The manner in which the BIZ

truest indication of the conditions

whence reports that emenate show
a steady improvement at all points
with results that denote increased
satisfaction with the extension or
development, extraction and reduc-
ton work.
On all levels with exception CT
the 1900 splendid progress has
been made, which is limited on!1
by the fact that the company in
common with it's companions in the
mining industry. suffers by reason OF
delays in the receipt of mining
equipment.
The tremendous demand on the
metal manufacturers caused by the
demands on the part of the Euro
pean belligerents for war NUM-
tions and materials, has affected
the manufacturers of mining ma
chinery and reports from all sections
indicate great delays in filling or
ders for the mines for needed equip
ment.
TonOpah Mining
With satisfactory progress report
ed in the routine of development
work under way, this weeks report
of the Tonopah Mining company dis-
gratifying ones which have been is
sued by the company heretofore. AT
the main Tonopah property there is
no sign of any abatement, of ac'
tivity and the results attained are in
themselves monuments to the meth
DDS adopted by the company i'll
proving crebodies developed dur
ing the course of opening UP the
: property.
The south dipL:ns Vein which
extends Tor several levels in, the
Silver Top territory, is at present
about the largest producing ledge,
and it has shown a consistency IN
the matter OF strength and SIZE whlch
bids fair to maintain for MS Vein
a production record fully up to the
standard of all Tonopas lodges, with
the exception, of course, of the re"
most famous ones, such as the old
Mizpah vein from which over 80
5000 was taken by early day
~leasers LefOre the company a.
ouired the property from Jim But
Ter: the Belmont vein, which "al
discovered at a time when the out
look for all mines of Tonopah Il
side the Tonopah Mining company
seemed none too bright; ana re
present day disclosures in the Muir
raw vein in the TOnOpah Extension
property. The recent strike in the
Rescue Eula property has emphf-
sized more than ever the possiolil-
ties of the Tonopah mining district
and any prediction as to the hle
of any single property in onopa
is more apt than not to be plowi
into fragments by the never end'nt
discoveries which come in regular
} procession as new ground is bro
ken in the different sections o
Tonopah.
