pah Mining $3.50 tons, the Tonopah
Extension 1850 tons, the West End
612 tons, the Jim Butler 1850 tons.
the North Star SO tons and miscel-
laneous leasers $50 tons. making the
total production for the week TO-
O93 tons, the estimated value being
2O7,634. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling values 81
the ore.
The Tonopah Extesion reports that
net profits from it's operations Tor
October are slightly in excess OF the
SIM of $4,000. The gradual in
crease in the earnings of the Exte1-
sion company is highly gratifying
testimony of the constantly increas-
ing value of the ore in the large
Slopes to which reference has re-
peatedly been made in recent re-
ports.
The record of extraordinary pro-
duction from the enormous slopes
of the Extension property on all the
levels from the $50 down to and in
Guiding the 1850 level shows no faii-
ing off in any respect, the aver
age of the faces of ore on winch
Stopping is in progress being mann
tanned and the average of the grade
of ore keeping up with persistencs.
In addition to this gratifying COLI
dition there we're several new de-
yelopments of much more than pass
ing importance in other sections OF
the mine.
This is notably true in the Victor
territory in which the work IN the
west drift that is being advanced
along the hanging wall OF the con-
tact vein has developed a very at
tractive showing of ore. This drl't
is now following a face OF ore three
feet in width, carrying values CT
very good grade. At the present
rate of progress it will take only a
short time for this WORK to make
connection with similar workings IN
the Cash Boy property, the latter
having been engaged on this Level
along the hanging wall OF the same
contact. No plans have as yet Deeh
announced by the Extension manage
ment with reference to further op'
erations in this locality after tue
connection is made with the Cash
Bov. but it is to be expected that
work of most ~far-reaching import
ance will soon be inaugurated hers,
fraught with great significance not
only to the Extension company, pu'
also the entire camp, which is wascn-
ing these western developments with
the keenest interest.
Moreover the cross--cut Doing
driven from the Victor shaft to-
wards the Murray vein on the lo4V
level has also made YER good prog
ress since the last report was IS
sued and unless unforeseen drill
culties should interfere, the vein
should be encountered in less than
six weeks, there being only ABOUT
135 feet Of additional distance 10
cover. This work is of the greatest
im%portance, for the reason that II -
the purpose of the management, OF
encountering the vein, to rolio" l.
with a drift to a convenient polh'
where an upraise may be driven TO
connect with the big ore shoots OIL
which the main operations OF the
mine are al present going ahead IN
the vicinity of No. 2 shaft.

~N
The report of mining and devei-
opment operations for the week JUST
passed at the property of the Tono'
nah Belmont company shows little
change as compared with the condi-
tions prevailing when the last report
was given out, stopping operations
and development work being in con-
tinuous under the same CIR
cumstances, with only slight varid-
t;ons in the width of the orebodies
IN which extraction is proceeding
and no change worth mentioning
having occurred with reference 20
the average grade of the ore pro
duct.
The record is one of persistent
nroduction and continuous Develop
ment to keep pace with the Capacity
of the mills and provide well LOT
the requirements of the future' III
which respect the local management
continues to more than satisfy the
expectations of the directors and th'
stockholders.
The report for the week
that on the 700 level, the WORK IN
irtermediate east drift off raise az
in the Mizpah fault vein was prose-
cnted regularly, very good
heing recorded. The work is no"
~nroceeding on a showing CT ore
about one and a half feet in wid'h.
