TONOPAH DEVELOPMENTS
SET FORTH IN REPORTS


feet in the Sandgrass. The increas-
ed amount of work in the Mizpah
workings is due mainly to the fact
that work has been resumed on the
fourth level, which, added to the de-
velopment work hat is in progress
on the 500-foot level, brought the
total tonnage for this section of the
mine up to Sc. AS reported in de-
tail. the weeks operations were as
follows:
In the Silver Top section of the
property. on the 240-foot level, the
company continued its stopping work
on the vein west of the shaft, with
conditions showing much the same
as have been recorded previously,
the stope work having been advanc-
ed against a two-foot face of mill
ing ore.
TOnOpah Extension
The reports from the Tonopah EX-
tension Mining company, ever since
the known vein systems developed
within the property have been found
to extend to the 16S0-foot depth,
have shown a condition that must
give cause for congratulation to the
stockholders of the company as well
as to the officers. So far as the re-
ports indicate, the only development
work that has been done, to-wit, on
the Merger vein, discloses a condi-
ton that bids fair to bring the Elk
tension mine again to the forefront
in the precious metal districts of
Southern Nevada, If, indeed, not
throughout the entire west.
Up to date, the only real produc-
ton work that the Extension COM
pany has done on its 16S0-foot level,
according to the weekly reports that
have been made since the first vein
south of the shaft at hat level was
struck, has been on the Merger vein.
A long drift to the west followed
the course of the vein, and several
weeks ago a stope was started from
the drift.
Beginning with an average width
of about five feet, the stope work
has proceeded on an increasing width
of orebody, with the result that the
stopping operations are now being
conducted across a width of about
10 feet. The orebody is stated to
hold ever a greater width than the
present stope covers at the present
time, but the prevailing width of 10
feet is sufficiently gratifying In
itself.
AS given in detail, the weekly re-
port of the Extension is as follows:
At the No. 2 shaft territory, where
a total amount of development work
of So feet was performed, the slopes
on the various levels show the same
satisfactory conditions that have
prevailed for some time. The Merg-
er, the Murray and the o. X. veins,
where production work is going on,

show widths ranging from three tC
six feet, with ore of milling grade
coming from each place.
On the 600-foot level, drift 641
was extended 80 feet on a face OF
low-grade quartz, there having been
no change in conditions as com
pared with the previous weeks re-
port. Additional work was perform
ed in 644 raise, with the result that
connections were made with GAP
stope during the latter part of the
week. The raise was extended for
a distance of II feet in West End
rhyolite before holing through into
the stope.
West End Cons.
The first cleanup at the mill of
the West End Consolidated Mining
company resulted in the production
and shipment of 81 bars of bullion,
weighing 51,126 ounces. According
to the quoted prices for silver, the
shipment is worth approximately
SCI 1920.
The regular operations have been
carried on at all the different sec
lions of the mine, the territories con-
tiguous to main shafts showing prac-
tically the same conditions that have
been reported in previous weeks.
There have been no new disclosures
in the disputed area, where the
slopes are yielding the regular ton
nages of milling grade ore, and
where there has been no develop
ment work save such as that made
by the slopes as they have advanced.
In West End territory proper, the
cross-cut which Is being headed to-
ward the Ohio workings has made
better Roadway during the past week
than has been resorded up to date.
Halifax TOnopah
Drift 1919 at the Halifax Tonopah
Mining company has been %discontin-
ued for the present, and stopping has
been started on the widest portions
of the high grade streak that was
found recently and on which devel-
opment work has been proceeding
ever since. Operations in the face
of the drift will be resumed as soon
as conditions allow.

