company sent to the mill 3079 tons
the Tonopah Mining 1926 tons, tn,
Tonopah Extension 1850 tons, tn,
West End 40 tons, the Jim But
Ter 1850 tons, the Halifax SO tons
and miscellaneous leasers III tons
making the total production for the
week S597 tons. the estimated val
lie is calculated on the gross mill
ing value of the ore.
On Jan. 9 the Tonopah MiniDs
company made it's regular biweekly
SID 1ment of bullion to the smelter
consisting of Sc bars having al
estimated value Of SCOPES. This
shipment resulted from the cleanup
for the preceding two weeks.
Conditions remain practically un-
changed at the company's property
in Tonopah, with active work being
registered at all points, although
operations have been interrupted
in fact, totally stopped, for two
days in the Silver Top territory
contiguous to the Mizpah shaft, in
consequence of a fire which oc-
Cured early Monday morning in the
compressor at the main WORK
ings of the company. Though the
loss, from a monetary standpoint,
is not thought to be great, prob
ably not exceeding $500, the fire
interfered with the work being done
through the Mizpah shaft. The big
compressors, which supply the
greater portion of air to the diff
ferent workings for the operation
of the drills and the ventilation OF
the workings, were put out OF COM
mission for two days, and it is
stated that it will probably be two
weeks before the repairs to the
building are completed during wnlcn
period no operations will be carried
on through the Mizpah shaft. In
the meantime all the ore and rock
from the Silver Top and adjacent
workings is being done through the
Red Plume shaft. While the OPP
erations will be carried on with in
convenience, it is not expected thai
there will be any letup in the active
developments going on in the prop
erty.
AS stated, there have been NO
other unusual or startling changes
in the development work in prog
ress, neither at the main property
of the company in Tonopah nor in
the Mizpah Extension or Califor-
mia properties, which are being
worked by the Tonopah Mining COM
pany under options and where de-
velopment and examination are pro-
Ceeding.
Concerning the outside properties
of the company, fragmentary pieces
of news occasionally are o%btainable,
invariably however from sources
outside of the management, which
is extremely reticent regarding these
properties and gives out no details
concerning the operations except
ing in the annual reports.
