TOnOpah-BelmOnt
Early this week, the final stage
of the negotiations between the To-
nopah Belmont Development COM
pany and the Tonopah Panama Pa
cific Mining company was reached,
and the transfer of control of the
latter company was effected.
The deal calls for the taking over
of 81 per zen of the capital stock
of the Panama Pacific corporation,
which was controlled by the Nc
Carthy brothers and their associates
and forms another link in the chain
of groups which have lately been
acquired by the Tonopah Belmont
company, the last previous groups
acquired having been the Tonopah
East End Development company's
ground.
Interest has been aroused among
progress that is being made in the
drilling operations which are being
carried on by the Belmont COM
pany in the East Union ground.
Within a short period of tine, it
is expected that a second drill will
be received and put into operation
on the Tonopah East End property
to explore this ground at great
depth.
All the ground recently taken up
by the Belmont company lies on
the eastern trend of the Tonopah ore
zone, and success in finding other
o~rebodies at this extreme section of
the camp will be a big factor in ex-
tending the field of operations in
the Tonopah district, which Is con-
stantly being enlarged. From the
east to the west, a plane five miles
in length and nearly a mile wide,
operations are being conducted and
it is of course needless to say that
the actual finding of new orebodies
or the extension of already proven
veins will be of immense import
ance, and will be the greatest pos
sible inducement for the proper
opening up of claims lying on the
respective extremities of the present
proven area.
General Manager Bradshaw is ex-
pected to return this morning from
the Surf Inlet mine, where he lately
spent several weeks in inspecting
the progress of developments.
All the news respecting the out
side properties Of the company is of
the same generally satisfactory
character that has prevailed in re-
cent weeks. While no detailed re-
ports have been received, it is I'M
derstood that everything is pro-
crossing favorably at the Surf In
let mine, as we'll as at the Emma
gold mine in Dolores county. Colo.
The operations at the mine pro-
perty of the company in Tonopah
also show a gratifying condition,
the status of the mine with respect
to development work as we'll as that
of production having been sustained
during the past week.
North Star Mine
Under the able direction of SUI
~perintendent A. e. Lowe, the North
Star mine is rapidly coming to the
front as one of Tonopah's steady
AVID consistent producers. While the
rather severe weather Of the past
couple of weeks interfered to some
extent with shipments, development
work was pushed ahead vigorously
on the recent discoveries Of good
milling ore. The drift on the 900
foot intermediate level is making
good progress through the faulted
section, and the management ex-
presses entire confidence hat with
in a few rounds the fault will have
been passed and the ore shoot pick
&c up again. In the east side along
the same shoot, the stope is being
carried up from the cross-cut, on a
width of good milling ore that
measures about 2k feet across.
The work on the 950-foot level
consists of the driving of the cross
cut through a big body of quartz,
which, while the values returned at
the present from the material broken
down are somewhat low, encourages
the management in it's efforts to
thoroughly prospect this block of
ground.
West End Consolidated
The report of operations at the
West End Consolidated shows that
in the West End territory proper
30O-A stope and 1913 stope, SIS
stope, 500 stope and the develop
ment work in 448 raise furnished
the usual tonnages from these var
icus sections of the mine. The val
ues of the ore remain about the
same as those previously reported.
Raise 44S. which is being put up
on the vein. is making good headwav
and the ore broken down in the
operations, as stated, is being added
