sion 1880 tons, the Jim Butler 500
tons, the West End 976 tons, the
Rescue 257 tons, the Montana 80
tons, and the Cash Boy SO tons.
making the total production for the
week 9493 tons, the estimated value
being s70.S74. This valuation is
calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
The main feature of interest at
the Tonopah Mining company dur
ing the past week has been the fact
that all the preparatory work at the
head of the old Merger winze has
been completed and sinking has
actually started. Up to the time
that the report was made, only a
short distance had been made in the
winze, but now that operations are
we'll under way this work will I'M
doubtedly make as good progress as
is customarily made by the COM
pany in other workings. No diff
Guilty on account of water is antici-
pated, it being pretty nearly estab-
lished beyond question that the
work performed in other properties
has drained the water courses in
the western part of the district to a
point equivalent to about the 1900
foot level in the Sandgrass claim.
The Wine, when operations under
the Merger management ceased, was
about So feet below the level desig-
mated at the 1900, but which is
about on the same plane as the
1150-foot level of the Sandgrass. 1t
is directly on the vein, and while
the values encountered so far are
small, there is every possibility that
deeper work will develop CONNER
cial ore in profitable quantities.
A total of 11S feet was made in
development work during the week.
OF this amount, 115 feet was per-
formed in the Silver Top portion of
the mine and 8 feet in the Merger
Wine. Some work has also been
started in an intermediate level off
the Merger winze, but up to the
time of going to press it had not
been measured, and this item will
be included in the succeeding re-
ports.
The report of mill operations for
the week ending May 10Th, shows
that an average of 65 stamps were
kept dropping and that POO tons
of ore were milled, averaging SIS in
value.
Stopping work at various parts of
the mine is going along at a very
satisfactory rate. The Silver Top
Slopes on the first, second, fifth
and sixth levels continue to produce
regular tonnages of good milling
grade ore: such is also the east at
the Mizpah claim; and there has
been little or no change shown in
the slopes on the 1140 and 1900
levels of the Sandgrass claim.
TonOpah Belmont
The Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company during the past
week made shipments from it's two
mills as a result of the bi-wekly
cleanup. From Millers, there was
ing 4S,919 ounces. and having a
valuation of s44,O27.1O. The mill
at Tonopah shipped 81 bars, which
weighed 96,393 ounces, and 35 tons
nf nnnnntratn Tho Shinn,nntC InCt
mentioned are worth in the neigh
borhood of $86,753.7O for the bull
lion and $4,000 for the concen-
trates. All told, the shipments have
an estimated valuation of $144,-
A continuation of the extremely
satisfactory conditions at the local
property is recorded in the current
mining report issued by the COM
pany. More than the ordinary
amount of development work was
performed on the 7th, 9th and 18th
levels, while at other depths, where
the company's development and ex-
ploration campaign for the finding
and the opening up of the vein sys-
TENS of the mine has been kept I'M
der way, there has been no abate-
ment of the energy shown by the
management in preceding weeks,
and the footage accomplished was
we'll up to the usual good average
reported weekly in The Miner.
On the 70O-foot level, there has
been no particular change in west
drift 72O, which is going out from
northwest vross-cut 70S for the pur-
pose of developing the Shoestring
vein. The ore showing consists of
1R feet of good ore, maintained
during the entire course of the
weeks work. A decrease in width
of the South vein at the present
face of 763 east drift, off 1853 south
cross-cut, is reported, the 6-foot
