The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-04-13

The Tonopah Belmont sent to the
mill 1910 tons, the Tonopah Mining
$3.50 tons, the Tonoph Extension
242S tons, the Jim Butler 49S tons,
the West End 1869 tons, the Mac
Namara sac tons, the Montana 103
tons, the Cash Boy so IONS and mis-
cellaneous "a tons, making the to-
tai production for the week 1918
tons, the estimated value being
$151,6O6. This valuation is calcu-
lated on the gross milling value of
the pre-.
Aside from the fact that there has
not been so much work done in the
Sandgrass territory of the Tonopah
Mining company within the past
week as has been recorded in former
weeks, there is little change of an
exceptional nature in the present re-
port. 1t might be mentioned, how
ever, that coincident with the sus-
pension of operations at some of the
Sandgrass workings, the company
resumed exploration and develop
ment work in the Mizpah claim or
a more extensive scale than had been
reported for some weeks past.
All the various workings in the
silver Top territory went ahead at
the usual rate of speed, with the
result that a total of 81 feet was
added to the length Of the workings
in this part of the mine. The de-
velopment work in the Mizpah Sec
ton amounted to AZ feet, and the
north cross-cut on the 1300-foot lev
e, made Is feet during the week.
The total amount of development
work performed was 141 feet.
The big tonnages which in past
weeks have been moved from the
dumps continued to furnish the bulk
of the shipments from the Tonopah
Mining company's property, while
the avera. :e shipments of mine ore
were made to the Belmont mill here.
During the previous week, what is
probably the banner production in
the matter of weight alone, of the
company was made, when freight
shipments aggregated 1850 tons.
The greater portion of this, of
course, came from the surface
dumps and was shipped to the COM
pany's mill at Millers, which is
showing an excellent record in treat
ing the low-grade ores
AS reported in detail by the man
agement, the work during the past
week shows the following progress:
In the section of the mine served
by the Silver Top shaft, on the 240-
foot level. the only work in progress
was that of stopping on the vein west
of the shaft, where the regular tom
nages of milling grade ore were
obtained from the two-foot face that
has constantly been exposed since
this stopping work was started.
On the 340-foot level there has
been no change at all in conditions
in the raise on the small vein west
of the shaft. In the top of the raise
there still is disclosed a narrow
streak of quartz, and occasional val
ues are found as the raise makes
progress toward the upper level.
The usual production work was
continued in the filled stope of the
big vein, where the hanging-wall is
yielding good milling values across
several feet. The Burro No. 2 vein
was also worked, an dthe stope at
this part of the mine produced the
regular tonnages of milling grade
ore from the two-foot width which
has been maintained for some weeks
past.
