IS AWAKENING
FROM A LONG LETHARGY

Shaft, where lies a large acreage which
is virgin ground. Little by little this
Of its territory is being opened
with the result that several lodges
have been encountered, and while they
are small they contain good values and
are producing a fair tonnage of ore.
Work is also being kept up on the s35-
foot level, where they are prospecting 2
body Of quartz over so feet wide and
which carries some values throughout,
with occasional. spots of good ore.
West End
The West End continues to improve
its big showing in Corkhill shaft, and
while the investing public have been
slow to grasp the facts, they are now
backing up what they see and the re-
rent prices show the result. Many ask
why West End made such a sharp adj
vanees This might appear a hard qucs
ton to answer, but it is easy. The
management has pursued a policy of
showing the public what they have and
allowing them to draw their own con-
illusions. No better boosting could
be done; such a showing does its own
work.
MacNamara
Superintendent Chandler reports that
everything in the MacNamara mine is
in a satisfactory condition and work
progressing with most favorable re-
suits. During the past week three cars
of ore, of about 80 tons each, were sent
to the mill. The ore being shipped is
of very good milling grade and nets the
company a snug sum. Work is still
confined to the western portion of the
mine, and considering the small area
being developed the property is making
an excellent showing.
Jim Butler
Development work is being pushed
in the %company's ground through both
the Wandering Boy and Stone Cabin
shafts, the former being used to open
up the acreage in the Fraction No. l
claim, while from the latter that por-
ton of their property lying lmmedi-
ately south of the Tonopah company's
claims is being energetieally prospected.
No ore is being extracted, all work be-
ing confined to the developing and
opening up of the ground. During the
past week a total of 1877 feet of work
was done, which will give an idea of
the way things are being pushed. The
sinking of the Stone Cabin shaft con-
tinues, the bottom being lowered 14h
feet during the walk, and is now down
5S3h feet. This work will be con-
tinued to the 7O0-foot point, where ex-
tensive prospecting will be done at
that depth.
Tonopah Co.
Nothing of a sensational nature has
occurred in the Tonopah Mining com
pany property this week. Work is be-
ing carried along on the plans formu-
lated by Superintendent Blackburn
some time ago, which include extensive
development and prospecting through
out the principal claims of the com
pany In the execution of these plans,
ground is being broken at a lively pace
in the Mizpah and Silver Top claims, a
total of 1421h feet of new work being
recorded for the week in the former,
while 1S41a feet was made in the lat
ter. This work is scattered throughout
the two claims on the various levels,
and does not include any work done in
the slopes. The aim of the manage
ment is to thoroughly open up and de
velop the known ore bodies and do ex-
tensive prospecting for others, there
being plenty of ore blocked out to keep
their lOO-stamp mill running for some
time to come.
Tonopah Elk.
The work of opening up the ore
bodies in the T%onopah Extension Min
ing company's ground is going on with
out a hitch and every day exposes more
ore and proves the mine to be better
than ever. The work done between the
$50 and 600-foot levels has added Won
derfully to the ore reserves of the mine,
and there is now proven up for a dis
of over 200 feet a continuous
body of ore, averaging 4 feet in width,
much of which is high grade, the bal
ance being a good milling product.
Extensive work is being carried on
from several points in the property
and Superintendent Kirchen is more
than pleased with the present showing.
One of Mr.. Krumb's assistants is now
the ground and Mr.. Krumb is ex
pected within the next 10 days. and the
independent examination Of the Tono-
pah Extension mine, ordered al the an
nual meeting of stockholders held las.
MAY, will be made and the report pre-
to that body later.
