Tonopah Mining company shipped
$3S,400, and 81 tons of concentrates
valued at $1,000, making a total of
$47,S00. The Last Chance vein in
the Red Plume workings continues
to show four feet of good ore.
Tonopah Belmont resumes develop
ment of the Belmont vein on the
fifteenth level, and will continue de-
velopment work north of this vein
on the 18th and 14th levels.
Tonopah Extension opens up the
Murray vein on the 110O-foot level
of the new main working shaft, show
ing nine feet of rich ore east of the
incline shaft, and a large body of
rich ore west of the shaft. Drifting
west has been commenced on the
1920 foot level in rich ore, and drift
ing west has been resumed on the
950-foot level in excellent mill ore.
Work on the addition to the mill
will be commenced next week.
Montana = Tonopah's output and
average values of ore for June will
show increases over the May produc-
ton.
Jim Butter now installing Eew
noisting plant at Wandering Boy
shaft, and commenced drifting on
the south vein on the 7O0-foot level
of the Desert Queen workings.
Mizpah Extension completes ar
rangements with Belmont Company
for the handling of waste from the
crosscut on the 14OO-foot level.
MacNamara opens up streak of
rich ore below the 625-foot level in
the lower contact vein.
Rescue cutting stringers CO quartz
in the south crosscut on the SOO-foot
level.
North Star opens up good ore in
the footwall vein in a raise above
the 113O-foot level.
Cash Boy shaft now in trachyte
formation at a depth of 1850 feet.
Tonopah Victor's south crosscut
on the 14SO-foot level gives every
indication of the proximity of an ore
body.
Tonopah Merger still drifting in
good shipping ore on the 117O-foot
level.
Tonopah production this week H.
$50 tons of the gross milling value
of $297,9S5.

The great Murray vein in the new
shaft of the Tonopah Extension mine
is proving to be M of the most re-
markable ore bodies opened up in
Tonopah in several years in point OF
width and average high values.
The vein has now been crosscut
East of the shaft on the 110O-foot
level and proved to be nine feet wide,
averaging from $40 to SIS a ton, and
drifting east on this has been COM
aging over $50 a ton.
The ore is not only of the higher
average grade than on the 1O2O-foOt
level, but additional Importance is
added to the development from the
fact that the ore shoot has been
proved to extend east of the shaft,
which it did not do on the upper
levels and as the shoot is raking to
the west it is only reasonable to as
sumo that it is frightening, as well
as carrying higher values at greater
depth. The fact that the vein is only
nine feet wide east of the shaft is ex-
planned through the ore shoot oc-
curing in lenticular form. the cross
cut having passed through it near
it's narrowest end, the shoot widen
ing on it's western course.
The vein has also been encountered
west of the shaft in the southwest
crosscut, which has now penetrated
it for ten feet, showing splendid val
ues, and the crosscut is being con-
tinued to the footwall.
The opening up of the ore on this
level now proves a height of 22O
feet OF splendid ore on the dip of
the rein from the 95O-foot level, al
though above this point payable mill
ore extends upward for another 100
feet.
Drifting west on the rich ore en-
countered last week on the 1O2O-foot
level was started this week and the
drift is being carried ten feet wide
with neither wall exposed.
The entire face of the drift is OF
very high milling grade with masses
and streaks of splendid specimen ore
through it and is one of the richest
faces of ore exposed in the camp for
some years.
