MANHATTAN MINING DISTRICT NEWS

Round Mountain country and Is thought
to carry q continuation OF the Fairview
ledge which is being worked on Fair
view ground with sue great success.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
That the operators of the Thanksgiv-
ing property have reason for thanksgiv-
ing is being demonstrated by the high
grade gold values being secured This
shaft is down 50 feet on the ledge.
where a station has been cut and drifts
started along the strike of the ore in
search Of a shoot. The vein matter is
two feet In breadth and returns assay
values as high as s1s4 in gold to the
ton. Thus far the grade Is holding well
in the breast of the drift Fou men are
employed and the working force is to
be increased within a short time.
xraK GRADE MILLING VALUES
Eureka! The name is synonymous
with success and there seems little
question but what good fortune Is TO
associate itself with the operations OF
the Manhattan Eureka Mining company.
On the company's Litigation Hill Frac-
ton claim a large body Of mill ore Is
being worked in the crosscut run out
| from the 55-foot level of the main work
ing shaft and from present Indications
1t will shortly open out into shipping
grade. The vein intrusion Is porphy-
rite quartz and Is showing strong and
true. Across a 12-foot face random
samples assay at the rate of 1910 the
ton and picked specimens frequently re-
turn gold values of several hundred
dollars per ton.
The Is not combining Its
efforts to proving VI the ground at the
55-foot level but is sinking the shaft Tor
the purpose of getting below the now
somewhat broken formation, when 1t is
expected that permanent values VIII
prevail in place.
THE LITTLE JOE
Little Joe development is putting that
favorably located Gold hill property In
line for admission to the shipping class
and the chances are strongly in favor
of it's travelling in company with the big
fellows before the end of the present
season. Little Joe is being made as mt
as a fiddle by It's corps of miners and
there is little doubt but what 1t will
take a position well to the fore once 1t
enters that most fascinating Of all COM
petitions, the gold sweepstakes.
At this time the best showing is at the
Garrett workings where a strong and
well mineralized ledge is being tested by
means of a shaft which Is following Its
dip. 1t has a depth OF As feet and in its
bottom average gold values of $45 the
ton are secured A 14-inch streak OF
tale is showing in the ledge which often
carries high grade gold contents and
with development this seam is widening.
Surface exploration has resulted in
the discovery of q number Of well min
eralized lodges all of which present In
dications of making into shipping ore
with depth. Free gold shows in the
quartz at times and when that condi-
ion occurs there is always a large ap-
probation in values. Like the greater
proportion of manhattan mines and
prospects Little Joe ground carries
large bodies of free milling ore of COM
mercial grade, and this feature alone is
sufficiently marked to assure the future
prosperity of the property.
wIsNER IN MANHATTAN
With the purchase of the Woods lease
on the Reilly Fraction by Weisner of
Goldfeld, for $4,000. development is to
be carried out along more exhaustive
lines than had hitherto prevailed. Some
delay has been experienced, due to the
illness of the new owner. but now that
he has recovered his health plans for
the thorough exploration of the acreage
nave been practically formulated.
Wisner starts in with shipping values
ready at hand and there is no question
but what even greater success awaits
him than fell to the lot of Woods. Aside
from the $3.50 class of ore there are
large bodies of free milling rock in sight
all of which have a general gold aver
age of $40 the ton.
