$500 tons, the Tonopah Extension
$3.50 tons. the Jim Butler $50 tons,
the West End 1854 tons, the Mac
Namara 4S7 tons, the Halifax "a
tons. the Bellehelen 3S tons, making
the total production TO the week
1901 tons, the estimated value being
s173.267. This valuation is calculat-
ed on the gross milling value of the
ore.
The Tonopah Mining company re-
ports the shipment of "a bars of
gold-silver bullion, which went for
ward on November eth to the smell
ters on the Pacific coast. The con-
signment is valued, according to
the estimates pfaced upon it by the
company, at approximately $62,4OO,
and resulted from the reduction
and treatment of ores from the To-
nopah Mining company during the
latter half of October.
Mining operations are proceeding
in satisfactory ann at the local
mine, as shown by the successive
weekly reports. The tonnages re-
ceived and treated at the company's
mill in Millers continue to grow,
due to the energetic in
which the company is shipping the
product of the various slopes in the
mine, supplemented by quantities of
ore from the dumps which were saw
ed in the mining operations of past
years, when the metal contents of
the ore we're not sufficient to con-
stitute a milling product.
The rise in silver during the last
yea which amounts to about 80
per cent on the averages for the
past ten or twelve years, has, how
ever caused the greatest portion
of the dumps to become available
for the mill, and consequently the
company is now earning clear pro-
fits on material that was formerly
thought would have to be left un-
touched.
No late news has been received
from the company's outside opera
lions. This is particularly true
with regard to the properties which
the company took over last year in
Canada. Once in a while some re-
ports are ~obtainable as to the re-
suits of the company's placer min
ing work in the Breckenridge,
Colorado district, where several
dredge boats are engaged in recov-
ering the gold from the creeks in
that district; and the reports
show that the company is a regula;
shipper of gold bars from Brecken
ridge to the Denver mint.
1t is not expected that very much
Information with relation to the de-
velopment and reduction work at
the Eden Mining company, in
Nicaragua, will be forthcoming un~
til the fiscal year of the company
is ended and the various reports OF
the officers and mine managers
have been submitted to the stock
holders. 1t has been reported re-
Gently, however, that the company
is now examining several copper
properties in Nicaraguan fields.

The last cleanups reported at the
mills of the Tonopah Belmont De
velopment company, resulting from
the treatment of company and GUS
tom ores during the last half Of
October, were as follows:
Tonopah plant, 40 bars of bull
lion, weighing 1929 ounces, and
81 tons of concentrates; Millers
plant 20 bars of bullion, weighing
1887 ounces, and 20 tons of CON
per ounce for the bullion, and $500
per ton for the concentrates, the
shipments are worth approximately
$121,93O.
Several important changes in the
physical aspects of some of the
workings have taken place in the
local property since the report prior
hereto was issued, which give con-
siderable satisfaction to the man
agement of the Belmont mine.
