MANHATTAN

Jock Lorentzen and John O'Keefe
will establish a four-horse stage line
between Tonopah and Manhattan in the
very real future, says the Tonopan
Bonanza. They are busily engaged get
ting the proposed line in shape and will
undoubtedly do a rushing business
from the start.
r. w. Thompson has secured the
Spanish Springs property, eight miles
this side of Manhattan and will open p
road house and stage station there next
week. There is water in abundance at
the springs and it will undoubtedly be-
come a popular stopping place.
Mr.. Thompson came in from Man.
haitian Thursday and says that the
camp is bound to become an important
mining city.
Harry Hudson came in from Manhat-
tan last evening and is more enthusiast
tic than ever over the splendid showing
of the district. He especially praises
the lease of those popular Tonopah
boys Chilly Sinclaim, Charley Cole
and Chilly Douglass. He says they
have a wonderful lease and have a ship
ment o. very rich ore ready. The lease
is No. 8 on the Union No. 9 ground ami
is known as the Manhattan Dexter or
pany. The ledge is exceedingly rich;
five ounces of ore from 1t was PANIED
last Sunday and yielded 81, which is
certainly going some. Pete Bart also
has a splendid lease on this claim. Will
cox n McGarry on No. 2 lease have 5
feet of $50 ore at a depth of 40 feet,
whereas the ledge had no values at all
on the surface. Lease No. 3, owned by
Hudson, Miles and Dron is producing
fine shipping ore. This property ad-
joins the "Stray Dog DR.. Ford and
Jack Williams on No. 5 have splendid
showings and are getting good pan
nings. Lease No. 4 on the Stray Dog,
owned by Dron and Brown has a ledge
of good shipping ore. Mr.. Hudson says
a shipment of II tons is now on the
way to Millers from leases 3 and 4 on
the Stray Dog claim which is owned By
Hudson & Vermilyea.
Charles Humphrey was IN arrival in
town last evening on his way to Carson
to spend Christmas with his family. He
says the future of the camp is assured
and that buildings are going up in
every direction. Lumber is in great
demand. Two f-ourteen-animal teams
of building material arrived in camp
Tuesday and every bit of it was sold
within a few minutes.
A newspaper is to be started next
week. The plant is now on the ground
having been hauled in from Belmont.
All of the leases are looking good ar
people are arriving in the young camp
at the rate of thirty a day. Mr.. Hum
phrey says an important strike has just
been made on the Mustang claim of
the Humphrey-Saylor ground, on which
nine leasers are working. A strong
ledge can be traced the full length of
this claim on the surface. Four leases
just been let ON the adjoining
claim, known as the Bronco and which
is owned by Tate and Barker. High
grade showings have been secured from
this ground.
w. J. Douglass, secretary of the
Tonopah Midway company, spent tire,
days at Manhattan this week, and like
all other good mining men who have
been there, says it is a big thing. "Thc
values are there and Manhattan IS
bound to become a great mining
camp said Mr. Douglass on his re-
turn. "It is certainly a big thing"
Others who came in from Manhattan
yesterday to spend Christmas in Ton,-
pah are Elmer Rockwell, NJ. Evoutt,
Davidson, ellis, McGarvy and Nash.
