1t was at the east end OF the Jump
ing Jack ground that the now famous
Golden-Sweeney lease was located.
This lease attracted the attention of
miners and mining investors every

grass roots, but the owners did not
find anything really worth while until
they had sunk to a depth Of ninety
feet. This they did with a within,
finding better values with every foot,

THE GROUP OF MINES.

Thus briefly has been told the story
Manhattan district by the L. NJ. Sulli-
van Trust company and developed con-
scientiously with money derived from
the sale Of treasury stock. 1t really
has not been possible to tell all the
story, to tell how, in the face of dis
lily forward. Neither has it been posi-
be to elaborate, as the writer would
like to elaborate, on the Sullivan sys-
tenn of development.
Here is a company that some people
regard as q promotion company, a cor
poration formed for the. purpose Of
basing corporations on prospects, SELL
ing the stock and then organizing an
other company. The belief is very far
from the truth While the Sullivan
Trust company has promoted mining
corporations-and made good in every
instance-that was not the primary
purpose of its organization. nor is it
the aim and object of its existence.
The Sullivan Trust company is in
business for the purpose of developing
mines. Every dollar received from the
sale OF treasury stock goes. after the
necessary expenses have been paid, into
the ground. Nobody pretends that the
company never makes d mistake. 1t
was organized by men, and it is being
run by men. One mistake it made in
the Bullfrog Rush mine, but nobody
who purchased stock in that corpora
ton through the Sullivan Trust COM
pany had occasion TO lose a dollar. The
company, when 1T learned that the de-
veIopments did not warrant it in recon-
mending the retention of the stock.
promptly notified purchasers that their
money would be refunded or that they
could exchange their holdings for stock
in one of the other Sullivan companies.
That the money is going into the
ground is shown in Manhattan, abund-
antly shown. On every hand there it is
admitted that the Sullivan Trust COM
pany has done many times more work
than any other company; that through
the efforts of the Sullivan people the
permanency of Manhattan as a mining
camp and district has been absolutely
established. And the company and
those who have had faith in 1t are re-
ceiving their reward.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

that the Sullivan Trust company feels
a pride in it's undertakings, or that
Manhattan is proud of the l. NJ. Sulli-
van Trust company?
Nor is there any cause for astonish-
ment in the fact that a big compressor
has been ordered so that air drills
which VIII easily do the work Of four
miners each may be Installed. The
compressor has capacity of 500 Gu
bic feet of air per minute. 1t will be
stationed on Indian Camp Manhattan
ground-because this is the most CEN
trally located ground in the group of
mines-and will furnish power for drills
In all Of the properties. 1t will also be
used for pumping water out of the In
dian Camp Manhattan.
And so the work is going on, the
work that will not cease in Manhattan
until the stockholders in the Sullivan
mines have received many times the
value of their stocks In dividends.
For, the stockholders may feel from
this time forward, that they are not In
tereSted in stock propositions; they
have not become involved in something
that looks Ike scalp Instead,
they are part owners of real mines,
mines that will yield generous returns
on the outlay, mines that are as sure
to produce returns as any that were
ever opened

property Of magnitude and value. The
group was acquired some months ago
and development work was inaugurated
without delay. At the surface the In

than in some other parts Of the district
The assays showed values Of from 40
cents to 81 per ton. But the As-You-

BIG BOOM
IS SURE
Manhattan to be Scene of
Great Renewal of Activity
in the Early Spring.

There is no getting away from the
fact that every indication points to
Manhattan boom. There was q
slump recently in many Of the other
Nevada stocks, a slump that broke
prices sharply. The Manhattans
stood steady during the furry. Indian
Camp, Stray Dog, Jumping Jack and
As You Like It easily held their own.
The reason is that there is merit be-
hind the properties. They have the
Gre, and in paying quantities.
Other properties in Manhattan are
solid and steady. The eyes of thou
sands of investors are turned upon
the camp and, with the passing Of
the snow in the springtime there is
going to be an outburst Of activity
such as the camp has not witnessed
since the first few months of its ex-
strong. Old properties are to be
worked on bigger basis, new ones
are to be opened up.
One of the beauties of Manhattan
is that it is still poor mans
camp" There are splendid oppOrtunf-
ties there for individuals of moderate
means, either in the purchase Of
stocks or in the development of pros
poets. All signs will fail unless num-
erous rich strikes are made before
the camp is many months older. It
would not be surprising if STAN
pede to Manhattan took place be-
tween now and the first of April
1907.

progress the assays have shown higher

camera. The results are before the
readers of this, the L. NJ. Sullivan sec
ton of The New Years Herald. Mr..
Hoysted went out the first day and
took snap shots of rhe Sullivan proper
ties outside workings, as well as views
of the surrounding country. That aft
ernoon he developed and printed them.
The next day Mr.. Doane was the man
behind the camera. Among other
things, he got in a bucket and went
Down into the Stray Dog mine to snap
shot, by the aid OF a fashiight, the
treasure vault on the 100 level. The
writer is under obligations which he
cordially acknowledges to both Mr..
Doane and Mr.. Hoy3ted.

