WEEKS HAPPENINGS IN TONOpAH r1INES--

resumed on this level during the
week.
400-foot' level-The west lateral
drift from the south crosscut, 120
feet from the shaft advanced fifteen
feet and is now in 156 feet. They
have passed through twenty feet of
decomposed rock with punches of
tale that show high grade stringers
Iof small width The face is in a
hard quartz. The slopes near the
west end of the main drift shows
seams of ore two and one-half feet
wide. The stope at the top of No. 8
upraise, 100 feet west of the shaft
continues to look we'll and produce
a good amount of shipping ore. The
west lateral drift from No. cross
cut $50 feet west. of the shaft was
extended eight feet and is now in
124 feet. The face is all in quartz
a portion of which is pay ore.

TONOPAH BELMONT.

A study production of high grade
ore was continued from the Bel
mont during the week and the
usual amount of shipping rock was
sent to the Mill at Millers. Through
out the mine the work was contin-
ued in the usual places with appar-
emily no change. AS we have stated
in previous issue, the measure
mepts will only be taken twice a
month, the first and fifteenth, con-
sequently we are unable to give the
amount of progress for the last week.
The crosscuts from the 1854 and
1856 wines on the 11O0-foot level
were connected during the week and
the work of following up the rich
stringers encountered in the 1854
crosscut has been started At pres
ent the face is in only about six feet,
but the stringer, which lis about
twelve inches wide, has maintained
its dimensions and shows no change
The cable for the Belmont shaft
hoist arrived during the week and
the work of installing it will be
completed within the next few days
when the retimbering of the shat
will be started. The management is
somewhat anxious to commence the
work of raising from the 1OO0-foo
level to connect with the bottom o
the shaft, and this work has been re
tarded owing to the non-arrival o
the cable which was delayed II
transit. While they have not settle'
definitely on the using of a churl
drill for the purpose of affordin
ventilation in raising to the shaft,
| is thought that one will be used

MONTANA-TONOPAH.

The condition of the Montana is
looking better daily and with the
mill working on a study production
there is no reason why the stock
should not advance double during
the next thirty days. During the
past week the mill treated 951 tons
of ore, obtaining an extraction of So
per cent. In the mine $50 feet of
development work was recorded.
390-foot level-The west drift on
the Triangle vein ad<anced seventeen
feet on milling ore with about two
feet showing in the face. The east
drift along the fault was advanced
eight feet and shows an oxidized
vein matter which contains small
values. In the Triangle stope the
work is confined to the central and
west portions. The central part
shows about six feet of good milling
ore while the west end has about
two and one-half feet of milling
grade ore.
465-foot level-The west drift or
the Triangle vein advanced seventeen
feet and the face exposes two feet Of
milling ore. The cutting out of {
stope that is being extended east O.
the crosscut on the Triangle veil
shows from twelve to eighteen inche!
of high grade milling ore. In the
Macdonald stope 1000 feet west o
the shaft work was confined in tn,
east end where the vein, shows fv'
feet of low grade milling ore.
515-foot level-The east drift OIL
the Martha vein was extended nine
teen feet and has two and one-hal
feet of rich ore in the face. TIL

ed considerably since the drift was
started.
4OO-foot level-The drift north
westerly along the Mizpah fault, is
now working in broken up country
and has failed to encounter any
quartz or vein matter.
5OO-foot level-The crosscut along
the West End property continues to
encounter lode porphyry. They have
made the connection with the No. l
shaft of the West End property, and
now this section of the mine has al
most a perfect ventilation.
600-foot level-After having con-
nected with the Red Plume shaft, a
crosscut was started opposite the
shaft to try out the country in that
district before resuming drifting to
the west. In the Red Plume prop
erty the work in the neighborhood Of
the Extension ground has beer
abandoned and raising was started
on quartz at point 800 feet south
of the Red Plume workings ant
along the contact between the rhyo
lite-dacite and andesite.
For the week ending the twenty
fourth, the mill at Millers treated
SO19 tons of ore that averaged
$21.05 to the ton. The recover,
averaged 80 per cent. A shipment o
44,705 pounds of concentrates wa
sent to the Selby smelters that wa
valued at $11,O3S. Fifty-six bars o
bullion valued at $3.50 bar was ais
shipped.
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1909-05-01

cutting out of stope over the west
drift on the Martha vein shows an
average of two and one-half feet of
milling ore in the back. Work con-
tinues in the central part of the
stope where the vein averages
twenty feet in width, but it is some
what mixed with waste. The winze
on the Martha vein was sunk .thir-
teen feet and the bottom exposes
stringers of high grade ore. Sink
ing has been discontinued for the
present and crosscut west has been
started from the 615-foot level to
make connections. This crosscut
will have to travel a distance of
about 120 feet. The west drift on
the South vein advanced fifteen feet
and the face shows eighteen inches
of good milling ore.
565-foot, intermediate level-The
drift ON the South vein east of the
winze advanced sixteen feet and the
face is in about two and one-hali
feet of good milling ore. The soutr
crosscut from the Martha vein shows
contact the lower side of which
shows an oxidiZed vein. Stopping
continues on the south branch of the
Martha vein, the backs showing
three feet of milling ore.
765-foot level-The main nortl
crosscut advanced sixteen feet dur
ing the week and with the face still
in rhyolite.

