of the rise. 1t has brought back
the attention of the mining world to
fonopah and its possibilities, and in
vestors have been again attracted to
place in the properties which are
still in the prospect class. With
this in view, the operations of the
Tonopah Mining company in the
eastern and southern portions of the
camp, where it is working under
options on the Mizpah Extension
and California and Tonopah groups,
are being followed with a great deal
of interest in the results of these
ventures.
Silver has been steadily above
60 cents per ounce, according to the
quotations for the past week. with
every prospect that further ad-
vances may be expected. Reports
from the east state that officials
OF the Tonopah companies in Phila-
delphia have been loath to sell their
stored silver at ever current prices,
believing hat the metal is destined
to go much higher. 1t is understood
that some of the companies are
d~isposing of their current produc-
ton and their treasures are being
enriched to the extent of the pres
ent advances in the price.
The report of mill operations of
the Tonopah Mining company for
the week ending March %, shows
thai an average of "a stamps We're
kept dropping and hat 1900 ons
OF ore were put through the mill.
The ore maintained an average OF
SIS per ton. During this period
there was shipped from the mine
&c the mill 1875 tons of ore.
jim Butler Mine
The Jim Butler Tonopah Mining
company, along with the other pro-
ducers of Tonopah, is benetltt.ng
greatly through the sustained ad-
rance in silver. A report from Phil
adelphia states that the Butler
company has close to 100000 ounces
stored, and as the treasurer's state
ment for the fiscal year ending
Sept. 80, 1915, stated that the
company had on hand silver valued
at so cents per ounce, it will be
seen that not only has this reserya-
ton been added to greatly since the
report was issued by additional
= ill.,, h,J1iAn hut that
the value of the stored product has
greatly increased.
At the mine, operations are be
ing carried along in the usual salts
factory the regular rate Of
production is maintained and the
development work continues to be
erergetically pushed ahead. 1t is
expected within a short time that
| plans for further development of the
property will be completed and this
new work, as it is commenced and
prosecuted, will be reported upon.
West End Consolidated
There is practically 10 change
reported in the workings at the
w est Emu tOUSOIIudtcu NlllhS WIN
pany's property. all the operations
having been continued in the usual
satisfactory manner.
On the 500 level, stope 500 con-
tributed the usual amount of good
ore for the company's mill.
In the 600-C territory a very
good tonnage of good grade rock is
continuing to be furnished from
the stope, the ore running consid-
erably more than the average mill
heads of the TOnOpah mills, across
a width of 10 to IL feet of vein.
On the 623 intermediate level,
in Col Wine territory, stopping op
erations were carried on in the us
ual productive manner in Slopes g,
IL and 16, with no material change

having occurred in any Of the work
irgs.
On the Gal intermediate level
the west drift made the usual prog
ress on the showings of very prom
Using values reported last week.
A north crosscut from this west
drift has been worked steadily dur
ing the week, and it is expected
that in a day or two the first raise
TO the vein will be started.
Rescue Eula Mine
The official report of operations
at the Rescue Eula Mining company
in connection with the recent strike
made on the $50 level notes that
the drift is now out considerably
over 100 feet, estimated to be be-
tween 10 and 100 feet. The drift
has advanced continuously in the
ore.
The two raises, | and 2, were
continued upwards on the vein, and
they both show good faces of ore.
The north crosscut was extended
during the week further toward
the north side line of the Eula
claim, and several good stringers
have been cut in the progress OF
the work. These s%tringers show
some values, but are too narrow to
be commercially profitable.
Negotiations looking to the con-
troll of the West Tonopah Mining
company and its property have been
pending for some time. and the
transaction is in such shape o
that the final consummation of the
deal is merely a matter of a few
details.
Continued good progress is re-
ported in the south crosscut on the
1900 level at the Halifax TOnopah
Mining company's property and
within a short time connections
should be made with the Buckeye
Belmont crosscut which is being
extended to meet the Halifax crCss-
cut.
Supplementing the shipments al
ready made from the stopping op-
erations at the MacNamara Min
ing company's property, another
shipment was made this week,
amounting to about so tons. This
makes the fifth carload Of ore
that has been sen from the mine
to the West End mill.
Operations at the new shaft work
ings of the Tonopah Midway Min
ing company were prosecuted with
the usual vigor during the past week.
In the crosscut on the $50 level
the favorable indications continue
to be maintained and the quartz
stringers carrying values are con-
%tinuously coming in the workings.
A great deal of activity is being
displayed in the extension Of the
operations at the Monarch Pitts
burgh property and development
work continues without interruption.
North Star Mine
On account of some of the shaft
timbers at the North Star mine
having to be reset only a small
GmcInt of work was done at the
'bItilN uullhS tHc WCCh, ohu Ih'o
was taken care of through the
haft Of the Midway company.
A rEipment of SO tons of regular
Grade was shipped to the West
End mill during the week. AS o o
as the repairs to the shaft are com
rlete6. development operations will
BE resumed and pushed with vigor.
III, contractors engaged in sinN-
ing the shaft on the Tonopah Bo-
nanZa are making very rapid head
way and have now passed the
1905 foot point in the sinking.
Coalitions are very favorable for
good progress as there is very lit
tie water IN the shaft and it ap-
pears to be getting less as the shall
gets deeper.-Tonopah Miner.

