(fr0m the Miner.)
The Tonopah company sent 5000
tons, the Belmont company 200 tons,
the Montana-To nopah 500 tons, the
Midway 100 tons, the MacNamara 3I5
tons, West End $50 tons, and Jim
Butler $50 IONS to the mills, making the
total shipments for the week to the
mills 5,26s tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines vas 5,26s tons. of an estimated

Water in Mizpah Shaft
While the water which is coming into
the Mizpah shaft retarded progress
considerably, the work was pushed
ahead as fast as possible, the bottom
being down 1,274 feet, an advance of III
feet for the week, with no change in
formation. The flow of water has now
reached such proportions that Superin-
tendent Blackburn has decided to sus-
pend sinking until arrangements can
be made to handle the water. For the
mast week the water has been raised in
tank ears, but this method has seriously
interfered with the hosting of ore and
waste. and now that the flow has IN
creased no more work will be done in
the bottom of the shaft until the neces-
sary pumps and piping have been IN
stalled, plans for which are now being
worked out. The total development
work for the week foots up to $50 feet,
If which III were done in the Silver
Ton claim and 173 in the Mizpah and
Red Plume. The drill hole which is be-
ing sent down from the 740-foot level
of the Silver Top is down III feet, a
~progress of so feet since last report, the
bottom showing a slight change IN
formation. In the older workings OF
the mine there is nothing of Importance
to note, the several Slopes and drifts
producing the regular tonnage OF ore.
In the newer workings considerable I'M
proyement is noted and some good
bodies of ore are being opened up.
In the westerly end of the Silver Top
workings on the 240-foot level the north
crosseut has apparently cut the con-
~tinuation of the vein on its upward
eourse from the 340-foot level and
shows over 5 feet of good milling ore.
On the 340-foot level the crosscut south
along the Stone Cabin line has inter
sected a small vein which probably
CORRESPONDS with the vertical vein in
the east workings on the 240-foot level.
On the 500-foot level of the Red
Plume the vein encountered last week
obout 700 feet west of the shaft still
shows strong, being fully 4 feet wide
and returning good milling values
throughout.
The report from the mill for the past
week shows that an average OF ~ out
of 100 stamps has been dropping con
t~inuously, crushing 1910 tons of ore,
carving $3.50 to the ton. The bullion
shipmept consisted of ~ bars of bullion,
weighing II pounds each, and valued at
ss15 a bar, together with $4,000 pounds
Of concentrates, worth 81 800, making
a total bullion production for week OF
$7O,1S0. An average extraction OF 81
per cent is recorded.

West End

Steady work marks the operations OF
this company, and the big bodies OF
quartz encountered by the severaI
workings is being opened up in a thor
ough and systematic manner. Exten.
sive development work is being carried
on on the 200 and 400-foot levels, and
the efforts of the management is being
rewarded by the opening up of ore at
several points. While these bodies of
quartz are not all ore, they carry good
sized pay streaks and thousands of tons
of second grade ore, the most of the
latter being left standing for future OK
traction.

The German-American

Arrangements have been made to
commence some new development work
on the property of the German-Ameri-
ear Mining company, located about a
mile northwest of town, a contract hav-
ing been let to sink a shaft on some
groupings which look very promising.
The old shaft is down about $50 feet.
The statement made a few days ago in
n local paper that the buildings were
being removed from the property is a
mistake. as all the buildings ever put
up are still there, in good condition,
and are being looked after by John /,
Thompson, the Waterman. The build
ing which was removed from that see
ton vas OF other ground than that
owned by the German American Min
ing company.

Jim Butler

Regular development and prospecting
work was continued during the week
in this property, most of the new work
being confined to the 600-foot level,
where a erosseut is hting scnt south 20
intcrseet the veins opened up on the
levels above. Stopping continues on the
100, 200 and 800 foot levels and a large
tonnage of good milling ore is being
taken oft. The veins being worked IN
show no particular change from last
week, and are holding out strong.

Seven Troughs, Dee. 15.-At no time
in the entire history of the Seven
Troughs district has a discovery created
as great interest as has the encounter
ing of the famous kindergarten ore
shoot at a depth of three hundred and
twenty feet in the incline shaft of the
lease of the wihuja Gold Mines com
pany on the Therien ground of the
Seven Troughs Coalition Mining com
pany, says the News.
The kindergarten mine, which is also
owned by the Seven Troughs Coalition
Mining company, and the Wihuja lease
adioin, and the discovery of the famous
kindergarten shoot in the shaft of the
lease proves it's continuity a distance of
more than three hundred feet to the
west from the bottom of what is known
as the lower winze of the first named
property. The point of discovery of
the famous shoot in the Wihuja work
ings is about two hundred vertical feet

the vertical depth Of the lower winze
in the kindergarten mine. The dis
covery not only doubles the phcnom-
email possibilities of the Wihuja lease
but demonstrate beyond doubt that
the kindergarten shoot is one of the
longest ore bodies developed in the his
tory of modern mining.
The discovery at this time of the
continuity of the kindergarten shoot
into the territory of the Wihuja lease,
which shoot is entirely separate and
distinct from that which is showing
such phenomenal wealth on the two
hundred and sixty-fve foot level of the
famous leasehold, has come as a result
of the falling of a few inches thickness
of rock from the roof of the incline
shaft of the lease. The shaft, which
has a total depth of three hundred and
scventy-fve feet, was recently drained
of the water that raised almost to the
two hundred and sixty-fve foot ldvel.
Miners engaged in readjustirg timbers,
preparatory to the driving Of a second
drift to the west at the three bfndred
and forty-foot point in tn shaft to
catch the wihuja shoot, ACCIDENTALLY
knocked down "A small amouh of rock
from the roof, which, much their
surprise, revealed quartz, showing free
gold in abundance, that is identid to
the rock from the Kindergarten hoot
at same depth in the Kindergarten
mine.

The Midway

Continuing the line of development
which has been in progress for some
time in it's southern territory, Superin-
tcndent Nelson has devoted consider
able time to pushing work in that see
ton. On both the 200, 800 and 500
foot levels important erosseuts and
drifts are being sent ahead through a
formation which is very promising.
The ledge which was encountered in the
southeast erosseut about 500 feet south
of the shaft looks as though it would
make into Il good body of ore. While
the top seems to he in a fault, there are
good vaiues in the bottom of the drift
and it has been decided TO sink On the
vein in order to prospect it. As the
ledge shows a width of from 6 to 10
feet, showing spots of rich ore through
out, the management has every hope of
the ultimate opening up Of a good ore
body, and it will devote considerable
time in thoroughly prospecting it.
Heretofore the air has been very poor

JAMESTOWN PROVING UP WELL

jamestown ZONES to the front again
with another strike and this one looks
like the genuine article, both for size
and permanency. Furthermore the ore
is extraordinarily rich, judging by the
samples of the quartz that were shown
around town the last few days. The
ore came from the Schultz lease on the
James brothers ground. The find was
made at a depth of $50 feet and four
feet of the ore is said to average $l66
a ton. The quartz runs fifteen per cent
gray copper, with considerable gold and
silver. 1t is pure sulphide and greatly
resembles, in appearance, the sulphidc
ores of the Goldfeld district. The
lease is being worked by F. f. Schultz
and Frank O'Ncil and they are backed
by G. Bcratto. F. Erbin and j. wad.

The Montana

Regular development and prospecting
work is going ahead in this property,
there being a total of 1876 feet of new
ground broken this week, an increase
of so feet over last week. This new
footage is scattered throughout the
mine, there being a number of places in
which new work is in progress. The
number of tons of ore treated in the
mill this week was $40, of which 593
came from their own nrinc, the balance
being MacNamara ore. The tonnage
was a little short this week, caused by
small delays due to mill repairs. An
extraction of about 81 per cent was OBJ
tanned.

The MacNamara

In addition to the usual amount of
ore being extracted, Superintendent
Chandler is doing a large amount OF
development work on the 200 and 300
foot levels. During the past week the
shipments to the Montana mill consisted
of 375 tons of high grade milling ore,
the most of which came from No. 5
stope from the 200-foot level and No 2
stope from the 275-foot level, both of
which expose good bodies of ore, espc-
cially the latter, which is being carried
up over a length of 35 feet, exposing
an average of 6 feet of excellent mill
ing ore it's full length, with the vein
strong in the back and west. The
mine is in excellent shape to continue
it's present shipments for some time, and
as the ore goes considerably better than
the average mill ore in the camp, a
nice sum is being added to the treas
ury every month.

Great Wealth at Depth

Discoveries made during the last few
days on the seven hundred and fifty
foot level in the Seven Troughs mine,
the property of the Seven Troughs Min
ing company near Vernon, have demon
strated beyond question the perma-
neney and wealth of the ore bodies of
this district at great depth. And what
is of equal, or greater, Importance is
the fact that the vein system of the
property shows greater size on the
seven hundred and fifty foot level than
upon any of the other levels nearer
the surface.
Will Erect New Mill
The Seven Troughs Mining company
has announced that they will put up a
mill on the Fairview ground and that
the plant will be completed before the
end of the winter. General Manager
Ellithorpe is authority for the state
mcnt, and for the matter of that, prac-
teal work on the proposition
has been on for some time.
Mr.. E%llithorpe has had analyses
made of the Fairview ore, and has vir-
tually decided upon the best and most
economical method for treating it.
There will be no cyaniding necessary,
and little or no concentration, the plan
being to save the values by pan and
table amalgamation.
Rich Strike On Harris Lease
The Harris Lease of the Seven
Troughs Florence Mining and Leasing
company, on the estate of the Seven
Troughs Mining company, has attracted
considerable attention during the last
week not only in local but outside min
ing circles by reason of the discoveries
of remarkably rich rock in the north
drift on the two hundred foot level. and
other important developments. Mining
men who have inspected the recent finds
predict that the lease will soon give a
good account of itself as a high grade
producer.

