company will not only be materially
increased, but the extraordinary ex-
penses of the last few months, for
q machinery and its installation.
will be done away with.
Besides the ten extra stamps that
were added, a new tube mill, eight
concentrating tables, another Dorr
thickener and six new zinc boxes
we're installed.
AS the result Of the cleanup for
the third week in November the Elk
tension shipped FL bars of bullion
last Saturday morning. This ship
ment of bullion weighed 24S0
pounds and the value is in the neigh
borhood Of $22,800.
At the mine the new development
proves that there will be no diff
Guilty in playing up to the increased
capcity Of the mill for some time to
capacity. The slopes on the Egyptian
vein from the 400 and 500 foot lev
els are maintaining their usual
widths and values of ore.
TOnOp0n MINING 10.
In addition to the continued salts.
factory production from the local
mine of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany, nothing but good reports are
coming from the subsidiary COM
panies controlled by tht corporation.
The present boom in Goldfield has
greatly increased the business of the
Tonopah & Goldfield railroad, and
there is no question but that this in
creased activity will not only contin-
ue, but even grow greater for some
time. The increased profits of the
railroad company will go largely to
the Tonopah Mining company, as 1t
owns most of the stock.
Then the Tonopah Placers com.
pany, the control of which is owned
by the Tonopah Mining company,
and whose property is located near
Breckenridge, Colorado, is making
a good profit, much of which will
eventually find its way to the pock-
cts of the Tonopah company.
At this writing there seems no
question but that the 4onopah Min
ing company will complete the pur-
chase of the mines of the Panama
Mining company in Nicaragua. Moth
ing but good is heard of this prop,
erty, and it appears that 1t is only
a question of operating the mines
and mill on a sufficiently large scale
and with modern methods. in order
to produce good dividends for some
time.
West End
In addition to keeping the mill
supplied with the usual amount of
ore from the several ore bodies here
tofore opened up, there is a large
amount of new development work at
the West End mine. Much of this
new work is being done in portions
of the mine that previously had not
been prospected, and the results are
very satisfactory. Not only have
new ore bodies been encountered,
but the values are above the aver
age.
During the week raise $40. which
was sent up from the footwall cross
cut, struck the vein and exposed six
feet of good ore
Another raise, No. $50, which is
about 20 feet further west, encoun-
tered the vein and has gone through
to the banging wall. At this poin.
the vein shows five feet of good re.
and demonstrates the continuity OF
the ore body for an additional 10
feet. In fact, both the above raises
are in the same ore body that was
first proved up in stope sos and in
which there is a splendid showing
of high grade ore. The values are
now proven to a considerable dis.
lance both north and west.
Jim Butler
The vicinity of the Wandering Boy
shaft of the Jim Butler company is
beginning to show a different ap-
~pearance than it has in the past.
Now that the Catholic church and
the parsonage which adjoined it have
been removed to their new location.
there Is plenty OF room TOT
the ore dump and to allow for the
surface improvements contemplat-
ed and under way.
The retimbering of the shaft was
completed some days ago and dur
ing the past week the guides for both
the shaft and the counterbalance
we're put in. The main air line, the
wire line and the ladder ways are all
in, and the shaft is now In ship
shane order and ready for use.
The new foundation for the COM
presaor is set and the moving of the
compressor is under way, and by the
middle of the week it will be in the
new location. Work on the new
building which is to house the COM
pressor was started Wednesday and
