Tonopah Mining Company

Good progress is being made in the
various workings on all levels, and
the numerous pieces of new work re
Gently taken up are being pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible. In several por-
lions of the mine new crosscuts are
being sent out in order to open up
virgin blocks of ground, in which there
is every reason to believe good bodies
of ore exist. While this extensive lat
eral work is in progress on the Levels
above the 700-foot, operations are go
ing forward steadily in the Mizpah
shaft, which is down 1517R feet, at
which point sinking has been suspended
for the present. The present work is
being done at the station points a few
feet above the bottom of the shaft
preparatory to beginning extensive lat
eral work on the 1500-foot level. This
work should be completed some time
next week, after which prosecuting
will be started. The amount of wat
er coming in the shaft is causing no
trouble, the mine being supplied with
pumps which have over five times the
capacity of present demands. During
the past week the total amount of new
ground broken throughout the mine
consisted of 2S7 feet, of which 1221a
were broken in Silver Top territory,
i02 in Mizpah and 62h in Red Plume.
MacNamara Operations.
Nothing but the best of news con
tinues to come from this property, and
as development work progresses the
tonnage of ore constantly increases.
At different points in the mine the
workings are clogged with broken ore
to such an extent as to force a tenn
porary suspension of operations until
at least a portion of it can be cleared
away. The present capacity of the
mine is far in excess of the regular
weekly shipments, and it would not be
surprising to hear that the weekly ship
ments were pegged up another notch.
For some time the ore shipped from
the mine has averaged $25 per ton,
which leaves a snug sum to be added
to the treasury of the company each
month after paying all expenses. With
ore enough actually blocked out TO
guarantee the present rate of ship
ments for months to come, and the re-
serves being constantly added to as a
result of the develor-9ent work which
is being pushed on al levels, the future
of this property is particularly bright,

West End in Mill Deal.
The third annual report of the West
End Consolidated Mining company,
covering the fiscal year ending March
31st, has just been received by the
stockholders and shows the condition
of the property to be in excellent
shape. The report shows that during
the year there were shipped a total OF
4537 tons of first-class ore to the mill
and sampler, in addition to which there
were hoisted and placed on the dumps
1907 tons of second class ore, making
the total production amount to 1905
tons. The total amount of development
work for the past year is as follows:
Drifts 2013 feet, raises 1918 feet, cross
cuts sos feet, wines 1852 feet and
shaft 35 feet-or 1929 feet in all,
which, added to previous work done
makes a total of 1866 feet of work
lone on the property. The financial
r, port shows a balance on hand on
April LIST of $6,312.31, against which
there is a total Indebtedness of $97,-
369.5S, with total available assets of
~$25,553.3S, leaving a deficit at the end
of the fiscal year of $71,S16.20. From
the end of the fiscal year up to July list
the money on hand has been increased
to $53,764.61, and it is fully expected
within the next 80 days to swell this
amount to 500, 900, which fund they
are figuring on using for the building
of a mill or acquiring certain inter
ests in a mill with others. There is
now on the dumps about 5000 tons of
second class ore which an average sam.
pie shows to be worth $14 a ton, which,
together with about 1000 tons stored in
the slopes in the mine, should return
n net profit of $40 a ton if milled by
the company itself.
Leases on Jim Butler
There is great activity on the prop
erty of the Jim Butler Mining company
which has been let out to the leasers
and the workings on the various blocks
are being showed ahead as fast as pos
sible. On any lease where any amount
of work has been done there is a fine
showing and the leasers feel greatly
encouraged. On no less than ten OF
the leaseholds ore is being sacked for
shipment, the average value running
over the $40 mark.

PIOCHE. New, Sept. 22.-Things are
shaping up at the Phoebe King mine
in a way which pleases both officials
and shareholders of that corporation.
The past week has recorded some I'M
portant changes, and while the obJee-
tive point is some distance away yet,
late developments are most interesting.
President John A. Kirby and Vice
President w. H. Weber were on the
ground several days, during which they
gave the property their closest inspec-
ton, and just before leaving for Salt
Lake Thursday morning they expressed
themselves as being well satisfied with
the situation and believed firmly that
the goal will soon have been reached
They declare that the west drift is cut
ting close to the rich assures which
have revealed their sensations IN the
Prince Consolidated; while at Other
points where the drills are plowine
their way through, favorable indica
tions prevail.
While on the ground, Mr.. Kirby
instructed Superintendent Smith t.

