by the Extension company Tor use
at the Victor shaft, and which re-
Gently arrived, has been installed
FIR use at the Victor shaft and it
is now operating satisfactorily
Will the pump in commission, and
the new auxiliary electric plant well
under way, the progress of the work
leaving little doubt that the latter
equipment will be completely install.
I'd within a month, it is confidently
expected that there will be no fur
Their delays in lowering the Victor
shaft, where water troubles arose so
frequently in the past.
The shaft is now 1859 feet deep,
according to Mr.. Kirchen's report
submitted to the stockholders OF
the company at their preliminary
meeting on May 18th, and as Don
as the bottom is cleaned out, which
work will entail some delay, the
sinking work will be resumed and
within a short time the objective
point of the shaft, namely, 1900
feet, should be reached.
Following this, active exploration
and development work will be start
ed on the deepest working level of
any mine in the state, exclusive of
the old mines on the Comstock
where some of the mines have
worked at the 2900-foot depth.
West End Consolidated
The center of attraction at the
ILTaet ND Consolidated ATininu anrp-
pany is the development work that
is now under way at the Ohio shaft
section of the property. The series
of raises which have been put up
to tap the ore at different points
along it's course have succeeded so
raises stopping has been inaugurated
and a splendid tonnage is supple
menting the output from the West
End and the disputed sections OF
the property.
The strength of the vein, which
has been opened up by means of the
raises for about 200 feet, is the
best indication of it's continuity, and
there exists every possibility that
the remaining 1900 feet of the Cali
fornia claim, in which the vein has
been discovered and developed to the
present extent, will possess greater
possibilities than are at present
thought of. The Ohio shaft lies
almost in the exact center of the
California claim. according to the
survey maps of Tonopah, which
gives the West End company oppor-
tunity to develop the vein for the
entire length of the claim as well
as for nearly 800 feet acros the
width Of the claim, the vein lying at
an extremely flat angle.
Cash Boy Consolidated
In direct confirmation of the re-
pClt is that the value of the ore pro-
duceG from the Cash Boy Conso i
dated Mining company's property is
of better grade than is usually mill
ed in the Tonopah reduction plants,
the company during the past week
sent two carloads of ore to the
sampler at Hazen. The first car
left on Tuesday, and the other nj
was loaded yesterday,
The most important item conca:r-
ling the Cash Boy mine, accord .ng
to the weekly report, is that it has
again become possible to work il
the winze, which up to a short time
age had been flooded to just below
the Intermediate levels leading from
it. The pumping work in the ad-
ipining property has lowered the
water sufficiently to permit prepar-
ations to be made for the lateral
development of the vein from the
winze at points considerably lower
than theintermediate level where
development and stopping is now 60
ing on.
MacNamara Mine
The recent rise in the shares or
the MacNadmara Mining company
has been the source of widespread
interest in the mining world. Vari-
Gus rumors have been current for
some time-some to the effect that
there was a possibility of a consoli-
dation between the Rescue-Eula and
the MacNamara companies, which
would enable the latter company to
reopen it's mill for the treatment Of
it's own and the Rescue ores, as
we'll as to accommodate other mines
as a custom plant; others h a i'm
portant developments had taken
place in the MacNamara mine itself;
while still others, which are given
more credence than either of the
aforementioned rumors are to the
effect that the enhancement in the
value of the MacNamara stock is
due solely to the excellent possibili-
ties that the company possesses of
getting the extension of the big Ohio
vein, which has been one of the
biggest finds in Tonopah for sew
eral years and is still showing won
