Nothing could be progressing IN a
more satisfactory manner b a AFFAIRS
at the Tonopah Extension plant, says
the Tonopah Miner. Everything IN
the mine and mill is going ahead In
the best possible manner and we pre-
diet a most prosperous year for oofh
departments. All the little defects
usually encountered upon the starting
up of a new mill have been overcome
and all 80 stamps are now dropping
continuously on ore, the plant being
run to its full capacity. Thus far con-
the preliminary runs of the different
sets of stamps, but no record has been
kept of the total tonnage, the main
object being to put everything in per-
feet condition for steady work. This
has been accomplished and from now
on the Tonopah Extension mine AM
mill will cut quite a figure in the
monthly production of the Tonopah
district. The first shipment of a car
load of concentrates will be sent to
SeIby's for refining early next week,
and this will be followed by the first
cleanup and melt of the cyanide
precipitates, which will take place
about the Goth of this month. While
as yet it is impossible to tell the ex-
act percentage of extraction obtained,
enough is known that of the ore thus
far treated we 90 per cent OF the

SEARCHLIGHT M. & M. co.
HAS RESUMED OPERATIONS

SEARCHLIGHT, Feb. 14.-After a
period of ~idleness, extending over the
greater part of a year, work has been
resumed by the S~earchlight Mining &
Milling company. Manager Henry E.
Carter arrived on Tuesday from Los
Angeles and gave out the welcome
news that the mine was again to TEEN
with activity.
The scope of operations can best be
judged from the fact that the first
work to be undertaken will be the
Strengthening, charging and retimber-
ing of the main shaft.
The Searchlight has one of the finest
and most complete surface equipments
IN the district. The property is locat-
ed in the northern part of the district
and has already produced handsomely.
The S~earchlight is equipped with a
modern l0-stamp mill and a 100-ton
cyanide plant. The hoist and COM

that a better showing will be made
when everything gets down to its
bearings. Every part of the new
plant is running admirably and the
Tonopah Extension is now the owner
of a firsttclass, up-to-date reduction
works. In the mine development and
prospecting work is being pushed with
a full force, and an excellent show
ing is being made at various points,
especially east of the shaft, where
some strong bodies of ore are being
placed in shape for stopping operations,
There is no possible chance for a
dearth of ore for a long time to come,
for with the present showing in the
mine, together with the large mill
dump, which is furnishing a portion Of
the ore being milled at present, the
operating of the plant to its full
capacity is assured for years.

So far explorations have been confined

the shoot has increased in size and
there has been an improvement in the
values, so it is practically certain that
this block of virgin ground will yield
considerably more than the stopc

total of $4,000.
Just as soon as the work on the third

heated. This means the sinking of an
exploration winze, followed by the
dropping of the main shaft and the
running of a connecting level.
President Crittenden states that Of

this preparatory work was in progress,

average gold values at $40, while in
addition the ore carries values in sill.
