beginning November / the Tono-
nah Divide will increase its daily
shipmeuts from the present average
Of 35 tons to 50 tons daily, with the
prospect of increasing the amount in
ratio with the development which is

than at any time in the history of
the property The ore will be treat.
ed at the mill of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company, which
has closed contract for the entire
production at a lower rate than that
which has been charged by the Mac
Namara mill, There will be no
change in the method of delivery, as
the trucks of the Divide company
will dump diEectly into the ore bins
Of the Belmont without resorting to
railroad haul.
Such was the announcement OF II.
C. Brougher, president of the Tono-
pab Divide, this morning, as he was
waiting to join Mrs. Brougher for
the return trip to their home in Oak
land. .2n
Mr. Brougher has spent the greater
part ot the two days of his Tonopah
visit renewing his acquaintance with
the underground workings of the
mines under his control, and he ex-
pressed the utmost qualification at
the condition of the district
After this hope to visit Tono-
pah at least every two months, for
ind that the people here need
hearten!ng and something to sustain
their faith in the mines of Tonopah
and the Divide This is my first
visit in year for reasons that need
not be repeated but feel my health
returning and hope that in the fu-
lure | VIII be able to give Tonopah
the same personal attention that It
always received from me before nv
illness.
From what | have heard on all
sides" resumed the sturdy Tonopah
pioneer, Il know that neither the To-
cal people nor the outside world
has the faintest idea of what the
Tonopah Divide mine is, but am
willing to leave that to the future
rather than indulge in any predic-
Tons There has been enough talk
ABOUT the Divide and what the public
and mining investors want is some
SUBSTANTIAL confirmation of what has
oeeh forecast. The Tonopah Divide
is making rapid progress on both
Tue 500 and 10O0.foot levels. where
'Aey are between 60 and 10 feet out
"l the stations and making rapid
progress towards the objective
point which may be roughly stated
a' Iio feet from the shaft. At least
'"l Us where the ledge was cut on
Tue upper levels and we see no rea-
son Tor expecting anything different
"a 'he 500 and 1000 levels. However.
must be remembered that great
'aanges may be effected in 500 feet
'A" there is just the possibility that
rue rake Of the ledge may have
changed either by strengthening out
W I'D slauting on at great angle
" does not make much difference
""Ai change has occurred in the
1'''osF Of that section. the vein is
mere, and 1t Is merely a matter Of
'ne until We get the same values
.aai We find above NV reason for
.as belief is the fact that the for
nation is identical with small string
