pan VICTOR mine.
Another development of consid-
cradle Importance that took place in
the Tonopah Extension during the
past week vas at the 400 foot level
of the No. 1 shaft. Some time ago
south crosscut No. 4 cut the Egypt
ian vein, about 100 feet east of the
last raise which was put up from
intermediate level $40 where the cut
vein showed a narrow streak of fair
ore and a drift was started upon the
same. The vein in this drift has
now widened until the full face is in
ore and the grade of the ore has in
creased until it is now considerably
above the average.
Mizpah Elk.
The special meeting of the stock
holders of the Mizpah Extension
company, which was called for the
purpose of r%atifying the deal for a
lease with option to purchase that
had previously been made by the di-
rectors with the Tonopah Mining
company, vas largely attended, there
being at least 100 persons present.
Practically the entire issue of COM
mon and preferred stock was repre-
scented at the meeting and when the
vote wa taken there wasn't a single
share voted against the deal which
had been made.
The board of directors met subse-
quently and authorized the president
and secretary to attach the seal to
the agreement. The transfers of the
| Mixpah Extension stock will be made
as usual in their office in the Bull
lit building.
Lambert OFT was elected a men,
! Der of the board of directors in place
of J. S. Austin who, being a mem
Der of the board of directors of the
Tonopah Mining company, handed in
his resignation before the negotia-
lions were were started.
The development work from now
on will be in charge of the TonOpah
Mining company, and in spite of ru-
mors to the contrary, Mr.. Austin
states that no definite plans have
been decided upon as yet. 1t is their
intention to first thoroughly examine
the Mizpah Extension property be-
fore determining their plans of de-
velopment.
Jim Butler.
The head frame at the Wandering
Boy shaft of the Jim Butler COM
lpany was completed during the
! week, and the compressor and the
| balance of the machinery is now
practically ready to be put into COM
mission. However, there are some
! platforms to be built and odds and
probably be a week or two yet be-
fore there is any production from
this shaft.
Whether or not there has been
no announcement regarding the mat
ter-but that there can be a mater
is no question. There is plenty of
ore that can be produced from this
shaft which is in no wise affected
by the litigation with the West End
company.
There have been no important de-
the Desert Queen shaft and no par
| ticular changes to note that do not
| show in the formal report.

ual semi-monthly shipment of gold
bullion to the mint last week, &C
cording to a dispatch sent from
Breckenridge, Colo, where the COM
pany is operating. 1t is estimated
that the gold bricks shipped were
worth in the neighborhood of $780,

company has suspended operation OF
the numbers one and two dredges,
for the winter season. The number
three dredge is still at work on the
rich deposit in French gulch.
At the local mine of the Tono-
pah Mining company the develop
ment work was much less than u.s.
ual, OWNS 30 the fact that the mines
we're closed down for two days to
give the employees a chaIc> for
Christmas celebration. There was

during the week, but there were ia
vorable developments at several
points.
West End Consolidated.
At the West End mine during the
past week there has been no espec-
ial change from the conditions thai
were noted in last weeks issue. The
very rich ore which was discovered
in stope sos is holding it's own as
developments proceed, and the aver
