Local operations are proceeding
along the same vigorous lines that
have always been a feature of the
company's reports.
TonOpah-BeImont
The stimulating factors in the sill
yer market insure greatly to the
prosperity of Tonopah. and the Bel
mont company, with the largest
production in the camp, profits di-
rectly in ratio to it's output.
General Manager Frederick Brad
shaw left this week for a trip of
inspection to the Surf Inlet mine
the mill is in the final stages of
completion, more than ordinary in
terest is attached to the reports of
progress of construction and de-
velopment at the property.
At the local property, the routine
work is being done in faithful ac-
cordance with the plans of the
company's engineers. The only
new piece of work attempted dur
ing the week was on the eighth
level. where a drift to the east has
beer started on the South vein
after it had been intersected by a
new cross-cut sent out in a north
erly direction. There was no work
18th, 18th, 18th and 18th levels,
all the exploration and develop
ment work having been done on
the Sth, 9th, 10th, 18th and in
termediate levels.
On the first mentioned or 800
foot level, 800 north cross-cut made
its usual good distance in prospect
ing for other veins. This cross-cut
went through the Shoestring vein
a couple of weeks ago, and is now
being carried ahead to explore the
block of ground lying ahead of it.
East drift 8O05 is a new working,
going out from 1904 north cross
cut on the South vein after the lat
ter had located the orebody.
West End Cons.
The tenth annual report of the
West End Consolidated Mining
company, which was mailed to the
stockholders this week, furnishes
interesting reading, not alone to it's
stockholders. who are directly in
terested, but to persons interested
in the mining and milling business
generally. A copy of the report
was given to The Miner. The re-
perusal. With a surplus of $780,
$50 the West End is in excellent
position to maintain it's place
among the active mining companies
of the west, able to take advantage
of the many opportunities hat are
now opening up in the mining
industry in the west.
No work was done, that is, so
far as development is concerned,
in West End territory proper, dur
ing the past week, all the activi-
ties of the company in this part of
the mine being devoted to stopping.
The Jim Butler
Shipments from the Jim Butler
Tonopah Mining company to the
Belmont Milling company's plant at
MillerS during the last two weeks
in June were fully up to the nor
output from the mine. The
mill. according to the report is
by the TonOpah Belmont De-
velopment company, has forwarded
to the smelters a shipment of 26
bars of bullion and "a tons of con-
c~entrates. At the present price of
silver, the bullion is worth $4S,S26
and the concentrates $1,000, or a
total of $5S.436. The bulk of the
ore milled at the Millers plant
comes from the Jim Butler, which
will profit accordingly as it's ship
ments are in proportion to the two
weeks reduction operation.
An important piece of develop
ment work has been under consid-
by the company at the deep
level in the Desert Queen por-
ton of the mine. that is, at the
uepln.
North Star Mine
The North Star mine is making
rapid Roadway in opening up the
veins in it's territory. A raise is
going up from 1859 stope on quite
a good bunch of ore, which is high
grade in spots. The regular prog
ress was made on the hanging wall
side of the North Star fault, and
last week a small vein, about II
inches in width. was cut. A drift
has been started on the vein to-
wards the northeast. which is the
direction the vein is taking, and
soon as the drift is we'll under
the cross-cut will be resumed
and will be used to prospect the
ground lying ahead.
