CREsCEUv HAS roUH FEET or
HIGH GRADE SHIPPING ORE
Lessees on the Crescent estate are
making one of the great showings in
camp. On the Judson. Metz and Cassin
lease on the southern end of the Cres-
cent claim miners are working in -four
feet of ore that carries gold contents
averaging $3.50 per ton. The product Of
this lease is being sacked as il is hoisted
from the shaft and every pound that
comes up with the buckets is of market
able grade. On the other leases of the
and Reilly Fraction. both of
which belong 10 the Crescent company,
ore that run from $50 to s175 the ton
is being taken out and three sets Of
leasers are now adding substantially to
the total output of Manhattan.
The deepest shaft. which is on the
Judson lease. is down IS feet and
gradual improvement in values has
been noted with every foot of depth
gained. The vein matter is a highly
silicihed lime that is slowly but very
perceptibly changing into a genuine
quartz. SO far no indications of a
change to sulphides has been noted. the
entire product of the property holding
to a perfectly free milling ore. The
other two leases hat are in shipping ore
are working in practically the same
formation and the Crescent now ranks
with the regular shippers that are maxi
ing history for this district.
MONTE cRrsro
The Manhattan Monte Cristo Mining
company owns four claims very close
to the Holland group. and three we'll
define lodges have been uncovered all
yielding good gold values. Active de-
velopment work is being prosecuted on
this property. A rich strike was made
two days ago on a claim adjoining the
Monte Cristo, at the foot of Timber Hill.
1t is stated that a shipment will soon be
from this property. The Monte
Cristo property is but a short distance
from the Old Manhattan mines, which
were worked for silver thirty years ago.
A company has taken over the old Man.
haitian property, and are working 1t for
gold with very good success.
Or the Sherron group just east of the
Old Manhattan property a 2O-foot ledge
has been opened up and shipping ore is
being sacked preparatory to shipment.
STRAY DOG Is PRODUCING
SIX HUNDRED DoLLAR ORE
In the north drift of the c~ompany's
working on the Stray Dog mine from
inches to two feet of 1910 ore
is being broken. This exceptionally rich
ore shoot was opened at a depth of SO
feet and an output aggregating several
tons per day is being maintained. So
much high grade ore has been mined
from the Stray Dog that this important
o.o.t boc oa,rcad xapu 1ittla comment
and yet it is one of the most convincing
proofs of the richness of the property.
Development work is progressing rapid
ly on the mine with the aggressiveness
that marks the work under the direction
of the management and the great value
of the Stray Dog estate is being proved
beyond cavil. Today the property ranks
with the rich producers of Southern
Nevada.
MANHATTAN NEVADA GOLD MINES
Development work on the Georgey group
Of the Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines
is being pushed forward rapidly. The
drift from the bottom of the 75-foot
shaft is now in the hill so feet, and the
face is in good milling ore. Bids will
be out tomorrow to run this drift an
other fifty feet. which will cut the big
quartz ledge and thoroughly open up
the hill on this property. The ore now
being taken out pans very well. and
shipping value are m~omentarily ex-
pected.
INSTALLING MACHINERY ON
MANHATTAN CONSOLIDATED
The plant of machinery for the Man
haitian Consolidated mine has reached
it's destination and is being rapidly in
stalled. Tt consists of a complete hoist
ing equipment capable of a lift 1000
feet. Just as soon as it is in position
the work of sinking the shaft on the
mine will be advanced with all possible
speed The drifts that are being run
from the 50-foot level are proving inn
mense bodies of high grade milling ore
and latest reports from the property
are that from four to six feet of ore
has been disclosed that averages above
5000 per ton. This product is being
sacked for shipment and the prospects
are that the Consolidated, in addition to
being one of the great milling mines
of the country, will prove a heavy ship
per.
MANHATTAN STANDARD
Arrangements are being made to in
a hosting plant with a lifting ca
pacity of 500 feet on the Bald Eagle
claim of the Manhattan Standard com
pany. The main working shaft is down
so feet and is timbered throughout. A
crosscut is now being driven to the
northeast for the purpose of tapping a
four-foot ledge hat outcrops some 40
feet from the shaft. At surface this
vein carries gold contents of $50 to the
ton.
Shaft two has attained a depth of 35
feet and sinking will be continued to
the 100-foot level, when it is the in
tention to crosscut and drift on the ore.
The vein matter at surface is Identical
in appearance to that showing on April
ground and it is believed hen the
Standard is developed at depth that
shining values in place will be encoun-
tered.
