andjn many ways incomplete des,
cription Of theAIanLattan Cos prop
eety under the Management OF Mr..
E. f. Freudenthal. This week will
be taken up interests Immediately
adjoining on the east in the most
part owned by Mr.. G II. Smith.
The first claim is the Red Cloud
a north aud south contact vein be-
tween lime and pyritic porphyry,
owned by G. H. Smith and Pat
Christian. This ledge is good
four feet wide, cropping prominently
for several hundred feet and carry
ing gold, silver and iron in COM
mercial quantities. Considerable
work i'll the way of tunnels, cross
cuts and surface excorations has
been done on this property, and like
some of the other old claims of this
district has produced it pro rata of
ore to the local smelters here in
earlier days, mostly for its iron
values. Indications are exceedingly
encouraging for deep development.
On the east of the Red Cloud is
the Credit Mobilier claim a north
and south ledge, probably a contin-
uation of the Red Cloud owned by
G. II. Smith, developments on this
claim consists of shaft about 20 fl |
deep, from which a shipment of
chrystalized lead ore WAS once made.
The ledge is rather prominent one
aud has good surface showing.
Adj lining the Credit Mobilier on
the north and paralleling it is the
Augustine claim, through which
runs north and south and an east
aud west lodges. A shaft 40 feet
deep together with short drift dis
closes some valuable chryslalized
lead-silver ore.
The Gold snake claim, owned by |
the same party, adjoins the Angus
tine, but is an east and west ledge,
prominent in extent. From a shaft
20 feet deep on this claim assays
have been had running as high
as $50 in gold per ton, with some
silver.
About 1000 feet southerly and
higher upon the mountain is Smith
Boston claim which shows encourag
ing values for the amount of develop
ment done. These properties all
Join the Manhattan holdings on the
east and lie Immediately in the
great basin at the blse Of Stampede
Gap summit. Through or be-
tween the Credit Mobilier and
Augustine claims porphyry dixie
extends, the lodges from both
claims having tendency to dip
thereto. That all of this group is
good property and will bear de-
velopment there is no doubt.
About one mile south Of the fore
going claims are the Black Girl and
Hatten Tat mines, the former being
fairly well developed. On the Hat
ten Tat there is a shaft about 40 feet
deep and an underground stope 40
feet long by - feet deep, from
which high grade shipping ore has
been extracted from small streak.
The ledge is vertical fssure with
an east and west strike and is an ex-
tension of one OF the rich veins
which penetrate and run through
Mendha hill.
The Black Girl ledge is parallel
fissure with all the characteristic
features of the Hatten Tat, except Ii
is a much larger and is a more pro-
minent vein. Ou this property there
are to shafts respectfully 80 and 80
feet, together with tunnels and
drifts aggregating about 3Oo feet
from which fair grade OF gold,
silver and leud ore shas been extract
ed and most OF which has been
shipped. The vein has been ex-
posed by various surface excorations
for distance OF 1000 feet or more
along its strike. The Black Girl
aud Hatten Tat are considered two
OF the most desirable properties In
this immediate section.
Next week we will take up the
Mendah, Bamberger and other con-
hsious properties.
