MIDWAY.

The closing of the Midway We'd
nesday for the purpose of repairing
the boilers, has somewhat retarded
the work during the week. The reg
ular shipments were kept up until
that date. On the 6O0-foot level the
prospecting work continued with no
change. The small stringers that
have been encountered ever since this
crosscut was sent out, continue to
appear, but. they will not be follow
ed up until some later date. The
main object of sending this work
ahead is to look for large ore body
that is thought to exist in this region.
This work is the object of consider
able interest among the mining men
of this city and its progress is watch
ed attentively.

MCNAMARA.

The double compartment shaft of
the MacNamara company was sent
down twenty-eight feet during the
week, keeping the average of four
feet day that has been made since
the work of sinking commenced. The
shaft is now down 66S feet below the
Surface, or 1853 feet below the 800
foot level, where the work of sink
ing was started. The formation at
the bottom remains the same. The
shipments for the week aggregated
five cars or 275 tons of high grade
that was shipped to the Western Ore
Purchasing company at Millers.
No change is reported on the 200
275 and 300-foot levels where the
shipping ore is extracted. A large
amount of development work or
these levels continues and the ore IL

roNoPAH EXTENSION.

The prospecting and development
work continues in the Extension with
no material change. This line OF
work is still confined to the 400 ane
77O-foot levels. The usual progress
is reported in the raise sent up from
the west drift of the main crosscut ON
the 77O-foot level to connect with the
winze sent down from the 600-foot
level. The principal object in making
this connection is to secure better
ventilation for the lower level. No
change of note is reported on the 400
foot level where development work
| is under way.

During the week the mill crushed
776 tons of Montana ore and 230 tons
of MacNamara ore. This is the last

it shows up much stronger and car /
ries better values at this point. The
connection has been made with the
300-foot level in the raise that was
sent up along the Mizpah fault. This
raise was completed for better venti-
lation of a stope between these two
levels. The drift northwest along the
Mizpah fault ran through the fault
and work is now being done to To-
cate the main ore body. Work has
been resumed in a crosscut north
from the westerly workings to pros
pect the ground to the north of the
Mizpah fault. This will open up the
ground between the Mizpah and Mon
tana shafts which heretofore has not
been explored.

WEST END.

The most important feature of the
weeks happenings of the West End
company is the announcement coming
from the secretary of the company
that a mill will be built either in
connection with the one to be erected
by the Extension or individually.
This statement was made by Dennis
Searles, the secretary, who spent sew
eral days here the past week, during
which time he made thorough in
vestigation of the mine.
He stated that the directors had
decided on the construction of mill
as more economical way of treating
the ores and the huge amount of ore
that has been blocked out and is in
sight justifies this action.
The weeks shipments to.the West.
ern Ore Purchasing company amount.
ed to 100 tons. The condition of the
mine shows no change, and owing t.
the absence of Superintendent FREQ
Corkill, who spent several days IL
San Francisco and only returned yes
terday, the regular weekly report wal
not made up. However, Mr.. Corkil
stated last night that the usua
amount of prospecting and develop
ment work was being continued AM
that the ore bearing lodges wer
maintaining their usual strength.

The pipe line from the Desert

be used to convey compressed air has
been completed and work is now be-
ing done on the foundation for the
hoist. AS soon as this is completed
the hoist which is now on the ground
will be installed The collar of the
shaft is being repaired and at the
earliest possible date the shaft will
be inspected preparatory to the sink

meet with the winze sent down on the
South vein from the 515-foot level,
which is situated about 200 feet west
of the shaft, advanced thirty feet

nection. Chutes will be put in at the
bottom of this raise and drifting will
be commenced at point about fifty
feet above the level. Drifts will be
sent in both east and west. Stopping
on the new vein near the Midway side

ing ore. These streaks are separat-
ed by four feet of waste and are APP
parently nearing each other as the
drift progresses to the east. Stopping
on the Martha vein 200 feet east OF
] the shaft shows no change. The vein
here will average two feet of milling
ore. In the Slopes on the Macdonald
vein below the level and west of the
main crosscut, the vein averages
about four feet of good milling ore
Twelve inches of high grade milling
ore is being worked in the slopes or

ToNoPAH MINING.

The regular quarterly dividend of
rs cents, with an extra dividend of
10 cents, was declared by the direc-
tors of the Tonopah Mining company,
at meeting held Thursday in Phil
adelphia. This will amount to the
snug sum Of $35O,OOO. and was made
payable on April 81. The stock of
the company has been steadily adj
vancing throughout the past few
weeks and yesterday reached $3.50,
the highest point recorded for some
time. The condition of the mine has
never been better and there is prob
ability of the extra dividend becom-
ing a permanent feature.
The increase in the flow of water
in the bottom of the Mizpah shaft
necessitated the installing of Smith
Vail sinking pump of 200 gallon
per minute capacity, to take the place
of the former pump, which only had
a 50-gallon per minute capacity. Our
last Saturdays report gave the flow
of water at fifty gallons per minute
but this week it is estimated that
the flow has increased ten gallons q
minute. The formation in the bot
tom of the shaft remains unchanged
During the week the Mizpah work

vanced ninety-six feet, the Rec

and is now down 513 feet from tn,

Macdonald vein 800 feet west OF the
shaft advanced seven feet during the
week and is now up eighty-six feet.
The vein in the back is too low grade
to mill and averages about three feet
wide. The vein lies fiat at the pres
ent time, but it is expected to i'm
prove when the point is reached when
it starts to straighten up again. The
east drift on the Triangle vein adj
vanced thirty-five feet and is badly
broken up in the face. Immediately
back of the face the cutting out of a
stope has been started, which is be-
ing done in order to test the vein at
this point, where it averages about
three feet of oxidized ore of a good
grade. During the week stopping was
continued on the Triangle vein in the
central and western portions. The
central part of the stope averages
about six feet of ledge matter of
which four feet is of good milling
grade. The west portion will aver
age about three feet of milling ore.
496-foot level-The east drift on
the Martha vein has advanced six
| feet. The vein in the face is low
grade and carries stringers of quartz.
The west drift on the same vein ad-
vanced twelve feet to where the vein
was cut off in the face by fault. Up
to this point it averaged eighteen
inches of good milling ore. The cut
ting out of a stope has been started
!, on the South vein between 800 tc
, 400 feet west of the shaft. The weir
; in the stope so far exposed averages
about two feet of good mill ore.
Stopping continues on the Macdon
