degree the tonnage already demon

Tonopah Extension
On July first a change was made
in the personnel of the Tonopah
Extension Mining company's execu-
tive force, when Captain Alline
Case, who for a year past has been
in charge of the West Tonopah
Mining company, assumed the Of
flee OF superintendent of the first
named company. Captain Case
succeeds John G. Kirchen, who
within a couple of years after the
1907 panic, brought the Exten-
sion to a point where it ranked
as one of the big mines of Tono-
pah.
Under the new management, it
is certain that the mine will show
the same degree of progress that
has been one of the chief features
of the regular weekly reports of
the Extension; and acting in con-
junction with Mr.. Kirchen, who
retains his position as general man.
ager, the greatest expectations are
held u hat the big orebodies
which have been the source of
wealth for the company, will be To-
cotnI onl Iavn1AnnI Of cfiI1 nroof-
er depths than are anticipated at
the present writing, when the cut
ting of a station at the 16SO-foot
level is in progress.
Homer Williams, who has been
connected with the Extension for
a long time takes Captain Cases
place as superintendent of the
West Tonopah, down on the flat,
and has an exceedingly good
chance to develop a big mine at
that property. Like all the other
western-section properties, the
West Tonopah has had a consider
able amount of trouble with water,
but with the arrival of adequate
equipment in the way of power
and pumps. this should be shortly
overcome.
Manhattan NJ. and NJ. Co.
The raise toward the orebody is
still making good progress at tie
MacNamara Mining and Milling
company, but up to the time of 90
ing to press the orebody has not
been reached.
j. l.. Joseph, president of the COM
pany, arrived in Tonopah several
days ago on one of his inspection
visits to the property.
Work is going right along in the
Halifax Tonopah without any SER
interruption. The big square
set stope is rapidly being filled witt.
the waste from the development,
work, and conditions on the 1900
foot level will oon be such that
production may again be made from
the vein. Nothing new has bceI
developed through the forwardin&
of the various laterals and raises.
The final cleanup for June at
the West End Consolidated mill
resulted in the shipment of 50 bars
of bullion, weighing 55,034 oun-
ces. At the present prices for sill
YER, the bullion is worth approx
mately 500 per ounce; there
fore, the shipment will enrich the
treasury of the West End com
pany to a corresponding amount.
Cash Boy Consolidated
Except for the interruption
caused by the occurrence of the
Fourth of July holidays, n%ecessi-
tating a stoppage of two days, the
new work on the 1625-foot level
of the Cash Boy progressed at a
most satisfactory rate. The winZe
station work has been completed,
and the drifting along the strike
of the ledge both ways from the
winze, is in progress. Superin-
tendent Dooley demonstrated, at
the bottom of the winze, that the
ledge was at least II feet wide,
but as yet the footwall has not
been reached. 1t has not been pos
sible so far t determine the width
of the vein. but as soon as the
drifts have reached a sufficient dis
lance from the WinZe station a
cross-cut will be started to as
certain this fact.
Monarch-P ittsburg
Ore was encountered in the new
cross-cut off the 1925 raise of the
MISUNDERSTANDING this morning
The vein is 20 inches in width and
a special assay ran this morning
taken across it's entire width gave
a return of SCI. 1t is not known
as yet whether or not this is the
same vein as followed down in
the winze from the $50 level. Ac-
cording to projection, the cross
cut should be driven between 40
and 80 feet before tapping the
