Assuming Big Size Among
Prominent Mines.

Special to The Tribune,
MANHATTAN. Nav. Dec 2.-The
Stray Dog mine has made good its
early promise of becoming a bonanza.
The big assure which crosses the estate
is yielding ore that sacks at the rate
of $1,000 in gold to the ton. Ed Hof-
man, the newly appointed general man
nger of the Stray Dog and other l.. M.
Sullivan Trust company properties mt
this point, is carrying in his vest pocket
paintings from the strike which have a
monetary value OF from 50 10 IS each.
Concurrent with the find there has
been a sharp advance in the price of
Stray Dog Manhattan Mining com
pany s shares. the stock meeting with
an even reader sale than at 62 cents,
the quotation price on November l.
One dollar per share is predicted for
the stock before December l5,
On November 10 the night force en-
ployed on the Stray Dog mine broke
into the ledge in the cast drift at the
l00-foot level, and the miners are now
working in four feet of ore with but
one wall in sight. One foot of the de-
posit carries, an average gold grade of
$1,000 the ton, the remaining three feet
breaking at the rate of $40 i'll gold to
the ton. As fast as broken down the
bonanza grade is sacked and stored in
the workings, where il will remain until
such time as il is sent TO the smelter.
The high grade mill quartz is being
piled on the dump pending plans for its
treatment beneath the stamps. At points

indicate q gold value of from $4,000 10
$1,000 the ton. The entire body is dot
ted with free gold and its bonanza por-
lions are permeated with narrow streaks
which are plastered full with the pre-
cious metal. AS the ore body is ex
plored the high grade streak is widen
