The Tonopah Mining company
shipped early this week from its
Millers reduction plant 81 bars OF
bullion. Upon the shipment the
company has placed an approximate
valuation of $4,000.
Development work to the amount
of SIS feet was performed during
the past week, 81 feet of new
ground at the Silver Top section OF
the mine having been broken In that
period, and SIS feet of work report
ed as having been accomplished in
the Sandgrass territory.
While the average footage is not
up to former weeks, there has been
no abatement of activity at the old
dumps on the surface, where gangs
of men are kept busy loading cars
of ore for shipment to the company's
mill at Millers. The tonnages re-
ported for the past several weeks
have been we'll above $500 tons, on
the average. and as shown by the
reports of the bullion shipments.
the treatment of the low-grade ore
is resulting in substantial profits.
Meanwhile, the regular tonnages
have been going forward to the Bel
mont mill at Tonopah, and as stated
in the foot note appended to last
weeks report, the total valuation
of the ore milled to that time was
$4,000. The next report Of net

show the earnings resulting from
the treatment of ore on company ac-
count at the Millers plant and the
profits from the shipments that have
been made to the Belmont mill.

At the Silver Top section of the
mine, on the 140-foot level, the
company is now laying track on the
floor of old slopes for the purpose
of conveying waste rock from the
chutes at this level to points above
the old slopes on the 340-foot level,
at which places it will be dumped,
for filling of the old slopes on the
lower level. When the filling pro-
cess has been completed, stopping
work in the vicinity of the old
slopes will be continued.
On the 34O-foot level, the stope
on the vein north of the shaft was
worked as usual. There has been
no change in conditions as compared
with previous weeks, the vein hav-
ing shown a width of two feet dur
ing the week, and the product from
the stope going. to the bins as con-
~stituting milling-grade ore.

The Belmont company has made
the following shipments: Tonopah
mill, GO bars of bullion, weighing
117,240 ounces, and 35 tons of con-

A perusal of the present report,
and a careful following of the ones
preceding it for many weeks, will be
sufficient to demonstrate even to
the most skeptical that the minins
operations of the Belmont company
locally are meeting with great sue
cess, Prospecting and exploration
workings are attaining their reJDec-
tive obje:t:ses with the greatest d.
gree of regularity, while tho devel-
opment work along the many
vein systems ct the Be'mpn, mine
is constantly exposing additional
IL unagas os ore that will Darmit If

periods.
The excellent showings that have
recently been made in rates On

from the 800-foot evel, continue to
appear as the raises are driven up
at different points aloug the vein n
