weeks reports of the Tonopah mines
as given out by the officials of the
various companies:
TOnopah Mining
From the standpoint of tonnage
the Tonopah Mining company last
week fell behind the production of
the week previous, but what 1t
lacked in quantity it more than
made up in quality, as will be noted
further along in the report from
the mill of tonnage and values. In
all 1852 tons of ore were shipped,
OF an average value of $24.31 per
ton, nearly 20 per cent more than
the average of the week before, and
from the reports that are coming
from the mine this weeks output
will come up to or outclass that of
last. Physically. the company's
properties were never in better
shape than at present, and there is
every indication that from now on
higher standard of ore values will
be maintained.
The company's report this week
shows that during the previous
seven days 534 feet of new terri
tory had been opened up. This,
however, does not include slopes
and other reserves from which ore
is being extracted, but it does show,
and most emphatically, that the
limits of the ore zones have not
been reached. In fact, as virgin
ground is penetrated, it becomes
more and more apparent that the
mines of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany are yet in their infancy. and
that for many, many years to come
they will be adding their quota to
the mineral output of the world.
Belmont
November was another banner
month for the Belmont, as will he
observed by reference to the table
which heads this article. And for
the purpose of comparison, some of
the figures showing the production
OF the Belmont for the month of
October are herewith reproduced.
The tonnage for October was
1851, against 1915 for November.
yet the gross valuation for Novem-
Der was $241,1SS.04, against s215.-
O56.69 for October, a difference of
over $4,000 in favor of last month.
Inc net profits for October were
SlO2,469.35; those of November
Siz6o32.S9, another difference of
$4,000 in favor of the latter
month. Another striking fact which
comparison develops is that the ore
product for October was Go tons in
excess OF that of November. Thus
IL VIII be seen that the Belmont is
not only increasing its monetary
output from month to month but
the tables show that its ore is of a
higher grade.
Montana-Tonopah
For the week ending December
-, the -Tonopah forwarded
9Sl tons OF ore to the mill, from
whlch an extraction of 9O.1 per
cent was secured. From these shin
ments IS bars of bullion. weighing
1908 pounds, were obtained.
