shoot and it is expected to reach it
very oon If the ore body is as
big and the values as good, on the
$50 foot level (as it is fully be-
lieved they will be-, this will de-
monstrate an ore body $40 feet in
length and $50 feet high, with an
average width of fU feet. Jucn ore
bodies, carrying very good averase
values, are not common, even in
such a good camp as Tonopah.
The raise in which the rich ore
was found is No. 2O3. 1t has been
making the usual progress for a
couple of weeks in ore of good grade
but during the past week the val
ues increased until the whole raise
is now in rich ore. The entire pro-
duct as it is broken down averages
very close to the best that ever
came out of the Tonopah Extern
sion.
Belmont
The report of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company for the
month of October shows a decrease
of $500 in the net profits over those
If the month of September. How
ever, this is more than accounted
for by the decrease in the price of
silver. The gold bullion produced
in October was 154,479 ounces more
than in September, while the sill
yer production was 1851 ounces
more. The tonnage treated was
five tones less than in September,
showing hal the average value per
ton was greater in October. Profits
for the ten months of the veal were,
January, s15O,2SS; February, $154-
3O4; March, $153,G11; April, 1907
494; May, $152,411; June, $780,
$50; July, $1O2,316; August, $685.
5S2; September, $121,165; October.
$120,465; making a total for the 10
months of $~1,354,495.

uatior are set forth in the resolu-
tions adopted by the executive com
mittee and printed below.
The management is optimistic as
to ultimate conditions but feel that
the current situation makes il all
visable to suspend temporarily. De-
velopment work will continue III the
property. Several crosscuts are be-
ing run to tap extensions of orc
bodies heretofore productive OF
good tonnage and high values.
West End Consolidated
Nothing new of Importance has
developed in the West End mine
during the past week. Develop
ment work continues under way on
nearly all levels. The prosecuting
on the 95O-foot level has been
stopped and drifting southwest on
the footwall of the vein is now in
progress.
Stopping has continued In prac,i
cally all of the places mentioned III
last weeks Miner. The raise from
the top of 4O0-B stope encountered
very good ore during the week.
A footwall crosscut is being run
in a northerly direction from the
50O-foot level to tap the ore body
which is now being stopped in R-505,
farther to the north.
During the week the mill treated
a total of 1,261 ton of ore, shipped
from the various properties as fol-
lows: West End mine, 962 tons;
Halifax mine, 1913 tons, North Star
mine, 1O1 tons.
The North Star
There has been evel less change
than usual in the development work
at the North Star the past week.
From the slopes on the 1850 and
1~,13O-foot levels the usual tonnage
of 100 ton of good grade mill ore
was SEN to the West End mill for
treatment.
The drift on the Macdonald vein
at the ~1,200-foot intermediate level
made the usual progress and is still
in the trachyte formation.
Mizpah Extension
The development work at Miz-
pah Extension during the week has
been confined to the drift which is
being driven from the 55-foot point
in the winze from the 1,160-foot
level.
This drift is going east and is
now advanced 30 feet. In the face
of the drift there is an ore body IL
incnes wide, that averages fairly
good ore. In addition, there is a
little high grade being produced and
this is being sacked.
