The Tonopah Belmont Develop
mcnt company reports that during
the month of October, 1916, its
earning amounted to S90,S72.2 20.
The figures in detail, such as are
usually printed in the Miner, are
lo available as we go to press, but
undoubtedly these will be furnished
for our succeeding number.
All satisfactory is the report
made by the Belmont company con
Cerning it's operations outside of Ne
main property in Tonopah. The
drilling operations on the local prop
critics lying to the east of the Bel
mont mine are progressing at the
same satisfactory rate of speed as
has been reported since this work
was started.
There has been no change in COZ
d;tions, however. as yet. Should
the drilling operations prove sue
cessful in locating orebodies in this
part of the district. the entire
eastern section of the camp viii

Tcnopah vii begin.
Development work all the Surf
Inlet mine and the emma gold mine
two other properties on the outside
controlled by the Belmont company,
is likewise making very favorable
progress, but there is nothing new
to add to the reports already is
sued regarding these mines.
AT the main local property of the
company the usual gratifying record
Of progress is noted, according TO
the weekly report. In regard to both
development work and production
operations show the same results
which have characterized the sue
cessive reports for over a year,
when, after the price of silver had
shown such a decline, it started -
rise. and. coincidently the condi-
tions at the Belmont mine improved
to such a wonderful degree hat the
property with the intensive mining
operations which We're planned and
carried forward, is now looking al
most as wellas in the days when
~hish-grade ore was the rule and not
the exception.
In most every case where develop
ment work has been extended, bet
ter and wider showings of ore have
been developed, and at numerous
places in the mine the stope WORK.

TOnopah Extension
DR.. M. R. Ward, president of the
Tonopah Extension Mining com
pany, arrived in Tonopah last Sat
urday for the purpose of making
one of his frequent inspection Wis
it's. In an interview with the rep
resentative of the Miner, he stated
that all conditions at the mine and
mill were as satisfactory as could be
hoped for. He expressed himself
as being particularly well pleased
with tho progress made in sinking
the Victor shaft which has now
reached a point between 100 and
station level.
This means hat only a little I'VE
lCO feet of work remains to be done
before the Victor shaft reaches its
intended bottom level, which, when
attained will make the Victor shaft
1900 feet deep, not including the
extra depth which will be required
for stump purposes. When the Vic
tor shaft has finally been completed
the Extension company will have the
deepest working shaft in the south
ern part of Nevada. In this respect
it is not definitely known whether
the bottom of the Victor shaft Gas
contemplated. or 1900 feet) vii
have a lower elevation than the To
nopah Bonanza shaft, which is sit,
uated about two miles due west o.
the Victor shaft, but which, being
located at a point lower down OF
the grade towards the flat on the
west, is on a considerably lower
horizon than the Victor shaft. TIL
