ZlO tons, showing an increase OF
about so tons over the previous
weeks production.
Plans for the installation of the
new compressor on the surface have
been made and 1t is expected that
within a few days the forms will
have been set and the concrete run
to support the compressor. With
this additional equipment, mining
operations will be facilitated and
expedited in the underground work.
.ngs of the Rescue.
During the past week, stopping
work was conducted in an inter
mittent manner in the drift near
the Belmont line.
Halifax onopah
The output occurring through the
development operations at the Hall
fax Tonopah Mining company re-
NAMED about the same as hereto
fore reported, production being
maintained at the rate of about SO
tons every other day.
Developments have been prose-
cuted with due diligence, and the
generally satisfactory conditions
continue in the exploratory work
which is under way.
The raise, numbered 1928, from
the top of the stor" on the 1917 in
termedate level, was advanced con-
tinuously during the week, and to
the very top of the raise the show
ings are just as good as at any
point along the ore body. -,
On the 130O-foot level, the two
erly direction and the other toward
the south, vera advanced the usual
distances. 1T is the intention of
the management to project raises
from these crosscut when a vantage
roint is reached; which will be in
the a future.
The first cleanup at the mill of
the West End Consolidated has been
made, and early this week a ship
ment of 81 bars, weighing 6O,522
ounces was forwarded to the smell
tor. The shipment has an estimated
valuation of $~4S.417.6O. The size
of the shipment indicates the ex
tent of the treatment operations at
the mill, which for some time has
been driven at full capacity, taking
care of the production from the
West End and the Halifax ores on
direct account and from the Rescue,
North Star, Midway, Montana and
MacNamara since those properties
directly, and through leasers, have
been producing.
There is no news out of the Or
binary contained in the reports of
operations at the Jim Butler-TOno-
pah property for the past week. De-
velopment operations have been X
tended in the usual satisfactory
manner, and the normal production
has been maintained from the
slopes which are being worked.
Preparations for the extension of
prospecting work in the Stone Cabin
ground are well ur der way, and the
laying of track, rail, pipe, etc, is
being done as fast as possible.
North Star Work
Development operations at the
North Star mine are going ahead
vigorously under superintendent
Lowe. On the main 75O-foot level,
the south crosscut is being con-
tinued, but no change is reported
H. this working. From the south
crosscut, a drift is being run in an
easterly direction. During the past
week, as operations progressed. a
heavy fault came into the drift
workings. and the drift is being
driven ahead through the fault mat
ter.
Above the 900 level, drifting con
tinues on about Is inches of good
milling ore.
With the exception of the fact
that the normal extraction was
made from the flat vein at the Miz-
pah Extension Mining company and
the work of sinking the winze from
the. 1155=foot level was continued
at the usual rate of progress, the
weekly report shows nothing new in
the way Of changed conditions, and
operations are being n@ld up pend
in~ further examination and con
~sideration by the company's ensi-
neers.
The retimbering of the shaft has
been completed at the Buckeye-Bel-
mont Mining company's property
and work is now being prosecuted
in the development of both lodges
which have been exposed. ms 9
feet of low grade ore which is
shown in one place is improving
as it is followed eastward.
Upon the completion of connec-
tions between the workings of the
MacNamara Mining Company and
Tonopah Mining company, condi-
tions have been made more favor
able for the prosecution of develop
ment and nroduction work on the
