reported for some weeks, the total
being 146. The Silver Top territory
accounted for rs feet of this adj
vance; in the Mizpah claim, where
some development work was done,
10 feet was made; and the Sand
grass workings we're advanced 81
feet, making the total stated.
At the Silver Top. on the 24O-
foot level, the regular Stopping oper-
atoms were carried on at the verti-
cal vein at a point west of the
shaft. The conditions shown in the
stope are unchanged rs compared
with previous weeks, and the 2-foot
width of milling grade ore contin-
ues to supply satisfactory tonnages
! for shipment to the Belmont mill.
Tonopah Extension
The February earnings of the To-
uopah Extension Mining company
indicate that a gradual improvement
is taking place in the millheads that
are being run at the company's re-
auction works. The short month
undoubtedly accounted for the fact
that only 1927 tons were put
through as compared with the fig
ures shown in the tonnage and bull
lion report of January. but the net
earning for the successive months,
which were $13,459 and $16,5S4 go
70 prove that a better grade of ore
Is coming from the mine, the better
values, according to the manage
ment, existing at the lowest depth
of the mine.
The veins at the 16S0-foot level
recently cut by the south cross-cut
are now being developed by means
of drifts, raises and slopes, and the
most satisfactory conditions prevail
at nearly every one of the headings.
The increment in the price of sill
yer in the form of bullion has been
a factor in helping the earnings of
the Tonopah companies, and II, as
indicated by the press reports, the
price shall ultimately be fixed at 81
per ounce, the Tonopah Extension
will be benefited proportiOnately
with the other producing compan-
les of Tonopah.
Following the Inauguration of
stopping operations on the Merger
vein at the 168O-foot level, the ton
nages put through the mill have
gradually increased, and for the
past week a treatment of 24O7 tons
is recorded. This is somewhat over
the average that has been main
tanned in the past months.
The development work perform
ed during the week accomplished a
total advance of 1913 feet-34 feet
in the No. 2 shaft territory and SO
feet in the Victor ground, most OF
which latter work was done on the
1850 or bottom level of the mine.
The mining operations which were
conducted within the period covered
by the report showed very little
change at any of the headings. as
indicated in the following report
given by the company:
At the No. 2 shaft section of the
mine. on the S5O-foot level, the
regular stopping operations on the
Murray vein were carried forward.
and the usual production vas made
from a 4-foot lace of milling grade
ore.
Cash Boy Cons.
The Cash Boy Consolidated Min
ing company, which after discover
ing a new vein on it's 1600-foot
level and doing extensive develop
r. lent work on it, continued its
cross-cut from the bottom of the
winze in a %southerly direction to
find, if possible, the westerly ex-
tension of other veins which have
been developed in it's n%eighboring
property, reports, through its man
agement, that the face of the cross
cut has gone through about Az
feet of ore that is of good grade.
According to the statement of the
weeks mining operations at the
property, the main vein. which is
the objective of the south cross-cut
from the winze, has not been reach
ed, and work is being pushed as en-
ergetically as conditions Will allow
to prove whether or not the afore-
said vein continues in strength and
richness as 1t does in the Victor,
the adjoining property, where the
