The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-07-29

The Tonopah Belmont sent to the
mill 1865 tons during the week,
the Tonopah Mining $500 tons, the
Tonopah Extension 22OO tons, the
Jim Butler 1900 tons, the West End
S45 tons, the Rescue 156 tons, the
Halifax 220 tons, and the North
Star So tons. making the total pro-
duction for the week 1879 tons,
the estimated value being $20S,5S2.
The valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value of the ore.
One of the principal features of
the report of the operations at the
local property of the Tonopah Min
ing is the fact that the
management has decided to transfer
the big gallows frame that is
doing duty at the Red Plume shaft
over to the Sand Grass workings,
indicating that operations In the
latter section of tho mine will be
on a scale more extensive than has
been the case heretofore.
The Red Plume gallows frame.
which is 20 feet in height and
much heavier than the present
equipment at the Sand Grass, will
give increased facilities there and
allow the shaft to be sunk deeper
if the developments in the Sand
Grass warrant such steps. 1t is not
definitely stated that the shifting
OF the equipment presages such
plans, yet It is not reasonable to
suppose that this measure would
have been taken unless some move
ment along this line was intend
ed. The equipment at the Sand
Grass claim will be transferred to
the Red Plume, where operations
have been virtually suspended eX-
cept in one working.
The meagre reports concerning
the company's operations at Brock
enridge, where it has three dredgars
working in the placer fields, have
been supplemented this week by Il
report to the effect that during the
first seven days of this month, gold
bricks worth in the neighborhood of
100000 were shipped by the Tono-
pah Placers company to the Denver
mint. AS stated by Mr.. Spur while
in Tonopah recently. there are three
cleanups per month at the placer
grounds.
TOnopah-BelmOnt
On Friday of this week, the To-
nopah milling plant of the Tono-
pah Belmont Development company
shipped to the smelters 40 bars of
bullion, which had a total weight
of $500 ounces and an estimated
valuation of $76,416. This resulted
from the cleanup for the first half
of June. The figures for the usual
bi-weekly shipment from the Mil
lors plant r not yet available, but
these will no doubt be reported so
as to be included in the text week
ly report of the company.
The best evidences of the prosper
Gus condition of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company are
furnished by the reports of the BIZ
weekly shipments of the products
of the mine and mill and the month
ly reports of net earnings derived
frcm such operations. A recapitn-
lation of the reports for the first
six months of 1916 will show fOr
its elf the splendid results attending
the actual production operations.
During this period there has
been extracted from the mine and
put through the mill a total of 49,
SIG tons of ore, which produced
15,344 ounces of gold and 1,448,-
906 ounces of silver. The net pro-
fits as reported by the company
are set forth opposite the respec-
tive months in the following table:
