Tonopah Mining Company
That conditions at the main pro-
perty of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany have improved to a consider
able degree within recent times is
attested not only by the big in
crease in the bullion output for the
last two weeks in August at the
reduction plant of the company
at Millers, over those Immediately
preceding it, but by the more than
Cne hundred per cent increase in
the earnings for that month as CON-
pared with the earnings of the sew.
etal months preceding August.
The shipments previously report
ed in August and July were as fol-
lows: $49,425 on August 26th; $43,
100 on August and July were as
follows: $49,425 on August 26th;
$43,100 on August 18th; and $780,
$50 on July Goth; while that re.
ported as having been made on
September Sth amounted to very
nearly $4,000.
Thus. the reports of the opera
tions at the Millers plant, as fur
nished weekly by the company, have
within the past few weeks shown
an increase in the number OF
stamps dropping and the grade OF
the ore has at the same time I'M
proved to an appreciable degree,
running now around SIS and SIG
per ton as compared with the $12 10
average reported during the month
of July.
