nopah Mining 1850 tons, the 'rono-

tons, the Halifax 20 tons, the North

This valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value of the ore.
An event of unusual importance
to the Tonopah Mining company was
the arrival in camp of several of its
most prominent officers and direc-
tors, who spent considerable time in
going over the cvompany's local af-
fairs.
In the party of visiting directors
were the company's president, j. s.
Austin; c.. A. Higbee, secretary and
treasurer; Chas. r. Miller, who is
now governor of Delaware, AMI SAM
uel Bell, Jr. M. B. Cutter, presi-
dent of the Tonopah & Goldfeld
railroad company, was also one OF
the party.
In talking with a representative
of the Miner, these gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as exceedingly
we'll pleased with the general affairs
of the company, and all were of the
opinion that a steady continuation
of the rise in the price of silver is
to be confidently expected, with
necessarily most favorable effects on
general prosperity throughout the
Tonopah district.
All members of the party were
highly gratified by the new discov-
cry in the Halifax, as we'll as the
new showings in the western Sec
ton of the camp. The general opin-
ion prevails among the party that
these new discoveries portend a new
and greater era of prosperity and a
great prolongation of life for To-
nopah. The opinion vas also ex-
pressed that the company has not by
any means abandoned either the
hope or the plan of finally opening
up large orebodies below h pres
ent non-ore-bearing intrusion, which
will be more vigorously and system
atically prosecuted than was practlc-
able Heretofore.
The party left on Wednesday
mornings train for San Francisco,
where a few days will be spent be-
fore the journey eastward is begun.
The report of mill operations OF
>the Tonopah Mining company for the
week ending Nov. 6, 1915, SHOWS
than an average of 90 stamps were
kent dropping and that 800 tons
of ore were put through the mill
the ore maintaining an average OF
$12 per ton.
Bullion to the extent of 80 bars,
valued at ~$46,350, was shipped as
the result of the mill cleanup for
the week.
The record of new work In de-
velopment and mining operations
during the past week shows that 20l
feet was completed, as compared
with only 1S1 feet for the previous
week.
HalifaX-TOnOpah
The new discovery in the HALIFAX
mine continues to be the dramatic
feature of Tonopah Developments,
and it is not surprising That In
Vulnerable inquiries are still pour
ing into the offices OF the local.
brokers and others h are suppos-
ed to have facilities for accurate
and up-to-the-minute information.
The late market movements nave
been misunderstood on the outside,
the failure of the stock to rise more
RAPIDLY and the small amount OF re-
cent trading having apparently caus-
ed some misapprehension among
those who had heard strong stories
If the truly remarkable discovery.
The movement of the stock, at
least temporarily, bears little ella
ton to the mine development, which
is proceeding under skillful man
agement without regard to the Ell
fects on market conditions.
Since the report of last week no
further work has been done In the
bottom of the winze on the 12Oo-
foot level, where the discovery OF
the vein was made. After reachlns
a depth in this Wine of about 30
feet, work was stopped until a hoist
could be installed to facilitate fur-
ther sinking to a depth of at iaast
100 feet. The preparations for ID
stalling this hoist. together with the
time required in timbering and max
ing necessary preparations of a gen.
eral character, have consumed the
past week, and in all probability
four or five days more will hs re-
uuired in preparatory work before
actual winze sinking w..h the az
sistance of the new hoist can ne re-
sumed.
