above %. u, is
ing satisfactorily. and it is probable
that the mill will be in operation
during the month of August. as
estimated by the management in
the annual report sent out to the
Belmont stockholders. Development
work on the Pugsley mine, adjoin-
ing the Surf Inlet property. is be-
ing continued under the option Sc
cured by the Belmont company, to
open up the ore and. determine
whether the option agreement shall
be exercised by the time it ex-
pires, namely. May list. 1918.
The other mines belonging to the
company outside of the state of Ne
vada, the Eagle-Shawmut, in Toul-
omne county. California, and the
Emma gold mine. in Dolores coun-
ty, Colorado, are also making salts
factory progress in their Develop
ment work: while at the drilling
operations on what are known as
the East Tonopah properties, upon
which the Belmont company took
options last year. there has been
no change reported.
Jim Butler Mine
Advance figures given out by the
local management of the Jim But
Ter Tonopah Mining company shows
that the mine has maintained it's
splendid average of production and
earnings during the month of May
as it has done for the proceeding
four months of the present year.
The May profits, which amounted
to S44,136.14, are greater than the
average for the previous months of
1917, and we'll above those of the
monthly periods of former years.
The January, February, March and
April earnings of the company
amounted to $147,S2O.72, and with
Mays profits added, the company
has earned this year $191, 956.S6.
Mining operations were prosecut-
ed with the usual diligence during
the week and the report shows that
practically the same conditions
exist in the development work and
prospecting that is being carried
forward.
Regular progress Is reported by
prospecting operations at the Miz-
pah Extension ground. There has
been no change shown in the cross
cut to the northeast on the 1000
foot level, which is being extended
towards the contact.
Cash Boy Consolidated
While the extensive development
work planned for the Cash Boy has
been somewhat retarded by virtue
of the Wine from the 14SO-foot
level being filled with water, it is
gratifying, indeed. to know that
substantial shipments have been
made regularly, and that the ore
has been exceptionally high in val
ues. The management reports that
the last carload of ore shipped was
the highest grade taken from the
mine during it's history of opera
lions.
Considerable improvement is be-
ing shown at the Monarch Pitts
burg mine, where high grade orc
is being extracted from a Wine this
week on the S50-foot level. At the
point where the Wine was started
Rescue-Eula Company
The report for the week shows
that development work at the Res
cue has proceeded unlnterruptedly
and that the Wine that is being
sunk from the 1050-foot level has
now reached a depth of 80 feet.
1t is being sunk partly on the foot
wall and partly on the vein. The
Wine as it goes down is carrying
with it about 5 feet of the vein
which breaks as splendid ore. The
vein in all is about s or 9 feet
wide.
The east drift on the 952 level
is making good Roadway on "a l.
foot vein that is highly mineralized.
and what might be termed as low
grade ore. The management reports
hat in accordance with eXpecta-
tons the vein has improved consid-
erably with each weeks develop
ment. and that commercial ore
might be encountered before the
drift is advanced a great distance.
The raise going up from the
120O-foot level at the HalifaX-To-
nopah Mining company, designated
as No, 1850. made good Roadway
during the week in Midway ande-
site. AS in this work the condi-
tons in the other exploratory work
are practically identical with pre-
vious weeks. 1854 cross-cut and
1855 cross-cut being in trachyte.
West End Consolidated
The most interest in the West
End Consolidated Mining company's
operations in Tonopah continue to
be centered at the Ohio shaft work
ings. All the raises which have
