$3.50 tons, the Jim Butler $50 tons,
the West End 953 tons, the Rescue
252 tons, the Montana SO tons, the
Cash Boy so tons, and the MacNa-
mara 3S tons, making the total pro-
duction for the week S61S tons, the

The local property of the Tono-
pah Mining company was visited
during the week by Gov. Charles
r. Miller of Delaware, who has
been identified with the company al
most since it's beginning, and j. E.
Spur, vice president and advising
engineer. Governor Miller in speak
ing of the trip which he, in com
pany with other officials of the min
ing company, made to the Eden Min
ing company's property in Nicara-
qua, early in the year, said that the
mining and milling operations were
going on in as satisfactory a man
ner as coulG pe hoped for and iil:t
the only deterrent factor against
complete success vas the necessity
for adjustments in the power plant
where it was found that tue gener-
ators were ''robbing" each other
and were not furnishing their re-
spective capacities of power.
However. this is now being "e-
NEEDED. and within a short time
the entire plant will be running as
smoothly as could be desired. 1t
is Governor Miller's intention to
visit the Canadian properties OF
the company, situated in Manitoba,
going by way of Skagway, and he
and Mr.. Spur left TonOpah on
Thursday mornings train for San
Francisco. The properties in Can
ada, consisting of the Mandy Min
ing company, and the Brutus Min
ing company, are controlled by the
Tonopah Canadian Mines company,
which in turn Is controlled by the
Tonopah Mining company to the
extent of 80 per CEN of its issued
capital stock.

lion to the smelters will again be
