amount of ore in sight in the
mine, arrangements have just been com
pleted with the Montana onopah Min
ing company to use 10 stamps in their
mill on MacNamara ore, and shipments
amounting to from 40 to so tons per
day will begin on the 18th OF this
month. The shipments for the past
week consisted of four carloads to the
SmelIcT OIL ~ tO1o tdCh ohN ohS
to the Belmont mill. This ore is nearly
all coming from No. 2 and No. 3 slopes
from the 275-foot level. In several
other places in the mine excellent
bodies of good milling and high grade
ore have been opened up, but until
more air is secured to operate addi-
tional drills, the work or ore must be
confined to two or three places.
Midway
Following along the line of general
development and prospecting work.
this company is now paying some at
t~ention to the first, or 200-foot level.
A station has been completed at this
noint in the shaft and all necessary
switches and chairs placed IN position
with the intention of doing consider