HOW PICTURES WERE MADE
Difficulties Around Photography in
the Camp of Manhattan.

The Manhattan pictures accompany
ing this story were not so very easy to
get. Indeed, had j. not been for the
kindness of Messrs. Dcane and Hoysted
it is quite possible that there would
have been no pictures. These gentle
men are amateur photographers. Their
business is the selling of drugs and
other articles usually found in a drug
store
The professional photographer, the
onIv one who has ever lived in Man
haitian, experienced a chilly sensation
around the pedal extrernities about the
time the first boom f1atteQe1 out as a
result of the San Francisco disaster.
The writer had counted OH him for
views, and when 1t was learned that he
had left the camp the prospect for pic
lures seemed very dark Finally some
body suggested that a visit be paid to
Doane and Hoysted.
They said that they did not make a
business of photography, but that they

the jumping Jack Manhattan, claim
that since under the Sullivan manage

The claim was worked with success
enough to show that underneath was

ground spread abroad, even across the
desert to Goldf1eld, where the L. NJ. Sui
livan Trust company, then newly or
ganiZed. was looking about for pros
poets to turn into mines Mr.. Sullivan
made a quiet investigation. He was
pleased with the result and determined
TO buy the claim and make ii the basis
Of a mining company.
But others had heard of the Jumping
Jack. They, too. were interested. Al
least one, q Goldfield broker, concluded
that he wanted to buy the ground. Mr.
Sullivan knew the broker was COINS

$3.50 in it for you if you can 10 it, The
chauffeur was doubtful. He Lad too big
load. Mr.. Sullivan suggested tnal The
other passengers be left behind, b"t
the chauffeur held up his hands in hor-
ror at the thought. With the persever-
ance in the face of difficulties that has
carried him triumphantly over many z
bump Mr.. Sullivan persisted.
He agreed to give the chauffeur $3.50
If the latter would have his machine ap-
parently break down at a given point.
Sullivan would be there waiting, and so
would a covered stage, the driver of
which had knowledge of what was COM
ing Off The passengers we're to be
transferred to the stage and taken back
to the hotel to await the coming of the
repaired automobile which, in the
meanwhile, would be speeding with Sui
Ivan across the desert toward Man
haitian.
The plan was worked out exactly &C
cording to schedule. At the agreed
point the automobile came to q sudden
halt I've got q break here that'll
make 1t necessary for me to go to the
shop for an hour" the chauffeur said.
You all get in the stage and go back
to the hotel and I'll come around for
you later" AS soon as the stage had
disappeared Sullivan sprang into the
automobile and the race for the Jump
ing Jack was begun.
IT is not necessary here to tell about
that race or about the anxiety endured
by Mr.. Sullivan as he spend along the
roadway. 1t is enough to say that at
point few miles out Of Manhattan
the rival. seated oompIacently in his
automobile, was passed. By the time
he reached Manhattan the control Of
the Jumping Jack had passed into the
hands of L. NJ Sullivan of the L. M.
Sullivan Trust company. Mr.. Sullivan
said the other night that he had never
regretted the purchase.
Although he is satisfied that In the
Indian Camp and the Stray Dog Man
haitian he has two splendid properties.
he is equally satisfied that he has, in
the Jumping Jack, property as good
as either of the other two. His opin-
ION is backed by the opinions of the ex-
perts that have gone over the ground.
as well as by the actual disclosures
made during and through the work of
development.

SOME RECENT MANHATTAN ASSAYS.

Read this list of recent assays, each
accompanied by certificate of its
correctness and judge for yourself. Re
member, IL you please, that the figures
represent ounces of gold of the value of
$40 per ounce, for they deal in ounces,
rather than dollars, on the Sullivan
properties:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-12-30

The asterislzs mean that the 204 and
the 110-ounce ore came from the IA
inch streak In the Stray Dog already
referred to. In order to ascertain the
value of the ore in dollars it is only
necessary to multiply each of the fig
ures given above by $40, the value of an
ounce of pure gold. Is it any wonder
