DEVELOPMENTS.
SET FORTH. IN REPORTS

ing work along the Merger vein on
its east-west strike or trend, and
the satisfactory conditions first met
with have continued as the face of
each drift has been extended, even
though, according to the latest re-
Port. the vein is not so wide in
the faces of the drifts as appeared
when the orebody was "intersected
by the cross-cut.
This condition, however, is pecul-
lar to the veins in the Extension
property, the widths varying from
week to week. but in general pre-
serving a very fair average. The
drift to the east is stated to be ad-
vancing on a 3-foot face OF ore of
milling grade. while in the opposite
direction vest drift 1000 is disclos-
ing now a 4-foot width. Measured
J from the face of the east eross-cut
TO the furthermost distance that the
west drift has accomplished, the
crebody has been opened up for a
length of about 40 feet to date,
showing good milling grade ore con-
tinuously.
Tonopah Belmont
October production is reported as
follows: number dry tons milled,
0 ,0S7; number ounces gold bullion
produced, 1,13S.21S; number oun-
oes silver bullion produced, 49,
!; .5S.2S; net profit for October, $751;
S76.0S.
The condition of the Tonopah
Belmont, as indicated by the sue
c~essive reports of development work
and the weekly records of tom
nages, continues excellent. There
lave been no unusual changes
within the past week in any of the
workings, and everything is NOV
ing along in satisfactory manner
, The work in detail. showing the
extension of the development and
exploration operations since the
last previous report was issued, is
5 as follows:
2 In the Belmont shaft territory,
on the 70O-foot level, after advanc-
f ing a short distance in west drift
1872, operations on this side of 702
t North cross-cut after it had inter-
t sected the Shoestring vein, were
\ ,1n4-,A I OF lnncf
f and efforts were concentrated in
721 drift, running to the east from
the same cross-cut to open the vein
in that direction. At the time of
= issuing the report, the face of the
= drift was exposing a narrower face
of ore than prevailed last week,
2 the vein being about " feet in
l width as compared with the 2R-
foot width upon which the work
was started. Raise 50 was con
/ Itinued at the usual rate of speed
l towards the intermediate level run
ming out from stOpe 700 on the
. South vein and is expected to hole
through within a few days. This
l raise will supply good ventilation
| for the workings in it's vicinity.
Great Western Con.
, The officials of the Great Western
| Consolidated Mining company have
been disappointed in their efforts
t to resume work in that property,
~ u,. ~ tho fant fhnf tho wv
company, through the failure of
? necessary parts for its auxiliary
= power plant to arrive, have not been
t able to promise uninterrupted SER
vice. So soon as the auxiliary
, equipment of the power company is
completed, the Great Western Con-
solidated will be in position to i'm
mediately resume operations, it's
pump, with a capacity of 1000 gal
, Ions per minute, being ready to
/ start when everything is ready at
5 the power plant.
West End Cons.
Early in the week just passed,
'HO "OoI hhu Company SohhPiOIou
it's first cleanup for the month of
, November, which resulted in the
t melting of 20 bars of bullion, hay
/ ing a weight of 4S,667 ounces. At
2 the present price of silver, the con
signment is estimated to be worth
$48, 667.
The extraordinarily splendid con-
Gitions disclosed by the West End
/ Consolidated Mining company in
) it's Ohio workings, through devel-
opment operations on the big vein,
have been maintained with the en-
5 largement of the scope of work in
that territory.
