nOpan Mlnlng 2SOO tons, the To-
nopah Extension 22OO tons, the Jim
Butler 1850 tons, the West End
S41 tons. the Rescue 223 tons,
the Halifax 157 tons, the Montana
"a tons, and the Midway 81 tons,
making the total production for the
week 1880 tons. the estimated
value being $212,56O. This valua-
ton is calculated on the gross mill
ing value of the ore.
DIR. M. r. Ward. president of the
Tonopah Extension Mining COM
pany, and closely identified with
other mining enterprises in the
Tcnopah district, has arrived in
town to make an inspection of the
workings of the Extension mine,
with reference more particularly TO
the improvements which have been
Victor section of the property. In
an interview, DR.. Ward said:
MY trip is mainly to see the
consummation of our plans for the
production and treatment of great
err tonnages from the mine. The
Victor shaft as been completely
finished, with a new transportation
system in operation to convey the
ores from the stope workings on
the bottom level to the shaft for
hosting to the bins. The trans
p%Crtation system is in perfect work.
ing order, and we expect hat half
the ore requirements of the mill
will be supplied through the Vic
tor shaft.
There is no material change in
the developments since my last
visit here, principally because most
OF the time has been devoted to
completing the construction work
in the lower level of the niue,
for which we completed plans at
that time. The slopes, however.
Dr. the bottom level, are full of
ore. and we are now starting a
new era of increased production
from the Extension mine which we
expect to continue for a long time
to come.
Eve expect to continue our de-
velopment to the westward from
the 1540-foot level of the Victor.
Plans are now being completed
along these lines, and this work
will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible."
TOnOpah- Belmont
The most valuable bullion ship
ment made during this year from
the property of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company was
that reported last week. The ship
ment is estimated to have an ag-
gregate valuation of S153 900, and
climaxes the previous ~bi-weekly
shipments that have gone forward
during 1916 from the two milling
plants of the Belmont company.
Every shipment made since the
beginning of the present year with
the exception Of one which did not
include the figures on the bullion
shipped from the Millers plant, has
been well over the 100000 mark.
AS a result of the enormously valu-
able shipments of bullion, the earn
ings for the first five months in
1916 have totaled $429,826.
Reports concerning the operations
of the company outside of Tono-
pah are of the most encouraging
nature, and splendid progress con-
tinues to be made in the work of
preparing such properties for &C
tives operation. At the Surf Inlet
mine, conditions remain favorable
for the prosecution of the construc-
ton work which is being done to
connect the inlet with tidewater.
General Manager Bradshaw last
week visited the Bull Moose mine
at Carrara, Nevada, for the purpose
of inspecting the progress so far
made in the preliminary work. In
formation has been received from
Carrara to the effect that the Bel
mont company is employing a force
of about 20 men in their opera
tions and that developments art pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
At the main property of the
company, the usual satisfying re-

development operations and pro-
duction work, the report shows
the splendid results which have
been in the leading features of the
successive weekly reports, and this
latest report is no exception to
the rule.