At the Wandering Boy shaft, or
the second level, raise 375, going III

with previous weeks, the latest re
port stating that the orebody Is nov
four and a half feet wide. The reg
ular distance was gained by the rais'
during the week, and medium values
have constantly been broken as thu

Manager Paulus Of Fruit
Union Sells Million and
Half Lbs. Of 1917 Crop

Manager Robt. Paulus, of the Sa-
lem Fruit Union, has just closed one
of the largest fruit deals ever made in
the northwest, it covering a million
pounds of 5000 prunes and about half
million 60-70s, the consideration be-
ing in round numbers $125,000.
Last summer a committee was nam
ed by the fruit packers for the purpose
of getting the government to recog
nize the Oregon prune, but owing to
several things, failed to accomplish
much at the time. While in California
soon after this Mr.. Paulus hunted up
A. G. Kuhn who has charge of the buy
ing for the government, discussed the
Oregon prune Etuation with him and
broached the matter of the govern
ment pIrehasing part of its supply in
this state. On bis return from Califor-
MIA Mr.. Paulus found the packers were
receiving short deliveries and this
compelled the holding up of all trans
actions with the government until
some idea could be had as to quanti-
ties, sizes and such things. In the mean
time Mr.. jerks, Of Gile & Co., was
with the British army supply
agent in San Francisco en-
deavoring to clean up the supply Of
the northwest Mr.. Crawford, of the
Drager Fruit company, was also busy,

which are most needed and which will
prove the most profitable to the
producer.
Under the new regulations the mil
Ter must not charge the dealer more
than IS per cent of the cost of a ton
of wheat at the mill door for bran. All
feed dealers must now operate under a
federal license and must not charge
more than a reasonable profit for the
handling of any mill feeds. ANY cases
of over charge by dealers should be
promptly reported to the Federal Food
Administration office at Portland for
investigation. -
The new prices of mill feeds, from
miller to dealer, will be $50 or $50 per
ton for bran, 50 higher 70 shorts, and
5000 higher for middlings in carload
lots, with a differential of not more
than 80 per cent less than carload lots.
This is a substantial reduction as
against the prices charged for mill
feed heretofore. Witt this cut in the
cost of feeding stock and the assurance
of permanent Government control of
the mill feed output, risk is reduced to
the minimum for ne stock raiser. who
is now urged to do his UTMOST to help
the Food Administration meet the tre-
mendous demands Of our own armies
and that Of the peoples and armies Of
our associates in this war.

he working through Senator McNary
in an effort to get The department to
specify Oregon prunes in its next or

In the meanwhile Mr.. Paulus kept
in close touch with Mr.. Kuhn and at
the same time got busy securing the
tonnage of unsold prunes in northwest
packers hands. He then wired Mr..
Kuhn he would be glad to act a his
agent in securing the prunes of the
northwest fo the government The
reply came last Friday in telegram
from Mr.. Kuhn authorizing Mr.. Paul
us to notify packers to hold 50-60s and
60-70s for the government. The price
given was $8.75 for 50-60s and 1926
for 60-70s. The amount ordeTed held
were 500 tons of the larger Size and
200 tons of the smaller While fixing
the price Mr.. Kuhn added that these
were subject to revision by the federal
trade board.
This practically cleans up all prunes
of the sizes named, in the hands of
the northwest packers, and the supply
left is all 70-S0s or smaller with The
exception of a few 40-50s. n is esti-
mated there is still in the hands of

it was a good-sized ship so it didn It

Farmer and StOckgrOwer
Will Receive Large Returns


"Under the new Food Administra-
tion regulations governing the price of
mill feeds, substantial encouragement
is offered to the farmer and the stock
raiser, and the administration now
hopes for their full cooperation in a
capacity production during the coming
year, of hogs, cattle, sheep and poul-
try"
The above is the statement of Fed
eral Food Administrator F. W.. Steus-
loft for Marion county, who points out
that the way is now clear for the farm
er and the stock raiser to plan for the
greatest possible output of food
animals.
"There is every assurance of a
steady and profitable Market" said
Mr.. SteuslOff, "with as ample a sup
ply of feed as can be had by milling
all the wheat possible in the North
west. The raising of food animals,
particularly hogs, ana beef and dairy
cattle, is not only the patriotic duty of
every citizen so situated that he can do
so, but it will lbe a splendid business
investment as well. For several years
to come, because of world-conditions,
the market for food animals will in
evitably be strong and steady, and now
that the output of grain feeds at the
mills has come under government con-
troll through the new licensing system,
with a fixed price basis, the cost of
production will no longer be prohibit
lively high or too uncertain for a safe
investment. Let every farmer and
stock raiser in Oregon make his plans
now for the fullest possible production
