sent to the mill 3,O31 tons, the
Tonopah Mining 2,250 tons, the
{ Tonopah Extension. 1850 tons, the
Jim Butler $50 tons, the West End
305 tons, the Rescue 237 tons, the
Montana 1872 tons, the Halifax 1873
tons. the Midway 102 tons, the
North Star 20 tons, the MacNam-
ara Al tons, and the Cash Boy so
tons, making the total production
for the week 1901 tons, the esti
mated value being s192,67S. THIS
valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value If the ore.
How the IN the price of
silver has affected the earning
powers of the Tonopah mining com
panies is well illustrated by the
last shipment of bullion and con-
centrates from the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company's two
plants. The final cleanup for the
month of April resulted in the
shipment of so bars, weighing o.
$50 ounces. from the mill at Tono-
pah and of 23 bars. weighing 40.-
2S5 ounces from the plant at
Millers, with an estimated valua-
ton of $119,242.25. At the same
time there were forwarded from
the two plants 81 tons of concen-
trates, SO tons coming from the
Tonopah plant aud Is tons from
Millers. At the conservatively es-
timated value of $3.50 per ton, the
entire shipment Of concentrates
will return ~$17.S5O.
Only on two occasions during d
period covering more than a year.
prior to this date have shipments
exceeded in worth the estimated
valuation shipped this week, and
on both occasions there were a far
greater number Of bars and a cor
respondingly greater total weight
included in the shipments.
AS pointed out by President
Heller, within the past five years
the Belmont mine has produced
19~,297,354 ounces of silver, equiv
alent to 5 % per cent of the total
production of the United States for
that period. or LII per cent of the
total production of the world in the
same space of time.
At the local mine, the usual sat
isfactory report of progress is
made. On the 700-foot level, there
are now exposed three branches of
the Rhyolite vein i'll 703 east
drift. The total width of the vein
is about three feet, and all the
ore is of very good grade. An in
creased width has been developed
in west drift 704, on the anne
vein, the face of the drift showing
two feet of good ore.

1t is announced by the Tonopah
Mining company that on the 300
level in the Sand Grass claim, the
crosscut which has been extend
ed toward the south for the pur-
pose of catching the eastern *
tension of the Murray vein mas
succeeded in accomplishing it's our
pose, the vein having just been
picked up. No information can
be obtained as yet as to the extent
of the find, except that the cross
cut has not yet cut entirely
through the vein. So far as is
observed, the ore is of excellent
milling grade.
The reports this week of the
'Tonopah Mining company's opera

the other regular features which
