There is nothing out of the ordinary
to report from the Tonopah Mining
company's mine and mill this week, the
developments since our last report hav-
ing failed to produce anything particu-
larry new. For the present the most
of the new work is being confined to
the Mizpah and Red Plume ground, and
this will probably be the program until
the new compressor has been installed.
The foundation for the new piece of
machinery has been finished and is now
ready to receive it. The compressor,
which has a capacity of II drills, is On
the road, and it is thought that it will
arrive about the first of next month,
when it will be put in place imme-
dIately, and should be ready to run
about the middle of July. This com

to the ones now in use, and will enable
the management to again take up lines
of development work which it has been
necessary to suspend of late. For
many weeks the total footage of new
ground broker in prospecting and de-
veloping ranged between 400 and 500
feet weekly, but the steady strain upon
the compressors proved too great, and
in order to continue at that pace an
other compressor was required. Dur
ing the past week "a total of 234 feet
of new ground was broken-164 feet
in the Mizpah workings, % in Silver
Top and Al in Red Plume. The three
compartment Mizpah shaft was lowered
l21n feet and is now down 141a feet,
the bottom being still dacite, the same
which has been in evidence
the past 700 or 500 feet. The flow
of water remains stationary and is
easily handled by the No. Z sinking
pump in the shaft and the big pump
raises most of the water from the
created at the 13SO-foot point.
Outside of one piece of development
the 54O-foot level, operations in this
part of the company workings are
confined to stopping from the 240, $40
and 440-foot levels on the Silver TOP
vein east of the shaft and on the Val
ley View vein west OF the shaft, where
the usual quantity of milling ore is be-
ing extracted and sent to the mill. On
540-foot level the west drift from
the south crosscut from the main west
drift, which has been following about
a foot of milling ore, has been discon-
tinued on account of the vein having
to almost nothing. Work will
be resumed in another west drift from
this crosscut about 80 feet south.

of ore is coming from the Slopes on tn,
different veins on the several levels
and the general condition of the mine
is very favorable. The shipments for
the past week amounted to 100 tons
to the Belmont mill-the regulation
amount. The ore sent out from this
mine averages far above the ordinary
milling grade, the receipts from which
are ample to carry on the extensive
operations and add something to the
treasury every month, which is now in
a very healthy condition.

exposed six feet of excellent milling

place in the values in the upraise from
the south crosscut from the northwest
drift, the top of which exposes 212 feet
OF hne ore. There is no change to re-
port in the various Slopes, which are
being called upon to produce from five
to six carloads of 80 tons each per week

1t may seem rather early to call atten-
tion to the fact that County Teachers
institute will be held in Custer the week
commencing Monday, Juno 81, but we
mention it thus early that our people
may arrange to take care Of and enter
tain the teachers while in our midst.
Our people should give them hearty
welcome, for there is no class Of people
that need encouragement more than the
teachers, in their efforts to educate our
children. Competent instructors will be
present and the school officers as we'll as
teachers and parents, should endeavor
to attend each session of this institute.
1t would also be well for the advanced
scholars of our public schools to attend
this institute.
