Tonopah's Output Increases

The production of the Tonopah mines
last week amounted to 12,515 tons OF
the gross milling value of $2S9,S20. ex-
ceeding the previous greatest weekly
output by 25S tons.
The increase is almost entirely due to
new properties having reached the pro-
ducing stage, and as further proof of
this the old Belmont mill at Millers
which is operated as a custom mill. IS
now running at its full capacity of $50
tons a day on ore from Tonopah mines
which have not yet erected milling
plants.
In the meantime the seven mills of
the camp with a total of 800 stamps
and a capacity of / $50 tons daily. are
in continuous operation, and the capa-
city of two of these, the Tonopah Ex-
tension and West End Consolidated. is
to be increased
No precious metal camp is making
the magnificent progress of Tonopah.
It stands alone In the whole world as
the one great precious metal camp in
which production is steadily increasing
new mines are being developed and its
mineral producing area extending on
all sides of the producing mines.
In the last II months four new pro-
ducing mines have been developed,
namely. the Tonopah Merger, Jim But
Ter, North Star and Halifax. a record
unequaled by any other camp in his
tory.
In II years of its existence Tonopah
has been developed from a camp of one
not one property that has produced ore
has been exhausted--Tonopah Miner.
Big Deal Reported
Information made public In Eureka
recently leaves little room for doubt
that the mining deal for the trans
fer under option of some Al mining
claims on Prospect mountain to Samuel
Newhouse of Salt Lake City Utah, will
soon be completed. According to re-
liable information everything Is now
settled but the completion of an alb
stract of title of the Pioneer group Of
mines, including the old Dunderburg
properties, worked in the early days Of
the camp by an English company.
Matters have progressed so far that
Mr.. Newhouse's agent in Eureka has
been authorized to arrange for the re-
timbering and putting into working
order the shaft on the Atlas mine, one
of the Dunderberg group.
It is understood that the options pre-
scribe that a stated amount of develop
ment work must be carried on continu-
ously during the two years period the
options run, and this work must be
commenced mmediately.-Eureka Sen

Strike at Douglass
Quite mining sensation was cre-
ated at the old camp of Douglass I'm
the Gold Range district, seven miles
west of Nina. when Herbert Towers
and associates uncovered a IA foot
ledge that pans well clear across its
entire width. The strike was made in
driving a crosscut at the bottom of a
so foot shaft on the Tennessee. The
ore is gold and free milling, showing
values from $40 to 800 per ton The
ledge is strong, well defined and has
every indication of permanency Only
meager particulars OF the find have
been received, but 1T is said to be one
of the biggest discoveries made in the
old camp in many day. 1t is re-
ported that parties are negotiating for
a bond on the property. Considera BILE
work has been done during the last few
months.-W estern Nevada Miner.
Rochester Yields 100000
Since its discovery less than six
months ago. Rochester has produced
and shipped out 125 carloads of ore.
These cars averaged So to 40 tons each,
averaging about $40 a ton net with
transportation and smelter charges de-
Quoted This gives an approximate ag-
gregate for the camp of 5000 tons with
a gross valuation af 4onA 0OO The
