Butler 500 tons, the West End 500
tons, the Montana S4 tons, the Res
cue 100 tons, and the Cash Boy
GO tons, making the total produc-
ton for the week 1891 tons, the
estimated value being $176,29S.
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company shipped to the smelters
his week "A bars of bullion, hav-
ing a total weight of 6,S13 pounds,
and being valued at $70,500 which
resulted from the bi-weekly cleanup
at the mill covering the final fort
night in March. At the same time
a carload of concentrates, weighing
about 35 IONS was shipped to the
shelters and as the estimated value
of the concentrates is $3.50 e ton,
this mades an addition to the bull
lion value of about $12,250.
The improvements on the surface
of the company's property are be-
ing pushed rapidly to completion.
The elevated electric railway is
practically completed, needing but
a few finishing touches, while it
is expected hat the necessary troll
ley equipment for the five-ton car
will be received At the pres
ent time the t~restlework at the
Extension side of the property is
being filled in for ballasting pur-
poses.
The additional equipment at the
Ill xr.lJ nnnoiCf nf nytrQ
stamps. tube mill, etc, foundations
for which are about completed. An
elaborate machine shop is being con-
structed and should be completed
in a short time.
While rapid Roadway is being
made on the surface there is also
an equal amount of activity shown
in the work of repairing the shaft
timbering at the Victor shaft, which
was filled with water for a long
period when the workings on the
1910 level encountered a big sub
terranean flow. So soon as this
repair work is completed, it is
expected that the tonnages for the
mill will be supplied equally from
No. 2 shaft in the Extension COM
pany's main property and the Vic
tor shaft.
The additional equipment in the
mill will without doubt be COM
pletely installed by July l when
an increase in the reduction OF
ores will result, calculated to be
about rs tons per day over the
daily tonnage nov being put through
the mill. This means that when
the mill has received it's added
equipment approximately 10000
IONS per month should be the
average reduction results.

Tonopah Mining Company
Quite a little interest was arous~
ed during the week by the circuia-
ton of a report that on the thifd
level of the California and Tono-
nah Mining company's ground, IN
der option to the Tonopah Mining
a good strike a been
made. An inquiry Of the officials
in charge of the work brought forth
the fact that nothing of an un-
usually startling nature had oc-
Cured in the course of the deVel-
opment work; that while some rev
punches of good looking rock were
encountered, it was all in fanlt
gouge material and there were no
indications of permanency. Later
operations confirmed this lndica-
ton. An east drift which was
projected along these stringers, was
sent over quite a distance, but
had to be discontinued as it vas
found the stringers pinched toward
the east. Another drift has been
