Additions will show that during
the first half-year. the company
has SEN to the big mill located
near the mouth of its Belmont
shaft 1891 dry tons. or an aver
age monthly output of 12,062 tons.
The total net value of the product
was ~s565,7S7, or an average
monthly profit of s94,29S. These
figures closely approximate the
showing of the previous year. when
according to the last annual report.
145,024 dry tons were milled, re-
sulting in net earnings for the To-
nopah mine and mill of S1,253,641.
Comparatively little news has
been received lately from the out
side properties of the company. 1t
is understood that General Manager
Bradshaw will arrive in San Fran
cisco today from Surf Inlet. and
after a few days on the coast will
return to Tonopah. 1t is probable
that before his return he will also
make a visit of inspection to the
Shawmut-Eagle mine, in Tuolomne
county. which the company re-
Gently acquired.
The usual report of advancement
in the development and prospecting
workings at the Belmont mine is is
sued for the past week. The only
work which is at all new in the
reports is an item to the effect that
operations have been started up on
an intermediate level between the
9th and eth main levels, for the
purpose of developing the South
vein at its upward projection to
this height. With this object in
view, a drift has been started from
what is known as raise No. 2, and
is making its way along the vein. at
the usual ate of advancement, in a
westerly direction. At the face of
the drift, the vein is shown to be
about 2 feet in width and consists
of good grade ore.
Jim Butler Mine
All the arrangements of the jim
utler Tonopah Mining company
for the exploration of the Ophir
King ground, at the 9OO-foot level,
which was announced recently. have
been completed, and everything ex-
cept the necessary provisions for
dump room is in readiness for the
commencement of these operations.
The company has been held up for
IA week or more because of the in
adequacy of the facilities for the
deposit of waste rock. but it is ex-
pected that this condition will be
remedied within the neal future
and the new work can be common
ced.
All the work performed during
the past week at the company's
property has been in the Wander
ing Boy section of the mine, the
fact that the new work is to be
started from the Desert Queen
working obviating the possibility,
for the present period at least, of
continuing any development work
the latter portion of the prop
erty.
Monarch Pittsburg
No material change has occurred
at the Monarch-Pittsburg since our
last issue.
The shipment of ore which we
mentioned would go forward last
Tuesday. did not go forward until
yesterday. This delay was occa-
stoned by the usual first of the
month cleanup at the West End
mill to which shipment is made.
The control on this shipment will
not be out until Sunday, hence we
are unable to give its value in this
issue. but the figures will be avail
able for our next issue.
The usual progress was consider
ably retarded both in the 900 east
drift and raise this week through
the necessity of timbering and
moving ventilating fans.
West End Cons.
The report for the week shows
that every thing is progressing in
a highly satisfactory manner, and
that there has been a decided i'm
provement in the width and value
of the ore in the various faces. AS
development has proceeded at the
Ohio territory a steady and consist
ent improvement has been noted
until now about one-half of the
total tonnage of the West End mine
is being extracted from this par
ticularly new field of operations.
The extent of the ore bodies and
the full Importance of this re-
markable discovery can not be de-
termined until further development
is had but it has already been
opened up sufficiently to assure the
management hat the strike is one
of magnitude and that shipments
