and Red Plume where the workings
were advanced for a total of 247
feet. divided as follows: Silver Top,
go feet, Sand Grass, 81 feet, and Red
Plume. 1O4 feet.
The Mizpah was the scene OF
steady stopping which furnishes the
greatest tonnage of the property but
a pleasing incident was the fact that
stope GOA on the Red Plume ard
Silver Top shows a steadily increas-
ing width.
The report of mill operations OF
the Tonopah Mining company for the

TOnOpah Belmont
The Tonopah Belmont mine shows
greater improvement than at an:
corresponding period of the past
three monthe and every quarter
where orebodies are showing the
values are more persistent and reg
ular than has been the case recently
In fact the developments of the last
three weeks have been f~orecasting a
betterment that is almost as good as
in the palmy days of the property.
On the 100 level raise 6S holed
through into the intermediate DRIFT
off raise Sc on the Mizpah fault VEN
which will be used for an ore chute
intermediate drift off raise 20 on the
same level has been cut off by the
Belmont fault. The west drift OIL
north crosscut 8 on the Rhyolite vein
shows two feet of fair ore. The S
drift off north crosscut " Is
now showing a full face of good
ore. West drift / off north crosscut
Is on the Branch B, Favorite VEIN
shows two and a half feet OF good
ore. ;.
On the 1900 level, east drift z OH
north crosscut 10 on the Rhyolte
vein reveals several small ringer
of quartz. West drift off nor'h
crosscut Is shows about six lnches
of broken vein material. This is a
marked Improvement over the ap
nearances of both drifts last week
and NAV be taken as presumptive
evidence that the ore is making INTO
a good sized ledge as the increase
has already been steady since the
first stringers were cut. Raise 81
on the Thanksgiving vein discloses
about ~ inches of fair ore.
On the 700 level. in west DRIFT
ESQ on the Occidental vein there is
a showing of one foot of fair ore.
A new raise will be started with a
view to prospecting the Mizpan
Fault vein northeast of the shaft.

territory without change. In oOo-o
stope operation continues without
any change worth recording TINS
