Ing OI leNelS III the NlCtOT, mas new
ertheless p%ersevered until success is
almost within grasp. The manage
ment will be entitled to the warm
est congratulations when it has shot
the last round and holed through on
these workings.
The report shows that about the
usual amount of development and
mining operations was made, with all
the workings continuing uninter-
ruptedly their splendid s%howings. The
record of footages as given in the re-
ports, while somewhat less than
those of last week. shows hat at the
No. 2 shaft of the Extension 15S
feet of work was accomplished. and
at the Victor shaft So feet, for a total
of 243 feet.
In No. | shaft. on the 400-foot
level. the company is still stopping on
the old pillars, which work is pro-
ceeding in the usual satisfactory
manner This also applies to the
500-foot level, where the usual prog
ress in stopping the old pillars was
llhcWi SC ulduC.
In No. 2 shaft, on the 750-foot
level, raise 700 advanced the usual
distance on a full face of milling ore,
the grade of which is of satisfactory
value, with every encouragement OF
improvement as the work is ex-
tended.
TOnOpah Belmont
uho ,n,Dr ~ th> To,DDoh Da1-
mont Development company as to
mining and development for the
week relates the usual highly salts
factory progress. with decided i'm
provement at various points in the
mine, both as to increased values
and development. The steady pro-
duction from the regular workings
of the company, with improved in
dications in exploratory work, with
the recent advance in silver being
maintained, will continue, no doubt.
to give every encouragement to those
interested.
With a further increase in silver
which is so confidently predicted by
the very best authorities on the sub
ject, the increased profits resulting
to the Belmont and all other proper
ties will, it is confidently expected,
result in increased disbursement in
the way of dividends. This is de-
cidedly reflected in the material ad-
vance and activity of Belmont and
other stocks Ia the past few days.
In the report of the TOnopah Bel
mont company for the week, the
conditions on the 700-foot level are
practically unchanged. However,
the work going on gives all en-
enlargement. AS suggested last week
the vein which had faulted in the
Occidental vein has been picked up
and is now showing a narrow
streak of ore carrying values of sut-
ficient grade to give every encour-
agement.
West End Cons.
AS usual, the West End CONSOLE
dated Mining company's report fer
the past week is one Of uninterrupt-
ed progress, both in the way of de-
velopment of ore bodies and pro-
ductiOn from those already proven.
Week in and week out, the company
continues to enhance it's record OF
being one of the steady producers
of the Tonopah district. Develop
ment was continued at all points in
the mine, and the record of pro-
ductiOn for the week shows that
705 tons were sen to the mill, a
very gratifying and substantial IN
crease over last week.
On the 40O-foOt level stopping was
continued in 1872 StOpe, and the
usual amount of work was accomp-
lished. The only change in condi-
tions in this stope is of a favorable
nature, the vein having widened
until now it has a width of eight to
nine feet, while at the same time
the values of the ore extracted have
~perceptibly increased. The manage
ment contemplates starting a new
stope from 425 drift on this level.
The work may not be commenced
for a few days, as the plans for the
prosecution of such work have not
yet been completed, but as soon as
the mode of procedure has been de-
termined upon operations will be-
gin at once.
Jim Butler Mine
At the Jim Butler Mining COIN
rany's property. the same excellent
standard of production and develop
ment as has been noted in the re-
ports for many months preceding
has been well sustained. The ex-
traction has continued without abate-
ment or interruption and the ore
teams are kept busy hauling the
production from the Wandering Boy
TERRITORY for SHIPMENT to the mill,
while the ore bins at the Desert
Queen are kept up to capacity.
