w. O'BRIEN MAKES
MANHATTAN DEAL

Walter d. O'Brien has just consum-
mated n of the more important deals
of the week, having purchased the Crow
Fraction. which adjoins the Broncho. the
Sunset, situated in the richest section
of Litigation hill, and an eighty acre
tract a short distance north of the
Broncho. The purchase was made for
the Manhattan Mustang Extension Min
ing company, which will take over and
extensively develop the acreage. Mr..
O'Brien states work Will begin at once.
A tidy sum was paid for the acreage.
The several pieces of ground involved
in the deal nave very great prospective
value. 1t is firmly believed that the ex-
tension of the Mustang-Broncho vein
will be found to continue through the
Crow fraction, the trend of the lead
having a course directly towards the
property. Ore is being sacked for ship
ment within 800 feet of the fraction end
line.
The Sunset claim sidelines with the
Way Up, on which shipping ore has been
opened up Tie surface showing is con-
sidered of exceptional promise and it
seems more than reasonable that with
aggressive development the claim will
become an important producer, as it is
in the immediate vicinity of several of
the richest mines of the camp.
The eighty acres farther north is OF
prospective worth. IT is in direct line
with the general trend of the ore system
traversing that section of the district
and there are many reasons to believe
that systematic prospecting will UNI
cover pay ore.
The camp is in fever heat on account
of the activity both in mining and the
sales of mining property. The heaviest
mail ever received came in tonight and
today's arrivals outnumber those of any
previous day since the
of the boom.

MINING NEWS OF SOUTHERN NEVADA CAMPS
NEVADA TULE IN
GOOD GRADE r

From surface down to a depth of 6s
feet the shaft being sunk by the Nevada
Tule Mining company on the Hawk
claim located in upper Tule canon has
followed the ledge, the quartz being
heavily iron stained and showing some
free gold. Recently nine samples were
taken from the workings and the dump
which returned gold values as follows.
$40. $1.6o, s24, $2s, s45.75. S61.O5,
$166.50, s6O9.60: an average of s107.S9
per ton. The quartz streak from which
the rock was taken is from IS to 81
inches wide and aside from this there
are about 10 feet of mill grade having
a value of from IS to $40 Per ton. The
vein is standing nearly vertical and is
to be followed to much greater depth.
The company owns three claims, the
Hawk, California and Nevada and IS
capitalized for 81, 200. 900, with 400, 900
shares in treasury. The stock is listed
on the Goldfeld exchange and is selling
at about liz cents per share.
Most of the development thus far has
been done Of the Hawk claim and has
resulted in disclosing n strong ledge
presenting every indication of rer-
manency. A within has been installed
and work is being expedited ty two
shifts of miners.
The rock is entirely free milling and
the company proposes to treat the pro-
duct by the erection of a 5-stamp mill
at the mine. In order to secure the
funds necessary for that purpose 100,-
600 shares of Nevada Tule are to be
sold. There is an abundant water sup
ply for milling purposes and wood can
be delivered at the site for about IS per
cord, thus making it possible to treat
the ore by the elimination of freight,
sampling and other charges at a cost of
S. per ton.

s;storv of the camp has been made on
the pine Nut claim, adjoining the Con-
solidated mine on the east. In pros
ractinp the continuation of the main
Consolidated ledge towards the east a
shoot of ore, more h two feet in
width. has been opened at surface, with
,olues running above $500 per ton
snecimens literally alive with free gold
have been taken from the find. In the
course of exploration two other veins,
anparently spurs from a strong quartz
assure that traverses the claim, have
been found, one 2 feet in width; the
other from 4 to 6 feet wide. The last
two carry high milling values. The de-
velopments on the Pine Nut stamp the
nroperty as one of the greatest in camp
and the Importance to the district can
hardly be over-estimated. Ore for ship
ment is being sacked from the rich
shoot.
LETS coNTRACT.-The Granny
company has let a contract to sink an
incline shaft on a ledge that shows fair
values at surface. Fifty feet of work
will be done at once. Paintings give
every encouragement and it is thought
an ore shoot will be encountered.

Returns are at hand from a trial ship

Gently from the property of the Tom
Jaggers Mining company in lower Tule
canon. The control went at the rate of
$3.50 in gold, $1S0.S4 in silver and
$3.50 in lead. The shaft is being sunk
at an incline on the ledge and the ore
was mined in lowering it 80 feet. Along
side the vein there is a streak of tale
which holds a silver value of about $50
per ton. At present the shipping ore
occurs in punches but it is thought that
it will be found in place with depth.

Messrs. Brock. Miller, Ca~rstairs and
Stevenson of Philadelphia, and Senator

Denve Annex are controlled by the
Shove-Aldrich syndicate, of Colorado

new will be located on the
south slope of Bonanza mountain where
the Tramp recently started their big
tunnel. A survey was made last week
for a mill by the Tramp management.
GOLD BAR.-Gold Bar continues to
hold the center of the stage in a mining
way in the Bullfrog district. The new
shaft started a short time ago is beins
put down at the rate of three feet per
day. In the lower workings there is
nothing but ore, most of 1T of high grade
milling character. The amount of the
rock now blocked out would prove sur
prising if put in cold figures. The Gold
Bar is being developed with a view TO
furnishing a record output when proper
milling facilities are arranged.
