compared with the previous weeks
report.
Tonopah Extension
The cleanup at the Tonopah Ex-
tension Mining company's mill and
the melting operations at the re-
finery for the final two weeks in
May resulted in the shipment dur
ing the week of 80 bars of gold
silver bullion. having a weight of
5000 ounce and a valuation of
approximately $4,000.
This indicates a considerable en-
hancement in the worth of the ship
ment as compared with that which
resulted from the first cleanup in
MAY, when 26 bars. weighing 3d.
$50 ounces. were shipped to the
smelters, and the estimated valua-
ton placed on them was $4,000.
The principal topic of news ema
mating from the Tonopah Extension
during the week has been the de-
cision of General Manager John G..
Kirchen to remove to Reno. where
he may better exercise supervision
over the affairs of the company and
allied interests, including the To-
onopah Extension mine, the Sprin-
ger Consolidated mine, in Butte,
county, California, the YerrGt1r
Mountain Copper company, at it's
Adelaide and Schurz mines, and the
Manhattan White Caps mine.
Besides returning the general
managership of these properties,
Mr.. Kirchen will continue as presi-
dent of the Nevada First National
Bank of Tonopah, which office he
has held for several years past.
Captain Alline Case, who has been
Superintendent of the West Tono-
pah Mining company since opera
tions were resumed in that proper
.ty early last year., will have active
charge of the Tonopah Extension.
while Homer Williams. who has
been connected with the Extension
engineering force, succeeds Captain
Case.
Cash Boy Consolidated
The effect of the pumping opera
tions in the Victor shaft of the
Tonopah Extension has been no
ticeable in the winze at the Cash
Boy mine, as at the last writing
the water had receded to within 25
feet of the bottom of the Wine
from the 14S0-foot level. With
the same rate of decrease ma;rtain-
ed, it will be but a short time,
probably only a few days, when
conditions will be such as to allow
of a resumption of work in the bot
tom of the Wine and the starting
at the lowest point in Tonopah,
that is, about 1925 feet.
The interest recently created in
the MacNamara Mining and Milling
company's operations was sustained
during the past week by eason
of the fact that work is progressing
toward the Ohio vein at the point
where it is expected to cross the
old California end line and enter
the MacNamara ground. Very good
progress is reported in driving the
exploration work but up to the
present time nothing out of the or
binary has developed. and the face
of the working is still being sent
ahead at the usual rate of speed.
The Buckeye-Belmont Mining
company continued to work to-
wards the east on the ~120O-foot
level, and progressed a distance of
90 feet during the week. The
cross-cut has now entered the hard
rib underlying the foOtwall of the
vein, showing the same condition
as where encountered at other
places where it has been opened
up previously.
North Star Mine
superintendent Lowe, in his
weekly report, states that the in
t~ermediates known as the 1875
have made the usual good progress,
while from the main stope. No.
1859, extraction work was carried
on. with the result that a carload
of ore was extracted and sent to
the mill. This shipment will be
contained in next weeks report by
the West End mill, eturns not be-
ing available at the present time.
The ore continues to be of very
good grade.
Usual progress is reported at the
Halifax Tonopah property. Raise
1850 is in Midway andesite; raise
, 1858 and cross-cut 1854 in trach-
yte; and some work was done in
1904 cross-cut. Conditions at the
latter place have improved percept-
IDLY since ventilation vas furnished
it. and it is expected hat from now
on the regular rate of progress will
be maintained.
MiZpah Extension
There has been no change o.
formation at the face of the cross
cut on the 1000-foot level of the
Mizpah Extension as yet. The US
