TON0PAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

assembled to higher elevations on
the incline of the orebody, and at
the present writing the entire width
OF the raise,-six feet, discloses ore
OF the very good grade mentioned.
In another raise from the 700
foot level, which is being extended
on a western segment of the same
vein, some improvement in values
has also been noted, according to
the report, and very fair values are
now being yielded by the ore ex-
tracted from this portion of the
ore shoot.
Tonopah Extension
To the aggregate shipments made
from the Tonopah district during
the first week of November, that
of the Tonopah Extension helps to
swell the total by the amount OF
$46,500, which is the valuation
placed on the Extensions shipment
by the management. The consign-
ment consisted of 23 bars which
weighed 47,420 ounces for the lot,
and the shipment vas made on No
vember 18th. 1t is evident hat the
estimate of valuation placed upon
the shipment is extremely conserva-
tive, as at the present prices for
silver each ounce of bullion, which
contains both gold and silver in
the ratio of one part of value in
gold to two parts of value in silver,
should be worth at least $1.00
per ounce.
Aside from the report of the
shipment of bullion, the outstand-
ing feature of interest for the pres
ent week at the Tonopah Extension
is the announcement made by Su-
pcrintendent Alline Case that condi-
, lions have become sufficiently
, tolerable to permit of continuing
the exploration work on the 1880
, foot level. The adverse water con
ditions have become greatly ameli-
Grated, indicating that the water

in the matter of cutting the sta
i, ton to receive the additional pump
that has been ordered, and in the
extension of the south cross-cut past
the Merger Vein and towards the
o. X. and Murray veins. 1t is ex-
! pected that the pump will be re-
ceived before the cross-cut reaches
the vicinity of the downward extern
: sion of the next two veins toward
which the cross-cut is heading. so
that no further difficulty in the
way of excess water is anticipated.
Monarch Pittsburg
Considerable improvement is
is being extended above the $50
level of the MISUNDERSTANDING. AS
was stated in our last issue, trach-
yte was encountered at a distance
OF $50 feet in the raise, and stimuli
%taneously the vein showed marked
improvement both in character and
values. The last round of shots
:. blasted exposed a width of from IS
inches to 2 feet of very good ore
and a cold blooded sample taken
across this width ran $45.6O.
Great Western Con.
Good news awaits the persons
interested in Great Western Con-
solidated Mining company, for it is
announced by superintendent John
MCGEE that everything is in readi
ness for the resumption of opera
tions as soon as the power COM
pany has completed a few minor tie
tails in it's auxiliary power plant.
The giant pumps in the Great
Western are all in place and as
soon as the company is assured that
ton to the power service the bulk
heads will be pulled and the water
allowed to flow to the stump, whence
it will be lifted to the surface with
the aid of the 1000 gallon per min
ute pumps.
Cash Boy Cons.
The importance of the recent de-
velopment work in the Cash Boy
Consolidated Mining company, lying
or the northern side of the proven
Tonopah ore zone, cannot be over
estimated. The vein has been
proven continuously on its incline.
along which the Wine has been
carried, for approximately 800 feet.
and at each level where stations
have been cut and laterals run the
ore has been found to have main
