TOnOpah Extension
The prediction made several
month ago that the Tonopah Exten-
sion would, from it's new main shaft
workings, develop into one of the
greatest mines in the camp is surely
coming true and today it stands only
second to the Belmont in point of
tonnage of average high-grade mill
ore exposed coupled with it's vast
potentialities under future develop
ment.
These developments are in the
Murray vein which has now been
proved from the 75O-foot level to
1876 feet below the 950-foot level and
has been drifted on for owe 500 feet
east and west on that level, opening
up one of the greatest and most per-
sistent ore shoots in the camp, and
its western limits not yet determined.
The Murray vein was first struck
on the 75O-foot level where it was OIL
average low-grade and possibly the
highest point at which it shows really
good values is about $40 feet and the
bottom of the winze, 1876 feet below
the 950-foot level ana has been drift
ed on for over 800 feet east and
west on that level, opening up one
of the greatest and most persistent
ore shoots in the camp, and it's west
ern limits not yet determined.
1he Murray vein was first struck
on the 75O-foot level where it was OF
average low-grade and possibly the
highest point at which it shows real
ly good values is about $40 feet and
the bottom of the Wine, 1856 feet
below the 95O-foot level gives a
depth of 315 feet on the pre-, which
on the dip of the vein is a height
of over 500 feet of ore proved for
a length of 800 feet on the 95O-foot
level.
The vein has shown better values
as depth is attained and from the
bottom of the winze and from the
west drift from the 100-foOt point
of this winZe, some of the richest
sulphide in the camp mas been taken
daily, show very high milling values.
On the 95O-foot level, the vein
was 67 feet wide with two ore shoots.
one of which is on the hanging wall
and the other on the footwall sep
ouo%o Lr ho1u of IoW-urodo mill
ore, all of which can be stopped and
milled at a profit when mixed with
richer ore
The best ore shoot is on the hang
ing-wall and is six feet wide and de-
velopment work has been concen-
trated on this.
Practically no ore has been
stopped but the tonnage extracted
from development work amounting to
55 or so tons a day has raised the
average values of the ore milled to
fro m$12 a ton of foul months ago,
to from $3.50 to $40 a ton
Merger
The northwest crOsscut from the
main west drift on the 117O-foOr
level of the Tonopah Merger mine
this week broke into what is APP
parently the footwall of the main
Merger vein, showing a fine body OF
ore assaying over 500 a ton. This
crosscut was started from the west
drift at a point 425 feet back from
where the orebody was encountered
two weeks ago with the object of
pickingpicking up the faulted east
segment of the main Merger vein,
which it has now done, and prac-
tically proved the extension of the
vein from this point to the fault, 425
feet west.
Work in the property has now es-
tablished the fact that there are
three parallel veins in the mine.
