SET FORTH IN REPORTS

reduction plant "A bars of bullion,

No news of any special import
ance has been received lately re-
garding the operations of the sub
sidiary companies. The annual re-
port of the Tonopah Mining COM
peny will be forthcoming in the
near future, and is being awaited
with keen interest for the informa-
ton it will undoubtedly contain
concerning the doings of the CON-
pany at the Eden Mining company
i'll Nicaragua, as well as the results
of the past 10 months operations
in the placer fields near Brecken-
ridge, Colorado, where the Tonopah
Placers company has had three
dredging boats operating. Since
the fiscal year of the company has
ccmber 31st, the next, which will
be the 18th, annual report of the
company, will show the results for
a period of only 10 months; but it
IS safe to assume that the report for
the term will be of the same high
~ gratifying nature that has char
acterized all the preceding ones
The weekly report of mining OPP

Some of the development work was
completed, and new work has been
started on encouraging showings
that have been kept in reserve until
the larger veins and ore-shoots
could be thoroughly developed.

were kept dropping and that 2100
tons of ore were put through the
mill. The ore had an average value
of $13.
Continuation of the development
and prospecting operations under
the present plans of development
added a toal of SIG feet to the
workings in the several parts of the
mine. OF this total, EOS feet of
new ground was brok "a in the ST.
yer Top territory; 2S feet of work
was performed in the Hizpah claim,
and at the Sandgrass, on two levels
the development work amounted to
SO feet.
At the Silver Top portion of the
mine, the workings on the $40 and
440.foot levels are still idle, ami
there is no record of development
or production at these depths.
On the 540-foot level, no develop
ment work was undertaken or pro-
jected during the week, the opera
tons being confined to Stopping.

mentioned in last weeks report as
approaching close to the level above,
had it's object accomplished whan
it holed through into a drift on
the upper level. Having shown en-
couraging indications that sufficient
ore exists in the vicinity to warrant

started from the raise. Further to
the west, raise 652, which was ex-
pected to make connections with the
level above, did not quite reach the
mark, and several rounds will have
to be shot before the raise finally
drills through into the upper level.
The showings in both the raises
mentioned have been substantially
similar, both of them having fol-
lowed 80 to 40 feet of stringers
which have unusually good chances

Occasionally good values were found
in both raises. The raise, which has
