T0N0PAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

IHc 1OlOlsal HAiAAhS 1VVV IOho, wv
Tonopah Extension 1900 tons, the
Jim Butler 1900 tons, the West End
71S tons, the Rescue 149 tons, the
Halifax 21S tons, the Montana 81
tons, the Midway 40 tons, and the
North Star SO tons, making the
total production for the week 9662
tons, the estimated value being
s199,996. This valuation is ca
culated on the gross milling value
of the ore.
Mine conditions at almost every
point in the Tonopah Belmont De-
velopment company's local property
are, according to the report issued
for the past week, showing con-
tinued improvement with the ad-
vancement of the development work
which is being carried forward over
a wide area on the several leveles
from the 7OO-foot point down to Inc
1400-foot depth.
At many of the working faces,
ports, the conditions were not as en-
c%ouraging as could be hoped for,
more favorable aspects are appar-
ent; therefore, the Detterment in
physical conditions is very crafty
ing.
Marked improvement has been
shown in one of the workings on
the 7OO-foot level, which last week
had become very narrow. This is
the drift which is being run in an
easterly direction on the north
branch of the Rhyolite vein. The
vein retains all the characteristics
of it's particular system, widening
out in places only to narrow down
again. At the present time, the
developments have disclosed 2 feet
of ore, half of it being of very
good grade and the other portion
lower grade quartz. Mixed to-
gether, the whole width makes a
good milling grade of ore.
On the 1O0O-foot level, likewise,
conditions in the drift to eastward
which is being extended for the
purpose of developing the continual
ton of the Rescue-Eula vein which
extends into Belmont territory. This
vein has improved in quality to
such a marked degree that the ore
pinned from it is classed as good
grade. showing a considerable en-
hancement in the values contained
in the rock
At other points in the mine, de-

ahead in steady consistent manner,
the older workings showing much
the same physical aspects as have
been reported in previous weeks,
while some new work has been un-
dertaken on several of the levels
looking to the picking up of ore
bodies found nearby n the ON
sequent proving up of more backs.
At the outside properties of the
company, while no reports in detail
have been received lately, it is un-
derstood that a good rate of prog
ress is being maintained in the for
warding of construction and de-
velopment at the Surf Inlet hiine
on Princes Royal Island, above Van
couver, B. c., and the force of
men employed at the Bull Moose
mine in southern Nye county, Ne
vada is going right ahead in ar
rying out the plans mapped out for
extensive exploration.
TOnOpah Extension
After a period of enforced idle
ness, existing for more than 60
days, development work has been
resumed in the portion of the To-
nopah Extension Mining company's
estate known as the Victor ground.
During this entire period. there has
been a total cessation of all work
in the nature of development, the
necessity for repairing the Victor
shaft and workings, Strengthening
laterals, installing improvements
and making ready generally for The
resumption of operations on a mu.h
larger scale than formerly rendering
it impossible to project or carry on
any development OF production work
during the time mentioned.
On Tuesday a representative of
The Miner, through the courtesy of
General Manager Kirchen. was &C
corded the privilege of accompany
ing superintendent Jerome Higgins
on one of his daily inspection trips
through this portion of the mine.
The in which operations are
being extended on the deepest level
of the mine is ~praiseworthy in the
highest degree.
In all directions, exploratory and
development work is being carried
forward, and each working face is
a scene of great activity. A COM
plete description. of course, includes

! ments installed at the collar III the
