The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-12-18

sent to the mill 3193 tons, the Tono-
pah Mining 1926 tons, the Tonopah
Extension 1850 tons, the West End
as tons, the Jim Butler 100 tons,
the Halifax 12S tons, the North Star
so tons, and miscellaneous leasers
PIP tons, making the total production
for the week 10,114 tons, the esti-
mated value being $20S,012. This
valuation is calculated on the gross
milling value of the ore.
Although the report of mining and
development operations of the Tono-
pah Mining company for the past
week reveals no extraordinary change
from usual satisfactory conditions
existing in it's property in Tonopab,
there is considerable intesest in the
activities of the company outside of
it's main workings in Tonopah.
1t is reported from Denver, not
officially, however, that the placer
operations being conducted by the
Tonopah Mining company in the
Breckenridge section in Colorado arc
progressing in a very satisfactory
manner, and the dredges are steadily
and rapidly absorbing the gold in a
profitable manner, resulting in the
shipment of gold bricks with pleas
ing regularity.
1t is also stated hat the COMPANY
is apparently about to broaden its
field of operations in that section,
as it is making a thorough examina.
ton of the ground near Gold Hill,
where several drills are doing pros
pect duty. While the information
which is obtainable from time to
time as to Colorado operations is
rather meager, it would not be at all
surprising to find, when the company
makes it's annual report to it's stock
holders, that the operations at the
placer diggings in the Breckenridge
section have made a highly crafty
ing showing on the right side of the
ledger.
There is no information available
concerning the operations of the
company in Nicaragua, but this will
no doubt also be included in the an
nual report of the company.
But however interesting the do
;ngs of the company in the outside
districts may be, they are complete
ly overshadowed in Importance from
a Tonopah viewpoint, by the fact
that the Tonopah Mining company Is
almost in readiness to commence
work in the old California property,
which adjoins the Jim Butler prop
erty on the south.
The Tonopah Mining company
some time ago took over the Califor-
mia property on a lease and bond,
and has lately been completing re-
pairs in the workings. The timber
ing in the shaft is rapidly nearing
completion, the drifts and workings
are being cleaned out preparatory
to extensive development, and the
machinery is being put into shape to
properly conduct the work. Within
a short time, development will be
started and pushed vigorously.
TCnOpah Extension
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company not only continues to
maintain it's fine average of prOduc-
ton of tonnage from the mine but
to Guido itself in the recovery OF
values from the mill. The shipment
of bullion and concentrates result
ing from the cleanup for the sec.
ond half of November, amounted to
the magnificent total of 1877 pounds
Of gold and silver bullion, having a
net valuation of $72,S0O, and 1925
tons of concentrates with a net val
ue of $11,7OO, making a total value
for this latest shipment from the
Extension of $S4,5O0.
These figures constitute the record
to date for shipments of bullion and
concentrates from the Extension
property, and denotes the steadily
improving conditions in the matter
of values extracted and saved from
the production of ores in the COM
pany's vast property. And the most
gratifying aspect of this wonderful
extraction is that there is seem
ingly no end to the brilliant pros
poets. There is such a vast area still
UNEMPLOYED, and such excellent indi-
cations of a downward extension Of
the orebodies, at present being work
ed, that there is ample assurance OF
a long and prosperous life for the
mine.
From all points in the operations
come increasingly splendid repor.s
of the magnitude and value of the
Orebodies thus far exposed, with
every probability that the %unexplor-
ed territory will be found, when OPP
erations are extended into that por-
ton of the property to contain 9th
er orebodies as strong and as valuA-
BILE as those on which work is now
proceeding.