The Belmont

There Is but little change to note IN
the underground workings of this mine
since our last report, though consider
able development work has been done,
especially below the 1,oOO-foot level,
where drifts and crosscuts are beng
run from two different WINES which are
down 100 feet below the level. The
general condition is most promising, as
Improvement is noted in several of the
workings. A good body of ore is being
developed in the raise from the west
drift from the bottom of the wlnze,
which was sent down on the big ledge
encountered in the east drift from No.
4 south erosscut on the 1,000-foot level.
The top of this raise exposes fully )
feet of good milling orc, with streaks
and lunches of high grade. This work
will be continued until connection has
been made with the l,000-foot level,
when some attention will be paid to
the opening up of the ore body. At
present, in sending the raise up more
ore is being broken down than can be
hoisted by the station hoist at the top
of the winze, owing to the fact that
considerable waste is being sent up
from the several crossents which are be-
ing run on this level. During the past
week a total of 1913 feet of new ground
was broken, nearly all of which was ON
the 1000 and l,l0o-foot levels, where
the principal efforts of the management
are being concentrated The progress
in the east crosscut, which is being run
TO get put to a point underneath the
old Belmont shaft, was not up to the
usual, owing to the unusual hardness of
the rock, but the week will be pushed as
fast as possible, as they are very desir-
Gus of making this connection in order
to gain a better supply of air in the
lower workings.

'SHOSHONE OUTPUT
100000 A YEAR

During the six months ending De
ecmber LIST, 1908, the output of bullion
and concentrates from the Montgomery
Shoshone mill at Rhyolitc has amounted
to $500, 900, according to an authorized
statement made to the Herald this week
by one of the company officials.
At this rate, the Shoshone is putting
out 5000, 900 a year, of which at least
$25o,000, and perhaps more is clear
profit above all operating expenses. This
means that the mill is earning so cents
a share per year upon the capitalization
of 500, 900 at SIS a share. The stock IS
selling in the neighborhood of 81 a
share on the New York curb, so that the
mill is earning so per cent of the pres
emf market value of the stock every
twelve months, or 100 per cent every
twenty-four months.
All of which makes people forget that
Henry Krumb once visited the camp
and said that the Shoshonc had only
$500. 900 net in sight. -Rhyolite Herald.

ARE STEADY PRODUCERS

in these workings. but since connection
has been made with the raise from the
3OO-foot level an excellent circulation
Of air has been obtained, which will
materially aid in the progress of de-
velopment work. While the usual pro-
gress has been made at other points in
the mine, there have been no important
changes to aote. the various Slopes
yielding the regular output of ore, the
shipments of the past week to the Bel
mont mill amounting to 100 tons, carry
ing values considerably in excess of
the ordinary milling ore.
Tonopah Extension
For the present the development and
prospecting work in this property is
being confined to the 400 and 770-foot
levels. where crosSeuts are being run
to open up the gronad to the south.
The formation now being cut is very
promising. showing stringers of quartz
carrying low values. The work on the
35-foot level, which was done in order
to facilitate the working of the i'm
mense dump of milling ore which has
been accommodating for about three
years, is now nearing completion, the
west drift from the north crosscut be-
ing out about 100 feet, or within 30
feet of the end of the dump. When
this 80 feet has been run, raises will be
sent up and the big pie of ~second-elass
orc tapped, which will be reduced as
soon as the necessary arrangements ara
made. There are in the neighborhood
of $4,000 tons on the dump, and while
the ore is of low grade, it will no doubt
furnish the treasury with a nice sum
of money.
On the 4O0-foot level the south cross
cut is being sent ahead and is ont about
800 feet from the main west drift. The
face is in a very favorable looking
formation. showing stringers of quartz
carrying low values.
The west drift on the 770-foot level
is now out about LIS feet from the main
north crosseut, the face being in earlier
andosite. The drift will be continued
for about 120 feet, when connection will
be made with the 600-foot level. a
north crosscut has just been started
from a point 100 feet west of the main
north crosscut and is being sent out to
pick up the main crosscut. 1t is
thought this will require but a few feet
of work, when a west drift will be sent
along the quartz to prospect it, as it
looks very promising.
