TONOPAK MINING OPERATIONS GROW
IN INTEREST WITH SILVfR'S RISE

expected 10 arrive BACK In TOnOpan
the beginning of next week. Upon
his arrival operations will be re-
sumed at once, and commencing
with our next issue weekly reports
of these operations will regularly
appear.
The report of the Mizpah Extern
sion for the past week makes no ret
erence to any particular change in
mine conditions from last week.
At the Tonopah Midway C%onsoli-
dated Mining company's property,
sinking continued on the winze from
the 1880 level in the new workings,
and is now down approximately 40
feet. At this point the indications
are that the vein is taking a sleeper
dip, and operations will be contin-
ued as rapidly as possible to deter
mine the formation in this Wine.
The Buckeye mine is pushing the
work on an upraise from the 1900
foot level to intercept the vein upon
it's dip that was opened up on the
90O-foot level. Various assays TAX
en- from the vein have been widely
different in results and the indica-
tions point to the possibility of bet
ter values and a large body of ore
between the two levels.
A very interesting find of great
prospective value was made this
week in the 1850 northwest inter
mediate drift on the Cash Boy prop
erty. According to Manager f. II.
Mead. there had been disclosed a
vein four 10 four and a half feet
wide, and assays taken show one
and a half feet that goes about $50
to the ton and three feet will assay
an average of 1890. The com
pany is extending this drift to the
northwest with all confidence that
the encouraging conditions will be
maintained.
North Star Mine
The outlook in the North Stan
property continues to be favorably
regarded by the management of the
company, and development work
has proceeded with the usual vigor.
Production has been maintained up
to the standard. and the indications
at present with respect to condi-
lions at the mine are considered
very satisfactory.
The report for the week shows
that Stopping above the 9OO-foot leevl
is still in progress. The vein, how
nVnr &c i'm 1nuvn urI -
and while indications are that the
work is approaching the caprock
overhead, there is still considerable
tonnage available for extraction be-
fore this point is reached.
The ~develOment work on the in
foot level has been continued. and
a drift was run into the ore for
about 40 feet. The progress made
is noteworthy and the showing that
has developed highly gratifying. The
average width of the vein for the
distance mentioned is about two
feet and the ore is of a good milling
character and grade.
That the management of the
Rescue-Eula is fully alive to the
possibilities of the eastern portion of
the TOnOpah district is evidenced by
the announcement of the manage
ment that it is expected that ar
engagements will be made shortly TO
sink an additional $50 feet. With
the greater depth acquired in the
company's workings. it will be en-
abled to develop the property to
much better advantage, and possess
ing as it does an electrical equip
ment sufficiently capable to handle
the Increased development, the rios
poets are most encouraging that the
Rescue-Eula will yet prove itself one
of the big producers of the district.
The report of Manager Branch
Smith of operations at the Monarch
Pittsburgh for this week is of the
most encouraging nature. The
intermediate crosscut between the
$50 and 100O-foot levels, which was
started for the purpose of cutting
the big ledge that was encountered
on the S50-foot level, has been ad-
vanced very rapidly. and to such
good purpose that the last round of
shots has disclosed the gratifying in
dication that the hanging-wall of the
vein is very close to the face of the
cross-cut.-TOnopah Miner.
