The Yellow Horse Mine Promises
to Make a BOnanza-=-$6O Ore
Clear Across the Vein

MANHATTAN, Aug. 11-Things are
looking very lively in Manhattan. Six
weeks ago it was thought that there
would be no boom till the fall, but the
camp is coming on apace and there has
been a wonderful return of activity
both in the stock market and in the
mines.
The stock brokers of Manhattan are
now admirably, not to say palatiallly,
housed. They are no longer in their
old temporary quarters in Ernest Ken
nedy's Office, having migrated to the
Richards block, where they occupy an
elegant and spacious apartment. fifty
feet long by twenty feet broad. The
call is held daily, except on Sundays, at
l:SO p. M, and business is brisk.
Probably the most notable feature in
the weeks trading was the recovery in
Yellow Horse. 1t was only natural
that such recovery should take place,
as the Yellow Horse promises to make
bonanza. There is a five foot vein
which averages about $50 clear across.
In it there is an 18-inch streak with
values that go as high as 81, 127. The
extraordinary thing is that, though the
the new shaft is only down about 80
feet, sulphides are beginning to appear.
The values in the SUPPLIES seem, if any
thing, to be higher, and, though of
course the cost of treating the ore will
be increased, the management halls the
appearance of sulphides with pleasure,
as being an indication of permanency.
Superintendent Pierce has now force
of 10 men under his orders and is
optimistic as to the future of the mine.
A gasoline hoist will soon be installed
and third shift will be put to work
just as soon as arrangements can 5e
made for dealing with the smoke diff
Guilty byimeans of draught furnace,
To facilitate operations, a company
house with room 40 men and superin-
tendent's bungalow win be erected on
the property in the near future.
Another property which is looking
promising is the Mother Lode. A tun-
mel is now in $40 feet and five lodges
have been cut, which run from eight
feet to twenty-five feet in width and
give values of from $40 to 800. With
the arrival of ]. F. Humphrey from New
York, operations will be pushed with
still greater vigor and shaft will be
sunk on at least one of the lodges.
Drifts will be run from the tunnel on
each ledge and the property will thus
be thoroughly explored below ground
as well as on the surface. Before many
days have passed it is hoped that ship
ments of selected ore will be made, and
once Manhattan has her mills going
for the treatment of low-grade ores the
Mother Lode will probably be paying
dividends. By next year there will be
shaft on each of the five ledges.
The Little Grey continues to forge
ahead and this property and the Dexter
bid fair to vie with the Consolidated
for the proud title of the banner mine
of the camp. Once the Litigation Hill
trouble is settled definitely one way or
the other, even if the decision goes
against A. D. Nash and his associates,
Dexter stock will make big jump, for
money that is now paying lawyers will
then be available for paying miners. AS
tits, the arrival and installation of a pump
on the Briggs lease and Evans lease on
Union No. 9 will inevitably have a
highly stimulating effect.
