TONOPAH MINES SPLENDIDlY MAINTAIN ssasle.
EXCELLENT PRODUCTION OF WHITE METAL

pah Mining 1850 tons. the Tonopah
Extension 1850 tons, the West End
921 tons, the Jim Butler 100 tons,
and miscellaneous leasers 1913 tons,
making the total production for the
week $3.50 tons, the estimated value
being $19S,454 tons. This Va
calculated on the gross milling value
of the ore.
Belmont
The last cleanup of the mills of the
Tonopah Belmont company resulted
in the shipment of 100 bars of bull
lion of the value of $129,000. OF
this shipment IS bars, weighing 1877
326 ounces and valued at $4,000,
were shipped from the company's To-
nopah plant, and resulted from the
first cleanup for this month. The
remaining 80 bars, weighing 55,7OS
ounces and valued at $4,000, were
shipped from the company's plant at
Millers, and represent the result of
the cleanup at this mill for the last
half of September.
The report of mining operations at
the Belmont mine for the past week
shows that a somewhat less amount
of development work was accomp-
lished than is usually done. This
was occasioned by the extraordinary
amount of timbering that became
necessary during the week causing a
falling off in development operations.
Tl,o haory orfhnrok which was
felt in Tonopah on the night of Oct.
2 gave considerable alarm to the
arrangements of all the large Tono-
pah mines in which big Slopes ex-
list. The management Of the Bel
mont, which has some of the largest
underground excavations in the
camp, naturally shared in this feel
ing. A careful examination of the
mine after the earthquake developed
the gratifying condition that no cav
ing or other damage of any character
had occurred. The tremor was dis
tinctly felt in the mine and the min
ers we're considerably alarmed, but
the shock caused no other effect thar
possibly to solidify and make still
safer some of the ground that was
known to be less solid. This is fire.
quently the effect of earthquakes on
we'll supported stones and other
large excavations such as exist in
the Belmont workings.
TOnOpah Extension
The mill report from the Tono-
pah Extension Mining company shows
that on October 5 a bullion shipment
was made of "A bars, weighing 66lo
pounds valued at $4,000. In ad-
dition to this a shipment was made OF
a carload of concentrates amounting
to about 20 tons, and of the estimat-
ed value of $500 per ton, or $4,000,
thus, with the bullion above referred
to, making a total shipment OF $685.
900, and more than sustaining the
company's regular record of produc-
ton for the time represented.
The company has just issued its
report of net profits for August.
Owing to certain extraordinary local
conditions of a temporary nature,
the issuance of this report has been
somewhat delayed, but the stockhold-
ers will be pleased to know that the
August profits reached the figure of
$4,000.
The report of mining operations
in the Extension property for the
past week shows that perhaps the
most interesting development oc-
occurred in the workings on the 1850
level, in which recently the fault
level, in which recently tn fault
had been encountered that some
months ago was cut on the 1850
level, the vein was picked up be-
yond the fault, and now a full face
of good ore is exposed, with mining
operations at this point in regular
progress. An additional discovery Of
very considerable importance was
made in this drift. in which the
management has been following what
appeared to be the hanging wall OF
the vein. Recent operations In
cutting out for slopes near the end
of this drift demonstrated hat the
had been following a false
hanging wall, which, being penetrat-
ed. disclosed about eight feet of new
ore. This. added to that which had
been followed. makes a splendid ore
body over 20 feet in width. and all
CARRYING excellent mill values. 1t
requires no comment to demonstrate
that this is a very important develop
ment.
TOnOpah Mining
The report of mill production OF
the Tononah Mining company for
the week ending Oct. 2 shows thai
