T0NOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

have been suspended temporarily in
SOS east drift from 500 northwest
cross-cut, but the usual progress
was made in 500 west drift, which
is going out on the Shoestring vein
in a direction opposite to the first
named drift. until a fault was n
countered. The drift was thereupon
turned into a cross-cut and is now
engaged in locating the faulted seq
ment of the vein. The face of the
crosscut is progressing in Mizpah
trachyte.
TOnopah Extension
The preliminary meeting of the
stockholders of the Extension COM
pany was held in New York on Fri
day last. All the rumors and re-
ports hat had been circulated in
late months. to the effect that there
was friction in the management
we're disproved by the fact that
The meeting, according to the ad-
vices received from New York, was
harmonious. The eastern reports
stated that the directors, at their
meeting on the day previous to the
stockholders preliminary meeting,
decided to pass the regular quarter
ly dividend.

sinking pump, for use at the Victor
shaft, has been received; and while
it has not yet been completely in
stalled it will be but a short time
when it will have been placed in
commission and then the troubles at
the Victor shaft, it is confidently
expected, will be ended.
A greater rate of advancement is
exploration work than has been
noted in the reports for the past
few weeks, the total for the period
covered by the present report
amounting to 262 feet. The No. 2
shaft workings were put out to
a further distance of 80 feet in the
aggregate, and 1t the Victor por-
ton Of the mine, $50 feet of work
was performed, making the total
given.
West End Consolidated
A visit to the Ohio shaft of the
West End Consolidated Mining COM
pany convinces one of the tremen-
dous possibilities hat still exist in
Tonopah. Think of a vein that has
been developed on it's length for
about 200 feet, with the raises go
ing through the vein showing it to
have a width of 33 feet in some
places, over II feet of that width
breaking into good milling grade
ore, considerably higher than the
average mill heads of TOnopah; and
some idea can be grasped as to the
Importance of the newest discovery
in the camp.
The Jim Butler
The Belmont mill at Millers ship
ped 26 bars of bullion, weighing
4S,919 ozs., which has a value of
approximately $4,000. The greater
part of this bullion was recovered
from ore shipped to the mill by the
Jim Butler Mining company. This
substantial shipment which is some
what in excess of the regular
monthly average, is an indication
of the efficient development work
that is being carried on in the Jim
Butler property.
The regular footage "a made in
all the working faces, and at the
Desert Queen shaft, on the 9th
level, sos east drift was extended
on II inches of low grade ore.
Buckeye-BelmOnt
The development of the Eagle
vein is being continued showing the
values to be increasing to the south
east, and it is expected to open a
large body of commercial ore very
shortly. Much of the vein matter
tina has already been passed
though it is not sufficiently high in
value to stand shipping and custom
milling. With the opening of high
err values to the southeast under the
Eagle claim it is expected that the
big veins of lower grade ores
through which the work has passed.
can all be graded into an immense
tonnage of commercial ore.
Cash Boy Consolidated
Conditions at the Cash Boy Con-
solidated Mining company's prop
erty in Tonopah are improving with
each successive week. Besides the
production that is being made at
regular intervals. the prospects are
that within a short time the pump
ing work in other properties near
by, which will soon be possible be-
