OF the acknowledgment Mines COM
pany, is proceeding satisfactorily.
Tonopah Extension
Since the previous report of opera
tions was issued by the Tonopah
Extension Mining company a much
better rate of progress has been
shown, not alone on the levels above
the 16SO-foot point in the Victor
territory, where the cross-cut has
been projected towards the south,
but on the bottom level itself.
Though still retarded to a great
extent by an excessive flow of wa
ter, the company was enabled to
extend the cross-cut a distance of
is feet in the footwall of the vein,
while the pumps at the bottom have
attended to the handling of the wa
ter. Together with the exploration
work that will be pushed as vigor-
ously as possible beyond the Merger
vein at this depth, so as to intersect
the downward extension of the o. X.
and the Murray veins, a great deal of
attention was given to the work of
the bottom level, wherein will be in
the recently-ordered centrifu-
gal pumps of MISUNDERSTANDING
capacity.
Upon it's arrival and installation
the company will have doubled it's
water-lifting capacity to about 700
gallons per minute, which is suffi-
ton occasioned by water, and will
permit the exploration and develop
ment of the deepest level without
hindrance or interruption.
Other difficulties, such as the
lack of power to run the pumps,
have been corrected by the installa-
ton of a steam-driven electric plant
to supplement the regular power
lines when any breakdown in the
delivery of power occurs, while the
Nevada-California Power company,
which supplies electrical energies for
all the mines of the camp, has also
finished its steam-driven supple
mentary plant.
The Merger vein, finally cut
through by the cross-cut on the
16S0-foot level, is fully six feet in
width.
Jim Butler Mine
The Jim Butler Tonopah Mining
company, in expanding it's scope OF
development in the Desert Queen
portion of the mine, has uncovered
another segment of the South vein,
which, from present indications,
gives every promise of showing the
same ample proportions that have
been manifested since the faulted
portion of the orebody was picked
up. This event occurred during the
present week, after the cross-cut
the 625 intermediate level, lying
above the 600-foot main level, had
reached a distance where it was
practicable to project the
raises into the ground
above for the purpose mentioned.
Monarch Pittsburg
A most encouraging development,
which has been disclosed in the last
few rounds in the raise from tn
level of the Monarch Pitts
burg, is the occurrence Of the real
ore-making %trachyte. Other
that resemble trachyte,
been encountered in the past.
but there has been nothing that
gives so much encouragement as
the present showing. Some values
high in spots, have been exposed
in the raise work, and the company
will redouble it's energies to deter
mine the Significance of the change
in conditions.
Cash Boy
The drifts on the 1700-foot level
of the Cash Boy Consolidated Min
ing company, One to the west along
the footwall vein, and the other to
the east on the contact, have each
been extended for about % feet
during the week, AMI ca
cellent grade of ore is showing il
both faces. The IRE that IS eN-
in the development work IS
being accumulated in the bias, ana
