controlled by this company cannot
be derived from any newspaper de-

for itself. Recent development on
the westerly area of the property has
brought to light two enormous lodges

of the West End company into the
dividend class, and the announcement
that it is hoped to maintain this
standing for some time to come The
earnings of the company are at the
rate of $15O.OOO quarter, which

including an addition to the mill,
machine shop, power house and the
installation Of new hosting plant,

Montana is one of the oldest mines
in Tonopah and one that has done its
share in building up the community,
and today it is as promising as at

A. 2. X vein, on both the sos and
615-foot lewis, large tonnage of

the A. B. K vein and the footwall
branch win be opened on both the
Sos and 765-foot levels, but the work