MIDWAY.

The Midway made their regular
shipments during the week and
through the mine the various lodges
maintain their healthy appearance.
The prospecting work on the 635-
foot level in the main north crosscut
continues to encounter various string
ers. The face of the crosscut has
reached a point over 500 feet from
the shaft and will be continued for
some further distance.
TONOPAH EXTENSION.
Development work continues on
the 400 and 770-foot levels of the
Extension, with no change of note
recorded. The huge ore bodies are
being blocked out and considerable
prospecting work is under way
Nothing definite as to the erection Of
the mill has been heard at the com
pany's office during the week.

WEST END.

For the week the shipment to the
Western Ore Purchasing company at
Millers aggregated eighty tons. The
total development work in the mine
averaged ninety-eight and one-half
feet. Considerable excitement was
caused several days ago by the re-
port of a rich strike in the workings
of the 400-foot level but investiga-
ton showed the rumor to be based
on the excellent quality of the tale
that has been recently encountered
there. This tale can be found for a
width of twenty feet, but it is mixed
considerably with a red tale that
carries low values and quartz mat
ter that is nearly barren. Picked
samples of the white tale gave re-
turns of $4,000 to the ton.
150-foot level-The slopes near
the north side line continued to
produce their usual amount of ship
ping ore during the week.
200-foot level-The No. 3 winze
has been discontinued until a west
drift from the 275-foot level will
reach it. This Wine is now down
eighty feet. The stope over the
Wine continues to make a fine show.
ing and the ore body has apparently
made no change either to width OF
values. A south crosscut has beer
started at a point thirty feet east Of
the winze which is now in nine feet
in low grade ore.
275-foot level-The west drift

fifty feet during the week and the
face is in broken up quartz will

ToNoPAH MINING.

For the past month the flow of |
water i'll the Mizpah shaft has re-
manned the same, that is about sixty
gallons per minute, and from present
indications there is every reason to
believe that the flow will not in
crease. Superintendent Blackburn
stated yesterday that the huge pump
has worked without hitch since the
day it started, with the exception of
small adjustments to the valves. The
formation at the bottom of the shaft
remains unchanged. The work here
is retarded somewhat by the way the
ground breaks. Huge chunks of
rhyolite-dacite are broke away with
every round of shots, and are in fact
too large to hoist without being re-
duced in size. The shaft has about
$50 feet further to go before sta
ton will be cut and prospecting
started. During the past week it was
lowered twelve feet and is now
down 1852 feet from the surface.
Throughout the Mizpah workings
272 feet of development was record
ed while the Silver Top is credited
with 1851 feet. The workings of
the Red Plume were extended forty
four and one-half feet, making a
total for the three properties of 473
feet. The shaft in the Red Plume
was sunk twenty feet and is now
down 572 feet below the collar.
Very little change is reported in
the workings of any of the properties
and the work is being continued in
the usual places. The 24O and 340-
foot levels of the Silver Top remain
the same with no change of note.
440-foot level-A drift has been
started on this level that will parallel
the west end OF the old workings or
the footwall side. The ledge aver.
ages between three and four feet il
width and is looking better as the
work continues.
540-foot level-The two mai1
crosscuts are progressing favorabl!
and were extended their usual dis
lance during the week.
640-foot level-The main ives
drift is rapidly being pushed ahea'
and is following quartz, but as We
nothing of any value has been en-
countered.
Mizpah, 200 foot level-No chang
is reported in the main crosscut mort
from the westerly workings. TIL
face is in lode porphyry, but up t
d date no quartz has been encountered
- This crosscut is being sent out fo
prospecting purposes. Cutting OF
slopes and several raises has bee
started on different stringers to TT
out the strength of veins previousl
developed in different drifts.
3O0-foot levels South of the cas-
erly workings, the drift on the strea
of ore parallel to the old vein is b.
ing driven ahead and shows abot
eighteen inches of good ore in til
face. This is thought to be a col
tinuation downward of a similar o
currence of ore on the 200-foot leve
that they have been looking for qui
awhile. The ore is looking better ;
the drift progresses and has increa
