Manhattan, New, July 12.-The shaft
on the property Of the Cow
boy Mining company has reached a
depth of 90 feet, and the vein of heavy
suIphide ore is showing vast improve
ment In value. Assays as high as SIS
per ton have been taken from the bot
tom of III shaft. This will be con-
tinued to a depth of $50 feet, and drifts
run in each direction on the vein to
thoroughly develop the property. A
| crosscut has been started from the Is
foot level. and Is now in SO feet.
THE STRAY DOG
Eight feet of ore having an average
gold grade of $3.50 the ton is being
mined at lease No. / on Stray Dog Man
haitian c~ompany's ground and associated
with It Is a streak of quartz which re-
turns values of 81. 900 per tor. About
three weeks ago the ledge was encoun-
tered in the drift run out from the 1885,
foot level. assays averaging at that
time about s44 the ton. A Wine sunk
on the deposit has marked an increase in
gold grade to the figure before mem
toned. The $1,000 crack is about 8
inches in width and carries gold in the
free in generous quantity.
From this lease ore of good shipping
grade is also being mined at the 50-foot
level, but the higher values obtain In
the deeper workings. In the north drift
from the 135-foot station a recent break
of the mine returned values of 1856 the
ton across 2 feet Of vein matter, and in
the south drift samples taken across a
like breadth of vein returned values of
ecal -o~ 49, THE rapnofndar of fha
ledge in both drifts is of excellent mill
ing grade. On the dump are 100 tons of
sacked ore having an average gold grade
of 5000 to the ton.
Lease No. 2 presents mineral indica.
ions of more than ordinary promise as
an ore shoot has just been encountered
at a depth of 70 feet which carries good
milling values across s feet of vein
matter. By careful sorting a portion of
this product could be increased to ship
ping grade. This shoot evidently trends
into the main vein system, which will
be entered at a depth Of about 100 feet
The company has started a shaft at a
point 112 feet from the sideline of lease
No. 1 with the object of tapping the
rich ore shoot on tina. lease at a depth
of $50 feet on it's dip. The management
believes that at that point the iaposit
will leave the rented block and therefore
be open to prospecting en- company ac-
count. Sinking is being furthered with
expedition and within a few weeks the
objective point will be reached.
CONSOLIDATED MANHATTAN
The tunnel on the Consolidated Man
haitian property at East Manhattan is in
the hill 143 feet, and still sustains the
enviable reputation of having gone its
entire distance in ore, not one pound
of country rock having been aiken out.
Assays nave been taken from every foot
of wo k done, and not one certificate
has returned less than 81, while others
have returned as high as $50 per ton in
gold. A contract is just about to be let
for 200 feet more of tunneling, which
will carry the tunnel in 343 feet Under
the apex of tie hill.
JUMPING JACK
The aphorism that it is better to be
born lucky than rich was never better
exemplifed than in the person of Lessee
Golden operating IN a block of Manhat-
tan Jumping Jack ground. Within the !
past ten days Golden has shipped 80
tons of ore-1,450 sacks-having an
average gold grade of $3.50 the ton. Not
alone this, but he has transferred his
holding to the Jumping Jack company |
for a very substantial consideration.
Golden's total clean up is estimated to
run we'll into the six figures and is on
par with other successful mining ven-
lures he has made in the Manhattan
mining district.
With the passing of the Golden lease
the entire Jumping Jack estate is under
the direct control of the owning COM
pany and all work being done is on COM
pany account. A vigorous campaign of
development has been inaugurated and
is being facilitated with a full compile
ment of miners and a plant of hosting
machinery capable of lifting the gold
laden ores from great depth.
j. d. Campbell, manager of the estate,
estimates that the mpan will realize
SO, 900 per month for an indefinite
period as a direct result of ores hoisted
from ground hitherto worked by the
~lessees, and anticipates a further income
to the company of s25,000 per month
from the high grade quartz he expects
to mine in the main workings on the OPP
posite end of the Jumping Jack claim.
It the latter point he is prosecuting
