THE MANHATTAN COMPANY'S
MINES


esting items in relation to the mines o.
the Manhat'a an Company at that place:
AT the Curtis shaft OF the Manhattan
Company arrangements are now al
complete for the hosting Of ore. The
guides are in place, the cage is running
and the new stone ore house is so neal
completed as to be ready to receive ore
The crosS-cut from the 5l7-foot level OF
the shaft has cut the Panainint vein,
which at this point-one hundred feet
below the 600-fo level OF the Bow
man incline shows a remarkable
strength, the ore machinery being ever
more regular and richer than in the
breasts above, which ale now worked
through the Bowman incline, and are
yielding large quantities of high grade
ore. St"ping will soon be commenced
at the 5l7-foot level of the shaft, when
the ''big bonanza now displayed in the
Panamint vein will commence yield
ing up its treasures, and there will be a
further increase in the ore production
of the Manhattan Company. Connec-
ton has been made from the 5l7-foot
level of the shaft with the 700. feet
West Panamint level. This will open
up a joint drift of n hundred feet in
length, and give an orc breast on the
Panalnint of one hundred feet in hight.
The drift will hereafter be known un-
der the general name of 517-foot level
of the Curtis shaft. Sinking below
the 5l7-foot level has been continued
in the shaft, in the course of which
two fine stringers of the South Pana-
mint have been cut, both CARRYING high
1ra1n nro in SnfTiainpf ntantitiau to
Justify the running of a cross-cut
south from the 5i7-foot level, through
which orc from said stringers will be
extracted. This cross-cut will also cut
the Paxton ledge, and open it for work
ing through the shaft. When all is in
order for hosting, and all the connec-
tons made for the extraction of ore
from the veins to be worked through
this shaft, the question will be, with the
company, What shall we do with our
ore?' Already the production of the
mines is in advance of the milling ca
pacity, and with the increased produc-
ton, which is inevitable, the matter of
additional milling facilities will be one
which the company nus seriously
consider. The managers of the com
pany are cold-nosed, SO to speak, and
do nothing in a hurry or under the in
fluence of excitement; but should the
improvement in the mines, which has
been manifested during the last sixty
days, continue much further, addi-
tional facilities for reduction will be an
imperative necessity"
a DIRTY DAY.-Yester1ay was as
dirty a day as the greatest enemy to
the human race and clean clothes need
wish to see. All day long the wind
blew a perfect hurricane, sending great
clouds of dust sweeping through the
streets. The streets were all but de-
serted, nobody ~venturing forth into tue
storm of wind and dust unless cofn
PEELED to be abroad. But very few
ladies' were to be seen, none of the fair
sex caring to face the storm unless
absolutely compelled to do so. One
lady, who va Obliged TO go out to get
some trimming for her new dress to
match the shade OF her hair, was lifted
oil her feet by the zephyr as she tried
to turn the corner of Bateman and
Main streets. She was not carried
very far, but it vas plain to be seen
that she was a dis satisfied m
that something preyed on her mind.
Perhaps it was the reflection that she
had neglected TO put on her new
striped stockings aud low-cut shoes,
or IL nay have been that she remein-
bered that she had forgotten to recol-
lect to mend the hole in the stockings
she did have on. Whatever the cause,
1t was evident hat she was mad; and
when a little boy ran against her as
she was forcing her way through the
wind across Main street, she called
him a nasty little brat and said he had
as much cheek as a grown-up man.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT ELKo.-We re-
ceived last evening the following dis
patch from Elko:
Last evening a man giving his name
as Peter Keenan,, who said he had a
cousin named Neil Sweeney living in
Eureka, waS run over in the Central
Pacific yard last night by freight train
No. s, going west. He was taken to
the hospital, where Doctors Meigs and
Huntington proceeded to amputate his
limbs. but they were crushed in such
"A terrible that he survived the
necessary surgical operations only a
few minutes.
SAVE Your PAPER.-We publish to-
day, on the fourth page, the corrected
lists of registered voters for the two
Eureka precincts. Persons wishing
the lists for reference will do we'll to
save their copies OF this number of the
paper. We are short of noupareil
type and will have to distribute the
matter to-day, as we need the type for
other purposes; consequently we will
be unable To print all of the precinct
