TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

RAISE HAS OpeHeu up d SHHdIl UOuy
of good grade ore. In raise "a,
from west drift 1146, on the Mizpah
Fault vein, the showing consists Of
8 feet of fair ore.
On the 1166-foot level. the north
crosscut from the east drift from
north crosscut 8, continues to make
progress in the hanging-wall of the
north branch of the Rhyolite vein.
The purpose of this crosscut is to
prospect for the continuation of the
vein.
On the 12OO-foot level the only
work performed was in 1916 west
drift, which is advancing along the
Mizpah Fault vein on a 2-foot show
ing of good grade ore.
On the 1400-foot level, raise 10,
from north crosscut 2, on the Shaft
vein, shows 2k feet of very fair
grade ore.
TonOpah Extension
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company earned profits of SAL

airy. The earnings resulted from
the production and treatment of
1851 tons of ore, from which were
produced ~1,2S1,365 ounces of gold
and 129,173.S9 ounces Of silver in
the bullion.
The mining report for the week
discloses the usual interesting fea-
lures. The Victor shaft has not
been entirely unwatered as yet, and
the measurements as to how far the
water has been lowered are not
available as yet. However, it should
not be long before the shaft is en-
tirely cleared of water, when re-
pair work on any damage that may
have been occasioned through the
flooding process will be started; and
upon the completion of hat work,
sinking will be resumed with all
possible speed.
Development work at the mine
made progress to the extent of 1872
feet, divided, 139 feet at the No. 2
shaft workings and 1913 feet in the
Victor territory.
At the No. 2 shaft section, on the
1260-foot level, a change in for
nation has been encountered in
406 crosscut, which, according to
last weeks report was proceeding
in Extension breccia. The face of
the crosscut during the present
week passed into West End rhyo-
lite. Raise 465 has been started in
the footwall of the vein, and since
being commenced has made the u.s.
ual rate of progress. A distance
of II feet was obtained in 406 east
drift, in which there is a showing
of 2 feet of milling grade ore.
Stopping on the Murray, the Mer-
ger and the o. X. veins at this level
continued without interruption. The
first named stope is proceeding
against an S-foot breast of milling
ore; so is the stope On the Merger
vein; and there has been no change
shown in the o. X. stope which con-
tinues to show a 3-foot width of
milling values.
On the 135O-foot level, $50 in
termediate west drift was put on
a further distance of Is feet on an
improved width of milling grade
ore. The orebody having widened
to 6 feet as compared with the s.
foot face previously reported. East
drift sos advanced 25 feet OIL low
grade quartz; the same showing is
reported in SAB raise, which was
put up an added height of Is feet
during the week; and 544 raise is
making good Roadway on a 5-foot
width of milling ore, the distance
made during the past week being
II feet.
The usual production work was
carried on at the Murray.
At the Victor shaft territory, on
the 144O-foot level, good progress,
amounting to 20 feet, was made in
advancing COZ east drift, which is
going out in low grade quartz.
Slightly better footage was obtained
in GOA east drift, which was en-
tended on a 4-foot face of milling
grade ore. There has been no
change shown in sos crosscut.
which made a footage of 81 feet IN
West End rhyolite.
On the 1540-foot level, the usual
progress was made in all the drift
and raise workings. West drift
1903, east drift 1904, west drift
1906 and raise 1913 are all max
ing Roadway in low grade quartz.
Stopping was continued at the
usual rate of extraction on the Muir
ray vein at this level, the width
and values remaining practically the
same as heretofore reported.
