ing 215O tons, the Tonopah Extern
sion $3.50 tons, the Jim Butler $50
tons. the West End S45 tons, the
Rescue 255 tons, the Midway so
tons. the Montana 60 tons, the North
Star SO tons, and the Cash Boy 80
tons, making the total production
for the week 946S tons, the esti-
mated value being $175,15S. The
valuation is calculated on the gross
milling value of the ore.
The final cleanup for April at the
milling plant of the Tonopah Min
ing company at Millers resulted in
the shipment on May sth of 80
bars of bullion, whose estimated
valuation is given at $4,000.
The figures speak more eloquent
" than words of how the opera
tions at the mine and mill have re-
suited, and the earnings of the
when the figures are
available for publication, will un-
doubtedly show a corresponding
handsome increase over those that
have been reported in the preceding
months of this year.
The report for the week, so far
as the development work is con-
cerned, shows that these operations
were carried on only in the Silver
Top territory. No work of this
character was continued or under
taken in the Mizpah or the Sand
grass claims, where usually quite
satisfactory footages were made
weekly, This is accounted for at
the latter portion of the cOmpany's
property by reason of the fact that
the preparatory work at the head of
the Wine which formerly had been
sunk by the old Tonopah Merger
Mining company is now underway.
During the week, the work of COM
p%leting the station was finished,
and o the company is busy on the
installation of the hoist and the
putting in of the chieve wheel and
skip bucket at the head of the
winze. When this equipment shall
have been completely installed,
which will undoubtedly be within a
few days, the work of cleaning out
the Wine, unwatering it, and then
the actual sinking work will COM
mence and be continued actively.
Over at the Mizpah claim, there
was no development work done
during the week, all the efforts of
the company having been confined
to stepping on the vertical n the
MiZpah veins at the 4th and 9th
levels. The total footage for the
week was 113, all performed at the
Silver Top workings on the first,
second, fifth and sixth levels. At
some points, work was discontinued
because the objective points of the
respective workings had been at
headings, operations were resumed
on some fairly promising indica-
tions.
TOnOpah Extension
A much bigger shipment of bull
lion was made from the TonOpah
Extension Mining company's mill
as a result of the final cleanup in
April than was reported as a con-
sequence of the treatment of the
ore during the first b~i-weekly period
in hat month. The last shipment
was made on Thursday, May 10th,
and consisted of "a big bars hav-
ing a total weight of 69,S00 ounces
The gold-silver contents of the
bars are estimated to have an APP
proXimate valuation of $4,000,
which denotes quite an improve
ment over the first shipment in
April, when 81 bars. weighing So
065 ounces, and worth in the neigh
borhood of $53,06S.50, were shipped
on the Goth of that month, as tho
product of the first cleanup in
April.
General Manager John G. Kir-
chen left for the east or Thursday
to attend the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Extension COM
pany, which has been set to be
held on May 18th. The annual re-
ports will be submitted to the
stockholders at that time.
Development work at the local
property is proceeding along the
we'll laid-out plans of the company,
and every working face is reported
to have progressed in a manner en-
tirely satisfactory to the manage
ment. The footages amounted to
just about the same figures reported
IN last weeks report. there being
but / foot difference in the work
performed during the respective
periods. Most of the work has been
in the nature of development or
opening up of attractive looking
showings that may within the near
future make into substantial ore
