A very large onnag of splendid
mill ore has nov been proved up IN
the Murray vein from the new main
working shaft of the Tonopah Exter'
sion mine.
On both the $50 and S5O-fo0.
levels the vein has been drIfted OH
east and west Fer a distance OF over
200 feet, and as the continuation OF
the vein between these levels has
been proved and shows a good width
of ore on both levels, a very large
tonnage of ore has been made avail
able.
On the 95O-foot level the east
hanging-wall drift shows a width OF
about s feet of very good grade mill
ore. of which a width OF 3 feet Is
splendid grade, and the west DRIFT,
which is now put 21S feet from the
main cross-cut, shows a full face OF
very excellent grade mill ore in
which are streaks and punches OF
rich ore, and prosecuting from this
toward the hanging-wall is now in
progress in order to cut out a sta
ton for the main winze, which will
be sunk from the h~anging-wall side
of the west drift on the foot-Wall
side of the vein. Another winze Will
also be sunk from the east DRIFT anC
when this has reached a depth OF
about 100 feet the wines will be
connected by a drift on the ore.
Drifting east on the h~anging-wali
side of the vein is still in progress
in a body of good mill ore. Between
the foot-wall and hanging-wall drifts
a new westerly drift is being started
at a point about the middl OF the
vein, where a body of very good ore
is exposed, thus making three paral-
lei westerly drifts on the vein.

The workings in the west drift on
the 117O-foot level of the TOnopah
Merger mine, on Wednesday opened
m a width of over s feet of very
good grade ore at a point about $50
feet west of the shaft.
AS explained last week, the face
of this drift gave every indication
that a new ore-shoot would be en-
countered and a cross-cut started
across the vein has now demonstrat-
ed that the ore was nearer the foot
wall side of the vein which at this
point is over 20 feet wide.
AS this orebody has been opened
up west of the big fault through
