steady producer will add it's share
company's list of live assets, and
undoubtedly within a relatively
short period of time the account
standing in the name of the Eden
Mining company will show a credit
instead of a debit balance on the
books of the controlling company.
At the main property of the COM
pany in Tonopah, the new work
which is contemplated in the Sand
grass claim, consisting of the sink
ing of that shaft to additional
depth, is still held up pending the
arrival of certain necessary sinking
equipment, which. though ordered
some time ago, has not yet been
received. At the present levels,
however, in this section of the
mine, development work was car
ried on at the usual rate of advance
on the 114O, 1900 and 13O0-foot
laterals.
A slight increase in footage is
20 NCu a pei LOG VI ~
weeks report as to development
work performed in the several df-
ferent parts of the property, the
total amounting to 279 feet as COM
pared with 27O feet made during
the preceding week. This work was
divided among the various workings
as follows: Mizpah claim, 25 feet;
Silver Top territory, 167 feet, and
Sandgrass claim, 81 feet.
The report of mining operations
in detail shows that at the Silver
Top workings, on the 340-foot Level,
the stope was worked without inter-
ruption during the week, and
though it has been reported in the
pointed to al early working out OF
the ore in this locality, the show
ing continued to be very satisfac-
tory throughout the period covered
hy this report. The vein at the
present time has a width of 4
feet and is of good milling grade.
TOnOpah-BelmOnt
The two plants of the Tonopah
Belmont shipped during the week,
as a result of the final clean-ups at
the respective plants, 150,7S1 oun-
ces of gold-silver bullion. OF this
aIlount, "a bars, weighing 45.555
ounces, were shipped from MillerS,
and 54 bars, weighing 1O5,22S
ounces, went forward from the
Tcnopah plant. Based on 80 cents
per ounce for the combined ship
Tents have a total Appropriated
valuation of $135,702.9 90.
Development operations at the
main local property of the company
are proceeding in the most agrees
sive manner possible, while at the
same time due care is manifested
that all the mine workings are
maintained in the most workmanlike
shape. To illustrate: AS the faces
of the various Slopes in the mine,
which are being extended along the
orebodies, big, medium and small,
the management exercises especial
care that the timbering work is
kept closely up to the actual tx
cavating work thai is in progress.
In this manner, all fear of slides
and caves in the slopes, some OF
which are situated in extremely
heavy ground, is removed, and the
practice results in the greatest
economy, %obviating as it does any
necessity for going over the work
at a future time after active oper-
atoms have ceased in such places.
In recent weeks some of the
prospecting work which was pro-
jected and kept under way with the
purpose of locating extensions of
veins encountered on other Levels
or at different localities on the
same level, has been successful, and
development work has been started
on the continuation of those bodies.
Jim Butler Mine
The weekly report issued by the
management of the Jim Butler To-
nopah Mining company is substan-
TALLY similar to the ones previous
ly made, so far as development
work and production is concerned.
The Tonopah Belmont, operating
the Belmont Mining company's plant
at Millers, largely on the prOduc-
ton of the Jim Butler mine, re-
ports that there was shipped
late this week to the smelters "a
bars of bullion weighing 45,553
ounces, and having an approx
mate valuation of $4,000.
This indicates that the usual
steady progress has been maintain
ed in extracting the ore fir m the
portions of the mine, and
that the output and values of the
ore remain at about the anne
figures that have consistently been
reported.
