TOnOpah FIX
After months of delay caused by
the flooding of the workings at the
shaft of the Victor mine, now owned
by the Tonopah Extension company,
actual mining has been resumed in
the crosscut at the 1910 level. Ow-
ing to the fact that it has the deep

the Victor drains a big scope of

ings. but this has now been accOmp
l;shed, and actual mining resumed.
1t will be remembered that when
the mine was flooded the crosscut
was supposed to have just entered
the vein. That such was the fact is
now proven. Since work was re-
sumed the crosscut has penetrated
the vein for a distance of five feet
and on this hanging wall side of the
vein is of a good milling grade. Just
Just how wide the vein will prove to
be at this level and how good the
grade of ore will average must be
determined by future development.
On the 1850 level, from the No. 2
shaft of the Extension company,
there is a continuation of the splen-
did conditions that have prevailed for
some weeks. West drift 500 made
an advancement of 35 feet during
the week and it is still in the same
high grade ore that was reported in
the last issue of the Miner. The
drift is now being carried for only
the regular width of six feet instead
of 10 feet as it was carried for a
time the week before, but the ore
body is wider than the drift. One
of the raises at this level is still in
the good grade of. ore hat has

the other shows a small decrease in
