The Tonopah Extension Mining
ccmpany's report for the past week
il, one of the usual satisfactory
progress. in fact the footages at
tanned during the week in extending
the development and exploratory
operations amounted to considerably
more than was accomplished in the
preceding week. All the workings
from the $50 to the 1540-foot levels
we're extended at greater than the
usual rate of speed and as =
consequence the footage record for
The week totaled 81. OF this
amount. POO feet Of development
work was performed in the work
irgs contagious to the No. . SHAFT
and II feet of ground was broken
in the Victor workings.
Sinking of the Victor shaft is
progressing very ~favorably, and the
bottom of the shaft is now las
feet below the 1540-foot station
level. or very nearly half of the
entire distance hat the further
sinking plans call for. Very little
water is being made as the shaft
goes deeper. consequently the work
has not beer retarded to any great
extend.
On the 95O-foot level, operations
We're confined to advancing the top
Of raise $40. A distance of 6 feet
was made during the week in this
raise, and all the ore broken down
in these operations is of very good
grade.
On the 1260-foot level, 4O1 south,
ctcss-cut was extended a distance
of % feet in promising formation,
and great confidence is expressed by
the management that within a short
distance the south Breccia vein will
be encountered. There has been
very little change noted in 404
west drift, which was advanced a
distance of II feet during the
period covered by this report. All
this distance was made in milling
grade ore. Raise 425 was put up
a further height of 10 feet, and as
il goes up On the O. K. vein is
breaking at very fine quality of ore.
On the Merger vein, the various
raises made exceptionally good pro-
gress, in the four workings of this
character a total footage of 90
feet having been made. This foot
age vas divided among the several
raises as follows: Raise 437, 20
feet; raise 43S, 40 feet: raise 439.
is feet, and raise 431, 9 feet.
On the 1350-foot level, $50 raise,
Oh the north Breccia vein, is being
advanced in a very good grade of
ore. Last week an advance of Is
feet was made with these splendid
conditions showing all the way
throughout the raise.
TonOpah Belmont
Aside from the regular report OF
operations at the local PROPERTY,
which are going ahead under the
most favorable circumstances, the
main feature of the report for the
current week is to the effect that
the company now has three drills
working in the properties which il
lately acquired.
OF these, two are diamond drills
and the third is a churn. These
drills are being operated at widely
separated points in the ground re-
Gently taken yer and while thew
nave not as yet gone deep enough
to furnish any indications. there IS
every reason to hope for the great
est measure of success.
There have been no late reports
received regarding the operations Of
the belmont company in the out
side properties. but so far as ie
known everything at the Surf Inlet
mine and the Emma gold mine in
Colorado is progressing favorablv.
The detailed report of mining OBJ
eratiOns for the past week is as
follows:
On the G00-foot level the face Of
ISL south cross-cut from $50 east
drift on the south vein was ad-
vanced at the customary rate of
sneed. and during the mast weeks
progress some s%tringers of low
grade quartz were cut. Operations
we're continued in $50 south cross
cut from the same drift until a dis
tance of Is feet was reached. At
this point work was discontinued
for the present.
On the 7O0-foot level. 1872 raise.
