RICH ORE FROM MANHATTAN
The First shipment Of Ore Arrives in
Tonopah
(Tonopah Miner.l

The first load of shipping ore from
the Manhattan district arrived in Tono-
pah Thursday, for shipment to Soda
Vile. where il will be treated at the
Stewart mill. The shipment, which
weighs nearly ten tons, was in charge
of armed men to protect some of the
sacks containing ore worth from 81 to
IS a pound. The average value of the
shipment, however, is shown by the
ASSAYS to he about $4,6S0 a ton, which
would make it the richest shipment
ever made from T~onopah, the record
having been held up to the present time
by eight tons from the Zinn lease on
the Jumbo, which realized $1,000 a ton
This shipment is accompanied 20
Sodaville by f. +. Seyler and +. g.
humphrey, it's owners, who located the
ground and are also the discoveries of
the district. II was followed on the
same day by six tons from the lease
owned by c. Humphrey and Bob Stew
art, ON the same group, which will as
say from $3.50 TO $4,000 a ton and is
being sent down as a mill test. Mr..
Seylef stated that the shipment he is
taking out was extracted in sinking
the shaft to a depth of so feet, the vein
being from A to 8 feet wide, and prae-
tically no sorting has been done. On
the same property a shipment is now
ready from the Stanton lease which
assays from $3.50 TO $500 a ton.
At the lease owned by Harry Hud-
son, DR.. Elton Davis and Fancher Bros.
shipping ore worth about 5000 a tor is
also being sacked, and a shipment
worth about 5000 a ton is ready for
hauling from the Van 'Patten lease,
while the Dago lease, owned by Pete
Bart, is also producing some splendid
ore.
On the adjoining claims, originally
located by Joe Craig, but now in dis
pute, although in possession of Dan
Mcnamara, a vein from A to s feet
wide has been opened up for a length
of 400 feet which, according to pan
nIngs, should assay about 500 a ton.
One mile south of there Stoker Bros.
have opened up n vein Is feet wide
showing free gold, but no assays have
been made.
About 400 men are scattered through
out the district, and it is impossible to
enumerate the number of veins carry
ing milling values which have been
opened up. The Importance Of these
new discoveries cannot be too strongly
emphasized. There is ample wood for
years to come and water In abundance.
The town of Manhattan is growing
rapidly. Every lot has been sold and
two additions are now on the market,
and it is predicted that both town and
district will soon rival Goldfeld, with
the advantages of free water, and wood
for cost of cutting and hauling.

Possibilities.

After having spent several months
Investigating the mineral resources of
the Nevada gold fields, and about two
weeks in the careful study of forma
ton and general characteristics Of this
district, I cannot help but feel that the
possibilities for the same are excep
t~ionally good, and / have no hesitancy
in recommending this group Of claims
to you or your friends as a safe and
reliable mining investment.
Ny opinions are entirely based on
the favora.4e m~ineralized conditions
existing in this territory and the un
usual high results of my assays. |
doubt if better results were obtained
ON any of the big producers
in the Go.dfield district at the time of
their discovery, and certain it is that
no better mineralized conditions ex
listed at the vein out-crop than car be
found along the course of the veins on
your property.
With sufficient capital TO properly
develop the property, it is my firm be
lief that a mine of great value will be
made. Not at any point along this
great m~ineralized zone of the Nevada
desert does better conditions exist or
more favorable signs of a big producer
being found.-Samuel G. Knott.

