TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS

at OOtn the TOnopan II
the Millers reduction plants. AS a
result of the first cleanup liz
August, the company has shipped
so bars of bullion weighing 90,S05
ounces and 80 tons of concentrates
from the Tonopah mill, and %
bars of bullion, Weighing 1886
ounces from Millers. The estl-
mated valuation of the Tonopah
shipment is sos, S95.25, including
the bullion and concentrates, and
hat of the consignment sent for
ward from Millers is s49,240.S0;
making a total estimated value for
the two plants of $159,135.05.
The detailed report of operations
at the Tonopah plant follows:
On the 700-foot level from the
Belmont shaft, or rather, on the in
termediate level above the main
working level, following the pick
ing up of the vein in the west drift
from raise 2 last week, work has
been pushed forward also in the
east drift along the South vein.
The west drift, after solving the
fault, has consistently shown a 4
foot width of good grade ore, and
identical conditions are met with
in the face of the east drift, with
both faces having been advanced
the usual distance during the week.
On the SO0-foot level there has
been no material change shown in
500 north cross-cut, going out from
poses. The regular footage was at
taied in the crosS-cut during the
week, and the entire advance was
made in ~trachyte. East drift S.OO2,
on the Rhyolite vein, after making
good progress on the 3-foot width,
which was reported last week, en-
countered the Belmont fault, and
for the time being operations have
been discontinued at this point.
East drift S.O0S, from 5000 south
cross-cut, which is being driven on
the South vein, has shown no ma
erial change so far as the value or
grade of the ore is concerned, but
has developed a fun face of the
low grade material. Practically the
same conditions exist in west drift
S,007, from the same crOSS-cut, go
ing out on the South vein, the vein
having widened until it is at least
the width of the drift, and having
shown values which are rather low.
On the intermediate between the
500 and the 900-foot main levels
drifts are being run from the north
cross-cut from raise s, on much the
same showings hat were reported
last week. The east drift was ad-
vaced the regular distance on a
9 y foot width of good ore, while
the weeks advance in the west
drift demonstrated the vein to be
consistently 2 feet in width and
also of good grade.
The Jim Butler
The development and eXplora-
ton work now in progress at the
Jim Butler mine is making salts
factory progress, according to the
report issued by the management
yesterday.
At the Wandering Boy ground,
on the End level, operations were
cross-cut 307 until it broke through
into the old stope of the TonOpah
Mining company at the latter's 3rd
level. Raise 365, from east stope
3, has encountered a fault, and
raising is in progress to recove
the other segment of the vein,
which, at the point where it was
cut off, was about 3 feet in width
and of milling grade. There has
been no change in raise 367, which
is going up from north cross-cut
sos, the face of the raise showing
2 feet of milling grade ore.
MacNamara NJ. n NJ. Co.
C~ross-cutting and raising continue
in the property of the MacNamara
Mining company, for the purpose of
prospecting for the contact vein.
There have been no important
changes reported; as yet, but the
work is being prosecuted as vigor-
ously as possible.
West End Cons.
The first cleanup for August at
the mill of the West End Consoli-
dated Mining company in Tonopah
resulted in the shipment last Satur-
day of 81 bars of bullion, weighing
5O,367 ounces. The better prices
for silver make the value of the
consignment higher than has ever
been recorded, but to be ~conserva>
tive an estimate of $1.05 per ounce
is placed upon the bullion. At this
estimate, the shipment is worth
$~52,SS5.35.
The station for the 555-foot in
termediate level from the winze at
the Ohio shaft has been completed,
and the drift on the new level has
been started to develop the portion
