TOnOpah Mining
The Tonopah Mining companys re-
port for September shows that there
wash milled during the month Al
tons more of ore than during Aug
ust. The average value per ton was
S14. which is somewhat below the
usual. AS has been the case for
several months past, the profits are
only estimated, as no silver is being
sold and will not be until the market
commands a higher price. Thus the
profits will doubtless be greater than
the above estimate.
At the Tonopah Mining company's
property greater progress was made
in opening up new ground during
the past week, the footage exceeding
that of the previous week by So feet.

was broken, but the Mizpah made a
