width of good ore. North cross-cut

nection with the Belmont shaft. has
passed out of the ~trachyte forma-

way through Midway andesite.
Tonupah Mining Company
The uniformly satisfactory re-
suits which have been shown in
the progress of affairs at the Tono.
rah Mining company's properties, at
TCnopah and at Breckenridge,
Colorado. are likewise reported for
the present week. In the local pro-
perty, development work is proceed
ing at the usual rate in all sections
of the mine except the Red Plume
ground, where operations were dis
continued a few weeks ago by rea-
son of the fact that the hoist was
dismantled and removed to the SAND
Grass shaft. The old Sand Grass
hoist is still at that shaft; in fact.
It is not the intention to remove
II to the Red Plume ground for
tie present. as there may be occa-
sion to use it as an emergency hoist
before the newly-transferred hoist
from the Red Plume is completely
in commission.
a report from Breckenridge,
Colorado, has been received, to the
effect that the Tonopah PlacerS
pnnnnanu in addition ta +ho +l,o,
%dredgers which it is working on the
creeks in that vicinity, is now MAX
ing tests by means of drilling OF
ali area to the south of what is
known as the Cold Pan placer, and
ii the examination discloses salts
factory returns, it is stated in the
report that a fourth and larger
oredge may be placed at this section
OF the district. The net returns
from these operations, in which the
Tonopah Mining company owns a
five-sixth interest, have constituted
a valuable supplement to the total
earnings of the mining company,
and since only a small area has
been ~dredged the period of opera
lions will be of long duration, with
added possibilities as other sections
are prospected. There have been
nc late reports concerning develop
nlents on the ledge which was un-
covered some weeks ago and which
is thought to be an extension of n
producing vein hat is being work
ed in an adjoining lode property.
The report of mill operations of
the Tonopah Mining company for
the week ending October 23th,
shows that an average of SO stamps
were kept dropping and that 1900
tons of ore were put through the
mill. The ore had an average value
OF SIS per ton.
West End Consolidated
The West End Consolidated ship
ped yesterday to the smelters AZ
bars of bullion, weighing 6S,3S2
ounces. Based upon a valuation of
80 cents per ounce, this shipment
is worth approximately $54,665.6O.
Such excellent progress continues
to be made in r~etimbering the old
shaft of the Ohio Tonopah Mining
company. which several years ago
was taken over by the West End
Consolidated, that today consider
ably less than 200 feet of retimber-
ing remains to be done.
Up to the time that the report
was made, the management esti-
mated that the shaft timbering had
been replaced and repaired to Il
depth of over 600 feet, and at the
same rate of speed it should re-
'quire only about another week to
complete this work and begin pre-
parations for the sinking of the
shaft to greater depths, the daily
average since the retimbering pro-
cess was started having been about
20 feet.
In the West End territory proper,
Inc company is producing and
shipping ore from the 3OOA stope.
a55 stope, 500 stope, and from 39S
slope above the 400 east, and at
TIE same time ore is now coming
o 448 stope.
MOnarch-Pittsburg
Last Saturday morning in the
Misunderstanding mine the round
o. holes blasted in the 1925 raise
OF the 1908 west drift disclosed =
nice shoot of ore which has caused
much happiness among those inter
ested in the western district. AS yet
It's length and width has not been
determined as no definite foot or
hanging-walls are in evidence. Thus
TAR the shoot has been developed for
4 distance of % feet and has a
known width of about 4 feet. The
raise is up III feet and was being
eXtende along the Extension brec-
cha footwall when the shoot was en-
countered. Some of the ore is ex-
