Tonopah Mining Co.
The report of the Tonopah Mining
company for the month of April
shows a decrease of 1872 tons of ore
milled and a decrease of $4,000 net
profits as compared with the month
of March, owing to the ore having
averaged $1.2S a ton less. A better
grade of ore is now being treated.
What will probably prove to be
the upward continuation of the West
End-McNamara vein was encountered
this week in the south workings from
the 5OO-foot level of the company's
Red Plume mine, where a north
crosscut has entered a vein now about
5 feet wide of mill ore.
The difficulty in identifying the
vein is due to the fact that it is in
a badly faulted section of the coun-
try, in virgin ground, but as it dips
to the south with a trachyte hang
ing-wall, it is probably the vein in
question, although this matter will
not be decided until further develop
ment has been accomplished.
Where the east extension of this
vein was picked up last week, on the
6OO-foot level beyond a fault in the
stope, it is being developed by carry
ing the stope eastward and is yield
ing a good grade of ore.
This vein extends downward on it's
south dip into the Jim Butler terri
tory and a winze will be started
shortly to determine it's depth below
the 6OO-foot level to the Jim Butler
boundary line.
With this exception, no changes
of importance have occurred in the
different properties.
TOnOpah FIX.
The capacity of the Tonopah Ex-
tension mill has now been increased
from 100 tons to 200 IONS daily by
the installation of a new tube mill,

intention of the management to fur
Their increase the mill capacity to
800 tons daily by the addition of an
other 10 stamps and a fourth tube

mine below the 950-foot level has
further progressed.
The property is now being exam
