The MANHATTAN
THANKSGIVING

This property adjoins the Broncho
and Mustang claims at Manhattan, and
now that rich ore has been discovered
in three foot ledge, running length
wise of the claim, the Broncho com
pany is preparing to renew develop
ment work in the hope that they will
encounter the rich ledge of the Thanks
giving. Many people seem to be Of
the impression that the Manhattan
companies are not working as they
should, but to witness the activity
around the Thanksgiving company's
properties would convince the onlooker
that the only aim of the company was
to develop and spend the stockholders
money in careful and conservative
manner.

DIAMOND DRILL CUTS
A VERY RICH LEDGE

The effectiveness of drilling for ore
has been conclusively proven by the
Goldfeld Water company, which, in
sinking well for water, has cut
through big ledge that give returns
of $95 and $103 ton, according to a
dispatch of the 14th inst. The find was
made three miles west of the city on
ground that is owned by some eastern
people. This is the first discovery of
Importance that has come from the
aims, and it will undoubtedly result
ii their being opened up.
The drillers paid little attention to
tie black substance which they were
taking from the hole until they had
sunk over 400 feet. Then their curios-
ity induced them to take samples for
assay, with the result that the returns
ran exceedingly high.
Recent tests show that the drill cut
through the ledge for distance of
70 feet, which indicates good width un-
less it stands almost perpendicular.

MASSIVE SHOOT
In BONANZA MT.
Tunnel in the Original Tramp
has Exposed Body Of Ore

There is drift tunnel around on the
west slope of Bonanza mountain that
people do not know much about, but
which is going to output an enormous
amount of milling ore, according to a
dispatch from Rhyolite of the 18th inst.
The center tunnel, or manganese
tunnel" " on the original Tramp ground,
has exposed continuous shoot of mill
ing ore for more than 300 feet. The
ore was opened at the surface and has
been followed over 300 feet, values
being shown over every foot, and in
places crosscuts have exposed 10 to IL
feet of ore in width, although the ore
has not been fully developed in width
anywhere in the workings.
This tunnel has gained a vertical
depth of nearly 200 feet, and will have
fully that depth when it reaches the
Hobo ledge, 100 feet ahead. At the
junction of the two ledges arich shoot
may reasonably be expected. The
manganese tunnel is exploring one Of
the several lodges that form the big
Tramp vein system, which is the back
bone of the southern portion of Bonan-
"a mountain, On the surface the
several ledges, which are believed to
come together with depth, have a com
bined width of between $50 and 800
feet and paintings are obtained wher-
ever the manganese quartz is exposed.
This one ledge alone will be big pro-
ducer-one of the many substantial
assets of the recently formed Tramp
Consolidated company.
The long crosscut tunnel on the origi-
nal Eclipse ground is 100 feet past the
Eclipse ledge, and continues to show
silcified rhyolite and manganese quartz
stringers. Superintendent Lester is of
the opinion that the tunnel is in the
Lester ledge. The Hobo ledge should
be reached in this tunnel in less than
month. Superintendent Lester says
that all of the material exposed by
the tnnnel since encountering the
Eclipse ledge has the appearance of
being gangue matter. The work in the
Tramp tunnel and the red quartz
tunnel, also in the drifts on the Eclipse
ledge, is being continued along the
lines previously noted.

TEN-FOOT BODY
in GREAT BEND
Rich Body Of Ore Opened Up On the
2OO-FOOt Level

In the Great Bend at Goldfield on the
2O0-foot level they have opened an ore
vein in distance of 20 feet that meas
ures 10 feet from wall to wall. 1t is
the most perfectly defined ore body
ever seen in the district and will un-
doubtedly develop into something out
of the usual. The ore is heavy sui
phide, but at the point intersected it
carries only fair milling values; the ore
shoot lies west, and it will be necessary
to drift possibly 20 feet before reaching
it. Another ore shoot lies east and
drifting toward that point has also be-
gun. Meanwhile, the crosscut is being
pushed toward the known veins that
lie farther down the hill and will even
tually open three or four veins to a
depth approximately of 200 feet.
The ore shipping for the month will
be small, as the chief attention has
been paid to development. The man.
agement is arranging for a power hoist
that will probably be on the ground and
in operation within 10 or Is days.

Thrown From a Horse

A little lad named George Hildebrand
was riding horse to water last Sun
day evening about 6 O'Clock, when the
horse became gay all of a sudden, and,
plunging about, threw the boy off and
stepped on his head. An employe of
the boys father, who was at work near
by, on seeing the accident, ran to the
youths assistance. The lad, who was
unconscious, was carried to his home
and DR.. Roberts summoned. An ex-
animation by the surgeon showed that
while the boys head was badly cut in
different places, butthe wounds were
only superficial. The doctor dressed the
wounds and the boy will be all right in
a few days.

One Of the Biggest Finds in the
History Of TOnOpah==
Other Properties

In the west drift on the 3OO-foot leve
OF the McNamara mine, five feet Of
high grade ore shows up. Many streaks
IN this ledge assay as high as $1,000 a
ton, but taking the ledge as whole
$500 to the ton is a conservative esti.
mate. The vein is widening as work
progresses. Over one hundred tons
per month is the present output of the
mine. Forty tons shipped on the 10th
ult. netted $4,634.29. The cost of.ship-
ping, sampling and smelling was
$34. 65 per ton.
On the 600-foot level of the Belmont
mine large bodies of high grade ore are
being opened up, there being an i'm
mense amount of this ore in reserve.
A 100 h. p. electric hoist has been re-

WHAT HAS BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
A RICH STRIKE
In THE BOOTH

AS we were going to press the report
came to this place that an exceedingly
rich strike was made in the Booth mine
at Goldfeld. The report is not authen-
tic and details are very meager. How
ever, we give it as we received it and
hope to be able to give further details
In our next issue. Those who are
prosecuting developments on the prop
erty have been in daily expectancy of
striking something good. from which
we draw the inference that their fond
hopes have been realized. This prop
erty has all the earmarks of dividend
producer and the report, meager as it
may be, is nevertheless very gratifying.

passed through the dyke into the por-
phyry. Awaiting the arrival of new
machinery, the Dixie hoist has been
bought and installed. The 150-foot
point will be reached before any cross
cutting is done. Six-drill air plant has
been purchased.
On the east lease the shaft is down
65 feet. The gallows frame from the
Wallace lease has been purchased and

A Mill for Round Mountain

1t is probable that Round Mountain
will have a mill in operation before one
is started in Manhattan. This is a
happy circumstance for the new camp
and comes about because group of
energetic mining men, including R. L.
Colburn and associates, have good
Round Mountain properties and also
have good water supply in the north
fork of Jefferson creek.
A. S. Riggs returned from Reno the
first of the week where he ordered
milling machinery and 10-inch water
piping. The mill will have ten stamps
and will be open to custom ore.
While at Reno, Mr.. Riggs also
ordered two steam hoists, one is for
the Consolidated Extension in this
camp and the other is for the Manhat-
tan Red Top.
The work in the Extension now is 60
ing on in winze, in the tunnel that
tapped the big 45-foot fissure. The
winze has been sunk 35 feet on the foot
wall of this ledge and is in good ore
that pans freely all the way. At the
lOO-foot level in this winze the ledge
will be crosscut again. When this stage
OF development is reached, it is believed
that the Consolidation Extension will
have an amount of ore blocked out that
will entitle it to rank with the best
mining properties in southern Nevada.
Work on the Manhattan Red Top is
progressing in two shifts. One is down
80 feet on a 3-foot ledge, which is
thought to be the Extension ledge.
The other shaft is down 60 feet and
there is six feet of ore in the bottom. =

Bullfrog Water pipe Line Sold

Monday, together with the water
supply, by H. H. Clark to Schwab and

same we have not learned but as the
cost for the installation of the plant
was something like $15O,0OO we infer
that the selling price was in good round
numbers.

without any signs as yet of the foot
wall and the ore is of high grade
character. A new ledge which was
struck south of the shaft has uniform
width of about two feet and the ore is
all Of the shipping kind showing high
values.
The 15O h. p. electric hoist which was
recently installed on the Siebert shaft
of the Mizpah is running perfectly.
The work of prosecuting is in progress
on the 400 and 500-foot levels of the
Red Plume shaft with good results.
The gallows frame is finished and the
100 h. p. hoist is on the ground ready
for installation.
The rs h. p. electric hoist on the
Valley View shaft is completed, as is
also the large gallows frame.
Work on the large 1OO-stamp mill at
Miller's Siding has been delayed to
some extent owing to the fact that GER
tain portions Of the machinery which
had been ordered from San Francisco
could not be had after the disaster.
About 200 men are employed and it is
believed that the mill will be ready for
operation along toward the end of the
present year.

zens of Tonopah the necessity of raising
the funds for this purpose. Only about
three miles of road would have to be
improved, and the same road would
be available for hauling ore to the rail-
