ing 21O0 tons, the Tonopah Ex-
tension $3.50 tons, the Jim Butler
$50 tons. the West End 1918 tons,
the Rescue 1870 tons, the Mon
tana As tons, the Cash Boy 100
tons, the North Star 81 tons,
and miscellaneous So tons, making
the total production for the week
9139 tons, the estimated value be-
ing $169,O71. This valuation is
calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
The report of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company for
the present week averages up with
the splendid showing that marks
the successive weekly statements or
progress issued by the company.
The last shipment of bullion from
the Tonopah plant is confirmation
enough of the excellent condition
of the entire property.
The weekly report is as follows:
At the Belmont shaft, on the
70O-foot level, 720 west drift from
70S northwest cross-cut is following
along the Shoestring vein and while
the showing has decreased to about
10 inches, the ore still contains
values sufficient to encourage prose-
cution of the work. In east drift
1853, from 1913 south cross-cut, the
South vein has also narrowed some
what, the last report showing it to
be about 3 feet wide but still carry
ing good values.
On the S00-foot level, west drift
S99 from $50 northwest crOss-cut
is engaged in opening up the Shoe
string vein, has picked up the vein
again after going through a fault
and is now proceeding on a 2-foot
face of fair grade ore. There was
no other development work on the
level during the week.
Or the 900-foot level, a good rate
of advance was registered in 5000
northwest cross-cut, and finally ii
cut the Shoestring vein for which IL
had been prospecting. At the point

and while the values so far found
are rather low, there is every pos
sibility that they will improve with
further distance. Operations were
resumed during the week in 992
west drift from S24 north cross-cut
along the South vein, and the usual
distance was made on a 2-foot width
of medium grade ore. The work in
9S7 east drift, which was started up
again last week from 972 south
cross-cut at the point where the
latter working intersected the south
branch of the Mizpah Fault vein
has been productive of good results,
the vein having w%idened, since the
previous reports vas made, to 3
feet and has consistently shown
fair values in the ore. On the Res
cue vein, zoos west drift is contin-
uing to advance from 9O07 south
cross-cut, but the ven has continued
to narrow until at the time of writ
ing the report it was &c feet wide.
Tonopah Mining Company
The Tonopah Mining company,
through it's TonOpah office, an
scribe to 100000 of the Liberty
loan bonds. The local office took
the matter up with the officers of
the company at Philadelphia, and,
reinforced by requests from John
NJ. Gregory. cashier of the TOnopah
Banking Corporation and chairman
of the Liberty loan committee in
Tonopah, and others, has been en-
tirely successful in getting the sub
scription for the amount stated.
The arrangements will be made
through the local office.
Apropos of the comment arOus-
ed at the time that the last annual
report of the company was issued,
the following article, taken from
the Bluefields American of recent
date, will be of interest to those
whose faith in the company has
been largely responsible for its sue
cess:
Quietly n unOstentatiOusly an
other great mining enterprise has
been Tor the d|eVelOpnlen
of a field at some distance from the
present w~ell-known mining centers
which have been under operation
for years.
The center of the field now be-
ing developed by the new Tonopah
Nicaragua company is located at the
site of the old Santa Rita mine,
originally owned by w. ID. Parker, a
noted mining engineer who up to
the time of his death operated the
mine successfully. He made the dis
covery of great deposits of copper
sulphides and had the intention of
largely increasing his capital stock
to permit treating the ore in COM
bination.
