The" capital etoclt Is 1.500,000 shares, which makes the disbursement J75.000. The West End pays $ cents December 17 end Tonopah Extension 5 cents January Si. Bullion production of the Belmont In November was 1170,000, partly from ore, of which the mill treats 100 to 2000 tons a month. mine the Concerning the Belmdnt Tonopah Miner says: and official According to all reports, nonofficial, the mine is looking better days today than it has since the bonansa when the stock rose from of 46 cents to Jtl per share from the findthe Mis-ping of thfc Belmont vein beyond fault. A great deal of work has been done in recent years In developing extensions of the large shoots of ore on the eouth vein, the rhyolite vein, the favorite vein, the rescue vein, and other large ore bodies, and most of sothis work that tohas been eminently successful, day persons who know state without hesitation that there is ore in sight to keep the mill busy for severe! years to come. "Since the recent Improvement! lit la. her conditions, the company has recruit- -' ad Its force to about normal, and good headway Is being made In driving Its development and exploration work ahead. Aside from the announcement that the ' ore had been struck on the level by the Tonopah Divide Mining company, probably the most Important report Ex-to be received Is that of the Tonopah tension Mining company to the effect that the shaft has been completed to an level adequate depth below the for the purpose of providing a sump and that stations are being cut to the north end south of the shaft In order that exploration work may be conducted at the deepest level in the Tonopah or any ' other district In southern Nevada. What this means ran be appreciated by those who have interests In the Tonopah district There Is every ofreasonable Excertainty that the bigto veins to the e depth extend tension will be found level of of 120 feet below the 170-fothe Victor ground, where the Merger and the Murray veins of the company ere At a under process of development. depth of 1880 feet the Extension will a ore for bodies have proved up Its height or backs of over 1200 feet. h .The upper ore bodies sre still being sloped, a good portion of the production2 for the mill coming through the No vehaft. The Victor hoist raises tbs balance of the ore, Vhioh is trammed by electric railroad to the mill, and In addition ha born the strain of the great amount of development and shaft sinking work. This, however, will be a re- -. lisved condition when the McKane shaft level makes connection with the of tho Victor. The final cleanup at the mill of the West End Consolidated Is now under way. but shipment will not be made for , a day or two. It Is expected that the regular consignment of bullion, which has been averaging well above 860,000 for the weeks' mill run, will result from the operations during the current period , which ended on December 1. All the ore treated has come from the West End proper, the Jim Butler leased ground, and the Ohio stopes, and the grade or the ore has been maintained at the right figures for the maximum of extraction." cub-to- 1909-101- 0, ah MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS 809-fo- ot 1880-fo- ot - 1610-fo- Dsvelopmsnt work is being dons on th proparty pt th Utah Sliver Reef Minin company, according to Thomas Humor, resident agent.

Th placer mining law, under which head comes th shale locations, require annual assessment work to be performed in order to maintain the locator's title. Title work he been feverishly under wey during the past summer and (all. It was evidently the Intention of the leasing bill to repeal the mining law so far as It affect these claims, end It Is assumed that on Decamber 81, unless congress extends the time for doing 1920 assessment work, shale claims on which assessment work I. as not been performed w ill revert to the government Many thousands of seres of claims remote from transportation or owned by claimants who are financially unable to perform thalr work, will default and those claims on ' which th titles ere perfect will enhance materially In value. There ere thousands of acres of shale claims throughout western Colorado and eastern Utah which carry as high ga'lDOr'' 000 tons of oil of producing ' le an equal number of batrels of oil. These claims have been sold in prior year for nominal amounts, but with ths elimination of the land of doubtful title end those which ere far removed from present activities, th price of these shale claims will doubtless greatly Increase, it has been stated that when commercial plant can produce shale oil at a profit of I cent per barrel, that the amount of money available for the shale Industry will run into th millions. On this infinitesimally small basis mn acre of shale land Is worth 81000 On the basis of 81 net profit an acre of shill land Is worth 8100 000. The latter figure Is fairly conservative as anyone will admit who has made th slightest Investigation. There Is every reaaon to believe that as soon at these shale lands ere that the price will run Into the hundreds of dollars acre and possibly It Is nut difficult to esthousands. many timate the quantity of shale. It Is not difficult to treat It. Oil Is A necessary commodity. With all tnese facts It would seem that the owners of desirable shale deposits will reap foitune besld which some of tha profits from oil production by well drilling will seem small.

These mines In the early history of the district, though only superficially worked, wer productive of considerable rich silver or. However, the greater part of th camps production pras derived from the mines on th west reef, on which side th property of the Silver Reef Consolidated Mines company is situated. From th old Vanderbilt, It la said, ore was hauled by team to Piocha, a distance of 100 miles. Ten tons of this ore, after the heavy treatment end hauling charge, netted 8800 per ton. Several of th old workings of the mines on the east reef are accessslble and excellent bodies of or await exploitation. Present development work of tt,s company consists of driving a number sf the old drifts into virgin territory, according to Mr. Homer. With the exception of th Duffln. the above named mines constitute part of the property of th Utah Silver Reef Mining company. The mineralisation of the east reef Is similar to that In the west reef, where the ore lies ,ln beds fi om two to set enteen feet thick. The ore le a chloride, or horn silver replacement In the sandstone. of the origin Explanation of the enrichment differ, but the most ! recent theory that the mineral values were originally deposited with the sediments, probably largely as eroded mineral fragments from veins, and later were dissolved and repredtiptated In a more concentrated form by circulating waters Development work Is being steadily prosecuted under the direction of Manager Alex Col bath by the Silver Reef Consolidated Mines company on Its property on the west reef. A force of thirty men Is employtd in cleaning up the old workings, extending drifts Into new territory and increasing the ore reserves. The power line built last summer from the Dixie lint to tlie mine Is giving satisfaction, as is the other equipment. Inducing three new compressors, hoists and pumps. Purchase of Engine Made for Stockton Standard Directors of the Stockton Standard Mining company have recently made the purchase of a gas engine. This engine will be hauled, after the first of the year, to the property, consisting of thirteen lf claims, situated about one and miles from Btiwkton. t As soon as the new engine has been Installed, the shaft, already 800 feet deep, will be sunk another 200 feet to develop at depth the ore opened up on tho upper level. The enrichment In the Stockton Standard is found In an east-- , west limestone ledge, where It Is crossed fissures. by strong north-sout- h Two Intersections of the lime ledge and the fissures have been explored up to date. In the first crossing, elghtv-seve- n feet east of the shaft, the enrichment was twelve feet wide. This mineralisation, tho a hole mass of which was of a milling grade, a 1th considerable shipping ore Intermingled, was persistent through the . ledge for Its width of thirty-fiv- e feet. About 240 feet east of the shaft. Just - before work wee suspended, a fair showing of shtpplng ore was opened up.
