The Belmont company is now
about to install a new and powerful
pumping plant on the 18th level,
where "A considerable flow of water
has been encountered. For this pur-
pose a pump stump is being cut be-
low the level of the station, and the
water from the shaft stump will be
transferred into this by a small cleo.

surface, a height of 1910 feet, by a
new powerful electric pump, which
will be installed as soon as possible,
and the old pump on the 18th level
will only be retained for emergency
a capacity of fully 100000 gallons a
day, which is largely in excess of the
present flow of water in the mine,
but the greater capacity is being pro-
vided as it is probable hat an in

TOnOpah Mining Co.
An immense body of quartz is now
being developed on the 10OO-foot
level of the Tonopah Mining compa-
ny's Sand Grass claim. the north
west crosscut at this depth having
now penetrated it for over 100 feet,
although on account of the direction
of the crosscut the actual width will
prove to be considerably less.
For about so feet of prosecuting,
the vein showed no commercial val
ues, but for the last 20 feet it car
ried fairly good milling values with
some streaks of very good ore and
it is believed that when the hanging
wall is reached and the vein is more
extensively developed a great body
of profitable ore will be exposed.
The Sand Grass claim is the most
westerly of the company's holdings,
adjoining the Red Plume claim on
the west and the Tonopah Merger
on the south and the latter compa-
ny's Deming claim in which the Muir
raw vein is being developed adjoins
it on the west.
The development of this claim was
in 1910 when the shaft
lad reached a depth of 700 feet, but
