DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

Mining $500 tons, the Tonopah Ex-
tension $3.50 tons, the Jim Butler
$50 tons. the West End 1908 tons,
the MacNamara 500 tons, the Hall
fax 50 tons, the Montana IA tons,
the Cash Boy 100 tons, and mis-
cellaneous 81 tons, making the total
production for the week 1908
tons, the estimated value being
$176,62S. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value of
the ore.
The Tonopah Mining company
continues to put forth extra efforts
in the matter of shipping it's ores
from Tonopah to it's reduction plant
at Millers, the rate of shipments
averaging we'll over $500 tons per
week. There is still available. ow-
ing to the good prices being paid
for silver at the present time, large
tCnnages of ore on the dumps,
which the company is mixing with
the higher grace ores from the
Slopes hat are being worked in the
several sections of the mine, and
the whole mass makes profitable
product.
There is very little shown in the
way of new conditions at any por-
ton of the mine. Development and
exploration work proceeded at a
fairly satisfactory rate, 1914 feet of
such work having been performed
during the week, divided among two
sections of the mine,-the Silver
Top and the Sandgrass, in the pro-
portions of 81 feet and 127 feet,
respectively.
The report of mill operations for
the week ending Nov. 10th, shows
that an average of 81 stamps were
kept dropping and that 200 tons
o. ore, of the average value of
$1,000 were put through the mill.
III ueIdllcu ICpOll VI NpCid'ioho
for the week is as follows;
At the Silver Top shaft workings,
on the 240-foot level, drift 234
continues to follow the South Dip
ping vein, which at the present
working point, is disclosing a j.
foot width of quartz. which carries
low values. Conditions are salts
factory enough, in the opinion of
the management, to entitle the
showing to further prospecting, and
this work will be prosecuted for an
indefinite period.
A raise has been started from
this level to prospect a block OF this
vein above the drift, and the new
raise, which is designated as No.
2GO, is now making good Roadway.
It is located Immediately west of
the Silver Top shaft, and while this
portion of the vein has seldom
made ore as low as the 24O6-foot
level, it has been developed in for
mer years and shown satisfactory
values to exist a few feet above the
elevation mentioned.
Belmont
The fair weather prevailing at
the present time has been of great
aid to the Belmont in expediting
the construction work at the mill,
which is intended to add to the re-
duction plants facilities for the re-
ception and handling of ores from
the Jim Butler and other companies
with which the Belmont company
has made arrangements for the
treatment of their ores The trestle
work for the belt c%onveyor from the
lower bins to those which will be
erected to allow the ore to flow by
gravity into the mill, is about COM
pleted.
The local property is in a flour
ishing condition due in large meas

plans laid out by the company's
corps of engineers. Some new
blocks of ground have been opened
up within the past few weeks, and
in several instances large blocks OF
ore have been developed.
A notable illustration is found
in the several past weekly reports
concerning the showing made in
what is known as raise II, extend
ing from the sill of S,005 east drift
on the S0O-foot level. With each
weeks advancement the top of the
raise toward the next upper level,
it has proceeded entirely in ore of
excellent grade, and at the last
writing is reported to have con-
tinued during the week just passed
