West End
Work continues in the drifts from
the bottom of the new shaft, the faces
showing about the same as last week.
The, raise. from the west drift is. up
about 20 feet, and broke into the ore
shoot yesterday. Stopping will be ear
ried on from this raise, also from the
shaft raise. On the 150-foot interme-
date a fine grade of ore rs being ex-
tracted from the stope on the vein near
a. NG.-N..c.~. l,ra fha lnIna shnxyTnU
from 6 to,S feet of solid ore.
Midway
Prospecting and development work
continue throughout the Midway
mine, the result of the past week show
ing but little change in the main work
ings. The bulk of the new work is con
fined to the southern portion of their
territory, where they have been re-
warded in the past by ~eneeuntering sew
eral bodies of good ore. During the
week the regular ore shipments, con
sisting of 100 tons, were sent to the
mill.
On the 300-foot level a new stope has
been started GU No. 9 vein, about 400
feet southeast of the shaIt, the ledge
showing a foot of good ore, together
with some Tow grade
Belmont
During the past week 200 feet of new
ground was broken and a total of 235
tons of ore was extracted from the de
velopment workings alone.
Beyond the extraction of a little ore
no work has been done on the 700-foot
level this week, the machines having
been transferred to the 1,000-foot level,
where. important developments are be-
ing pushed.
On the S00-foot level the east drift
on the Occidental vein was advanced 10
feet since last report and is out 440
feet. The face shows good sized string
ers and punches of ore, which is quite
an Improvement over last week, as at
that time no values were in sight. This
drift is cutting through a fault. The
west drift on the Nevada vein is out %
feet, 61a of which were made this week,
the face exposing 6 to 8 inches of high
grade ore. The stope over the drift
shows no particular change from last
report, there being about s inches of
fine ore in the back. This stope is now
up about 40 feet and is being carried
westward.
Tonopah Extension
All rumors regarding the contents of
the forthcoming report of Henry
Tonopah Extension for the benefit of
the stockholders, are absolutely with
out foundation. Mr.. Krumb is not at
work on his report in Salt Lake, having
completed his examination of the prop
erty, and no one will know anything
about it's contents until it is presented
to the stockholders at the postponed
meeting to be held in New York about
the middle of next month. His report
is anxiously awaited by every one who
has any interest in the mines of Tono-
pah. Work throughout the mine con
tinues and the different ore bodies are
looking excellent, an average of 10 car
loads of ore a month being sent to the
smelter.
Crosscutting continues north and
south from the west drift on the 400
foot level, about 1000 feet west of the
shaft. Both these c%rosscuts are going
through new ground and are being run
for the purpose of prospecting that
portion of their acreage, the faces show
ing a fine lode porphyry, carrying
stringers of quartz.
The usual amount of ore is being ex-
tracted from the raises on the vein
from the 60O-foot level.
Tonopah Company
Good progress was made this week
in the sinking of the Mizpah shaft, the
bottom now being down 1917 feet. 20
feet lower than last report, and show.
ing no change in formation. In fact no
change is expected for some time, as
a drill hole sent down some time ago
exposed the character of the formation
for some distance lower than they are
at present. Right here we desire to
state that there is absolutely no truth
