The best tine l ever had in the White
House chortled a bright-eyed little
woman to her tall, good-looking escort,
was when Benjamin Harrison was Presi-

Of an official who occupied a confidential
position with the President, and 10 whom
Mrs. Harrison had accorded the privilege
of showing US youngsters over the man

GENEALOGICAL STUDIES.

EOltpF Ihe washington Herald.
1 have read with much pleasure the
opening article of your genealogical
series, which appeared in last Sundays
issue of your paper. and 1 earnestly hope
that the work SO admirably begun will be
continued Indefinitely. / have reason to
think, 100. that many others besides my
self-probably a majority Of The HeraId's s
patrons-will derive equal enjoyment
from the peTusal of these articles In
saying this I do not for moment sup
pose that your purpose is merely to en-
tertain your readers. or that in encourag-
ing the pursuit Of genealogical studies
you mean to build your structure upon
that kind of foundation only. Every one
Of your readers who can look back upon
an honorable ancestry Will, OF course.

as well as that of his own, and realizing
the benefit that has probably come to
him the inheTitOr of what may be
called the cumulative humanities of four
or five generations Of good people VIII
naturally appreciate and get pleasure
from nearly everything that is made
known generally on this subject. I think,
however, that the science and study Of
genealOgy have a nObler aim than mere
sentimental enjoyment and that you
share this feeling with me. In other
words, as family records and traditions
are the basis of all biography, and as his
tory is the essence Of innumerable biogra-
phies. I believe that you look upon gen
ealogy as the very beginning Of all his
tory-one of the noblest branches of lit
erature-and that YOU viii be inspired by
this feeling in the preparation Of your
articles I am sure this will be made
manifest as you 60 along, and that.
therefore, as much instruction as pleas

The SOUTH
MANHATTAN co.
The Largest Strike Of the Season
Reported near its Mines

Messrs. Minard & Stanley returned
this week from Manhattan where they
visited the property of the South Man
haitian Mining and Milling company,
and report that the shaft has been sunk
to depth of 50 feet, with the bottom
of the shaft in a nice body of low-grade
ore. Mr.. Stanley, who, by the way, is
also president of the Thanksgiving
Mining company, secured an option on
control of the stock of the South Man
haitian Mining company and expects, as
soon as his eastern friends can make
an investigation of the South Manhat-
tan, that they will take personal charge
of the operations Of the company, rum
ming a tunnel so as to tap the ore at
considerable depth, and it is also con-
templated by the eastern parties to
construct mill on the property. Those
interested are well pleased with the
showing made and feel confident that
when development work is commenced
on large scale that the South Manhat-
tan will rank with the best companies
of the district.
1t was reported over the telephone
from Manhattan, Friday, that the larg-
est strike of the season had been made
in the immediate vicinity of these prop
critics, but up to the time of going to
press, we have been unable to confirm
the report.

MORE HIGH-GRADE
ORE DISCOVERED
Rock that Will Run as High as
5000 to the Ton.

At the property of the Pittsburg-
Manhattan Mining Company, a shaft
has been sunk to a depth of so feet
all the way in ore, the vein averaging a
width of about 5 feet At this point
sinking was suspended and tunnel will
be run which will tap the ledge at a
depth of 300 feet. This tunnel work
has been let to contractors. The ore
shows a yield running all the way from
$5. 45 to over 5000 ton, but from con-
servative estimate $50 ton is a fair
average.
The management is more than pleased
with the outlook.
At the Manhattan Thanksgiving the
development work at the present time
consists of a shaft so feet deep which
passes through the lime and has reached
the quartz contact from which high
values have been obtained from pan
ming. No assay tests have as yet been
made. Operations continue with ia
vorable results as development ad-
vances.
