group were located by Charles Blat
ger of Gold Center late in 1912, an(
after many vicissitudes of fortune
during which time Baltzer never
lost faith in the property, it is now
practically assured hat the claim:
will be given the proper investiga-
ton and development. LeaseTs il
former years extracted a good ton
mage of ore, it is said, which will
some sorting yielded splendid r
turns.
At the property of the company
in Tonopah the usual gratifying con-
dition exists to keep the mine in
its position among the foremost pro
ducers. Development work pro.
ceeds with all the energy and vigoI
for which the company is noted ano
as there still remains in the prop
erty of the company al immense
acreage which has not yet been ex-
Dlored, the life of the company is
assured for many years to come.
From portions of the property al
ready developed the usual satisfact-
DRY production continues to furnish
tonnage sufficient to satisfy the
capacity of the mills.
On the 700 level, the east ross
cut was extended the usual dis
lance, and continued to advance in
lMizpah trachyte. No change is re-
ported in the conditions existing
in this cross-cut worth of partic-
ular mention.
On the 500 level a considerable
amount of development work was
accomplished. In east drift $50,
which is being extended on the
Rhyolite vein, the vein faulted and
at this point a cross-cut has been
started in a southerly direction in
an endeavor to pick up the faulted
segment.
West drift 500 on this level
showed a slight narrowing during
the week from last weeks report,
being now between enc and one ana
a half feet in width. The ore MAIN
tains it's usual fair value.
The conditions at the property Of
the Tonopah Extension Mining
company are satisfactory.
Stopping operations which have
been in progress for so long on the
pillars at No. 1 shaft have been
discontinued and no operations are
being conducted through this shaft.
At the No. 2 shaft territory the
usual amount of development and
production took place. The detailed
report of operations at this section
of the properties recites the prog
ress of the work as follows:
On the $50 level stopping continues
in stope 81 on four feet of mill
ore.
On the $50 level the intermediate
footwall cross-cut advanced 35 feet
stope 91S on five feet of milling
grade ore.
On the 1920 level stopping from
Ill stcpe on six feet of mill ore
and on the 1170 level stopping is be-
ing done on a face of five feet OF
milling grade ore.
Jim Butler TOnOpah
AS is the case with all the other
Tonopah producers the Jim Butler
Tonopah Mining company in its
weekly report shows no substantial
change from it's usual condition
which might be worthy OF especial
mention. The production of good
grades of ore is being maintained
in a very satisfactory manner and
quite up to the usual weekly output
of the company. These ores return
a very good profit after treatment
and this excellent standard Of val
ues continues to be we'll sustained
Development work, under the pol
icy established by the company, is
being continued without abatement
and great encouragement is held ont
that the efforts expended in sucn
development work will be amply re-
warded by the disclosure of other
orebodies as good in quality ant
quantity as any that have been op
ened up in the development thai
