Tonopah Extension $3.50 tons, be
Jim Butler 1850 tons, the W st
End 675' tons. the Rescue 100 tons,
the Halifax 215 tons, the Montana
80 tons. the Midway 10 tons, and
the MacNamara sc tons, making the
total production for the week 1853
tons. the estimated value being
$195,202. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value of
the ore.
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company reports that as a result Of
its mining and milling operations
during the month of September, a
total net profit of S64,S96 was
made. The number of tons milled
was 9545, from which was produced
1.j64,761 ounces of gold bullion
and 170,614.S5 ounces Of silver
bullion.
With the operations in the mine
on the various levels from the $50
foot depth at the No. 2 shaft down
to the 154O-foot level at the Vic
tor section of the property, being car
I ed on without the slightest hitch,
and with the mill steadily grind
ing away at a 340-ton per day rate,
or an average of nearly Z tons per
Cay per stamp. conditions at the big
property of the Tonopah Extension
Mining company have maintained
the same extraordinary status that
was established when the mill fin
ally received its additional unit of
10 stamps and the production OF
the mine was increased to a CORES
pcnding degree to keep the mill
busy.
The slopes on all the levels, ever
heretofore extracted from them
continue to show the same spelen-
did strength that has characterized
these production areas since the I'M
mense slopes on the Murray, the
North Merger and the o. X. veins
were first fully opened up to their
respective widths.
In the meantime, while extraction
has been going on at the regular
rate, development work has been
pushed ahead at the usual vigorous
pace, the energies of the company
in this respect have been expend-
ed as the requirements demanded
III the various exploratory and de-
velopment workings.
The recent sale of the Tonopah
Sully Mining company's property
has aroused a great lea of inter-
est among the mining public, not
only in TonOpah but on the western
coast and in the east as well. AS
soon as the cross-cut which is head
ed towards this property has
that the interest will be redoubled,
if. as is possible. some other start
ling development does not occur
before the south side line of the
Sully has been reached.
Tonopah-BelmOnt
On Tuesday of this week, the To-
nopah Belmont company made ship
ments from it's two milling plants,
that from Tonopah consisting OF
bullion and concentrates, and that
from Millers being bullion alone.
The shipment from the TOnOpah
mill was composed of "A bars of
bullion, weighing S5.S21 ounces,
having an estimated valuation o.
~$68,656.80, which, together with
the 80 tons OF concentrates, valued

Tonopah mills product up to sS4,-

The Millers shipment consisted OF

ounces, and this shipment is valued,
based upon the same conservative
estimate as that made from TonO-
pah, at $44,6S9.6 60. The total esti-
mated value of the two shipments,
therefore, is $~128,946.40. A spien-
did addition to the already tremen-
dous output from the mine has thus
been made by eason of the opera
tons during the first semi-monthly
period in October.
