The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-02-19

Development is proceeding as Wig
orously as usual at the property ill
Tonopah. On the 700 level a north
west drift was started from 753
east cross-cut on about a foot of
fair grade ore which was cut in
Nhe cr~oss-cut. This drift is going
in on che vein for the purpose Of
prospecting it. The operations in
this drift constitute the only work
which was done on this level, for
while drifting is in progress, opera
tons in the 753 cross-cut have teen
stopped.
On tie 500 level in east drift SCI
advancing on the 953 vein, conii-
tons have improved materially, the
vein having improved materially,
or to about IL feet of ore, which
maintains a fair grade. About 2 !?
feet of good grade ore continues
to be shown in the face of S6i
east drift, which is going out OIL
the Rhyolite vein and the usual sat
isfactory progress was made in the
srift during the week.
West drift S65, which has been
started on the same vein, likewise
exposes az feet of very good ore.
Raise 6 on the Rhyolite vein, WHICH
is being projected to a height cor
responding to that of raise 5 on
the same vein, made RAPID Roadway
during the weeks operations, and
in it's advancement is duplicating
the developments made in the lat
ter raise.
TOnOpah Extension
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company continues it's good show
ing in the matter of production AMI
treatment of it's ores, and as a
result of the last cleanup at the
mill, AZ bars weighing 6713 pounds
and having an estimated valuation
of $685. were shipped, together
with 80 tons of concentrates as u
result of the months operations,
valued at $10,5OO.
The total value of the bullion
md concentrates shipped is approx
imately ~$7S,500, and the increase
over that reported for the two weeks
preceding this cleanup period is at
tributed to the Increased value CT
the mill heads, which are now run
ming SIS per ton as compared wits
the SIC heads on which the mill
was running previously.
Great activity is noted at tho
surface workings of the company
after the recent heavy storms. Con-
struction work is being speeded up
at the main property and in the
Victor ground, and the entire equip
ment for %disposing of the products
of the mine will be ready in ample
time to meet the increased pro
duction when the workings are con-
nected between the 1910 level ot
the Victor and the Wine which is
going down from the 1850 level OF
the No. 2 shaft workings.
The mine report shows that there
has been no depreciation in the
Conditions reported since No. 2 shat:
ground was opened up. The usual
splendid advancement has been
made in development work and the
record of footage at No. 2 shaft
IS reported as 1913 feet, while at
the Victor section of the mine i'll
feet of development work was ac
complished.
Monarch Pittsburgh
Conditions at the Monarch Pitts
Eurgh remain about the same as
lat week. The vein narrowed con
s~iaerably last Monday but upon
further development it widened OUT
again to six feet and punches OF
good ore are being encountered
with the blasting of each round.
l.. r. Robins and o. r. McCran-
ey, the well known biologists and
experts in the Butler West End con-
~troversy, are making a minute
study of the geological conditions
with the view of advising the man
agement as to the most feasible
system of developing the big vein
encountered on the $50 level. While
they have not yet completed their
examination, both are enthusiastic
as to future developments and ere
of the opinion that it is simply a
matter of vigorous development.
West End Consolidated
No change from the usual gra-
tifying conditions existing at the
property of the West End COl-
solidated Mining company is re-
porated this week, and in all the
workings where operations nave
been extended the same satisfactory
progress has been continued on the
excellent showings in the mine that
has earned the commentator OF
those interested in the property.
The report shows nothing new in
the way of development work on
the 400 level. Slope 500 contln-
ued to produce consistently from
the fine body of ore which has been
yielding good tonnages since opera
