STRAY DOG ORES
RUN VERY HIGH
Senator Stuart Returns From
Visit Through Mine in
Manhattan Camp.
PERMANENCY OF MINES
NOW IS ASSURED
Developments Below the Water
Level Prove Resources Go
Down Deep.

GOLDF1ELD, Dec. H." Develop
ments Of the past fortnight on the Stray
Dog and Indian Camp mines have been
the most important in the history of the
district, proving. MS they have, beyond
all question the tremendous enrichment
Of the ore bodies OF the camp below
the water level, generally cousid cred
the questionable zone. and assuring be
yond all cavil the permanency Of the
mines of the camp Thus spoke Sen
ator z. +. Stuart, one of the leading
mining authorities of the West. who
has been engaged extensively in mining
and in the installation Of an immense
wafer project in Manhattan during the
past year. Senator Stuart is visiting
Goldfeld for few days.
Continuing, Senator Stuart said " A
visit through the Stray Dog will aston
ish the visitor who is not prepared to
view immense bodies Of tremendously
rich shipping ore and even greater bod
les of rich milling matter. In the winze
below the l00-foot level Of the property
there is revealed from Is to 20 inches
Of ore that for the distance in length
now opened has yielded not an ASSAY
below $500 per ton, with general aver
age of $1,000 to $4,000 per ton in gold
contents. Such a showing is seldom
presented, even by the bonauzas of the
State, and is doubtful if the Mohawk
or Combination of Goldfield can surpass
II for high grade. Under the aggressive
plan of development being prosecuted
on the great mining estate, and on the
Indian Camp and Jumping Jack. these
bonanzas Will soon class with the lead
ing properties Of the southern part of
Nevada. and the part they will play in
. the production OF gold viii add immeas.
urably to the prestige of the State. The
Sich contents of the Stray Dog are be-
Ing sacked as broken down. and n ship
meat that Will bring astonishment 10
the mining world viii 90 forward in
short time. Then the truth concern
ing the richness of Manhattan district
Will he more forcibly brought TO the at
tentIon Of the investing public. and,
with further development and the dis
tribution of dividends. the district will
forge ahead to the position it deserves
among. the greatest producing areas of
the West.

property with tremendous bodies of rich

has proved up a body of high grade
milling ore fully forty feet wide, and
with each foot Of exploration work the
showing improves. There is no longer
any doubt about The future of this
bonanza mine, and with adequate mill
ing facilities, which are to be construct
ed early in the spring, the property will
enter upon an era of production that
will direct the attention of the entire
country To Manhattan and provide
profits for stockholders for years to
come.
Manhattan is fast emerging from
the lethargy that overlook the camp
after the San Francisco disaster,' con
tinued Senator Stuart. Extensive
mine developments have been prose
cuted insistently in spite Of the depres-
sion Of the summer, and no section of
the State can boast of better or more
assuring showing. Splendid bodies of
ore are being opened up on all sides,
and the proved area now extends for at
least five miles in length and two miles
in width, or approximately twice the
extent Of Goldhcld. All over this vast
territory magnificent mines are being
developed, and another three months
viii mark the inception Of Manhattan s
real growth and prosperity. The eX
traordinarily important developments
on the Stray Dog and Indian Camp
viii be, in great measure, responsible
for this new order Of events.
