With regard to the mining oper-
ations al the Tonopah Mining COM
,eany local property, there have
been no exceptional changes of n
kind within the week just passed,
though the footage record, as COM
pared with that of the previous
week, was somewhat higher. Pro-
duction operations continue with
undated energy, and it is evident,
from the tonnages that have been
sent to the mill in the month of
November, that the 11.4OO ton
! record of the previous month will be
surpassed.
In addition to the volume OF ore
yielded by the veins in the several
sections of the property, where stop
ing is going on, the company contin-
ues to take from the ore dumps
large quantities of ore that now re-
turns a profit from treatment oper-
ations. So far this month, the COM
pany has sent to the Millers plant
1850 tons of ore, from slopes and
dumps, as against the following
figures for October:
Number dry tons milled, 11,400;
average value per ton, $9.43; GUN
ces gold and silver bullion shipped,
$3.50; total value of bullion,
$1OO,45O; net profit for October,
S17,O75.
The report of mill operations for
the week ending Nov. 18th, shows
that an average of 81 stamps were
kept dropping and that $3.50 tons
CT ore, of the average value OF
$3.50 we're put through the mill.
The total amount of development
work performed during the past
week was 239 feet. The Silver Top
workings accounted for "a feet OF
this total; 26 feet of underground
work was done in the Red Plume
Fart of the mine, operated through
the Mizpah shaft; and in the Sand
grass territory, the various work
ings were driven ahead for an ag-
gregate footage of 1923, making the
grand total of 239 feet, as stated
above.
In the Silver Top portion of the
mine, on the End level, drift 234
was advanced the usual distance on
the South Dipping vein, which has
become narrower during the week.
The drift is following a smaller
streak of quartz. Raise ESQ, on
the same vein, which was started
last week, Immediately west of the
Silver Top shaft, to prospect some
ground above the level, is still
making good Roadway on a streak
of quartz measuring about a foot
in width.
TOnOpah Extension
Twenty-one bars of bullion were
produced by the Tonopah Exten-
sion Mining company after it's last
cleanup, the entire lot weighing
43,675 ounces. Upon the shipment,
which was made on the 18th in
stat, the company has placed a
valuation of 41,300.
Figures for October are as fol-
lows: Number dry ton milled'
1898; number ounces gold bullion
produced, S35.915; number ounces
silver bullion produced, S~2,725.23;
net profit for October, $13,2SS.
The leading feature of the week
ly report at the Extension is en-
braced in the items showing the
extension of development work at
the 16SO-foot level, the deepest in
the mine, to thoroughly explore the
Merger vein on it's east and west
course and determine its POSSIBLE
tiles.
The fact that the south cross-cut
from the shaft, when being driven
to intersect the vein systems of the
Extension, cut through the vein and
opened up excellent values clear
across it's entire width, has, as
pointed out by DR.. M. r. Ward, pre-
sident of the Tonopah Extension, on
the occasion of his recent visit, de-
monstrated that the lowest workings
of the mine are in a zone or en-
