the camp for investment purposes Is
being shown in the work in prog
ress on the 1910 level of the Victor
property, which was acquired a snort
time ago by the Extension company.
Very favorable progress is Delns
made in prosecuting through the
vein recently encountered on thls
level in the Victor property, where d
large body of low grade quartz was
cut, yielding excellent assays In plac-
es. 1t has not been possible thus
far to carry this work to the DIN
wnere drifting on the vein may De
betun. But the management an
nounces that a drift to the west on
the vein will be started very soon
Meantime a drift, 1901 west, a
been commenced on this level south
of the shaft, off 1901 crosscut, ana
will be used for a stump. Crosscut
1903 was advanced the usual dis
lance and is still in low grade quartz
and the foot wall has not yet oeen
reached. -.
In view of the great depth OF thls
discovery and the exceedingly at
tractive character of the vein en-
countered, all intelligent observers
of Tonopah developments are folioW-
ing these operations with the keen
est vigilance.
Another interesting development
is reported on the 1860 level OF the
Extension, where the northwest DRIFT,
off 4O1 east drift, has made very
satisfactory progress and now shows
a full face of good grade ore. The
condition in sol west drift on the
hanging wall side of the vein is also
very gratifying, an advance OF "a
feet having been made during the
week in this drift, which now shows
a full face Of good mill ore.
Tonopah Mining Co.
The net profits for the Tonopah
Mining company for the month OF
August, amounting to $57,22O, are
somewhat below the average OF pre-
yious months. This is due to a
combination of somewhat unusual
circumstances. 1t happened that
during the month a great deal Oh

which naturally reduced the average
to come extent. Moreover, the on
t~inuously depressed price OF SILVER
is an important factor in all calc"'a
t;ons. This is quite wildly brough-
to the attention when one rel'ec.s

In reference to the mining opera
lions in the various workings OF the
comnany's property, the manage
ment reports that approximately the
same amount of development WORK
in footage was accomplished during
the past week as was reported ias'
week. While there were no deVel-
onments of a dramatic character, the
usual progress was made potn III

Belmont
The report of mine conditions al
the Belmont this week 10Y tna'
very satisfactory progress is pelns
made in all workings in the mine
both in development operations ana
in work on ore bodies. Several graf
ifving developments OF very gooa
ore are reported, and while the VEINS
in which these discoveries were maze
are not large, the values are CONSUL
erably higher than usual.
Northeast crosscut S31 on the sou
level cut a small vein of high grace
ore. and conditions at this point are
most attractive.
Over two feet of ore much above
the average has been developed IN
the back of raise sc on the Rhyollte
vein on the 100 level, and condi
tons here are very encouraging, both
in respect to values n n pros
meet of the ore body enlarging.
East drift 956 on the Rhyolite
vein on the 900 level shows two n
a half feet of good ore and east
drift 955 on this level in the same
vein shows over IS inches OF ore OF
very fair grade.
