The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-10-09

yfhe Tonopah Extension property this
week centers principally around the
work in progress on the enormous
ore bodies on the 1920, 100, 117O,
1860 and 1850 levels and the in
teresting development work which is
being persistently prosecuted on the
1910 level in the Victor workings.
The great lens of ore that was
opened on the levels mentioned con-
tinues with most gratifying regu-
larity to retain it's values through
out the entire workings, where OPP
Grafton in progress show consider
able improvement.
On the 1860 level the stope on
the Murray vein is advancing on a
body of very good ore IL feet in
width, the general conditions at
this point being highly satisfactory.
Work was also resumed on this level
on west drift 401, progress to the
extent of Is feet having been ac-
complished . The ore in this drift
is about three feet wide and car
ries high grade values.
The big stope on the 1920 level is
carrying Is feet of good ore, while
in stope EOS on the 100 level min
ing is progressing on an ore body
Is feet wide. The greatest width of
ore this week is shown in stope 31S
on the ITO level, where the COM
pany is now mining ore across a face
of 20 feet of good quality. Slope

on ten feet of good mill ore.
On the 1850 level west drift 500
was advanced the usual distance, a
good grade of ore being followed
uniformly. This drift has now en-
c~ountered the same fault that was
cut on the 1860 level a few months
ago, and prosecuting operations
have been started to pick up the
vein beyond the fault. In raise 500
the customary progress was made,
and the showing on a full face of
good mill ore still continues.
At the Victor shaft, on the 1910
foot level, crosscut 1903 is being reg
ularly extended and good progress
was made during the week. This
crosscut is being driven toward the
Murray vein, but a considerable dis
lance must yet be covered before the
point can be reached where it is eX-
pected that the vein will be inter-
sected.
West drift 1902 is still being ad-
vanced on the footwall side OF the
big quartz vein encountered by the
in the Victor some time as3
vThe management has not yet reached
the point where it seems advisable
to turn this drift back to the hanging
wall side of the vein, where the ore
was first encountered by the cross
cut, but will probably decide to do SO
within a short time.
Water conditions in the victor
workings continue to be under per-
feet control, and the quantity OF wa
ter being produced is slowly dimin-
ishing.
Tonopah Mining Co.
The report from the Tonopah Min
ing company's mill for the week end
ing Sept. 25 shows that an average
of 96 stamps were kept continuously
dropping, and resulted in the educ
tion of $3.50 IONS of ore, the ore
maintaining an average OF $l2 2er
ton. Thirty-two bars of bullion
we're shipped from the mill, valued
at $4,000.
The amount of e ground brok-
en- in the company's workings fo1
the mast week was ~onslderaply
greater than the footage accomplish
ed during the previous week, 454
feet of work having been done this
week as compared with 314 for the
week before. OF this work 15S feet
was don in the Silver Top workings
131 feet in the Mizpah, 43 in the
Sand Grass and 1872 in the Red
Plume.
As usual, most of the work was
done in the Silver Top section OF
the mine. although a greatly increas-
ed footage was completed in the
Mizpah and Red Plume portions.
The report of mining operations
at the Tonopah mining property this
week shows that no very important
changes have occurred, all workings
continuing steadily, the principal
event of Importance being the IN
creased amount of development
work done.
A very attractive showing of ore
was developed in a new raise from
the intermediate level 642 in the
Mizpah workings, where a face OF
ore three feet wide, and carrying
excellent values, has heen opened vi
under old stope 500. The face o.
this raise is about 25 feet below the
love, above. leaving a considerable
body of ore to be stopped.
