operations of the company continue
to show corresponding increases in
the succeeding months of the year,
the company will be able TO report
a very profitable year, far exceeding
the results of 1917, during which
year the company produced 11O,1S7
tons of ore, of a total value of ST.
1872, OS3.16, from which receipts from
sale of product amounted to $780,

deducting marketing costs, mining,
milling and miscellaneous expenses,

Cash Boy Cons.
The comprehensive plans of devel-
opment which have been laid out
for the extension of work at the
Cash Boy Consolidated are being
followed in an energetic and intel
ligent manner. Some of the work
has been suspended for the present,
while the matter of repairing the
shaft and retimbering it is being
looked after, because of the fact that
it is impossible to use the blower
until the shaft work has been com.
pleted.
1t has been announced that 1t
will be several days yet before the
shaft is in order again, and in the
meanwhile work has been stopped in
the raise from the 15OO-foot level
which has been going up on the o.
X. vein. The same condition APP
plies to the cross-cut which is headed
toward the shaft, the lack of air in
this working %precluding the possbili-
ty of continuing it until the shaft
has been repaired and the blower
pipe installed.
West End Cons.
The timbering of the Ohio shaft
of the West End Consolidated Mining
company has been completed, and ex-
cellent progress is now being made
in some of the old workings, which
are to be resumed with a view to
prospecting the ground at the 500
foot level. For this purpose the
grade of the old workings. Is to be
lowered, and the raise from the 500
to the 6OO-foot level is to be enlarg-
ed to a full three-compartment width.
/, The week marked the completion
of the work of taking up of bottom
in one of the drifts, and within a few
days the little work left in sol cross
cut, on the same level, will be finish
ed, when exploration work will be
started up in this latter working.
In the West End territory proper,
on the SO0-foot level, good Roadway
was made in extending the face of
500 cross-cut toward the Ohio work.
ings, but no particular change in
conditions has been observed as yet.
The usual stopping operations
were carried forward in this part of
the mine during the week, the regu-
grade having been produced from
slopes 30O-A, 800, $50, Ala. sol and
sos. Conditions at each of these
places are much the same as report
ed in previous weeks.
Jim Butler TOnOpah
From the tonnages reported dur
ing the month of May, which are APP
proximately the same as those sent
sto the Belmont mill during the pre-
'ceding month, it is confidently be-
lieved that the earnings of the jim
Butler Tonopah Mining company will
surpass those of April, when the
company reported net profits of $46,-
564.
The development program that
has been mapped out at the Jim
Butler property was followed
through the week, while in addition
some preparatory work in the
Desert Queen section of the mine,
on the 4th level, was taken up with
a view of commencing some Ok
ploration work in the western por-
ton of this part of the mine.
There have been very few
changes noted at any of the work
ings which were carried forward
during the week. West cross-cut
416, which is being driven from
All south cross-cut, is continuing
ahead again in the footwall of the
south vein, with the object of being
used for mining purposes when
