OUTPUT OF TONOPAH MINES $40:
REVIEW OF PAST WEEKS DEVELOPMENT

is a payshcot somewhere which will
be opened up in time. Superintend-
ent Branch Smith is watching devel-
opments closely and his efforts will
doubtless meet with deserved success.
North Star
The w.nZe from the bottom Of the
stope below the 1850 level of the
North Star has connected with the
intermediate level from the old in
cline, and cutting put to sink below
this intermediate level is now under
way. If this development proves sat
isfactory a second intermediate level
from the incline will be driven out
to connect with the Wine. There is
practically no change in the width
and values of the vein in the inter
mediate which is going ahead.
Development in progress on the
$50, $50 and 1850 levels is going
ahead nicely. but no change Of for
nation has occurred for some time.
One lot of good ore was shipped
during the week and was treated
at tha West End mill.
Jill IDutIcr
The most important development
at the Jim Butler property during
the week occurred on the 700 level of
the Wandering Boy, where a decid-
ed improvement has taken place in
the width and values of the ore in
the raise off No. 6 stope. The raise
has been following from 2R to 3
fest of good grade ore, but during
the week it nearly doubled in width,
while the values at the same time In
crease very materially. There is
now from four to five feet of very
good ore showing in the raise. Two
other raises on this level have been
showing from two and a half to
four feet of a fair grade of ore.
The Midway
The leasers in the workings from
the old shaft of the Midway are
working away steadily and most of
them are getting out more or less
ore. One shipment went out Thurs
day and another lot of so tons is
nearly ready.
The returns have been received
from the first lot of so tons that
wen. to the mill and it Melted $1054
better than $40 rer tOn-after
deducting all charges for transpor-
tation and milling.
A Ballet counterbalance will be
installed by the company at the new
shaft and it will be hooked up for
a depth of 400 feet. The new COM
pressor has not yet arrived, but it is
expected daily.
Rescue-Eula
Conditions in the south crosscut on
the $50 level of the Rescue-Eula are
exceedingly encouraging at this time,
and an important development is
looked for in a short time from this
work. Two shifts are being employ
ed to push it ahead rapidly and
drifting on the small vein recently
encountered has been temporarily
discontinued in order that better
Roadway may be made in the cross
cut.
The north crosscut was advanced
the usual distance, but no change in
the trachyte formation was noted.
TOnopah Merger
At the Tonopah Merger this week
Stopping is in progress on three OF
the levels - the $50, the 1870 and
the ITO. The width of the ore
bodies and the values are about the
same as they have been for some
weeks and the production is being
steadily augmented as transportation
and milling facilities are secured.
The production for the past week
was 331 tons, which was treated in
the West End mill.
West End
The report from the West End
this week shows little change from
the ordinary and satisfactory condi-
tiOns in the mine. A new piece of
work that gives considerable prom
Use has been started on the 400 level
in the shape of a rails o the vein.
The values so far encountered are
very encouraging. Another piece of
work that gives much encourage
ment is on the fifth level in drift
537-J. The values at present are
spotted, but it is believed they will
become more certain and persistent
with further development.
The slopes on the 50O-foot level
are maintaining a good output of the
usual good to high grade ore.-To-
