TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
,continued from Page one)

The company is erecting a new
two-story concrete building which
will be used for an assay office and
quarters for the engineering de-
partment.
The lining of the stump on h
16SO-foot level is nearing compile
ton and will soon be ready to serve
its purpose. The concrete founda-
ton to support the big pump that
Is to be installed on the 1850 level
is being set and everything will
soon be in readiness to start pump
ing operations from this point.
Belmont
AS proof of the excellent WORK
the Belmont mill has been doing
and of the substantial production of
the mine. 60 bars of silver-gold bull
lion and 81 IONS of concentrates
were shipped during the early part
of the week. Estimating the bull
lion at s1.2O per ounce it is worth
s136,420, and the concentrates and
bullion resulting from the second
cleanup of the Belmont mill for
July amount to s151.920, and the
total shipped in bullion and con-
centrates for the month of July,
s2SS,62S.
The usual amount of develop
ment and exploratory work was car
ried forward during the week, with
no change to report, except that
certain new work was commenced
end other work discontinued. Or
the whole, the mining operations
progressed in a most satisfactory
manner
North Star
The discovery that was made on
the 9Co level in the North Star
is attracting much interest. n A.
l.. Wollberg of the firm of Zadig &
Co., the man who promoted the Div
idend Mining company, is expected
TO arrive from San Francisco o
to inspect the recent strike in the
North Star and to spend several
days in the camp looking after the
many interests of Zadig & Co.
Some weeks ago the drift on the
900 intermediate level was started
on a mass of low-grade quartz and
drag ore and as the drift was car
ried ahead the showing gradually
improved until about a week ago
the drift disclosed a full face of
fine ore, which has continued to re-
turn higher values as the vein was
penetrated. Superintendent Lowe
states that it is a little early to
predict just what this discovery
will amount to. but that the gener-
al character of the ore and the val
ne are very gratifying indeed. and
there is every indication of the ex-
cellent showing continuing.
Jim Butler
A very uniform and steady plan
of development is being carried out
at the Jim Butler mine and the sew
eral working faces were extended
the usual distance during the week
with conditions remaining about the
same as reported previously. The
regular tonnage was sent to the
Belmont mill this week and all the
slopes produced up to expectations.
West End
On Aug. 4 the West End Mining
company shipped to the smelter 80
bars of silver-gold bullion weighing
in all 59,558 ounces, having an es-
timated value of $1.20 per ounce
or an aggregate value of $71,469.
This is the result of the second
cleanup of the company's mill and
covers the latter half of July. The
cleanup for the first half of July
produced 22 bars of bullion weigh
ing 43,499 ounces, valued at $52,-
1913. This makes a total shipment
for the month of July 103,O57
ounces, valued al $%123,667. There
is no better indication of the excel
lent production that the West End
Mining company is maintaining
than the substantial bullion ship
ments that are going forward to the
smelter twice a month.
