depth will also take them through 'ne
body Of quartz encountered by 'he
drill some time ago and which induced
the management to send the smart
down. There is no change to report IN
the workings on the 200, 215 and 800
foot levels. the several faces of ore
showing up about the same as last re-
mort The work now in progress is
constantly adding to the known extent
of the ore bodies and keeping pace with
the extraction, which runs from $50 to
$50 tons a week. During the past week
the shipments amounted to 300 tons,
200 of which were sent to the Western
Ore Purchasing eompany's sampler at
Millers and the balance to the Montana
Tonopah eompany's mill. The last ship
ment to the Montana mill completes the

Tonopah Extension.
No new developments have taken
place in this ~company's property dur
ing the past week, the regular work
having been continued OF the 400 and
77O-foot levels, where all operations at
present are confined. The most of this
work is being done for prospecting
purposes, no attempt being made to
extract ore until certain arrangements
now under discussion have been com
pleted. Contrary to sensational re
ports printed, there have been no new
developments of late in the way of ore
finds, and none are expected for some
time in the workings now beng pushed
ahead. The raise which is Icing sen.
up from the west drift from the main
north crosseut for the purpose of max
ing connection with the Wine from the
600-foot level is making good progress
being now about 20 feet above the level
This raise is being sent through coun
try rock and is not expected to encoun
ter the vein opened up on the 60O-foo1
level and showing in the bottom of 9
shallow Wine for some time. The
main object of this work is to secure
better ventilation throughout the work
ings on the 770-foot level. On the 400
foot level the west drift along the Soutf
vein was advanced IA feet and is out
los feet, the face showing quartz ant
tale mixed, the formation being very
soft. The south crosscut from the
main west drift on the North vein wa:
sent ahead 81 feet to the 46S-foot point
with no change in the formation to re
port, the face exposing small stringer'
carrying very low values.
Stopping on Jim Butler.
Stopping still continues to occupy the
entire time of the force working in the
Stone Cabin claim of the company, nj
new work having yet been taken up
Slopes are being carried along On the
North and South veins east and wes'
of the shaft on the 100 and 200-foot
levels and on the intermediate below
the 200, from which a good grade OF
milling ore is being extracted. The ship
ments for the week consisted of 16(
tons. Repair work is now in progress
in the Wandering Boy shaft, placing
the shaft in condition to resume oper
alton through it, and when completed
the work of opening up and develop
ing the ore bodies previously encoun
tered on the 200, 800 and 400-foot level.
will be pushed ahead.
Tie usual steady progress is reported
from this property this week, where
operations are being pushed at severa
points in order to open up the ground
exposing immense bodies of low-gradt
ore with good sized streaks carrying
shipping grade values. The Slopes OF
the $50 and 400-foot levels continue tt
yield a good tonnage, and the new Por
eupine stope from the 200-foot leve
promises to add greatly to the output
