OF MANHATTAN DISTPIcr

Manhattan, New. Oct. 10.-At no time
since the FIRST rush to this camp has
mining activity been as pronounced as
at present, nor has there ever been a
period in its history when mining eff
fort was as well directed. results were
fruitful and success more certain Even
during the heated priod of the past two
months work on the various mining
properties has been prosecuted with Wig
or and with the advent OF cooler weather
the increase in activity is pronounced.
Not alone does this very satisfactory
condition of affairs prevail at the mines
in the more advanced stages of devel-
opment, but applies equally to the pre-
ferred prospects and to claims in the
outlying sections. in the latter instance
applying more particularly, perhaps. to
the extreme east of the belt and to
North Manhattan.
MANHATTAN BUTLER
Over in the North Manhattan country.
about 4 miles from this camp. the Man
haitian Butler company is prosecuting
development on a mining estate four
miles in extent. Tunnels and shafts are
opening up ore bodies on various Sec
lions Of the acreage. and in the case OF
two of the tunnels fortune is already
in sight. In each of the bores there is
showing a well defined ledge showing
some gold in the free and maintaining
a commercial grade of milling ore the
full width of the breast. There seems
little question but what each of these
veins will prove to be money makers
with but little further development as
gold values are increasing as they are
explored.
MANHATTAN STANDARD.
An influx of water in the main work
ing shaft of the Manhattan STANDARD
has forced the management tC
cease sinking until sue time as g
pump can be installed to handle the
flow. In the interior a crosscut Is be.
ing run out just above water level
100 feet-for the purpose of tapping thu
big ledge which dipped In and out OF
the shaft between the 80 and SO foo
points. Al the cut is extended the breas

there will be an increase in values

operations.
CONSOLIDATED ExTENsIoN.
The lager of the Consolidate,
Extension Mine is piling up a large ton
mage of mill grade ore, the entire pro
duct coming from the Sc foot ledg'
showing in the main tunnel. About fou
thousand tons of 1913 per ton rock are OF
the dump and the huge pile is beini
augmented with daily regularity. Ever.
pound of quartz mined is of commercial
mill grade and there appears to be al
unlimited supply to draw upon. Som
of the ore has an average gold grad
we'll above $3.50 the ton, but no attemp
is made to separate it from the Jesse
grade quartz. the company being con

where Hudson and Vermilyea mined
fortune within a few months. The Stra.
Dog is easily one of the very larges
mining propositions in the Manhattan
district and mining men in general con
cede that it will develop into one of tn
biggest bonanzas in the Sage Brusl
state.
AS-YOU-LIKE-IT.
Among the preferred prospects OF

results being obtained at the presen

Two big main working shafts are beinI
utilized as mediums for proving up tn
acreage well down in the permanent or

more pronounced. There is a stroni
