TONOPAH EXTENSION HAS GREAT SHOWING:
BELMONT HAS SEVERAL hIGH-GRADE FACES

in sight or in prospect to encourage
the belief that the owners will make
q stake, and some of them have al
ready made good profits.
During the past week three lots of
ore, aggregating 80 tons. were sent
to the mill and the net returns were
about $4,000, or better than $22 per
ton after ~deducting all treatment
charges. other shipments will follow
regularly from this time on.
After an intermedinable delay the
new compressor has finally arrived
and is being installed at the new
shaft where development is going
forward on company account. 1t will
take nearly another week to get ev-
erything in good shape, when the
sinking of the shaft to the 400 lev
ell will go forward as rapidly as pos
sible.
Buckeye Belmont
The east drift on the 1900 level
Of the Buckeye mine shows some
srlphides that increase the expecta-
lions in this direction. The 4-foot
vein that was passed through last
week showed a hanging wall gouge
that carried low values itself. This
vein seems to be worthy Of a little
exploitation and the management
will drift s~outheasterly on it and 81
multaneously start an upraise, al
though the vein lays very flat at the
point where it was encountered.
Monarch Pittsburgh
New developments have been
started at the Monarch Pittsburgh
in the shape of turning both the east
and west drifts into north crosscuts.
These crosscuts will be driven across
the big vein, which Is 100 feet thick,
toward the hanging wall and as they
are 240 feet apart, 100 feet east and
12O feet west Of the original south
crosscut, they will serve to prospect
qite a, bit of territory. The hope
end belief that they will develop a
good shoot of ore in one of these
crosscuts is strong with those who
are watching developments.
Cash Boy
The new hoist for the Cash Boy Is
expected to arrive in camp next week
and when it is installed there should
be no more shutdowns from break
ages. In the meantime work is go
ing ahead. The raise from which
the shipment was taken has reached
the 1900 level, is being continued up
wards. and shows some ore. The No.
/ c~rosscut on the 1850 level is out
1856 feet and the No. 2 crosscut is
cut 80 feet. The west drift is out
1862 feet. None of the last three
pieces of work show any change.
BY order of the board of directors
the sale day of delinquent Cash Boy
stock has been postponed to June
21, 1915.
Umatilla TOnOpah
Preparations for diamond drill
operations at the Umatilla have not
yet been completed but it is expect
ed that they will be before many
days and the prospecting of the
ground below the 1900 level will be-
gin. This will be of benefit not on
ly to the Umatilla company, but to
the Montana Tonopah and Tonopah
Extension companies and all three
will share in the cost.
An assessment of 1 CEN a share
on Umatilla stock was levied June
q, and it will become delinquent
July 4.
Mizpah Extension
Drifting is still in progress on the
vein recently cut On the 1856 level
of the Mizpah Extension and 1t is
maintaining it's average width of 81
inches and values of from SIG to $40
per ton. The crosscut on this level,
as well as the two crosscuts on the
1000 level, were advanced h u.s.
ual distance without any change no.

TOnOpah Merger
On Thursday morning operations
at the Tonopah Merger shaft were
discontinued and the mine will in
future be operated from the Tonopah
Extension and Tonopah Victor shafts.
This action was taken in consequence
of the ratification by the stockhOld-
ers of the Merger company on the
previous day of the deal with the
Extension company, whereby the lat
ter company absorbs the former by
assuming the Indebtedness and gives
one share of Extension stock for
each seven shares of Merger stock.
TOnOpah Victor
The time when something besides
water will be coming out of the
Victor shaft is almost in sight. 1t
will not be long now before the
drift at the 1910 level is freed from
water and the work of developing
the vein which was being entered
when the workings were flooded,
will actively begin. The water is
