duction and with the capacity of
the mill very much increased, the
larger dividends will doubtless be
the regular order of the day.
At the mine sinking has been re-
sumed on the main incline winze
from the 1170 level. This will be
put down without delsy deep enough
for two more levels, and if the ore
bodies hold their widths and values
to these lower levels, as it is fully
believed they will, the increased val
ne of the Tonopah Extension will be
apparent.
A new ore showing was made dur
ing the week at the 950-foot level,
where raise GA cut the Murray vein.
Six feet of good ore are now show.
ing in this raise.
Belmont
That the Tonopah Belmont mine
Is not on the decline, as has been
asserted of that and other Tonopah
mines by stock manipulators, may be
inferred from the fact that the last
two bullion shipments have been
close to the record mark. In these
days, when the price of silver is low
and which would be still lower il
the Tonopah companies threw their
product on the market, instead of
storing it-such a production gives
the lie to those who would traduce
1onopah for Interior purposes.
Clyde A. Heller, president of the
company, is in Tonopah this week,
and has nothing but satisfaction to
express regarding the mine and mill.
Cal Brougher, who has been from
the start n of the big owners of
Belmont stock, is also here this
week. Mr.. Brougher's only kick is
on the low price of silver.
Eighty-nine bars of bullion,
weighing 17S,S51 ounces, and worth
in the neighborhood of $~130,561,
were shipped from the Belmont on
the 9Th. This is the result of the
final clean up of the mill for the
month of November.
At the mine there were no devel-
opments that are not sufficiently ex-
planned in the formal report. The
usual amount of new ground was
broken, and the usual tonnage sent
to the mill.
Apex Litigation
AS was foreshadowed by the ex-
tensive preparations mat have been
in progress for months, the suit or
the Jim Butler Tonopah Mining COM
pany VS.. the West End Consolidated
trial in the district court before
Judge Averill, is proving extremely
interesting.
Everything connected with the
case conspires to awaken the interest
and hold it. First, there is the big
amount of money and valuable ore
deposits involved, the ownership or
which will be decided only when the
case reaches a final conclusion-un-
less, indeed, the interested parties
reach a compromise before that
time comes.
Then there is the apparent fact
that the preparation Tor and trial OF
the case is costing each | a re-
spectable fortune for lawyers and
mining experts fees, together with
the thousand and one other neces-
sary expenses.
Again there is the elaborate mod
q, showing all the levels and practi-
cally all the workings of the mines
drifts, crosscuts, slopes, raises,
WINES, etc. Differe =, colors are
used on the model to differentiate
the ores and country rock, and the
dip of the veins and the size OF the
different workings are supposed to
be shown accurately.
The array of attorneys actively
engaged in the case, as they are con-
gregated inside the rail and alertly
watch every move that is made, is in
itself impressive. This is added to
as one takes a look at the experts
ard thinks of the great experience
they have had and the regulations
they enjoy.
And to make it still more impress
i've. there are the court stenogra-
piers working in relays and spelling
each other every Is minutes. 1t is
not only impressive. but at times
quito dramatic.
Cash Boy
The special meeting of the stock
holders of the Tonopah Cash Boy
Consolidated Mining company, which
was called for the purpose of reor-
ganizing the company on an assess
able basis, was held at the office Of
William Forman in this city Thurs
day. The stockholders ratified the
action of their directors and the
company has been taken over by the
Cash Boy Consolidated company.
Stock in the new company will be
exchanged share for share upon pay
ment of the assessment of one-half
cent per share which has been levied
