TONOPAH MINES PUSHING FORWARD

a point directly underneath the Belmont
shaft, which is down over 500 feet.
While nothing particularly exciting
has occurred within the past week.
there is a noticeable improvement in
some of the faces and the mine in gen

most important news from the mine this
week is found in the that

cred in the east drift from the bottom
of the 1856 Wine, which corresponds
with the 1100-f foot level. The drift is

is also exposed in the bottom of the
drift, proving that it continues On
down. The east and west drifts on the
new find in the north crosscut from tine
1854 winze on the 1l00-foot level show
the stringer to be continuing, both
faces exposing about a foot of rich ore.
Tonopah Extension.
While some development work has
been in progress at all times, the bulk
of operations have been confined TO
making necessary connections for the
purpose of better ventilation and plac-
ing the mine in thorough condition for
the extraction of the vast bodies of
milling ore which have been exposed
on the various levels. This work has
so far progressed that by the time the
mill has been completed n the
stamps ready to drop on ore every
thing will be in shape for the most
economical mining. The South ledge,
which lies close to the MaeNamara
property line, is also being developed.
and will no doubt furnish a good ton
mage of ore, as the vein is a strong one.
Important work is being done between
the 600 and 700-foot levels, which at
present gives every indication of prov
ing up the ore body exposed by the
workings on the 600-foot level, as well
as furnishing a good current of air
throughout the lower workings. The
work on the level 80 feet below the
surface was completed some time ago,
SO that the big dump of milling ore
can be tapped in various places at any
time and sent to the mill direct from
the shaft, thereby enabling the man
agement to handle the ore at a very
low cost. In fact everything possible
has been done with a view to prepar-
ing for the mill, which was settled
upon some time ago, though thare
have been some unavoidable delays IN
the beginning of operations on the
plant. Everything has now been set
tied, and as stated elsewhere on this
page stamps will be dropping by the
first of the coming year. The work
during the past week shows but little
change over former reports, though IN

Belmont Operations.

Everything is progressing very salts
factorily in the Belmont company ;
workings and a great deal of prospect
ing and developing is being done on and
below the 1O00-foot level, where recent
operations have exposed the main ore
bodies of the mine. Some stopping Is III
progress on the 900-foot level, where
about three feet of ore are being ex-
tracted from the South vein, but asi,ie
from this nothing is being done at pres,
ent, all efforts being directed to the
important work now going on at greater
depth. While no attempt is being made
to sink below the 1100-foot level al
present, there is little doubt but that
operations will begin soon in that diree-
ton. as the ore bodies encountered on
that level show up strongly in the bot
tom of the workings, thus proving that
they continue to greater depth.
The cable for use in the Belmont
shaft which arrived last week has been
placed in position and work is now &c

inspection of the shaft being made, 1T
was learned that some of the tagging

Checks for the third monthly div.
dend of one cent a share were received
bv the stockholders of the MacNamara

ment of $4,000 since the payment OF
dividends were started three months
ago. At a meeting of the directors,
held in San Francisco on the first day
of this month, it was resolved to pass
the dividend for this month, owing to
the large amount of development work
planned and the increased expenses
caused by sinking. superintendent
Chandler has Just closed a contract
with the Balakala Copper company of
Shasta, Cal, for the handling of the
entire output from the MacNamara
mine, a most satisfactory rate having
Leen secured, and the first shipments
went forward this week, consisting Of
six carloads of ore averaging 80 tons
to the car.
A great deal of important develop
ment work has been mapped, which con
sists mainly in prospecting the ground
at a considerable greater depth than
heretofore. At present, with the ex-
ception of sinking the shaft, all work
has been confined to the 300-foot level
and above, which has resulted in UNI
covering some excellent bodies of ore,
but from now on the greater portion
of new work will be carried on nearly
500 feet below the old workings. For
nearly three months the shaft has been
sent steadily down from the old 900
foot point, and has now reached a depth
of 500 feet. During the past week a
station has been cut at the Uo-foot
point, from which extensive prospecting
work will be lone on the body of quartz
encountered at that point in the shaft.
Meanwhile the shaft will be continued,
with a view to carrying on extensive
prosecuting and prospecting at a still
greater depth the formation under

tact being porphyry, the main mineral
tearing formation of the camp. The
workings on the upper levels, which

slopes and drifts maintaining thar
strength and richness.
Tonopah Company.
The new work which is being ear
ried on from the different levels of this
company's property was continued
during the week, with no particular
change to note. This work is being
done in several directions in order to
open up blocks of new ground. The
older workings continue to produce the
regular amount of ore, the various
slopes being carried forward on excel
lent ore bodies. The main three COM
partment Mizpah shaft was lowered y

the 1371-foot point, the bottom still

the 600-foot level. The shaft will be
continued for several feet below the
600-foot point in order to cut out a
sump. The bottom of the shaft is still
in a broken formation, mixed with
quartz carrying no values. During
the week a total of 4201a feet of new
ground was broken, ll7h in Silver
Top ground, 571a in Red Plume and
245la in Mizpah. The most of this
work is being done in crosscuts ana
drifts for prospecting purposes, and Il
great deal of new territory IS being
opened up, as well as prospecting sew
eral new veins which have been en-.
connterod recently, and which give
every promise of making into good ore
producers.
The result of the April run of the
company's 100-stamp mill was most sat
isfactory, the total tonnage treated
amounting to $4,000 tons, with the bu!-
lion and concentrates shipments total
ing $4,000. The recent strengthening
of the price of silver has added percepti-
bly, to the profits of the company, as
every cent per ounce advance means a
little sum, owing to the enormous
production of the white metal. When
this company ear make the showing IT
did on 50-cent silver, it takes but little
figuring to show the immense profits

silver touch the 60 cent mark, which IS
not improbable before the present year
is past.
