llStduce lTOHl the tOWu may prove 10
Obe a valuable addition to the camp.
Up to now sufficient work has not
been done on the veins to enable
mining engineers to express any def
mite opinion upon their permanency
at depth, but 1t is a significant fact
that all the practical mining men
who have examined the workings on
the veins declare they look good"
and several mining men connected
with the leading Tonopah companies
have acquired interests in leases and
are contributing their share to the
development of the new section of
the district.
There are at least two very en-
couraging conditions, namely, the
veins appear to be widening and
holding the values as depth is reach
ed, and it is certainly worth while to
continue sinking as long as this con-
dition remains.
Owing to the closing of the mines
on Labor day the production Of To-
nopah this week shows a decrease of
1885 tons, the output for the week
having been 9425 tons of the gross
milling value of $196,54O.
The Belmont is developing two
new bodies of rich ore on the 900
foot level of the Desert Queen work
ings. The company shipped out this
week 70 bars of bullion weighing
146,335 ounces of the estimated val
ne of $92,195, calculating silver at
so cents an ounce, and "A tons Of

The Tonopah Mining company
shipped out this week 80 bars of
bullion and 38 tons of concentrates.
the cleanup of the mill for the week
ending September 9Th. The Tono-
pah Placer company is making good
returns.
The Tonopah Extension opened up
large bodies of good ore on the 100
level of the Murray vein and a large
body of rich ore was opened up in
the Egyptian vein. The company
shipped out this week 20 bars OF
bullion weighing 2S.19S ounces, val
ued at $24,1OO, the cleanup of the
mill for the first seven days of Sep

jim Butler opened up seven feet
of good ore on the 700 level of the
Desert Queen workings. The new
ore shoot in the east end of h Mac
Namara vein continues to carry very
kgood values.
The Montana Tonopah company
commences active work in the old
section of the Midway mine.

ings of the Belmont which are show
ing the richest ore discovered in the
property since the shaft vein was
encountered over two years ago..
Both OF these ore bodies have
been encountered in a north cross
cut on the 900 level of the Desert
Queen workings, the first having
been cut two weeks ago and proved
to be over nine feet wide, averaging
from $40 to 800 a ton. but drifting
on this is opening up very much
richer ore.
The west drift, which is now out
over 35 feet and is being carried six
feet wide, is carrying very high val
ues, including a good sized streak of
exceedingly rich black sulphide ore
while punches of specimen ruby sill
yer ore occur in p%rofusion. The east
drift on the vein is also exposing a
full face of splendid ore, although
not so rich as in the west drift.
The second ore body was cut on
Wednesday night in the extension
of he north crosscut beyond the first
vein. and this is over three feet wide
of very rich ore and is probably a
hanging wall branch of the first vein
and drifting on this will now be
started and the crosscut will be CO.
tinued t o the north.
The new ore bodies are located in
the Favorite claim between the Miz-
nah and Belmont faults and have not
vet been correlated with n other
known veins in the mine and can be
drifted on east and west between
the two faults for we 1000 feet and
their upward and downward extern
sion has also yet to be proved.
