and put in shape for stopping in the flu
ture. During the past week 227 feet of
new ground was broken, which does not
include the work done in the slopes.
Tonopah Mining Company
The Mizpah shaft is being sent down
as fast as possible, and considering the
size of the shaft, which is three-eom-
partment, good progress is being made,
IA feet having been added to its depth
last week, the bottom now being down
9SS feet. This work will be pushed
along to the 1,300-foot point, where ex-
~tensive prospecting will be done. Ow-
ing to the delay in the arrival of some
of the machinery, the Calyx drill has
not been started in the bottom of the
Red Plume shaft, but as soon as the
necessary parts put in their appear
ance. no time will be lost in sending
the drill down from 1000 to 1900 feet,
and the character of the formation at
depth learned.
From 5000 to $500 tons of ore is be-
ing mined per week, the most of it GO
ing directly to the stamps, while the
balance is put in stock at the mill and
held to draw upon in ease of an emer-
gency, thereby insuring the mill a
steady rum. Down at the mill every
thing is reported as running smoothly,
an average of % out of the 100 stamps
dropping continuously during the past
week, crushing 1925 tons of ore. of an
average value of $23 per ton. The bull
lion shipment consisted of 81 bars, aver
aging az pounds each, and valued at
$3.50 per bar, together with 81 tons of
concentrates valued at $500 per ton,
making a total bullion shipment for
the week of s62, $50. An average *
traction of SO per cent is reported.
MacNamara
Considering the limited block of
ground in which the MacNamara people
are allowed to ship from owing to the
ptTulng llIl2dtlOu Win thC Ntot Lh''
the mine is certainly making a wonder
full showing, and is one of the ebst pro
ducers in the camp. Between 100 and
$50 tons are sent to the mill every week,
the shipments this week consisting OF
three cars of 80 tons each, the ore aver
aging better than $50 a ton. This ore
is all coming from a block of ground
less than 100 feet long, in the extreme
westerly end of the property on the
300-foot level.
West End In High Grade
Everything in and about the mine is
going along highly satisfactorily to the
management, and the big strike of ore
recently made in the new shaft is as
suming larger proportions as the work
goes on. A carload of excellent ore
was shipped last Saturday from this
strike and about ten tons more of this
high grade rock is on hand. All this

MAY GO ANOTHER 1000 FEET

Frank Weaver returned Wednesday
from Greenwater where he located a
qroup of mining claims, says the Bull
frog Miner. Mr.. Weaver says he was
told by Superintendent Gee of the
Greenwater and Death Valley Copper
fiat in case ore is not struck in the
erosscut which has been started from
the 1,O0O-foot level, that the company
will sink another 1000 feet to demon
strate its theory that a body of copper
ore exists in the locality. However, 1t
is believed that the present crosscut
will uncover commercial copper when
it reaches its objective point.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-07-04

ore was taken out during the course of
sinking the shaft, without drifting or
mining an inch on the vein. A station
is now being cut at the bottom of the
shaft, which has reached the 400-foot
point, and it will delay any further ex-
p~loration of the immense ore shoot for
probably n week. After this work is
accomplished, drifting on the vein will
be actively pursued and the ore body
thoroughly opened up, and from present
indications the work should prove this
find to be the greatest discovery in the
Tonopah district.
Ore Shipments
The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldfeld railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted of 100 tons from the Tonopah
Extension.
The Tonopah company sent $500 tons,
the Belmont company 700 tons, the
Montana onopah LOO tons. the North
Star IS tons. the Midway 100 tons, and
the MacNamara $50 tons to the mills.
making the total shipments for the
week $685. m
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was $685. tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued at
500 a ton and the milling ore at $25 a
toni of $150,S75.

ries gold at the rate of $1,000 per ton
and 90 ounces of silver. Segregation of
this ore was found to be impracticable.
and therefore the entire vein is shipped
just as il comes from the drifts, ex.
tended both ways on the vein from the
tunnel. The vein extends the full
length of the claim. There is ore above
and below the present workings, but
how deep it extends is unknown. Chat
fee says he believes he will take out
enough ore in two months to paw for
the property, and is preparing to in
crease the force to as large a number of
men as can possibly be worked with the
limited development.
Huston No. s
The remarkable richness of the ledge
on Huston No. 5 claim of the Dutch
Hill Mining company continues to en-.
Manager c.. NJ. Sumner and
Supt. Frank Grimm in the belief that
they have one of the "big ones" in
TIptop district. Since it was first dis
closed fifteen days since, there have
been secured from this strike FIVE tons
worth 5000 per ton, at less than ten
feet below the surface. Streaks of
quartz running through the vein matter
in all directions carry $1,116 per ton,
and values are strengthening in size as
depth is gained, while the vein is grow
ing more solid.
Excitement High
Sacking of ore continues at FL
Rancho, where the crosscut tunnel for
the ledge is, however, occupying most
attention. The first consignment from
property, scheduled to go out early
in July, will consist of one carload,
valued at 5000 per ton.
The entire camp is in a whirl of ex-
element over the success that is at
taching to the most aggressive develop
ment operations. The population is in
creasing daily also, and representative
men are coming in yet larger
numbers than last week.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-07-04

notwithstanding the pessimistic re-
ports being circulated by a coterie of
brokers, the condition of the Tonopah
Extension mine shows continual i'm
provement as work progresses. The ore
bodies being developed on the $50 and
oOo-foot levels west of the shaft are
large and well defined, and are capable
of yielding an immense tonnage. though
the extraction is limited owing to the
large amount Of development work be-
ing done. On account of an unusual
amount of gas, work in the west drift
on the 600-foot level has been temper
arily suspended. Within a short time
three raises will be sent up from this
level to connect with the 500. This
work will be done both for mining and
ventilation purposes, and will be sent
up on ore, as the vein has been proven
up on the 500, $50 and 600-foot levels.
The vein in the east drift on the 600
foot level shows continual improve
ment, the ledge being stronger and
wider in the face than at any time yet.
Montana Tonopah
The usual energetic work is being
pushed on the different levels in this
mine, and while no particularly new
finds are reported this week the results
achieved are most gratifying. The de-
velopments which are now in progress
are continually adding to the value of
the property and proving up the vast
resources of the mine. During the week
a total of 129 feet of new ground was
broken, in addition to the extraction
of 100 tons of ore, which is the aver
age amount crushed weekly by their
40-stamp mill. The report from the
mill continues to show a high record for
extraction, fully 81 per cen of the
values having been recovered during
the past week.
Prospecting at 1000 Feet
Superintendent Brady of the Tono-
pah Belmont continues to devote con.
siderable time in prospecting the ground
to the porth of the Mizpah fault, and
from present appearances he will be re-
warded by the finding of good ore
bodies in that territory. The main east
crosscut on the 1,000-foot level is being
sent ahead as fast as men and machin-
cry can do the work and it is continu-
ally cutting stringers carrying values.
Throughout the other portion of the
mine extensive prospecting work is be-
ing carried on, especially in the south
ern section, where the ground embraced
within the Occidental claim has made
an exceedingly fine showing. The Bel
mont people are devoting the most of
their time in developing and opening
up the ground and putting the mine in
excellent condition for the future ex-
traction of ore. At different places in
the mine veins are being drifted upon
