TOnopah Mining Co.

the workings Of the Tonopah Min
ing company's property-nothing
but the steady and intelligent peg
ging away that results in the con-
slant stream of wages and dividends
that this company pays. In a way
it gets to be an old story to write,
or read, week after week, of a prop
erty where no startling changes oc-
cur, but to those who are interested
story never becomes tiresome.
In the Mizpah mine new raises
have been started on both the 800
and the 4O0-foot levels and they are
both in mill ore.
In the Silver Top mine drifts
were started east and west on a
new vein which was encountered in
the south crosscut in the extreme
western workings. This vein is
from 8 to 4 feet in width where it
was encountered in the crosscut,
and good values are shown by the
assays.
In the Red Plume mine stopping is
in progress on the West End vein,
which is still holding it's width and
values. Stopping has also been re-
sumed on the Red Plume vein be-
low the 7OO-foot level, at the point
where the intermediate crosscut
from the raise from the S00-foot
level connects with the underhand
stope.
The report from the mill for the
week ending October 3 shows that
90 stamps out of the 100 have been
constantly dropping and crushed
1850 tons of ore of an average value
of $3.50 a ton for an average ex-
traction of 90 per cent of the values.
Shipments from the mill consisted of
"a bars of bullion valued at Sal, 900,
and "a IONS of concentrates valued
at $11,40O, making a total of $52,-
400.
TOnOpah FIX.
The Egyptian vein in the old
workings from the No. l shaft of
the Tonopah Extension mine con-
tinues to develop in a most satisfac-
tory manner, and a large tonnage of
high grade ore has already been de-
veloped.
The eastern extension of this vein
has been opened up this week in
south crosscut 4, or the 4O0-foot
level, 100 feet east of the east drift
from the big stope. This proves the
vein on it's strike for almost 400
feet, with a possibility of another
ION foot boforo opcouptoripo tho Ey-
tension fault.
In the big stope, $50, the vein
shows 8 to IL feet of high grade ore,
and below this, off the $40 crosscut,
drifts east and west are being run
on full faces of good ore.
The Lower Contact vein continues
to show 8 to 6 feet of good mill ore
in the various slopes and drifts from
the 500 to the 6S0-foot levels.
From No. 2 shaft the Murray vein
is developing in a very satisfactory
manner The west drifts on the
ent in faulted zones, and the drift on
the 11OO-foot level has been tenn
porarily stopped while a crosscut is
run to the footwall.
Cutting out for Slopes is in pro-
gress on the $50, 1920, 100 and
1170-foot levels, and shows from 10
to 90 feet of ore of very good grade.
The final cleanup of the mill was
1920 ounces and the value of the
output for the month of September
was about $4,000. The total ton
mage for the month was 54,473 tons.
In the past week the mill has
kept up it's average of about 200
tons per day.
Belmont
The new vein on the 90O-fOOt
level of the Desert Queen workings
of the TonOpah Belmont company
has been proven for 220 feet and
maintains its strength and persist
ency in both east and west drifts.
The vein is yielding good grade ore
and the crosscuts which are being
run to pick up it's upward and down.
ward extensions or the 500 and
1O00-foot levels are making the
usual progress in the trachyte for
nation.
In the raise from the west drift on
the new orebOdy on the 9OO-foot
level of the Desert Queen workings,
they have now 6 feet of fine ore in
the face, with no footwall in sight.
The Lille Bell vein now shows a
full face of very good ore. 1t seems
to be the same vein that is being
drifted on on the 9OO-foot level.
Raise AS on the 1100-foot level on
the Belmont vein is being continued
upward on a body of fair mill ore.
The usual progress has been made
on the Shaft vein and a large tom
mage of the average grade of ore is
being produced from different work
ings. The west drift from crosscut
1901 shows very good ore and the
