Butler 1850 tons, the West End
Ills tons, the MacNamara 400 tons,
the Montana SO tons, the Rescue 12S
tons, the Cash Boy 55 tons, and
miscellaneous AZ tons, making the
total production for the week 10,57S
tons, the estimated value being
$1S5,115. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value of
the ore.
DR.. NJ. R. Ward, president of the
Tonopah Extension Mining company,
and heavily interested in other min
ing enterprises in Nevada. has been
spending the week in Tonopah and
Manhattan, having as a guest Dexter
Fairbanks of Chicago. DR.. Ward,
after making several trips to the
deepest level in the Extension mine
to view the progress hat is being
made in the cross-cut that lately en-
countered the downward extension
of the Merger vein, expressed his
qualification of the new discovery.
The Extension mill completed it's
first cleanup for the month of Oc-
tober early this week, with the re-
suit that there was shipped to the
smelters in California 20 bars of
bullion having an aggregate weight
of 41,919 ounces Upon this ship
ment the company has placed a valu-
alton of $4,000.
The extension OF development
work during the week resulted in
the addition of 22O feet to the thou
sands of feet of underground work
ings in the mine. To make up the
total as given. the No. 2 shaft terri
tory is credited with 50 feet, and
the Victor shaft portion of the mine
with 1875 feet.
With the exception of one face,
all the development and exploration
workings show practically the same
conditions as were contained in last
weeks report, while as for the stop
ing operations, only slight changes
have been observed, the veins hav-
points and increased over previous
records in other stopping places. The
Merger, the O.. X. and the Murray
vein were each worked On the sew
eral different levels in the mine, and
the result was that the usual produc-
ton was made.
TOnOpah Mining Co.
The report for mill operations for
the week ending October goth, shows
that an average of 70 stamps were
kept dropping and that 245O tons
of ore, of the average value OF
$3.50 were put through the mill.
The detailed weekly report OF
progress is as follows:
In Silver Top territory, on the
14O-foot level, the raises from the
crosscut which were started several
weeks age to reach the waste
dump lying overhead on the sur
face, have been completed, extraor-
binary progress having been made
in the last couple of weeks. In
fact, over half of the footage credited
to the Silver Top part of the mine
was done in the two raises. The
final long rounds were fired during
the week, breaking into the bottom
of the waste dump, thereby allowing
the waste material to flow into the
chutes and later permitting the
work of filling the old slopes to be
started. This work is now well un-
der way.
On the 24O-foot level. a raise has
been started into an old stope west
of the shaft, going up from an old
cross-cut lying beneath. The raise
is intended to break through into
this stope and then used for the con-
veyance of filling for the w~orked-out
Slope situated in the vicinity of the
new vein, which it is necessary to
fill before attempting stopc work on
the vein.
On the 340-foot level a fair rate
of progress was registered in east
drift 377, which continues to be
driven on the small streak CT quartz.
Average values are contained in the
vein. which is becoming narrower,
according to the latest report, CIV
ing evidence of splitting up into
small stringers. Some new work has
been started on this level, consist
ing of a drift in the footwall OF the
Silver Top vein in the extreme west
erly part of the workings. In the race
of the drift there is now disclosed a
