The Tonopah Mining company
during the latter part of last week
shipped by express from its milling
plant at Millers AZ bars of bullion
having a gross valuation of s5G.-
600. This is quite a substantial III
crease in the size of the shipment
over the prior shipment reported
on Feb. II, which amounted to only
$4,000 an. is undoubtedly indi-
cative of a return to normal condi-
] tions usually prevailing at the mill,
where for several weeks the aver
age tonnage treated was greatly oe-
low the standard.
No reports have been received
lately concerning the operations OF
the company in it's outside proper
ties. 1t is stated, however, that Sup
e%rintendent Blackburn, along with
the rest of the party which left in
January to inspect the Eden mine
in Nicaragua, arrived in New Or
leans last Saturday and will prob
ably be back in Tonoph by the end
of the week, and it may be posi-
bic that encouraging information
viii be given out concerning the
ccmpany's operations in hat conn-
try.
There was somewhat less than the
usual amount of development work
performed at the main property
in Tonopah during the week, The