AT LONE
Visitors Pleased With Showing at
Nevada Alpine Mine

ThOs. j.. Lynch, accompanied by h.
b. Cushman, secretary of the board If
trade; Austin Jackson, late manager of
the Rocco Homestake mine, and Clyde
Jackson, the well-known mining engi-
neer, visited the Nevada-Alpine mine
on Sunday last to inspect the new ore
body recently discovered. The visitors
were all greatly surprised and pleased
at the splendid showing in the mine.
Mr.. Lynch states that the recent de-
velopments have doubled his confidence
in the property and the district gen
orally, and tend to prove what he has
always maintained, that depth would
demonstrate this to be a great miner II
district. The ore body at the Nevada
Alpine was cut by a tunnel 600 feet
long and about $50 feet below the sur
face. 1t is now nearly 2 feet wide and
is rapidly widening in the winze that
Is being sunk on it; in fact, there IS
every indication that a vast ore cham
Der, such as are sometimes found in
lead mines, will be opened up This
ore is believed to be the main ore body,
the other vein which has been such a
splendid producer probably being an
offshoot from it. It's values are about
the same except for a slight increase
in copper; in fact, the returns from all
ore shipped show a remarkable regu-
.larity. The company has about twenty
men at work and is shipping about
thirty tons of ore a month. Mr.. Lynch
states that this ore is taken out only
in course of development work and the
output could be enormously increased
if desired, but the object of the man
.agement is to thoroughly open up the
mine. Some splendid samples of the
ore may be seen at the Office of the
'Tonopah board of trade.
Preparations are being made at the
Acknowledgement mine to
shipments as soon as the sampler at
Miller's Wells is ready for business at
the end of the month. Word was re-
.ceived last evening that the vein had
been struck in a tunnel 500 feet south
of the shaft assaying $41.S5 a ton in
silver and lead across IS inches. Sacks
were sent out to the mine today.
John Labetta, j. w. Travers and A..
j. Poak this week bonded to Joseph s..
Jordan, for San Francisco capitalists,
the Mountain Lion claims, near the
Tonopah Monarch ground. The prop
erty has a good surface showing Of
shipping ore.
The Lone Mountain Miners associa-
ton has received = letter from f.. A..
King of Chicago, stating that he is in
hearty accord with the work now be-
ing carried ont by the association, and
that he viii arrive in Tonopah early IN
November to resume work on the GEN
erai Thomas mine, owned by the Tono-
pah-Belcher Mining company of which
no is president.
The Columbia Gold and Silver Min
ing company is working two shifts and
the shaft is now down 100 feet, at
which point the vein continues to. show
excellent values. -Tonopan Miner.

/. the Gold Crater district had an op
~portunity to look over the property of
the wellington association and the de
velopment that is being done on 1t un-
der the management Of Mr.. Sam G..
.,nott.
while the property is as yet in an
undeveloped condition the surface
showing and development to date gives
promise of a mine of very great mag
nitude.
The formation and the conditions in
connection with the ore occurrences in
this property are practically identica
with those Of the best portions Of the
Goldield district. While the surface
showing both as to quantity and value
is fully equal to anything | have seen
in this region.
The work Mr.. Knott is doing on the
property is the most business like
piece of development work that have
seen in the outlying camps.
Yours very truly,

By a clerical error it was stated in
our issue OF July 29th that the Cali
fornia owned 300 feet decided by the
Consolidated Virginia, and IL should
have been noted that it already owned
$50 feet contiguous, and with these $50
feet on the course of the lode the Cali
fornia Mining company was incorpor-
ated in December, 1873, with a capital
of s1O,S soc. 900 in shares of 800 each.
In February, 1875, the capital was in
creased to s54,000,000, probably be-
cause in the previous month the stock
under the old capitalization sold as
high as $3.50 a share, although the mine
was not producing. Later on in that
same year the mine produced 5,123
tons. netting the company s4s2,Of9.
Commencing April, 1875, the regular
output of the mine was ~ follows;

This vast amount of bullion was
taken from above water level, and it
is the belief of many that below that
level the ore is just as good.
The Crown Point was another nota-
ble producer on the Comstock lode,
from a length of 600 feet adjoining the
'Belcher mine. IT was first incorpor-
alter in 1861 with a capital of $4,000
900, which was subsequently increased
to $2,400,0 900 in 1864, to $4,000, 600 N
1867, and finally in 1872 to $4,000, 900,
the par value of the shares being 800
each. Payable ore was first struck at
a depth of $50 feet in 1862, but the
main body was not cut until 1866, on
the 400-foot level. In 1870 another
!" bonanza was opened up, which gave
new life to the property and also did
much TO restore general confidence IN
the district. The official reports IF

This wa the close OF the meteoric
career Of the California mine. The up
per levels exhausted, the lower leads
flooded, from 1881 to 1884 the com
PAW levied assessments amounting to
$, ,404, 900, and in October, 1884, the
property lost its individuality and was
merged into the Consolidated Cali
fornia and Virginia Mining company.
The Belcher mine was another great
bonanza. 1t was discovered in 1859 by
A. Belcher, after whom 1t was named,
and who opened up pay ore near the
surface, but no reliable record of his
shipments is obtainable. In 1868 the
mine was Incorporated with a capital
of sl.040,000, which in 1872 was in
creased to 100000 600. During 1869
and 1870 55,2ss tons of ore were crush
ed. yielding $~l,570,370, or about $32
1 ton, all of which was mined from
shove the 730-foot level. In August,
