Manhattan, New. Nov. 9O.--With
the location of high grade shipping
ere In place the estate OF the Man
haitian Combination company passes
from the preferred prospect class to
the ranks of regular producers, anu
becomes in fact, what has for some
months been predicted, a mine OF the
first magnitude. To be sure the pro-
perty has yet to establish the ore
showing which obtains In the Consoi-
idated, STRAY Dog, Union No. ., Jump
ing Jack, Little Grey, Indian camp
and a number Of other Manhattan
mines, but time and development can
be depended upon to do the rest now
that the pay crack has been encouht-
cred in the permanent ore zone,
STAGE OF DEVELOPMENTS.
AT relatively the same stage Of de-
yelopment the combination shows up
equally as well as the properties men,
toned. with the possible exception
of the Stray Dog, and certain 1t IL that
the huge Black Mammoth ledge, in
which the hlgn gold values on Com
bination ground are found, is strong
rival In point of naturalization with
either the famous Consolidated MS
sure or the no less celebrated Stray
Dog-Union No. ledge. The surface
showing on the Combination IS one
OF the very best In the entire camp
and compares more than favorabiy
with the gold values secured on Stray
Dog ground at grass roots.
HIGH GRADE ORE.
Several months ago Sol. Camp To-
4 l. o. Ia plN or ii az
in that portion OF the Black Mammoth
ledge which crosses the Combination
estate. The find was followed at sur
face Tor a distance of 300 feet, and the
ledge stripped of quartz having
an average value OF $500 the ton.
The vein dipping into the hill an In
cline was then sent down along II and
always in ore Of shipping grade.
From the bottom of this incline a
drift was run out along the strike of
the ledge and has resulted In the To-
cation Of the same high class gold
values In place.
FREE GOLD IN QUARTZ.
The face Of the drift Is filled with
quartz showing gold in the free and
assays are secured as high as $500
the ton. Samples taken at random
and the "break of the ledge is con-
slderably in excess of 500 the ton
More than 400 sacks of high grade
shipping rock are piled on dump, and
as an illustration of the rapldlty with
which the tonnage Is accommodating II
can be stated that ore sufficient &c
I'll 100 sacks was mined Friday.
LOTS OF COPPER.
The management Of the ToquimO
Copper company Is sack!ng ore at :
depth OF 1870 feet and the Incline shaf
which Is following the dip OF the biz
copper yielding fissure Is in ore from
surface to bottom. For a depth %
about 90 feet from the 40 foot leve
values deprecated, indicating that th'
shaft was In the leached zone which IL
copper carrying lodges Invariably pre-
| cedes water level. The present coppe
| grade Is q trifie better than 10 pc
| cent to the ton, an increase from
| per cent a few feet below surface
| Sinking IL to continue until water leve
| IS reached whore Il Is expected tina
! the ledge will carry an even hlghe
| per cent of the red metal
CROSSCUTS RUN,
At various points in the shaft cross
cuts have been run through the or
for distance of IL feet without dis
! closing either wall, and from pres
ent indications the entire mountaiI
is solid mass of copper carryin
matrix. Wherever crosscut below tn
leached zone the deposit returns a
average copper grade OF IL per cen
and likewise carries gold and silve
values OF $40 the ton. ore is bein
sacked and a small trial shipmen
Is to 60 out sh ortly.
WATER LEVEL SOON REACHED
When water level Is reached II
