The report of operations at the To
nopah-Halifax Mining company's
property this week disclosed the in
teresting and gratifying information
that work in the winZe fro1a the
1200-foot level, which had been in
terrupted by reason of the fact that it
became necessary to install several
sets of timbers to hold the heavy,
loose ground in the vicinity of these
workings, was started again, and a,
this time has been advanced to the
extent of several rounds of shots.
The winze is now down a distance OF
about so feet, and at this depth the
hanging-wall is being followed. The
discovery that the hanging-wall has
been found to be unbroken is a very
gratifying development of this weeks
work, while the fact that the ore
found in the bottom of the winze is
fully as good as any ore yet encoun'
tered in this working presages ID
magnificent future for the property.
Tho 0ro &c cfafnI &c IF vnru Onnn
+ grade. and extraction will no doubt
give cause for considerable satisfac-
tion on the part of those interested
in the property. That this formation.
after encountering the loose ground
referee to, should be found intact
and unbroken oil the hanging-wali
side of the vein, is another evidence
of the permanency of the vein system
in the eastern part of the Tonopah
district, and undoubtedly will stiT
late the other companies operating
in that section of the district to re-
newed efforts in their properties.
The south crosscut on this level
was extended the usual distance dur
ing the week, and is still in trachyte,
with no change occurring that would
justify special mention.
In the west drift which was fol-
lowing the vein until it faulted, the
turn mentioned in last weeks report
has been made. A raise is now being
put up to find the exact vertical
throw of the fault.
Tonopah Mining Co.
The report of the TOnopah Min
ing company for this past week indi-
Gates that the usual amount of salts
factory progress in the development,
and mining operations of the com
pany has been accomplished.
A very substantial shipment OF
bullion is also reported, which wi
materially add to the profits of tn
company. The shipment referred to
consists of SO bars of bullion wifi h
has an approximate value of $4,000.
The report of mill operations OF
the Tonopah Mining company for the
week ending Nov. 27, 1915, shows
that an average of 93 stamps were
kept dropping, and that 1928 tons
of ore were put through the mill, the
ore maintaining an average of $13
per ton.
The report of mining operations
refers to the systematic and actual
development of the property. While
there are improvements noted at sew
eral points, one of the most signifi
cant is referred to as being in the
Red Plume territory on the 700
level. The fault on the vein in this
level has been passed, with the result
of opening up a full face of quartz
which gives every promise of devel
oping into ore.
The work accomplished for the
week, as reported, was 92 feet in
the Silver Top territory; IL feet in
the Mizpah region, rs feet in the Red
Plume and SO feet in the Sand Grass
ground
In the Silver Top, where as usual
the greatest amount of work was
accomplished, there is but little
change to note. Work on the low
grade quartz which was being carried
on last week in west drift 374 on
the 35O-foot level, has been tempo
rarily discontinued. Work, however
has been resumed in the face of
south crosscut 304. While this work
is in waste at the present time, the
formation is of an encouraging char
acter and prospects are considered
good.
TOnopah Extension
! While the report or the Tonopah
Extension Mining company for this
week is of it's usual interesting ma
ire, the most encouraging feature
contained in it is the probability that
the raise which will be put up from
the 154O-foot level of the Victor will
connect at an early date with the
winze which has just been started
from the 500 west drift in No. !:
