TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

1900 tons, the Tonopah Extension
23SO tons. the Jim Butler 700 tons.
the West End 1870 tons. the Res
cue 1872 tons, the Montana SO tons.
and the North Star "a tons, making
the total production for the week
9l17 tons. the estimated value We
ing S164.106. This valuation is
calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
The last shipment made by the
Tonopah Mining company of Ne
vada from its plant at Millers, for
warded on the 18th instant to the
smelters, is the largest that has
been made for many months. There
were 90 oars in the consignment
and the value placed upon the ship
ment, according to the conserva-
tive estimate of the management. is
$161,S0O.
The shipment is the first that
has been made since the early part
Of May, at which time there were
55 bars sent to the smelter. with a
valuation put upon the shipment of
$4,000. Following the cleanup
during the first part of May. the
old furnaces we're replaced with
new ones. and in the Interim the
product of the mill piled up until
the new equipment was installed
and it was possible to make a melt.
This was accomplished last week.
and the shipment was forwarded on
Saturday.
The production for May was very
nearly up to the April record. when
100 bars of bullion were shipped to
the smelters. and an estimated val
uation of $16S,150 was given to
them. Such returns as have been
made in the last two months are
ample proof that the Tonopah Min
ing company is still in good physi-
cal shape, wen after an enormous
production lasting for 16 years,
and over. The new work now
under way in the old Merger
ground, acquired by the company
last year. is apt to bring the To-
nopah Mining company again to the
fore, the possibilities in tina terri
tory, as demonstrated by the sensa-
tional developments of the old To-
nopah Merger company. being of
extraordinary character.
The acquisition of the outside
properties by the Tonopah Mining
company, nearly every one of which
is proving up successfully, will of
course keep the company in exist
ence long past the average life of
a mining company. Reports just re-
ceived from the Eden Mining com
pany at Nicaragua state that the
initial shipment of gold from the
mill has been made, consisting of
1161 of fine gold.
TOnOpah Extension
On last Wednesday, the directors
of the Tonopah Extension Mining
company appropriated $685. 900 as a
subscription to the Liberty Loan
bonds of 1917, and wired the Ne
vada First National Bank of Tono-
pah to that effect. That has result
ed in putting the subscriptions of
the Tonopah district well above the
$500, 900 mark. the actual figures
by the banks. making the total
$525,SO
No other factor could demon
strate more clearly the spero
condition of the mines in Tonopah
and in the nearby district. The
steady output of the mines has been
disturbed only at frequent in
tervals and the tremendous produc-
ton thai followed the advent of
the railroad into Tonopah has been
maintained at a consistent rate ever
since. One mine may. for a tenn
porary perior. suffer a depreciation
OF visible results, but to
safe for that loss. another mining
property in the vicinity invariably
comes into the limelight with ex-
ceptional showings hal keep the
average production and results up
to the well-established standard of
Tonopah.
Ihere is every possibility that
the Tonopah Extension will achieve
greater fame by virtue of its work
at greater depth than it has ever
achieved, Notwithstanding the ire
mendous orebodies that were open
ed on the 1540-foot level and
above. In addition to the develop
ec veins, hat have furnished an
average of owe 1850 tons for the
past year to keep the mill. with
it's added batteries. busy the pro-
perry possesses unlimited POSSIBLE
ties. demonstrated as a fact in at
least one part of the mine by the
sinking of the Victor shaft, which
"a started last year.
TOnOpah Belmont
The Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company reports that it's op-
erations during the month of May
resulted in net earnings of $685.
