the mill 297S tons, the Tonopah
Mining 1000 tons, the Tonopah Ex-
tension 1900 tons, the Jim Butler
$50 tons, the West End 70S tons,
the Rescue 210 tons, the Halifax
1853 tons, the North Star 43 tons,
and miscellaneous % tons, making
the total production for the week
9O75 tons, the estimated value be
ing $1SS,610. This valuation is
calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
As a direct result o. the discov-
cries made in the Tonopah Exte1-
sion property, the whole western
section of the camp has become the
scene of increased activity. The
opening up of properties adjacent
to and within a short distance of
the Extension is going ahead along
systemati: Ines, all the operators IN
the western end of Tonopah realiz-
ing the ..ecessity getting the +
working: ~ enough to prs:rie
the possihii'y - working blintly

case befo.3 The ~x.Cnsion dem u. .
strated the existence of the ore at
depth. -..
The mill has been working along
at increased capacity for several
weeks, and no hitch is reported i'll
the reduction operations. A clean
up was made during the early part
80 All. xraaly rae,,lfsp~ IN Tho chin
ment of 80 bars of bullion. This
shipment weighed 1902 pounds, or
over 3 " IONS avoirdupois, and the
estimated valuation placed upon it
by the company is $56,SO0.
The development work, which Is
still confined to the No. 2 shaft
workings by reason OF the continual
ton of repair work at the Victor
shaft and workings, amounted to
IT'S feet, indicating good progress
in this section Of the mine. This
is quite an increase over the foot
age reported last week, when the
report showed that 141 feet
of development work had been per-
formed.
Barring the item concerning the
discovery of the new vein in the
crosscut on the 1260-foot level, the
report of mining operations is prac-
tically identical with those preced-
ing it. Everywhere in the nine
where production is being carried
on, substantially the same showings
are reported, while prospecting work
was carried on at the usual good
rate of progress.
On the 85O-foot level, work is
still limited to strong operations.
On this and the lower levels, where
extraction has been continued for
a long period, there is no appre-
cable difference in the size and ex-
ten of he veins, as Is manifested
by the succeeding reports showing
the conditions to be well sustained
from week to week. No. S12 stope
on this level produced the regular
tonnages from it's 3-foot width OF
milling grade ore
TOnOpah-B Belmont
The cleanup at the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company's mill
for the first half of June resulted in
the shipment of 3S8 bars of bullion,
weighing 77,615 ounces. This ship
ment has an estimated valuation OF
$4,000. Though it has been the
regular custom to include the bull
lion shipped from the plant at Mil
lers at the same time report is
made of the forwarding of the
bullion from the Tonopah mill,
these figures are not yet available.
The local property is sustaining
it's brilliant record both in the way
of production and in the extension
OF development work. On every
level from the 70O-foot down TO
the 1166-foot depth, the prospect
ing laterals are being pushed for
ward in the most vigorous manner,
while from those workings that
are going out on ore the most en-
%couraging reports ere given out, in
dicating that there is no variation
from the favorable conditions which
have been apparent for many
months.
On the 7O0-foct level, the drifts
are making good progress on excel
lent showings, while the prospect
ing work is being advanced in the
customary with every pros
pect for success. East drift 70G,
which, since being started, has been
reported as making good progress
on III feet of good ore, was car
ried forward at the usual rate of
speed on practically the anne show
ings in the fact. West drift 707,
which is going out in an opposite
direction from east drift 706, on the
same branch of the Rhyolite vein,
