rent company, at Tonopah and
Nillers, Nevada. amounted, in point
OF valuation, to approximately
$166,742.3O. The separate ship
ents were as follows: From the
1onopah plant, one lot, consisting
of 46 bars of bullion, weighing
S4.J24 ounces, and another lot of
. bars, weighing 4,606 ounces, to-
gether with 81 on of concentrates.
The large lot, on the present sill
yer quotations. has an approximate
valuation of $~92,756.40 and the
smaller lot, s5,066.60 These
items, coupled with the concentrates
which are valued at $1,000, make
the total value of the shipment
from the Tonopah mill amount to
SLOPES.
From Millers there was sent for
ward % bars of bullion and 81
tons of concentrates. The bars of
bullion had a total weight of 40
100 ounces, and is valued at $44,-
1890. Added to the concentrates,
which are worth approximately the
same as the Tonopah concentrates,
of $12,40O, the Millers consignment
has a valuation of $56,519.90.
The two mills, therefore, show
an output, after treatment and re-
filming, of about $166,742.30, the re-
suit of two weeks operations at the
price of silver constantly rising, the
value of the bars of bullion in
succeeding shipments will make cor
responding advances.
Z De, elopment work at the mine in
Tonopah. as contained in the Of
fetal report for the week, was as
follows:
Al the Belmont shaft, on the in
~termediate below the 600-foot level,
the vest drift from $50 raise holed
into some older workings on the
South vein, and has succeeded in
~opening up a nice block of ore that
* Of good commercial quality.
On the 70O-foot level, the inter
mediate east drift from the south
cross-cut, going off the west drift
from raise 2, demonstrated the
vein to have an average width OF
2 feet, and to carry fair grade ore.
On the S00-foot level, east Drift
5000 from north cross-cut, 1904,
proceeding along the South III,
arGNed a substantial improvement
in the width of the ore body as
compared VITA the previous week,
wren the vein had decreased from
a full face to about = feet. At the
present working face. the ore is be-
ing broken down from a 3-foot
width, and continues to be classed
as fair grade.
A better showing has also been
made in west drift S,OO9 from
northwest cross-cut S96, On the new
vein encountered last week. From
the 6-inch width reported as found
at the point of intersection, the
vein has widened until it is now
~ feet across The values are
sufficiently good to make the ore
of milling grade. There was no
work done during the week in the
east drift on the new vein.

Conditions in the Wine from the
154O-foot level of the Cash Boy
Consolidated Mining company have
improved to such an extent that
during the week the company com
pleted arrangements for the further
sinking of the Wine below the
present lateral working point.
The Wine is being sunk on the
hanging wall side or the vein, and
at the 16S0-foot depth, of 23O feet
below the 1450-foot main level
the deepest laterals in the mine
have been run, both on the foot
wall and the hanging wall sides, with
raises connecting this level with
the one Immediately above. Very
satisfactory tonnages have been
blocked out by means of these
raises, on both sides of the ledge,
and at the present time develop
ment work is being continued on
the 16S0-foot level, in a westerly
direction from the shaft, for the
purpose of opening up the vein to
as great a length as possible. Now,
supplementing the lateral work, the
company has begun active sinking
operations in the Wine, with an in
definite objective point in view,
this depending mainly on the water
conditions encountered as the inclin-
ed shaft reaches further depths.
