the West End 7O5 tons, the Jim

AS a result of operations for the
month of December, the Tonopah
Mining company reports that its
property in. Tonopah made total net
profits of $56,025 from a shipment
of 191,100 ounces of gold and sill
yer bullion. valued at $3.50, 700,
after deducting all costs of produc-
ton, treatment, etc.
w. H. Blackburn. superintendent
of the company, is now on his way
east. At Philadelphia he will join
President Austin, Geologist Spur
and Governor Miller of Delaware,
and with them constitute the party
of Tonopah Mining officials who
will leave the latter part of January
for Nicaragua to inspect the oper-
atoms at the Eden Mining company.
The damage which occurred about
10 days ago through the fire at the
Mizpah shaft putting it out of COM
mission, has been to some extent
%remedied, and the hoist has been
repaired in a temporary manner so
as to relieve the Red Plume shaft
of the extra burden which was con-
sequently put upon it. The cage
is now being operated for the Dur-
pose of handling the men and tools
but the ore which is produced from
the Silver Top territoy is still being
hoisted through the Red Plume
shaft.
Owing to the rather congestad
conditions on the levels in the Sill
yer Top ground, it has been found
necessary, in order to render mining
operations more practicable and
economical, to put on an additional
shift of men, which will greatly "a
~cilitate operations in this territory.
The work of exploring the ground
of the California and Tonopah prom
erty. under option to the Tonopah
Mining company, is being expedited
as much as possible. The com
pressor is completely installed, but
has not vet commenced operations
for actual mining purposes. it still
being in the process of adjustment.

The report of mine and mill OPP
erations at the Tonopah Belmont
Development company's property in
Tonopah fer the month of December
shows the imposing returns, as me-
profits of $S0,135.13, as given in
the above capitulation. The increase
in the earnings over those given
in the report for November, is uu-
doubtedly attributable to the higher
prices quoted for silver, for only a
slightly larger amount of ore was
milled and the average contents o
the gold and silver was generally
maintained. Thus it is seen that the
increase of 25 per cen owe the not
profits for November is due to the
advance in the price of silver moe
than to any other factor. And with
silver again tending upward the out
look for continued increase in the
earnings on the part of the Bel
mont company, as well as all the
shippers, is very promising.
The development of the unpros-
pected territory within the boun-
daries of the property continues
with the usual diligence and the
same satisfactory progress has beer
achieved in extending the limits of
the already well blocked areas in
the mine. Also as disclosed ay the
weekly reports of Developments
and the monthly reports of proIuc-
ton, the output of the mine con-
tinues to yield a most satisfactory
