Tonopah Elk.
The Tonopah Extension mill is
now treating an average grade of
ore which promises to yield a very
much larger production of bullion
than the output of last month, and
while the mid-monthly cleanup has
not yet beer completed the indica-
tons are that the gross output for
April will be about $4,000 as com
pared to $61,340 in March. This
condition of affairs is largely due to
the excellent grade of ore in the
Murray vein in the new main work.

The western end of the mill is now
being extended to make space for the
installation of the new Trent agi-
tator which will be operated in con-
nection with the additional tube mill
and Dorr classifier, for which the
concrete foundations are now ready.
With this addition to the plant, the
tonnage will be increased to about
200 tons a day, and a much larger
output of bullion will then be made
and by the time these additions to
the mill are in operation a very large
tonnage of ore will have been devel-
oped in the Murray vein.
The winze from the 950-foot level
of this vein continues to show a full
face of excellent ore, although not
quite so high grade as last week,
and the west drift from the 1O0-foOt
point of this Wine is also being con-
tinued in very good grade ore, and
the incline shaft, 200 feet west Of
the winze is breaking into very good
ore on the hanging wall, and is evil
IDENTIFY nearing the main ore shoot.
When the winze has reached a
depth of 200 feet 1t is intended to
commence an east drift on the vein
to connect with the west drift on the
1,170-foot level of the Merger vein
and thus prove the continuity of the
ore body and give good ventilation
to both workings.
On the main 95O-foot level drift.
ing west is still in progress on the
vein, the width of which is not
known at this point, but shows about
one foot of very good ore, making
the whole face of the drift of good
milling grade.
TonOpah Mining Co.
The report of the Tonopah Mining
company for the month of March
shows an increase of sol tons of ore
milled and an increase of $47,57O in
| net profits as compared with the
I month of February, due to the aver
age value of the ore showing an in
crease of $1.55 a ton.
Drifting east and west is now in
progress on the hanging-wall side of
the big quartz vein on the 1,OO0-foot
level of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany's Sand Grass claim, the face of
both drifts being at present in low
grade ore and drifting west has been
resumed on the vein on the 7OO-foot
level, this also being very low grade.
In the Silver Top mine a new drift
has beer started on the 34O-fOOt
level to pick up the downward extern
sion of the Burro vein on which an
intermediate drift has been run
above that level on 1k feet of good
mill ore. Work has been resumed on
this level in the west drift on a foot
fall branch of the Valley View vein
der the Gold Hill fault. On the $40
1OOt level drifting on the valley view
vein is in progress on 4 to 5 feet of
low grade ore.
In the Red Plume mine, the raise
on the Last Chance is now 40 feet
above the level and the stope will
now be carried up to this point, the
vein being from l to 3 feet wide of
mill grade. A new east drift has
been started on the vein, on this
level, on a full face of mill ore. This
vein continues to yield a very large
tonnage of excellent grade ore. and
a good tonnage is also being stopped
from the West End vein.
1t is understood that the compa-
ny's annual report for the fiscal year
ending February 2Sth will be issued
on the goth INST.
