excepting in the Mizpah workings,
in which no development is record
ed for the past week, work in this
territory having been temporarily
suspended.
In the Silver Top territory, foot
age to the extent of 129 feet was
accomplished, where 11S feet of
work was done in the Red Plume
section of the mine, and 40 feet in
the Sand Grass, the total of foot
age for the week in the entire prop
erty being 2S7 feet.
While the usual amount of stop
ing is in in nearly all sec
tons of the mine where similar OPP
erations were being carried on last
week, the report for this week e
not show hat any happenings OF
unusual Importance occurred dur
ing the week.
In the Silver Top workings on
the 34O-foot level, a new west drift
was started on the Valley View
footwall vein. This work was start
ed west of the Gold Hill fault, and
about a foot of low-grade ore has
been developed, with favorable indl-
cations for improvement as the drift
advances further.
While considerable development
work of this character is being car
ried on on this level, there are no
Stopping operations in progress for
the present.
On the 440-foot level, raise 474
on the Valley View footwall vein has
made very good progress during
the week, and is now following a
showing of from six to eight inches
of quartz. Ore is being stopped in
the Valley View footwall vein In
this raise.
Storing operations are also in
progress at the extreme western end
of the property. At this point work
is going ahead on between five and
six feet of mill ore under general
conditions which are exceedingly
satisfactory.
TonOpah Belmont Co.
The last cleanups from the mills
of the Tonopah Belmont company
resulted in the shipment of so bars
of bullion, weighing 9S,112 ounces,
valued at $65,5OO.
President Clyde A. Heller of the
Belmont company arrived in Tono-
pah during the week and spent sew
eral days in an investigation OF the
condition of the company's affairs.
To a representative of the Miner he
expressed himself as being we'll
pleased with general conditions OF
the property in Tonopah, and par
ticularly so in connection with the
new enterprises with which the
mpa has become connected dur
ing the recent past. Mr.. Heller did
not go into details regarding the
company's outside holdings, saying
that he preferred to defer this until
it was more convenient to do so in a
more definite and satisfactory man
ner. Information relative to this
aspect of the company's affairs will
he furnished in detail within a short
time for publication Gin the Miner.
The report of mining operations
for the past week at the property OF
the Tonopah Belmont Mining COM
pany shows that about the same
amount of development work, as
measured by the total fOotage, was
accomplished during the week as
as done last week, and while there
are no developments of eXtraordi-
nary moment to record, the average
record of weekly developments and
ore extraction was maintained to
the satisfaction of the management
and stockholders of the company.
The size of the O%rebOdies on
which Stopping is in progress re-
mains about the same, and the av-
erage value of the ore on which
mining operations are being con-
Quoted remains about the same as
