TONOPAH Mine PROPERTIES
Showing USUAL Development

thirty-sixth dividend of 20 cents a
share, payable July 81, making total
dividends to that date $11,S5O.000.
The company shipped out this week
80 bars of bullion valued az $4,000.
The mine generally is showing great
Red Plume workings.
Tonopah Belmont shipped out IS
bars of bullion, weighing 132,56O
ounces. valued at sos, 400, and so
tons of dry concentrates, the clean
up of the mill for the first half of
the month of June. The company is
now operating the pumping plant on
the 18th level, and will commence
active development of the mine at
that depth and on the 14th level.
Tonopah Extension workings on
the 1O2O-foot level of the new work
ing shaft encountered a body of rich
ore in the Murray vein. Equipment
for increasing the capacity of the
mill to PTS IONS daily has been or
dered.
Tonopah Merger mine showing
large bodies of mill ore developed
from the S6O-foot to the 1170-foot
level, and drifting west on the vein
on this level is still in progress.
The West End Consolidated COM
pany shipped u 81 bars of bullion
weighing 1851 ounces, valued at
$4,000, and $4,000 worth of matte.
Raising to the lower contact vein on
the 1OO-foot level is still in progress.
Jim Butler opens up downward ex-
tension of the h~anging-wall branch
of the south vein on the 7OO-foot
level of the Desert Queen workings.
The different facts of ore in this Sec
ton of the mine and in the Wander
ing Bow workings continue to show
good values.
The Montana-Tonopah company
shipped out 10 bars of bullion, weigh
ing 1909 pounds of the estimated
value of $4,000. The central por-
ton of the Martha vein under de-
velopment on the 515 and 615-foot
levels shows good values.
The MacNamara company is still
drifting on mill ore in the lower con-
tact vein above the 500 level. The
company shipped out 10 bars of bull
lion of the estimated value OF
$4,000. The first assessment OF the
reorganized company has been lev
led.
Tonopah Victor's south crosscut Is
now progressing at the rate OF over
ten feet a day in trachyte formation.
Tonopah Cash Boy shaft reached
a depth of 1880 feet in favorable for
nation.
Tonopah production for the week
1896 tons of the gross milling val
ne of 1901, 1855, an increase of 334
tons over last weeks production.
TonOpah FIX.
The Murray vein on the 1020-foOt
leevl of the Tonopah Extension mine
has now proved to be 23 feet wide
and it is possible that it's extreme
width has not yet been determined,
as the footwall side of the vein still
shows rhyolitic quartz. heavily stain
ed with pink manganese, an infall1-
BILE sign of ore in this vein.
The vein al this depth shows great
Improvement as compared with Its
condition on the 95O-foot level, and
for the entire 23 feet will average
from $40 to $21 a ton, and in the
center is a width of four feet of solid
sulphide ore which will assay from
500 a ton up to exceedingly high
values. These sulphides show a
large quantity of %argentite and poly
basite, these being primary minerals
indicative of the continuation of val
ues to great depth.
At the 1920 level the vein has in
places changed to a white quartz,
characteristic of the TOnOpah dis
trict, and is more solid than on the
levels above, and from the fact that
the ore shoot was encountered d.
rectly south of the shaft, it is be-
lieved that it will prove to be OF
greater length than on the level
above, where it was necessary to
drift 35 feet westward before
tering it.

OH it's dip from the level above and
will therefore add a very large ton
mage to the ore reserves in the mine.
On the $50 level this ore shoot
has so far been proved to be over
14O feet long, and the drift still
shows excellent grade Or in the face.
1t is therefore expected that it will
prove to be 35 feet longer on the
lower level as it was encountered 30
feet further east.
Drifting westward on the vein on
the 1920 level has now been COM
menced, the drift being carried across
a width of ten feet, and this work
is exposing some exceedingly rich ore
in large masses and streaks through
out the vein, the ore shoot proving to
