4, operate both mine and mill, n
mill was ordered to be closed down,
but the other operations at the mine
were proceeding very satisfactorily.
The additional unit at the power
plant will probably be completed in
about three months, which will then
made available 140O-horsepower.
Mining operations at the Mandy
mine in Manitoba, Canada, began in
December, 1916. and by June there
had beer mined 1896 tons of ore,
containing copper, gold and silver
valued at $231,730.
Receipts last year were $2,S1S,-
1873, and disbursements were 3d.
col 900, leaving the cash on hand
s35,145 against $11S,612 at the be-
ginning of the year.
The annual meeting of the Tono-
pah Mining company of Nevada will
be held May 7, at $3.50 o'clock.
Tonopah Belmont
The first semi-weekly cleanup of
the Tonopah Belmont Development
company's local mill, operating ON
ores from its own mine and those
of the Tonopah Mining company
and the Jim Butler Mining COM
pany, was completed last Saturday,
and on the following day, the 21st
instant, so bars of bullion, weigh
ing $3.50 ounces, were shipped to
the smelters. At the prices quoted
now for silver, the bullion is esti-
mated to have valuation of $119,412
The regular course OF mining,
both as regarding development and
exploration, was continued at the
mine during the week, with the fol-
lowing results:
On the 7OO-foot level, from the
Belmont shaft, work in east drift
721 from north cross-cut 7O2, on
the Shoestring vein, was discontin-
ued for a short time during the
week, but later resumed. The drift
is now running out on a width of
about IS inches of low grade ore.
In north cross-cut 724, which has
been going out from east drift 1903,
the regular footage was made, and
it finally connected with 721 east
drift.
The cross-cut is being pushed
ahead, however, into the hanging
wall of the Shoestring vein, for
prospecting purposes, and is at pre-
sent in West End rhyolite.
Other development work on the
Shoestring vein consisted of two
raises, one from the east drift above
mentioned, and the other from a
stope on the vein. The first raise,
No. IL, is making good Roadway
on a 3-foot face of good grade ore,
while the latter, raise IL, projected
from 72O stope, is following a l.
foot width of medium grade ore.
On the SOO-foot level, operations
in east drift SIS have been dis
continued temporarily. with the con-
ditions about similar to those men
toned in the previous report, there
being about 1 foot of width eX-
posed on the Shoestring vein. A
raise, No. %, which has shown
varying widths of ore on the Shoe
string vein on it's ascent from 1913
stone, is again disclosing a full face
of good grade ore.
On the Rhyolite vein, raise "a,
going up from SS1 stope, made
good Roadway and finally holed
through into the 70O-foot level. On
it's way from level to level, the
raise developed quite a satisfactory
block of ore, which will later be de-
yeloped from the raise. It's main
purpose, however, was to provide a
chute whereby fill could be put into
the square sets on the lower level.
When this work is completed
stopping in the vicinity Of the raise
will be carried on. Raise 20, which
is being sent up from east drift $50
on the Shoestring vein, shows a 2
foot width of medium grade ore.
West End Cons.
On Thursday of this week, the
local office of the West End Con
solidated Mining company was ad'
yised that a further subscription Of
$4,000 has been made by the di
rectors Of the company to the Third
Liberty loan. With the addition
of the $4,000 that was recently
subscribed from the imponded
funds in dispute between the West
End and Jim Butler companies, this
makes a total of 100000 that ha
been subscribed at the instance o
