MANHATTAN DISTRICT NEWS

MAMMAL IAN L
A strike of phenomenal richness has
just been made on the Sentinel claim,
adjoining the Mammoth claims OF the
Manhattan Combination Mining com
pany, and between that property and
the Original Manhattan Mines company.
Some of the prettiest free gold speci-
mems were brought to town from this
property Monday evening that have
been seen in camp for many a day.
This claim together with one other
adjoining were originally located n
are now held by E. c. Haas and J. l..
Butler, the latter an uncle of the Hum
phrey boys. but at the time they ac-
quired 1t they knew nothing about the
riches contained under me surface.
w. H. Robinson. an old miner of %
years experience, and who has been In
the employ of the Manhattan Combina-
ton since the early part OF February,
and one OF the stockholders. has been
prospecting around in the neighborhood
of the compan ground and ran across
this ledge cropping from the surface A
little development work uncovered this
rich ore and he quietly took steps to tie
the property up for his company, and
succeeded in doing so. These two claims
will be added to the already rich hold
ings of the Combination Mining COM
pany.
Some of the largest paintings ever
seen in the district were tax IN from this
property, and specimen rock will ASSAY
considerably over 10000 to thu ton.
The extent of the rich ore body is nor
kno wn so little development. work has
been done, but enough of the ledge has
been uncovered to warrant the state
ment tina they nave one of the biggest
mining propositions in the district.
THE COWBOY
The shaft on the property of the Man.
haitian Cowboy Mining company has
now reached a depth of 80 feet, and the
rich sulphide ore encountered in the
shaft at a higher level, is even getting
stronger as depth is attained. A good
sample was taken from the sulphide
vein n PANIED down until nothing but
the concentrates remained, and these
concentrate were assayed and returned
SAT per ton. This is a fine indication
tina the sulphide ore carries good
values and hat a rich pay shoot may
be encountered at any moment.
The leasers operating the dry placer
machines are meeting with gratifying
success and are laying away large guam
titles of the precious metal. They stated
to the company a day or so ago that
they were preparing to install several
more machines in the near future.
CONSOLIDATED MANHATTAN
The tunnel on the property of the
Consolidated Manhattan at East Man.
haitian is now in 1876 feet. and the en-
tire face of the tunnel Is in a black
limestone heavily i~mpregnated with
quartz carrying good values. Assays
better than $50 are made from this last
vein encountered, and every foot Of de-
velopment work shows vast improve
ment. Over three hundred assays have
been taken since the tunnel was started,
from every section of the tunnel, and
every one has shown values. Great
things are predicted as development
work shows vast improvement. Over
three hundred assays have been taken
since the tunnel was started. and every
one has shown values. Great things are
predicted as development work proceeds
on the Consolidated Manhattan.
GEoRGEY GROUP
Good values are already being en-
countered in the tunnel on the property
of the Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines
at Central, which is now in the hill
thirty feet. The face of the tunnel pans
coarse gold, and a good, strong ledge is
now in evidence, and prosecuting the
formation the same as the tunnel. Two
shifts are working on this property to
quicken the work, and from development
work carried on at different parts of the
property, there is no doubt but a huge
milling proposition will soon be uncov-
cred.
MOTHER LODE
The tunnel on the property Of the
Manhattan Mother Lode is in the hill
166 feet and in good ore. The entire
face of the tunnel pans free gold. and
they have just encountered a new ledge
which appears to be quite rich and of
considerable size. If it develops as
good as it looks now, drifting will at
once be started on this vein and two
shifts of men will be put to work to
hasten the development of this promis-
ing property.
PINE NUT Is BUSY PLACE
The tunnel on the north side of the
Pine Nut estate is now into the hill a
distance of 200 feet. For the last &c
