RUSH TO REESE RIVER

A considerable rush has set in to the
Upper Reese River district in the
Toiyabe Hills, at a point about go miles
northwest of Manhattan. The pioneers
of the district were the Smith brothers
of Manhattan, who have a group of
rich claims neal Ophir canon three miles
from Gooding's ranch. So promising do
they look that a Tonopah capitalist has
secured a $4,000 option upon them.
DIR. I. Monahan of Salt Lake City, M.
B. Dudley, president of the Manhattan
Desert Queen Gold Mining company, and
E. Barchell of Tonopah, have a group
of five claims in Mohawk canon, which
runs at right angles to the Reese river,
six miles from Gooding's ranch. There
is a ledge on each of the five claims.
They run from 6 to IL feet in breadth
value of So.
Humboldt Gates, the well known
Alaska millionaire, with characteristic
promptitude lost no time in jumping
into the new district. He showed his
faith in the country by Immediately
purchasing a claim for $4,000 cash
down.. AS the property is close to
water, Mr.. Gates is of the opinion that
the ore can be treated at the trihing cost
of 50 a ton, once a mill is erected. The
ledge on Mr.. Gates property is s feet
wide and assays range between SIT and
SOL. A tunnel has been driven in for a
distance of So feet, and will, it is ex-
pected, tap the ledge in 10 feet more.
There is placer ground as we'll as
quartz i the vicinity of the river, the
gravel for a distance of a mile and a
half VI and down the creek being rich
in gold. A. McCauley and T. tombstone
of Manhattan. v located 16 placer
claims and state that the dirt goes $35
to the cubic yard. The location work
has been done on all the claims and
conditions seem to be very promising

MANHATTAN THANKSGIVING

A new main working shaft is being
sunk on the property of the Manhattan
Thanksgiving company, the objective
point being a depth of 100 feet. Three
lodges dipping to the south are known
to cross the acreage and it is also
known that one of them changes its
course when it runs into the big lime
dyke which traverses the estate, it be-
ing perpendicular at that point. The
shaft is being sunk so hat it will just
clear the dyke so that little prosecuting
will be necessary to reach the veins.
All the lodges carry encouraging gold
values and should they merge into one
ore body at depth the chances favor the
gold enrichment being sufficiently high
to warrant shipments.

GOLDEN ARROW DISTRICT
REPORTS RICH STRIKE

A report was received early this
morning by DR.. Elftman of a rich strike
at Golden Arrow yesterday. While
doing the assessment work on the Gold
en- Rock claim the western extension of
the Blackbird ledge was uncovered. The
vein is twenty-five feet wide and shows
rich paintings in free gold clear across
the ledge. Yesterday on starting to
sink on what appeared to be a some
what better streak in the vein, ore was
found which pans $1,000 or better per
ton in gold or as the report states, a
~teaspoonful of coarse gold is washed
from every pan of ore.

Water has been encountered in the
crosscut being run out from the 100-foot
level of the main working shaft on the
Manhattan Verde. From surface down
the shaft is as dry as a w. c. T. U.
meeting, but when the cut had been ex-
tended a distance of 40 feet a ledge was
cut which proves to be not alone a car
rier of gold values but of water as well.
Despite the seeming anomaly two men
working a dry washer on Verde ground
made a clean up of liz ounces of gold
in two days.

WORK AT
ROUND MOUNTAIN
Especial correspondence.)

Especial correspondence.
Round Mountain, New, Aug. 25.-Four
months ago Round Mountain was what
might be termed a one mine camp as
the first strike in the district was made
at that time on the ~Sunnyside claim.
Since Their strikes of high grade gold
bearing ore have been made on the An
telope, of the Round Mountain Antelope
company, the Edith claim of the Round
Mountain Red Top mpan the Roun
Mountain Combination, the o group,
the Sphinx, of the Round Mountain
Sphinx company, the Daisy Fraction and
the Fairview, the latter ranking well up
with the others. From surface down
the incline shaft has followed a mar
row seam of ore and as depth was
gained the seam widened until at the
60-foot level 1t is showing 5h feet
wide. 1t is all high grade mill product
and contain a 3-inch streak of honey
combed quartz which is literally glutted
with free gold. One thousand dollars
worth of nuggets and specimens have
been taken from the find. The ledge
matter is a porphyritic quartz sur
charged with oxide of iron.
ANTELOPE sTRIKE
ATOl0eT SlTlht 10 dIiiOuiASCo as To-
ing been made in the Antelope mine, al
ready the scene of some of the richest
finds in the Round Mountain country.
The strike was made in the south cross
cut at the 50-foot level, 20 feet in from
the station. In the breast of the drift
a 12-inch streak of quartz is showing
which is completely riddled with gold.
No assays have been made, nor are any
necessary in order to convince the An
telope company of the excessive value
of the discovery. AS a check on the
mill and sampler people assays are to
be made, however, and that they will
run into the thousands of dollars per
ton is evidenced by the string of gold
resultant from each panning.
STRIKE ON SHOT
On the Shot claim a strike has been
made on the Perkins-McLean lease
where a ledge was uncovered at a depth
of 80 feet that carries high values in
gold. The full width of the lead re-
mains to be determined, but the entire
bottom of the shaft is in high grade
vein matter.
APEX STRIKE
From the Jefferson canon section
comes the news of a rich find of free
gold on the Apex claim, the property OF
Messrs. Hayes, King and McAllister.
The find was made while the men were
engaged in doing their location work
and bids fair to again call attention to
a locality once famous as a bonanza
producer of silver. At a depth of 2 feet
a small quartz stringer is showing
which returns assays of from 5000 to
5000 in gold to the ton and at a depth
of 100 feet this stringer has widened to
10 inches and it's gold grade is increas-
ing. The property is located on the
contact with the old Jefferson and
Prussian mines where gold values are
now constantly being found and the
find was made in a ledge encased in
walls of granite and porphyry.

H GOLD WEDGE

The Manhattan Development COM
pany, composed of Goldfeld people, are
running an incline at their lease On
the Gold Wedge estate for the purpose
of cutting the big quartzite dyke which
crosses the acreage. They anticipate
striking pay ore at the contact. The
Gold Wedge company will sink a new
shaft to a depth of 100 feet with the ex-
pectation OF cutting the Little Grey
ledge.

posed Which has an average gold value
in excess of 500 the ton. Along the

free gold. Average assays across this
seam are better than $500 per ton and
picked specimens hold a gold value of

Real Life IN Chicago.

The fiat was In Chicago. They sreyoung,
the Norths are; have been married six
years and have no children, no oats, NO

DO music box.
Mrs. North Ia little, has blue eyes and q
great quantity Of yellow hair, which she
wears In style. Also she wears when she
goes out o black velvet long coat suit and
. large black toque with large red roses
on the back Of 1t and q blue tissue veil tied
automobile fashion on It. At home she
wears o black skirt with In innumerable
array Of small buttons at the plaoket which
are never buttoned. Her feet are very
small and her heels are very high, 80 that
they topple her forward at every step.
She has a shrewd rye, doesn't intend to

Mr.. North Ia rather small, a little stopped,

and habits Of q careful, orderly, steady,
decent fellow. He wears good clothes and
a stiff derby hat q little on one side. He
doesn't waste much time In the bathroom,
though he observes the Saturday night
American custom with due regularity.
He comes to the table In his shirt sleeves
and is entirely frank In his conversation
there about the state Of his stomach, his
Focketbook and his mind.
They both keep their medicine bottles
on the dining room table, and they both
discuss the effects Of the medicine on them
In every particular. There doesn't seem
to be any reason why they shouldn't as

MIR. North calls his wife Kid o short
