Midway Development.
Without a hitch the Midway com
pany is pushing the work of open
ing up and prospecting its vast hold
ings in the heart of the mineral bet
of Tonopah. On practically every Level
down to the 635-foot new work is in
progress, the formation being pierced
showing every sign of return reward
for their labor. Numerous stringers,
carrying values, have been encountered
of late in this virgin territory which
give the management every encourage
ment to continue the important work.
Meanwhile operations are going for
ward steadily in the older workings,
which are producing the regular wee.
ly tonnage of 100 tons.
The work of opening up the West
End Consolidated property is going on
steadily, good progress being made in
the various workings ON the 275- and
400-foot levels. While nos Thing out
of the ordinary has taken place during
the past week the mine is looking fine
and steady shipments of ore are be-
ing sent out, the shipments for the past
week amounting to $50 tons, carrying
values considerably in excess of the
ordinary milling grade. During the
week a total of 81 feet of new ground
was broken in the pushing of the vari-
Gus prospecting crosscuts and drifts.
Tonopah Extension.
The site of the new Tonopah Ex-
tension 30-stamp mill is one of the
busiest spots in the camp, a large force
of men being at work on the ground
work and foundations necessary for
various portions Of the machinery. In
a short time the material and machin-
cry will begin arriving, and the pres
ent work is being rushed in order to
be prepared to receive the various
parts as they come. President Max L.
of New York is in Tono-
pah this week inspecting the property.
MacNamara Operations.
A new 5x16 air receiver has just ar
from the coast and is being IN
and is expected to be ready fer
use by tomorrow night. This will pei
Of the resumption of work on the
level in the mine, which is 765
feet deep, the shaft having been sent
down recently from the 500 to the 100
point in order to enable them to
prospect a strong body of quartz
pierced by a diamond drill sent down
time CO.. Work has just been
on this vein from the 765-foot
point in the shaft when the air sup
ply, which was furnished by the Tono-
pan Extension Mining Co, was shut
off, necessitating the installation Of a
powerful compressor OF their own. Ey-
erything is now in excellent shape to
push development work at all points
in the mine, and from now on there
will be increased activity along mat
line. The condition Of the mine son
tinues to look most favorably in the
underground workings, and excelien.
bodies of ore are exposed in different
parts Of the property from the 1oJ.topJ
level up, some Of which are not being
called upon at all to make up TIE
regular shipments, but are being neij
in reserve. The shipments from the
mine to the smelter Are going tnraafH
with great regularity, a carload Of 81
IONS being forwarded every day, max.
ing the week s output amount TO 35t
tons. One pleasing feature Of fscoa,
shipments is the fact that TIE return,
show a steady increase in value, which
is the best proof of the imprc> ericn. II
