only one whose operations failed to
exceed the $1,000 point, in the
matter of net profits for the res
pective periods.
Aside from the splendid progress
which is being made in the main
local property. and the gratifying
reports as 70 developments at the
company's undertakings on the out
side, the chief item of interest
among the mining men of Tonopah
is the news that aggressive opera
tions have been started at the East
End property, lately taken over by
the Belmont company under an
agreement for its development.
The first diamond drill was placed
in commission early this week. 1t
is understood that within a short
time a second drill will be put in
operation. Under the terms which
were arranged between the Belmont
company and the East End stock
holders at their meeting in Tonopah
on the 18th instant, the Belmont
company is to eXpend $4,000 for
the thorough prospecting and de-
velopment of the East End g%rouni.
West End Consolidated
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company, On September 18th,
shipped to the smelters, as the re-
suit of the first cleanup during the
month, 43 bars which weighed IT,

bullion is estimated to be $685.
1860, based on the rate of 80
cents per ounce for the combined
gold and silver contents.
The most interesting feature Of
the report for the present week IS
the statement that the pipeline
which has been run from the tank
above the Halifax shaft will be In
commission shortly, probably by the
end OF this month. The warm water
from the Halifax lower levels, which
is collected in a tank at the collar
OF the shaft, is relayed by means of
a centrifugal pump to the tank on
the southern slope of Mount Oddie,
whence it will run by gravity to the
West End mill.
The tank on the hill is approx
mately 1870 feet higher, in a vertical
line, than the collar of the shat,
and in the neighborhood of 800
feet above the mill elevation. The
tank has a capacity of 10000
gallons.
Rescue-E ula Mine
Hermann Zadig, vice-president of
the Rescue-Eula Mining company
made one of his visits to the mine
during the past week. He stated
that he is very much gratified by
the results of recent operations, par
iicularly in the intermediate level
from the Wine, where a 4 foot vein
has just been uncovered, about 20
feet west of the winZe. Acting
Superintendent Moore is likewise
elated over this discovery, and is
enthusiastic yer the possibilities of
opening up a good body of rich
ore at this depth.
On the main level, drifting to the
east is still in progress on a full B.
foot face of very good ore, and from
this level raise 5 is being contin-
ued, also on an excellent showing.
The raise is up to a height of 70
feet above the level.
Captain Case, superintendent III
charge of operations at the West
Tonopah Mining company's property
reports that sinking is still in pro-
gress and that very satisfactory
Roadway is being made. There
have been no material changes in
conditions attending the work.
North Star Mine
The success which has attended
the prosecution of prospecting and
development work at the North Star
mine during recent weeks has stir
red the management to greater ac-
tivity, if possible. in opening up the
orebodies at the property. Good
Roadway is being made in the drift
which is being run to the west on
the vein that was picked up and
identified as the downward extern
sion of the rich vein on the $50.
A slightly increased width has
been developed since the last report
was issued, it now being 2k feet
wide, and of the same good grade
as was shown where it was first
cut. For the purpose of proving
UP this orebody, a raise has been
started east of the cross-cut toward
the 9O0-foot level, with which con-
nections will soon be made.
1t is announced by the manage
ment of the MacNamara Mining
company that prosecuting has been
started from the West End ground
above the 5O0-foot level, under the
agreement entered into between the
two companies last spring. The OBJ
ject of this work is to thoroughly
deyalop tbat norton of the MacNo-
