MANHATTAN MECCA
OF PROSPECTORS
Many Finds Being Made and a
Stampede to the New
District Is On.

Senator Oddie and Joe Miller of
Austin own the old Manhattan mine.
which produced 500, 900 in days
gone by. This property has his
tory. 1t seems that nine years ago.
Adam Mclean, then treasurer of Nye
County, stole the county funds in
order to develop the mine, which he
owned at the time. Before he could
put it on a paying basis, however, his
defalcations were discovered and he
committed suicide. The county se-
cured the mine and six years ago
sold it to Senator Oddie and Joe
Miller, it's present owners.
There is a ledge 80 feet wide on
the property and though it is low
grade, it is believed the values will
greatly increase, with depth.
Tony Stanton and o., e. Painter
came in from Manhattan this week
and bought some specimens from the
Clark property that show clusters of
gold of flakes that look like nuggets.
Mr. Stanton says there are a number
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-08-05

of immense dykes running through
the country and from these the
values are obtained. Some assays
have run into the thousands, one go
ing $4,000.
Billy Sinclair and Thomas Ken
dali have secured a choice lease and
have put force of men to work on
it. They obtained assays of $500
from the ledge that outcrops and
should make good stake from their
lease.
Jack Salisbury and wife spent
few days at the new camp this week
and have some splendid claims. They
returned to Tonopah Thursday night
for supplies and left for the camp
again this morning.
James McCambridge and Ray Rich

plete prospecting QUIT and will re-
main at Manhattan several days.

hauled four miles and worked in an
arrastra and is said to have yielded
by this process some $200,000.0O.
There are several dumps of easy ac-
cess, that contain 5000 tons of ore
showing an assay value of $500;
there is also at the arrastra on the
ranch 1900 tons of tailings that as
say $S.4S.
The Candelaria, Contact and Con-
tact No. l are prospected by open
cuts and pits exposing a three foot
vein.
The average value of the ore, in
cluding gold, silver and lead, is
1888 per ton, but the ore contains
an average of 1852 per cent of lead
There is standing in the mine
ready for extraction, sufficient ore to
keep a ten stamp mill running for
one year and estimating that ten
stamp mill will crush an average of
fifty tons per day, the value Of the
ore would be $3.50. $40, as follows:
$4,000 tons of ore standing in the
mine at 1888. $6OS,54O; 5000
tons of ore on dumps, $S.66, $751;
$50; 5000 tons of tailings, S.4s
$25,44O; total $6SO,94O.
A ten stamp mill will be erected
as soon as the machinery and ma.
| terial can be put on the ground.
The mines are of easy access by
wagon road. There is a shipping
point at Coaldale on the Tonopat
railroad so miles distant and an
other at Alvord on the Carson
Colorado railroad "a miles distant
A new road is about completed from
Alvord to Pigeon springs, reducing
the distance to 35 miles.

Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1905-08-05

President Charles IL. Knox OF the
Montana-Tonopah Mining Company
has issued a call for the third an
nual meeting of this great company,
TO be held at Salt Lake, Utah, Sep
tember 12, next. He has also ad
dressed a letter to the stockholders,
that is self-explanatory and from
which we quote as follows;
"For the benefit of those who will
be unable to attend the annual meet
ing, except by proxy, ! feel it in
cumbent upon me, as president OF the
company, to make statement Of
facts relative to the difference of
opinion existing in the present board
of directors. The Hine directors are,
without exception, in favor Of divi-
dends. None of these directors re-
ceiye a salary. That of the secretary
and treasurer is the only elective
Office carrying with it salary. The
present secretary and treasurer is not
director. 1t will therefore be seen,
that the only way in which director
or an officer can derive financial bene-
fits from his holdings, is as a stock
holder, through dividends alone.
Heretofore. the board, as a rule, has
been harmonious and a unit on all
questions of policy. However, as soon
as surplus began to accumulate in
our treasury, some of the directors
became restive and at least two Of
them advocated the declaration of q
500. 900 dividend when our cash i'll
hand amounted to only $4,000. They
contended that. during the tine that
must necessarily elapse between the
declaration and the payment, the ore
then in transit, ana the shipments
going out daily, would not only furn-
ish the funds necessary TO meet the
dividend, but would also provide q
substantial surplus. In justice tC
one OF these directors, will say that
as soon as he learned that Mr. Gillies
our general manager and superin
tendent, would sever his connection
with our company in the near future
he came out squarely against The
declaration of a dividend. until Mr.
Gillies' successor could be selected
But for the active opposition OF
Mr.. Dunlap and the telegraphic pro
test Of four Of the absent directors
three directors, Ellis, Macdonald ant
Bartlett, would have declared a divi
dend, July 10, when the cash OF
hand would barely have paid the divi
dend and met the expenses for the
current month
Realizing that Il would be mani
testify improper to declare the divi
dend in the face of these protests
they decided to hold an adjourned
session Of this meeting at Reno, Jul!
LIST, and all Of the directors were mott
fed by wire. There were present a
the Reno meeting, Messrs Ellis, Bart
lett Dickson. Macdonald, Nixon
Badgett, Dunlap and Knox. Mr. Nor
ris had not returned from the east
