branch of the vein was intersected
by the crosscut from intermediate
SAG during the week and a drift has
been started on it with very encour-
aging values. Raise 522 encounter
ed the vein in the last day or two
and the values are very good. The
raise is now being widened out into
a stope. The width is not known yet
as no hanging wall has been
reached.
West Tonopah Company
Gordon Campbell, one of the we'll
known mining men of Nevada is in
Tonopah this week making an eX-
animation of the property of the
West Tonopah Mining company, in
which Mr.. Mulcahy of the San Fran
cisco brokerage firm of Hutton and
company is largely interested. While
Campbell is saving considerable
wood it is believed that a resumption
of operations on the West Tonopah
is contemplated for the near future
and it is probable that the decision
as to time of resuming will rest
largely on the report he makes.
The property of the West Tono-
pah Mining company is a little over
half a mile due west of the shaft on
the Tonopah Extension. On it
there is a shaft which has reached
a depth of $40 feet and in addition
there is 400 or 500 feet of crosscut-
ting and drifting.
Both on the $50 and $40 levels a
very good looking quartz vein vas
opened up but commercial ore was
not discovered in the work so far
done.
Halifax TOnOpah
The retimbering of the Halifax
shaft has at last been finished. 1t
has been quite a job and has taken
very good job has beer done. A par
ticularly good kind of Oregon cedar
was used and it is expected to
show unusual lasting qualities. The
management is now making minor
repairs at the 1000 station, cleaning
up Scucl ally dIu NCIltllutihS shS
mine. Active mining operations will
be resumed in a very few days.
Monarch Pittsburgh
The development of the vein re-
Gently cut on the $50 level of the
Monarch Pittsburgh is being watch
ed with a great deal of interest by
many who are in no wise interest
ed in the stock of the company. If
the vein that is being explored is
the Murray vein of the TOnOpah Elk
tension, and there are those who be-
lieve that it is, it opens up great
possibilities. In any event it is a
massive vein and the fact that up
to this time the values have been
| low is anything but conclusive evil
dence that commercial ore will not
be found.
The crosscut has now penetrated
the vein for 81 feet on the angle
and the footwall is not yet in sight.
The rock is very hard and it is nee
! essary to use 60 per cent powder in
stead of the usual 40 per cent
grade. The values encountered are
gradually improving but moi enough
as yet to figure as mill ore.
Rescue Eula
The south crosscut in Maggie May
ground at the 500 level OF the Res
cue Eula made the usual progress. 1t
is still in the trachyte, but cut a
couple of unimportant stringers dur
ing the week.
Cutting out for the station at the
$50 level has been finished and a
couple of more rounds OF shots Will
complete the 20 foot stump below.
Shaft has been in trachyte the en-
tire distance from the 500 level. A
crosscut to the south will soon be
started al the $50 foot level.
Cash Boy
The Cash Boy was the subject
this week of vague street rumors re-
garding a strike. According to Sec
retary Mead all there is to it at
present is the fact hat at a depth OF
1850 feet the shaft has come into
West End rhyolite, which shows
quartz stringers. Good values ma
be encountered any day but they
are not in evidence at this writing.
The Cash Boy company has levled
an assessment of one-half cent per
share which becomes delinquent on
March 17.-Tonopan Miner.
