shipping grade ore in place. The main
working shaft is down better than SO
feet and is well timbered throughout.
A crosscut is to be driven to the north
west for the purpose of intersecting a
four-foot ledge of porphyritic-quartz.
the ~outcrop of which returns fair grade
mill values. In shaft No. 2 a we'll min
eralized ledge is showing in the bot
tom of a thirty-fve foot shaft, similar
in appearance to that opened up on
April Fool ground. and from which
some of the most valuable gold speci-
ments found in the camp were mined.
This shaft is to be lowered to the 100
foot point before any attempt is to be
made to prove up the vein.
BRONX rs ACTIVE.
The new amp of Bronx, the scene
of the recent strike. has been very act
i've the past week. Several companies
have been incorporated to work the
properties in that vicinity. and sew
eral men are now engaged in sinking on
the various lodges thus far uncovered.
Very high values have been obtained
in the porphyry. which is the character
of the pay ore.
THE EUREKA.
At a depth of fifty feet in the main
working shaft on the Eureka Manhat-
tan Mining c%ompany's estate drifts are
being sent out along the strike of the
and as work proceeds gold values
are increasing. This cad has been
down from surface and at no
point en- route has there been a lack of
values. The lead has a breadth of from

throughout. Surface values are of high
mill grade and at a depth of SO feet
verge close to the shipping mark.
Surface prospecting of the Million
aire group, one of the holdings of the
Eureka company. has been followed by
the starting of a working shaft. At each
SO feet of depth gained stations are to
be cut and the ground be proved up
by means of a series of crosscuts n
Assays and paintings at surface
favor the finding of pay grade in place
once the ledge is tapped at depth.
MANHATTAN zANzIBAR.
No. 1 shaft on the Manhattan Buffalo
has been lowered in the porphyry a
depth of 81 feet. For the last Is feet
the naturalization has been particularly
and the rock is now showing
iron oxides and the porphyry is
into a quartz. At the 100-foot
point is to be a crosscut to exhaustively
the ground.
Nc. 2 shaft has been in ore from a
depth of 20 feet down to 1t present
depth of As feet. Paralleling the ledge
is about 3 feet of tale all of which
holds a general gold content of about
$25 to the ton. A hosting plant and
assay office are to be installed and 1T IS
also the intention to erect a 10-stamp
mill for the treatment of the large de-
posits of $25 ore known to exist in
the property.
BIG CHIEF OPERATIONS.
Development of Big Chief acreage is
to be furthered through the medium of
a hoisting plant having a lifting capa-
city to a depth of 500 feet. An order
has already been placed for the ma
chinery and it is expected that 1t will
be here and in operation within thirty
days. A number of very promising
lodges outcrop on the acreage, which.
judged by surface indications, will
make into good grade at depth. A large
force of miners is EMPLOYED. a portion
of whom are engaged in surface pros
pecting, while the others have been
directed to sinking.
CONSOLIDATED MANHATTAN.
A six-foot vein has just been cut in
the tunnel of the Consolidated Manhat-
tan at East Manhattan, this being the
sixth distinct vein encountered in this
wonderful tunnel. This last vein con-
tains large quantities of white iron, and
carries values of SIS per ton. A por-
phyry streak which cuts this vein, car
ries high values across eight inches
Every foot of work lone on this prop
erty shows great improvement, and a
producing mine is practically assured.
Two shifts were put On Friday to has
ten the development work.
MANHATTAN EXPRESS.
A vast improvement has been made
in this property during the past week.
The shaft is down 20 feet, and a blind
ledge has been encountered which
yields good gold values. This ledge
is widening in it's descent into the
ground. The shaft will be continued
and a crosscut driven at depth to en-
counter it. The company now has two
well defined lodges which can easily be
tapped from this working shaft.
MANHATTAN RED TOP.
Three distinct lodges nave been OPEN
ed on this property. which adjoins the
Manhattan Mizpah. These lodges are
six feet. four feet and two feet in width
respectively. All carry gold values.
Assays as high as $3.50 per ton have
been obtained. 1t is rumored that this
company will join with the Console
dated Extension in the erection of a
mill.
AUxIER AND SMITH.
A few lays ago ore of really phenom-
email gold value was mined on the prop
erty of Auxier, Smith & Co., near. CEN
trail The strike was made in a three
foot ledge at a depth of twelve feet.
Seven sacks of the mineral held a value
of SIS the sack. The high grade streak
is narrow, but is said to be widening
as the shaft is lowered.
MANHATTAN BUFFALO.
The shaft on this property has
reached a depth of nearly 100 feet, and
