shipping grade while the company itself has steadfastly declined to give out any information it is generally understood that the entire vein samples better than 50 per ton with shoots of specimen ore accompanying the average shipping product the company has begun drifting from the and levels to reach the continuation of the ore body just across the west E end nd extension line the west end consolidated is also developing high grade ore in the tono pah 76 and is sending a down from the to the 1000 level in rich quartz the bonanza vein in the west end extension has been proved over feet by a raise and for a length of fully feet by drifts the drift is within feet of the tonopah keystone not only has the west end consolidated met with phenomenal success in development of the west end extension and tonopah 76 properties but in its halifax mine lessees lessels recently opened a five foot ledge credited with values averaging around 65 per ton on the 1000 foot level three thousand new
