TWO TONOPAH COMPANIES DECLARE DIVIDENDS:
MAG NAMARA VEIN EXPOSED IN THE jim BUTLER

/; level on a full face Of low grade
ore.
On the SOS level prosecuting
south from the Macdonald vein is be-
ing continued into the Midway
ground in order to pick up the vein
exposed in the Midway workings,
which carries good mill values, and
will. it is believed, be found to con-
tinue into the Montana workings.
The slopes on the Macdonald vein
above the 765 and 69S-foot levels
continue to yield a good tonnage OF
very good mill ore.
Work has now been started in the
Midway mine through connections
made with the different levels Of the
Montana, and stopping has now been
started on some bodies of low grade
ore, and drifting and prosecuting
has also been commenced on two
levels.
The company shipped out yester-
day twelve bars of bullion weighing
779k pounds and 20 tons Of con
centrates, the cleanup of the mill

Owing to the mill being closed for
43 hours for repairs to the batteries.
last week.
North Star
Operations at the North Star mine
are mainly restricted to prospecting
work and drifting, raising and stop
ing on ore has been temporarily sus-
pended until it is possible to resume
milling operations.
The company's ore bins and ore
chutes underground are filed. and
without storage facilities it was use
less to continue work in ore, but
several blocks of good ore have been
opened up ready for stopping.
The raise on the foot wall vein
which opened up three feet of good
ore two weeks ago has now connect
ed with the 1850 foot level and in
places exposed some very rich ore.
From the main east drift on the
1850 level, a north crosscut is being
run along the foot wall of the Miz-
pah fault to prospect for ore, and
south crosscut 1913 is being run
east of the North Star fault to pick
up the continuation of the foot wall
vein.
Both of these crosscuts are in
trachyte formation.
TOnopah Merger
The water in the east winze on the
117O-foot level of the Tonopah Mer-
ger mine has decreased very consid-
erably in the past week owing to
the baling operations at the Tonopah
Victor shaft and theer are now only
fourteen feet of water in the Wine
which is sunk to a depth of "a feet
below the ITO level. 1t is believed
that in the course of the next few
days all of this water will be drain
ed, and the management will then
Immediately cut a station at the
bottom of the WINE and commence
drifting west on the Merger vein.
The shaft is equipped with an cleo
trio hoist and skip, these having been
left in position when work in the
winze was abandoned some months
ago.
West End CON-.
No changes of Importance have
occurred in the West End mine in
the past week, where drifting on the
lower contact vein has now been
commenced on the $50 level.
About the 900 level stopping of ore
is still in progress, and on the 400
level drifting on the vein in the west
ern workings is also in progress in
mill ore.
The company shipped out this
week 80 bars of bullion weighing
44.SO2 ounces, valued at $2S.25O.
the cleanup of the mill for the last
portion of the month of August.
In the last week the mill treated
1915 tons of ore. an average of 2O2
tons a day, of which 1920 tons were
milled for the West End company
and 295 tons were milled for the
Halifax company.
Buckeye-BelmOnt
Drifting west on the 1900 level of
the Buckeye-Belmont mine is still
in progress on a large body of quartz
which is from twelve to fourteen
feet wide and carries values from
$40 to $12 a ton. The drift is be-
ing extended toward the east bound
ary line of the Belmont company,
and it is now out about 60 feet from
the shaft station.
Driftipp cast on this level has
been resumed from the shaft station
in order to pick up the continuation
OF the ore body now being mined in
the Halifax ground, which it is be-
lieved will be found to extend into
the Buckeye territory.