The TOnopah Belmont company
sent to the mill 1899 tons, the To-
nopah Mining 1876 tons, the Tono-
pah Extension 1900 tons, the Jim
Butler 500 tons, the West End
622 tons the Midway Sc tons.
the Montana 46 tons, the Rescue Sc

60 tons, and m~icellaneous leasers
so tons, making the total produc-
ton for the week $3.50 tons, the es-
timated value being $179,700.
This valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value of the ore.
Much news of great Importance
concerning the definite operations
and the possible ventures of the
Tonopah Belmont Development
company is coming by way of Phil
adelphia, where the home office OF
the company is located. While this
news is cleaned largely from ex-
changes, it comes from reputable
sources, and there is no reason to
doubt the authenticity of it. CLYDE
A. Heller. president of the company
last week was in Colorado, and in
company with Mr.. Bradshaw, gen
eral superintendent of the company,
is reported to have made eXamina-
tons of several properties on which
II is also reported that while Mr..
Heller and Mr.. Bradshaw were
together arrangements we're made
for sundry construction work at
the Surf Inlet mine, on Princess
Royal Island, about 400 miles north
of Vancouver. b. c. No doubt an
nouncement will be made at the
proper time concerning the plans OF
the Belmont company with regard
to its operations at Surf Inlet.
Week by week the report of min
ing operations on the Tonopah Elk
tension Mining company's property
grows more interesting as develop
ments are unfolded at the points in
has been conferred, and each weeks
work seems to add years to the
probable life of the Extension com
pany. The eft repeated assertion
hat the Extension will prove to be
one of the biggest gold silver mines
in the world, if not the very big
gest, is being continuously confirmed
by the expansion of the systematic
campaign of development work so
ably planned and faithfully eXecut-
ed On the 1910 level of the Vic
tor workings, the hugeness of the
Murray vein has been demonstrated
and yet ven now there is no tell
ing whether the maximum showing
has been attained. Since the first

the 1910 level, which had been
proved to have a width of ~ feet

width of the vein, the west drift on
this level was continued as a ross

TROUT DIE IN DI1CHES

HIGH WATER.
Government Seeks Invention That
VIII Effectively Protect Young
Fish From Death.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Tests OF various devices
to prevent fish from entering irriga-
ton bitches are to be made by fores-
try officials. who say that thousands
OF trout placed in western streams by
the government are killed by being
washed out on the fields. There ara
no less than 1900 irrigation projects
on OF near the national forests. and
In many places the loss of trout is
very heavy. The amount of water
used in irrigation, It Is said, often de-
termines the advisab bility OF artificial
ly stocking the streams.
The government annually plants
millions OF fish fry in the streams of
the national forests. Last year over
100000 were planted In Colorado and
Wyoming alone. Where much of the
water Is used for irrigation. unless
the bitches are screened. the trout en-
ter them and are washed out on to
the fields. While fish are said to
make good fertilizer. officials think
that trout are too expensive to be
used for that purpose.
MOST OF the western states have
laws requiring that the bitches be
screened, but they are seldom en-
forced. The farmers are said to dis
like the screens. because they col
lect drift-wood and trash-which
prevents the free flow of the water.
A number OF devices for screening
bitches are in use, and while two or
three have been found to be fairly
effective most of them are said to be
unsatisfactory. 1t is asserted that
this subject presents an excellent OPP
portunity for inventors. since a sue
cessful screen will be sure to be wide
ly used. Under present conditions of

tion bitches.