GOODSPRINGS, New, Sept. "a
Regarding the mines in this district
will first mention the property owned
by the Yellow Pine Mining company, a
corporation. The property is situat
ed four miles westerly from Good
Springs, at the head of Porphyry gulcn
and is along the contact. Most OF the
work SO far, has been done on the BY
bee claims. Three years ago the com
pany installed a horsepower Far
hanks Morse hoist and started down on
the ore from the hundred foot level
running numerous drifts and crosseuts
e~nroute to its present depth, 200 feet,
ore being encountered i'll almost every
opening. 1t has paid its own expenses
from the start, has been and Is now a
steady producer, with large bodies OF
ore blocked out. just at present ex'
tensixe improvements are being made.
A large hoist, ore bins, ETC., are peihg
put in at the mine and a mill for the
| treatment of a portion OF the mixe'
ore is under consideration. All WORK
is being directed by Mr.. J. r. Kent,
president of the company. The values
are in lead and zine ores.
Monte Cristo Mine.
The Monte Cristo mine, four miles
south of Good Springs, is strictly a
zinc mine and has been worked con
t~inually since its discovery and by
the present owners, since November lst'

AGREE ON SILK.
Senate Has Its Way in Settlement of
the Schedule.

i Washington July 16.-Better pro-
i gress was made by the tariff con-
i ferees during the afternoon session
than in any day since the conference
was begun. The silk schedule IN its
entirety was adopted and the rate On
/ scrap iron, which enters into the
| open hearth process of manufactur-
| ing steel, was fixed by compromising
| on 81 ton As a result, a large
| number of changes in the rate of
! steel products and particularly the
reductions on structural steel were
| adopted The silk schedule is one of
/ the more important revisions of the
| existing law. 1t reduces duties on
the cheaper grades of silk but ma
terially increases the rates on the
/ high grades. which are classed as
| luxur1es. The senate was victorious
in the matter of fixing this schedule.
| The Dingley rates on silk had been
adopted by the house, but the sched-
| ule was wholly redrafted by the SEN
ate. Instead of the ad Yalorem rates
in the Dingley law, the duties were
reduced to specifics. The reduction
on the cheaper grades of silk ana
velvet, spun silk in yarns or piece
goods amounted to something more
than 5 cents a pound. on some of
the extremely high priced chenilles,
chiffons, Velvets and silks advances
in rates are amounting in some cases
to 5 and 10 per cent. The Whole
schedule on the basis of the importa-
tions of 1907. is slightly increased as
most of the lower priced goods are
manufactured in the United States.
AS adopted, the silk schedule vir-
tuaIly has been approved by not only
the manufacturers, but by majority
of the importers
The wooden schedule was taken up
today and after a brief discussion IN
which the house members made
determined effort to have the rate on
wool passed the whole subject was
referred to a SUBCOMMITTEE, the SEN
ate members of this committee are
Messrs. Carter, Warren and Smoot,
who represent wool states, but are
not members of the conference. The
Michigan, and Mccall, Massachusetts
The subcommittee will endeavor to
compromise the wooden schedule so
as to provide for downward revision
so far as this can be done without
injury to the wool industry.
The subcommittee of the tariff
conference expects to reach the new
drawback provision some time today
or tomorrow. The indications are
that the conference will reject the |
senate provision that the drawback |
shall not be allowed on wheat, wheat
flour, flax, barley and their bypro-
duets.
The advocates of this provision. it |
is said, would be willing to have that
feature eliminated If the requirement |
of the present law that the imported |
products shall be identified when Of
fered for export is continued so far as |
it relates to wheat wheat flour and /
the other agricultural products named. /
This would necessitate wheat being |
ground in bond mills in order to get |
the benefit of the drawback provision. |
The contest is an old one between the |
farmer and the miller. When the con-
fefeeS began their session today they /
continued consideration of the agri-
cultural product schedule.
