MINES OF TONOPAH MAKE 2
USUAL LARGE PRODUCTION

904 tons, the Jim Butler 100 tons,
the Halifax so tons, and miscellan-
eous leasers PIG tons. making the
total production of the week 10.345
tons the estimated value being $212.-
134. This valuation is calculated on
the gross milling value of the ore.
The report of mill operations OF
the Tonopah Mining company for
the week ending Oct. so, shows that
an average of 81 stamps We're kept
dropping. and that $3.50 tons of ore
were put through the mill, the ore
maintaining an average of $12 per
ton.
Bullion to the extent of 3S bars
valued at $4,000. was shipped as
the result of the mill cleanup for
the week.
The report of mining and devei-
opment operations in the Tonopah
Mining ccmpany's property for the
past week shows that less footage
was accomplished than for several
previous weeks, the eason being
that a very considerable amount Of
timbering and other work was nee
essary. which required the labor OF
men who, otherwise. would have been
engaged in mining operations.
Notwithstanding this condition,
SO feet of work was done in the
Silver Top workings. while in the
Red Plume and Sand Grass sections
of the mine fOotage to the extent Of
% feet and GA feet respectively was
completed. making a total of 1S1
feet of new work during the week
for the entire property, notwith-
standing the timbering and other
operations that were in progress at
the same time.
The constant production from the
sections OF the mine. has been We'll
maintained, and the development OPP
erations have progressed without in
%terruption. The record for the week
does not reveal any discoveries or
DEVELOPMENTS of unusual conse-
quence, but it is equally true that
there has been no falling off either
in the size of the faces of ore on
which stopping operations are in pro-
gress or in the average value OF the
ore being extracted. The opera
tions in new ground, which are pro-
y Feeding as usual to keep pace with
5the extraction of developed ore. are
meeting with the entire satisfaction
of the management.
In the Silver Top workings on the
$40 level, the south cross-cut which
is being driven from the main west
drift made very gratifying progress
during the week. This crosscut Is
passing through waste, and it is ex-
pected that during the coming weeX
it will connect with a drift on the
Valley View footwall vein No 2
further to the south.
Halifax TOnOpah
The e discovery on the l2Oo
level in the Halifax mine is natur-'
ally attracting more attention than
is devoted to any other Tonopah de
yelopment of recent date. The full
significance of this discovery Is
realized not only locally, but SEEM
to be fully understood by the 1T
side patrons of the camp, who have
been deluging the local
with telegraphic inquiries relative 10
the extent and true significance on
the discovery.
1t is only natural that the well
informed should be deeply interested
in this development, not altogether
because of it's direct effect on the
Halifax property itself but as much
because, should the present showing
develop into a large orebody, 1T VIII
prove the continuation of the Won
derful Tonopah vein system at least
1850 feet beyond the extreme easter
" limits of the Belmont property.
And it requires no argument to de-
monstrate the effect of this devel-
cpment on the future welfare OF the
entire camp of TonOpah. The his
tory of the conditions in Tonopah
prior to the great discovery in the
belmont mine, with it's effect in re-
iuvenating general prosperity. is still
fresh in the minds of all Tono2ah
stockholders and operators, and 1t is
not surprising that cOncensus Oh
opinion is hal the Halifax discovery
bids fair to have the anne general
effect on present conditions through
out the district.
Since the last report was given
out. operations have been prosecut-
ed without interruption in the TO-
cality of the new discovery, and OK
cellent progress has been made. tax
ing all conditions into consideration.
