OMAHA PROPERTY
DEVELOPING FAST

pah, where j. j. Clark and Ed John
son have developed some fine quartz
claims showing high gold values in
place. Some of the oxidized quartz
shows free gold and heavy values in
silver. The veins lie between quartz
lite and rhyolite. Wingfeld has OPP
toned the property for 100000, pay
ng $4,000 cash to bind the option,
which may be exercised at any time
within six months. He is starting a
crew of miners at work on the prop
erty. No work has been done to more
than fifteen feet depth to date.
For the week ending October 8 the
mines of the Tonopah district mined
and sent to the mills 8016 toms of ore,
valued at 100000. This was exclu-
sive of the output Of the MacNamara,
which did not report. The output wal
divided among the companies as fol-
lows: Tonopah Mining company,
1850 tons; Belmont, 1850 tons; Mon
tana of Tonopah, 1896 tons; West
End, 40 tons; Tonopah Extension,
$50 tons, and the Midway, 100 tons.
The 30-stamp mill of the Tonopah
Extension company has made a great
record during the last thirty days, the
daily tonnage having gradually in
creased until an average of 140 tons
per day is being put through, and with
a saving of SO per cent. A shipment
of bullion went out Friday represent
ing the cleanup of p~recipitates for the
last half Of September, consisting of
1920 pounds of a value of $21, 900.
This briught the total bullion ship
ments for September to 5000 pounds,
valued at $4,000. During September
eighteen tons of sand concentrates,
worth $500 per ton, and twenty-five
tons of slime concentrates worth $500
per ton were shipped. The estimated
value Of the ore handled during Sep
from the mine is being mixed with
dump ore and thus a very evenly grad
ed product is being sent through the
mill.
The report from the mill Of the
Tonopah Mining company for the last
week of September shows that an
average of 80 of the 100 stamps were
dropping continuously, handing 1850
tons of ore of an average value of
$40 per ton. Bullion shipments con-
sisted of SO bars valued at $50, 900, and
the average extraction was SO per
cent.
The mill of the Montana and Tono-
pah Mining company during Septem-
Der treated something over 1000 tons
of ore, shipping during the month
Pill pounds of bullion and 121 tons of
concentrates. During the week ending
October s the mill handled 1886 tons
of ore, recording an average extraction
of 91.2 per cent. Ore handled during
September averaged in value about
$13 per ton. The new ore body opened
some weeks ago at 615 feet depth is
being extensively explored and the
laterals are showing several fine faces
of high-grade milling ore.
The motor for the compressor and
the transformers for the new plant at
the Belmont have arrived ana are be-
ing installed, but the hoist and hosting
motor have not arrived yet. The new
steel buildings have been practically
completed and by the time the new
hoist has arrived and been installed
the new plant will be ready for op
GRAFTON. In tthhe extreme e~asterly
workings of the Belmont at HOO feet
depth, whehre the famous Belmont
vein faulted, stringers of quartz are
being found in the earlier andesite
and it is believed that the vein wi.
soou be found again. From the 1166
foot level, to the east of the shaft
a Wine has been put down ON the veI
for fifty feet and every foot is in tn:
ore.
The MacNamara mine, in north ant
south drifts Nos. 4 and 43, above thu
300-foot level, s showing one Of th'
finest ore bodies aver opened in tha'
property as a result of recent prospect
ing work. Both faces show five fec
of shipping ore and the vein has beer
exposed for forty feet along its strike
The ore body consists of a foot of tai
cose matter averaging $50 per ton
The rest of the ore shoot, averagin;
80 to 35 inches in width, is of higl
grade milling value. AS there ar,
more than 100 feet of backs between
these exposures and where the veii
has pust been entered on the 100000
lvvel, it is probable that another DO
nanza ore body has been opened in tn,
MacNamara.
