NEWS OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
Especial Correspondence.)

Manhattan, New, Aug. 14-No portion
or the Manhattan Mining district is be-
Ing developed with more satisfactory
result than that section extending to the
east and northeast of the Seyler-Hum-
phrey estate. The entire area is crisis
crossed by a series of well mineralized
lodges whose outcrops are traceable
across long stretches of rolling hill and
craggy butte. On all sides evidences Of
the delivers are present. Prospect shafts
dot the landscape as thickly as holes in
a prairie dog village tunnels pierce the
hillsides in every direction, their aurif-
erous dumps indicating where the search
for fortune is on; open cuts scar the
slopes. resembling in appearance the
hastily constructed i-ntrenchments of
the outpost of an army; huge gallows
frames stretch their tessellated lengths
skyward; giant smoke stacks push their
lengths upward like mammoth tele-
scopes; the exhaust of steam breaks
sibilant upon the ear; the canons echo
and re-echo with the rumbling detona-
tlOn of giant pOwder

pierced the hill a distance of 500 feet
and contact with the lead sought is ex-
peeted with but little further drifting.
The breast of the big drift is completely
hlied with mineral and the quartz pans
Well above average. A number of veins
nave been cut in transit and from each
OF them gold bearing quartz of milling
grade has been secured. Free gold
shows in the rock at various points and
picked samples assay better h $500

ore zone is well entered it is the inten-
ton Of the management to send out
drifts along these lodges in search of
pay grade in bulk.

MANHATTAN CONSOLIDATED

A depth Of $50 feet has been gained
in the main working shaft on Manhattan
Consolidated ground and for the last
30 feet it is all in ore with no footwall
in sight. At the 100-foot point a sta
ton has been cut, but no attempt is to
be made to prove up the ore at that
depth. Sinking is progressing with dis
patch and will continue until a depth of
200 feet is gained when the ledge will
be crosscut and drifted on. Additional
importance attaches to the tapping of
the vein from the fact that it carries
sulphides, a characteristic which in
sures it's permanency and precious metal
values.
One of the best evidences of the faith
the owners have in the property is the
hosting plant recently installed. Mo-
tive power is generated by means of
steam and the boiler n engine are
each of So horse power. The latter
has a lifting capacity from a depth of
1000 feet. The machinery is housed in
a large, fire proof, corrugated iron
building commodious enough to permit
of the installing of a compressor plant
as soon as development has progressed
sufficiently to warrant the use of air
drills

EYLER-HUMPHREY

Now hat the hoist on the War Eagle
claim of the Seyler-Humphrey COM
pany is in commission sinking has been
resumed in the main shaft and is to
continue until a depth of 200 feet is
gained when the April Fool and other
lodges which cross the estate are to be
crosscut and drifted on. Among other
veins which will be tested will be the
one on which the shaft was started but
which ultimately dipped out to the east.

MANHATTAN RED TOP

On the Manhattan Red Top estate de-
velopment work is confined at present
to driving a tunnel to connection with
a shaft which was sun to a consider
able depth when work on the property
was first taken up. The bore is now in
the hill a distance of 60 feet and will
reach the objective point in about 20
feet more of drifting. A large and well
mineralized ledge is showing in the
tunnel, but gold values at the present
depth are nominal. 1t is the intention
of the management to prove up this
lead at a point we'll below the tunnel
level and present development is being
furthered with that object in view. Sew
eral large dykes cross the estate n as
they all yield a liberal string of colors
at surface the chances are favorable to
their making into extensive bodies of
shipping grade ore with depth and de-
velopment. The property adjoins that
of the Consolidated Extension company
and carries the same vein system.

ZANZIBAR

Not far distant from the Pine Nut
acreage is located the estate of the
Manhattan Zanzibar company which,
like it's neighbors. is net worked with
lodges whose outcrops pan and assay
well. A tunnel is being run for the
purpose Of intersecting the main Con-
solidated Pine Nut ledge and IT is also
to be utilized as a medium for testing
out h veins running parallel and

PINE NUT

Adjoining the Consolidated estate is
the acreage of the Manhattan Pine Nut
which is rapidly developing
into one of the very best mineral bear
ing propositions in the east end of the
district. 1t carries the c~ontinuation of
the Consolidated vein system, a fact
which has been in"controvertibly estab-
Iished by a joint survey of the proper
ties. The double compartment shaft is
down 10 feet on it's way to water level
and sinking is being furthered with all
possible speed. Superintendent Bene-
dict expects to cut the main Console
dated ledge at a depth Of 200 feet and
If his deduction is not at fault he will
cut a station at that point, crosscut and
drift on the ore. An additional depth
of 20 feet is gained each week and the
close of the present month should find
the shaft nearing the objective mark.
Recently a small feeder was cut in the
shaft which pans freely and shows a
little free gold.
In the old shaft on the property the
water level and s~ulphide zone were en-
simultaneously at a depth of
IS feet but the new shaft is as yet dry
as a powder horn. Benedict intends
sending 1t dow to water before sink
ing ceases and has prepared for seepage
by purchasing a sinking pump and a
large supply of pipe so as to obviate
any delay in operations when water is
encountered. Like the Consolidated, the
Pin Nut property is equipped with a
50-horse power steam hosting plant.
1t is housed in a fire proof building Of
sufficient size to permit of the placing

TIE INDIAN CAMP

Two shifts of miner are pushing the
main working shaft on the Indian Camp
down to the 300-foot level and at hat
depth a crosscut is to be u out to tap
the ledge which dipped out of the shaft
at a depth of so feet. A station has
been cut at the 50-foot level and a
crosscut started to contact with a ledge
which crops a few feet west of the
shaft. At surface his ledge yields very
satisfactory paintings and assays. The
dry washers on the Indian Camp are
being worked to advantage as the
clean up amounts to from two to three
ounces of gold per day per machine. AS
the washer are operated at a minimum
of expense their operators are all max
ing money as a result of their venture.

