H INDIAN CAMP

One of the important developments of
recent date at the property of the In
dian Camp Manhattan Mining company
is the location at surface of a ledge 20
feet in width which presents mineral in
dications of exceptional promise. Grass
root assays across 6 feet of the vein
matter average sSs in gold to the ton
and the entire deposit has an average
value of SO per ton.
The ledge was encountered at a
point IS feet distant from the main
working shaft and a crosscut is now be-
ing sent out to it from the 50-foot level.
Excellent progress is being made and
the vein should be intercepted, inter-
sected and proved up within the text
10 days.
At the same time that prosecuting is
in vogue at the 50-foot level sinking is
on in the shaft and will continue until
a depth of 100 feet is gained when a
station is to be cut and a series of
~laterals run out. While not in the vein
system proper the rock hoisted has an
average value of IS in gold to the ton, a
characteristic which proves that the
acreage is well mineralized.
Lessees at surface are working the
gravel for placer gold and are doing so
with profit despite the handicap ofprimi-
tive apparatus and the fact hat water
costs them $3.50 per barrel. The aurif-
erous surface deposit spreads out pretty
much all over the estate and at points
in the gulches it's enrichment is par
ticularly noticeable. This condition to-
gether with the very encouraging assays
obtained from the country formation be-
ing penetrated by the shaft leads the
management to believe that high grade
ore bodies will be found to extend over
a large area at depth.
Since the recent discovery of the 20
foot ledge development is being prose-
cuted with even greater optimism by
the management as the opinion prevails
that a pay crack will be found when the
vein is intersected at the 50-foot level.
This ledge is likewise to be crosscut
and tested at the 100-foot level and If
grade is located on the level
above it will doubtless prevail below
and afford a large area of stopping

MANHATTAN COMBINATION

Mining interest in camp is centered
at this time on developments at the
Black Mammoth claim of the Manhattan
Combination Mining where a
surface strike of really remarkable pro-
portions was made a few days ago.. The
find was made in the huge, iron stained,
well oxidized outcrop that crosses the
hill almost due east and west, and the
extensive area permeated by the values
assures a large production of shipping
grad ore.
Across s feet of the ledge free gold
occurs in cube, spiral and leaf form and
the specimens mined compare favorably
in beauty and value with any ever
found in the camp. For that entire
breadth the screenings-largely mixed
with surface dirt-return values of
$109 per ton, and the coarse rock as
says at the rate of $500 in gold to the
ton. The product is being sacked and
quite a tonnage is piling up at surface
awaiting shipment.
AS many men as can be utilized to adj
vantage are at work stripping the ledge
in the tunnel which is being extended
along the strike of the pay crack and
gold values are holding well under the
test Of development. The ledge dips
into the hill and has again been tapped
feet north of the surface workings. The
ore in the bottom of the shaft shows no
depreciation in grade from that being
mined to the south and the vein forma-
ton is considerably harder.

litical or social"
With this generalization we have no
concern As to the copper situation,
the comment was pat. It had been
suddenly disclosed, not only that no
combination could be made to include
the European mines, but that the Con-
solidated company had an unsold sur
plus OF i50,0vO,000 pounds of copper;
that It was producing 20,000,0O0 pounds
month more than could be sold, and
that 1t had made large secret sales
abroad at from two to three cents be-
low the market price.
AS II fearing that these adverse con-
ditions did not sufficiently insure the
stocks downfall, the Shepler group of
Federal Oil operators beat It down
further with what was vertically a
golden sledge. That is, they exported
gold at loss. At time when obliga-
lions could have been met more cheap
ly with bought bills they sent out
many golden cargoes at an actual loss
Of $500 on the half million. AS money
was already dear, and thus became
dearer, the temptation and the means
to hold copper stock, in spite of all dis
couragements, were removed from the
paths Of hundreds Of the harried hold

FIGURES ABOUT SALT.

The United States consumes '26,872, 700 bar
rels Of salt annually, a barrel for every three
persons in the land. Last year it went abroad
for only 1,151 1913 barrels In 1880 63.5 per cent
of the salt used in our country was of home pro-
ducton. Last year 95.7 per cent of the product
consumed produced within the borders of
this country In 1880 the consumption in this
country was only 93S4,263 barrels. Thus we see
that the people of the United States using
nually three times much salt as they used 26
years ago.
Only 5,961 600 barrels were produced in this
country in 1880, and the consumers were forced
to go abroad for 3,427,639 barrels. Last year the
total production at home was rs, 1872 barrels.
