The Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company reports that during
the month of September, the net
profits of the company amounted to
Q 3.O36.25. An analysis of the fig
ures shown above, in comparison
with those for the previous months
discloses an interesting condition.
This lies in the fact hat out of all
appreviably smaller tonnage of ore
treated at the mill. the gold con-
tents of the bullion were somewhat
greater than those mentioned as
the result of the August operations.
and the figures with respect to the
silver output show a slight diminu-
ton in weight as compared with
the August figures.
The report for August showed that
12,364 ounces had been put through
the mill. resulting in the produc-
ton of 2,232,369 ounces of gold
and 1~99,445.O2 ounces of silver,
the net profit for that month
amounting to ~$92,636.O7.
These figures signify that the ore
III the Belmont mine has under
gene some change. so far as the
proportionate amounts of gold and
silver extracted from it are con-
cerned. AS is we'll known the gen.
eral run of Tonopah ores is on a
ratio Of about one-third of the value
in old and the balance in silver,
ard while the ore milled during
September at the eBlmont mill
maintains generally the same pro-
portion, yet the fact that there has
been shown an increase in gold aN-
traction from a lesser number of
tons tina were milled during the
preceding month is indicative OF
quite a substantial change in the
character of the ore.
General Manager Bradshaw re-
turned last Saturday from a trip of
inspection to the Surf Inlet mine, on
Princess Royal Island, off the coast
of British Columbia. He stated
that everything is going along fair
" we'll both in the matter of con
struction work on the surface plant
and equipment and development
work in the mine.
The dam was finished on October
3rd, and an uninterrupted water
passage is now available. While
the construction work on the mill
and transportation lines has been
retarded somewhat by the omar
rival Of machinery, it is expected
that this will have been overcome
in a short time.
Work at the Tonopah East Union
property, recently acquired by the
Belmont company, is still under
way, and satisfactory progress has
been made with the ore drilling rig
which is now running. Another
drilling outfit is in transit II
should be received shortly, when
operations will be started at an
other section of the company's es-
tare. probably at the End End pro-
perty.
TOnOpah Extension
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company shipped to the Selby
shelters this morning a lot of bull
lion weighing in the aggregate 90
900 ounces. At the present quota
ticns. this bullion is valued at ap~
p~roximately s75,36O.
The final chapter in the deal he
tween the Tonopah Extension Min
ire company and the Tonopah Sully
Mining company was closed the lat
ter part of last week, when the
purchase price of the Sully group
OF claims, in which Walter c. Lamb
was the principal owner. was paid
to the Tonopah Sully Mining COM
pany.
Through this purchase, the Tono-
pah Extension adds about 80 acres
of promising territory to its pre-
sent large estate, which before this
late purchase consisted of about
$50 acres. The Tonopah Extension
property now forms a solid right
angle, having as it's perpendicular
about 5000 feet of ground with an
average width of two full claim
length while it's base is nearly 5000
feet long. In other words, the FIX
tension, from the southern tip of
the Red Rock claim extends in a
