the West End 112S tons, the Mac
Namara 40 tons, the Montana 116
tons, the North Star sc tons, and
miscellaneous 46 tons, making the
total production for the week 1O,O61
mill 1865 tons, the Tonopah Mining
tons. the estimated value being
S176,OG7. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value of
the ore.
The Tonopah Belmont Develop
met company reports the shipment
from it's two milling plants as fol
lows: From the Tonopah mill, 2S
bars of bullion, weighing 1852
ounces, and 81 tons of concentrates;
from the Millers plant, 10 bars OF
bullion, weighing S2,71S ounces.
The estimated valuation given to
the shipment is $62 ,166.10 for the
bullion ard $12,15O for the concen-
trates shipped from Tonopah, and
S~34,35S.9O for the bars which were
sent forward to the shelters by the
Millers mill. The aggregate valua-
ton of the shipment, therefore, is
$9S,670, which is the result of 'the
first cleanup in November, the
shipment having been made early
this week.
On the 700-foot level of the Bel
mont, east drift 721 was continued
at the usual rate of advance, and
showed an improvement in width OF
vein during the week, it having wild
ened from the one and a half foot
face reported last week to three feet
at the present extremity of the drift.
The values have been consistently
maintained, good grade ore being
broken in development work. This
drift is on the Shoestring vein and
runs from 72O north cross-cut.
Operations were continued in
raise No. 5, off go west cross-cut.
until it had reached a sufficient
height above the elevation of the in
termediate level lying between this
and the 6O0-foot level, w~hereupon
the raise was discontinued and the
crew of men put to work in the east
drift from raise %, which will be
driven ahead until it connects with
raise No. 5. Good Roadway has been
made in the drift since being start
ed up.
On the S00-foot level, east drift
S015, from south cross-cut SO15, on
the South vein, made the usual prog
ress after being resumed, and con-
tinues to show a two-foot width of
low grade. Going out in the oppo-
site direction, west drift SOLO, from
the same southeast crOss-cut, is also
advancing at a steady rate, and so
far as it has been driven it has dis
closed practically the same cali
lions as found in the east delft,
namely, a two-foot width of ore
that is of rather low grade.
In east drift 5000, which is DeinE
driven from SS4 north cross-cut,
along the new vein, the only change
of decreasing value in the ore, which
is now classed as low grade. The
vein is still about the same width as
reported previously; that is, about
one foot, and the regular progress IS
reported to have been made in eX-
tending the face of the drift.
The purpose of northeast cross
cut S013, running from the east drift
on the Occidental vein. vas con
summated when it cut the segment
of the South vein for which it vas
being driven. At the point of in
tersection the vein is about 10 inches
wide and the vein material disclosed
is badly broken up and faulted.
TOnopah EXtensoa
In line with the splendid dese.r,>-
ments hat have occurred in h 10
nopah Extension mine at the 1850
foot level. where the company is Wig
orously exploring the Merger vein,
the first of the series of veins en-
conferred by the south 4 cut is
the showing that has been d;c'osnd
in the Wine which was recently
started from the 154O-foot level. Ur
To yesterday the miners had lowered
the winze 20 feet below the sill
floor of the Murray vein at the 1910,
and the entire distance has been
made in ore that is more than double
the value of the ordinary millheads
of the Tonopah district.
The demonstration proves unques-
~tionably hal the gigantic Murray
vein preserves all it's strength and
richness with depth. a condition that
was predicted by every mining man
of note who had an opportunity to
