be $30,021, resulting from the pro-
duction and treatment of S797 tons,
from which we're produced 1923
ounces of gold and Ill, sos ounces
of silver, earning the profit stated.
June earnings show almost a 40 per
cent increase over those of the pre-
ceding month, and the enhance
ment it not altogether due to the
rapid rise in the prices quoted for
the silver product. 1t is evident
from the figures hat a better grade
of ore is coming from the big Slopes
in the Extension proper and the
Victor workings, and it is the con-
fident expectations that improve
ment will be consistently shown
from now on, with chances for a
big excitement if the new workings
soon to be put under way on the
~16SO-foot level encounter the down
ward extension of the Murray. the
Merger and the new vein struck
in the shaft.
Cutting the station at the lowest
level is still in progress, and good
Roadway is being made. The sta
tion will be a double one, with
large sized compartments both
north and south of the shaft. While
no reports have been given out by
the management as to the imme-
date plans of the company, with
respect to exploration work, except
that a cross-cut is to be projected
in a southerly direction so as to
intercept the Murray vein on its
dip towards the Victor shaft, the
, cut on the other side of the shaft
presages considerable activity to-
ward the north, in which direction
the 14-foot vein encountered in the
shaft-sinking work some months
ago is dipping. The Extension COM
pany owns nearly a mile of ground
extending to the north OF the Vic
tor shaft, ranging from a third to u
halt mile and over in width. In he
event the new vein proves to be of
the anne size as when first en-
counteTed and contains good

West End Cons.
More extensive development work
is being projected on the big vein
It the California claim of the West
End Consolidated mining company,
formerly owned by the Ohio-TonO-
pah company. Cross-cuts and raises
are serving to block out the i'm
mense ore body and the slopes that
were started from the original
raises continue to furnish very sat
isfactory tOnnages. An excellent
rate of progress was made in cross
cuts SOB, SOC and SIP, with no
particular change in any of them.
Raise ST. is now in ore. having
struck the vein on Thursday.
Cross-cut $40 has been started
towards the west from 512 cross
cut. with the idea of making but a
short distance and then raising for
Stopping purposes. Cross-cut 500,
running southeast from 512, is a
new one, and will be continued for
an indefinite distance.
The recent decline in the price
of Cash Boy Shares is explained by
E. H. Mead, who returned from the
east yesterday, as due to a false
rumor Sent out to the eastern and
that the management is about to
declare an assessment. Mr.. Mead
stated that no such action is con-
templated, by virtue of the very
good reason that the shipments now
going out from the mine are amply
sufficient in value to provide the
company with plenty of funds with
which to carry on the plans of de-
velOpment.
No particular change has been
had at the Monarch-Pittsburg since
our last issue.
Another shipment will go for
ward Monday or Tuesday. Thus
far, these shipments consist of ore
coming from development work on
the 900 level. AS soon as a con-
n~ection is had with the $50 level
stopping will be in progress and it
is predicted that shipments will go
forward with regularity.
OF utmost Importance to the
properties lying in the central part
of the Tonopah district is the an
nounced plans of the Jim Butler
Tonopah Mining company to COM
mence active development and pros
pecting work from the 900-foot
level of the Desert Queen shaft to-
wards and into the Ophir King
ground, which property was acquir-
