Tonopah Mining Company
As a result of it's operations dur
ing the month of October, the To-
nopah Mining company of Nevada
reports net earnings of $42 no,
from a production of SO55 tons of
dry ore which were treated at the
mill.
There comes by way of Denver re-
ports that some very interesting
mining work is being performed by
the Tonopah Placers company ut
its estate near Breckenridge, Colo
RADIO. 1t will probably be remem-
bered hat several month g t
was reported that one of the placer
dredgers, in working over a portion
OF the gulch cut a zinc vein which
was thought to be the extension OF
a vein which has been extensively.
worked in an adjoining property.
The Placers company is now all
gagged in prosecuting under the
gulch from what is called the Miller
shaft in an effort to locate the
downward extension of the zinc
vein. 1t is stated in the report
that should the expectations of the
company be realized and the vein
intersected at depth, it will make
a splendid producer and add immea-
surably to the profits of the com
p&ny.
At the property of the Eden Min
. ing company, another subsidiary Of
the Tonopah Mining company, 10
Gated in Nicaragua, development
work is forging ahead at the usual
excellent rate of speed. This ap-
plies as well to the construction
work that is being done on the mill
and power projects hat are in the
process of completion.

not quite up to those reported as

West End Consolidated
Exceptionally good progress has
been made by the West End Con
solidated during the last few days
in it's sinking operations at the old
Ohio shaft, located in the northwest
ern part of it's estate and about n
thousand feet almost due south
from the No. 2 shaft of the Tono
) pah Extension Mining company.
The work was commenced Fridav a
week ago, and, of course. as is us
[ ually the case in work of this ma
ture, it took a few days to get mat
: ters in full swing. This has nov
, been accomplished. and the opera
) tons will be pushed just as fast
/ as conditions will permit.
After a period of more than fout
: years during which time 1000 feet
| of development has been performed,
= the Monarch Pittsburg mine made
, its first shipment of &C tons of ore

t management an idea as to sor'-

S While prosecuting development to-

= company's estate last summer, a
: large body of Extension breccia was

g a distance of about 200 feet where