INDIAN CAN'T EXTENSION

The Indian Camp Extension Mining
company has taken over the Auction
and Boston mining claims, located by
Waldo ]. Clark, a Manhattan pioneer.
The acreage is located west of the In
dian Camp and south of the Wolftone
and carries a continuation of several of
the lodges traversing each of those well
known estates. The main ledge on the
Boston is directly in line with the In
dian Camp and it's outcrop has been sue
cessfully p~rospected for a length of 500

MANHATTAN STANDARD

With the starting of the plant on the
Bald Eagle claim of the Manhattan
Standard Gold Mining company sinking
has been SUI in No. 2 shaft, which
was selected as the main working me-
dunn several months ago. Its present
depth is IS feet and it is to b. deepened
to the 150-foot point before attempt is
made to prove up. At a depth of 35 feet
a ledge made its appearance in the shaft,
dipping out again at the 4S-foot point.
A 6-inch streak of the quartz returned
average gold values of SIS the ton and
the entire body was good mill dirt. This
ledge is to be reached at a depth of $50
feet by means of a %crosscut. whe the
management anticipates locating pay
ore in place. The ledge is unquestion-
ably a true assure and is encased in a
contact of shale and lime. 1t is similar
in character to the rich April Fool lead
and like the latter shows some gold in
the free.

CONSOLIDATED EXTENSION

interest in this center of mining ac-
tivity is focused upon the estate of the
Manhattan Consolidated Extension COM
pany where a strike of paramount i'm
p%ortance to the camp was made a few
days ago. The find was made in the
tunnel by means of which the acreage
is being developed and it's proportions
and gold grade have a bearing upon the
future output of the property of almost
incalculable value. The ore body is
showing Is feet in width with no walls
in sight and has an average gold value
in excess of $50 the ton. The quartz is
decomposed, highly oxidized and alb
s~olutely free milling. 1t is one of the
largest deposits of high grade stamp ore
unearthed in the camp despite the fact
hat it's full dimensions have as yet to
be determined.
The tunnel has been driven into the
hill a distance of 200 feet and at the IFS
foot point a ledge was tapped which pre-
sented ore making possibilities of high
merit. A Wine was sunk in the floor
of the bore to a depth of so feet and
from it's bottom a drift has been extend
ed for a distance of 40 feet in the ore
body. The quartz pan freely and at
times yields small nuggets. Picked
samples assay as high as 500 the ton
but the average break of the ledge for
a length of 40 feet is between $50 and
$50 the ton.

The Florida Sun attempts to cast
slurs at Col. r. w. Davis because his
name has been mentioned in connec-
ton with the goveronrship race. The
low dirty filings of peanut politician
who sets himself up as an editor of
state paper are too little to be no
ticed. Colonel Davis is a man of
brains, common sense and honesty
and is friend of the people. The Sun
has not selected any candidate for
this Office yet, but it will in due
course of time. Colonel Davis in our
opinion, has no idea of entering the
race. He told the writer several
months ago that he was not financial
ly able to enter into political contest.
The last dollar he possessed was
spent in the last campaign and his
friends in many cases went back on
him.-Lakeland Sun.

a FRIEND TO CIVILIZATION.


In one respect Mr.. Alfred Belt,
whose philanthropy was noted in
these columns some days ago, in the
terms of his will surpassed in orig
inality his brilliant associate, Cecil
Rhodes
Mr.. Belt left six millions with which
to endow the Cape to Cairo" railway
and telegraph lines, because he be-
lieyed that ''by the promotion, con-
struction and furtherance generally
of railways and telegraphs, including
wireless telegraphy. or other methods
of transmission of persons, goods and
messages, civilization will best be adj
vanced and expedited in Africa for
the benefit of the inhabitants Of the
country, whether natives or immi-
grants" Il know from experience
continued Mr.. Beit," how difficult it
is at times to find funds for the con-
struction of such methods Of trans
mission in new, sparsely settled and
undeveloped countries"
This feature of Mr.. Belts will has
received the highest commentator of
the enlightened press of the world,
in Great Britain, America and else
where. 1t is stated that he did no
bic thing in making princely dona-
ton to the country where he made
his great fortune, and for the pur-
poses above named.
Mr.. Henry M. Flagler, while he is
yet alive, has done precisely for Flor
ida what Mr.. Belt proposes in his will
to do for South Africa. There is this
difference between the two men, Mr..
Belt made his fortune in Africa,
while Mr.. Flagler is spending in
Florida the fortune he made else
where. Where Mr.. Belt proposes to
spend six million dollars for the pro-
motion, construction and furtherance
generally of means of transmission,
Mr.. Flagler has already spent many
millions and proposes to spend many
millions more. When he shall have
finished the work he now has under
construction he will have spent, per-
haps, sum approaching fifty million
dollars in state like South Africa,
whose population is sparse and re-
sources undeveloped.
Certainly Mr.. Flagler has been and
is Florida's great benefactor.
