The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-07-21

most complete thus far installed on a
Manhattan mine. 1t consists of 50-horse
power boiler and hoist, capable of lift
ing the heavily laden ore buckets from
a depth Of 1000 feet, a pump, air COM
pressor and drills. .
Some time since an underground
water course was tapped in the old
shaft sunk on the property and as the
flow was sufficient in volume to retard
operations it was deemed advisable to
prepare for handling the water at depth
by the installation of a pump.
From the levels radiating from the
old and new shafts the ground is being
prospected in every direction and al
ready large bodies of mill rock are
blocked out. At one point an extensive
deposit of shipping quartz is being
worked, but 1t is in the immense de-
posits of high class mill rock that the
great intrinsic value of the property is
being maintained and increased.
TIMBER HILL SECTION
Reports from the Timber Hill section
indicate that mining activity is on the
increase having received impetus as the
result of several important strikes made
there recently. Operations are appar-
emily not confined to any particular Sec
ton, but are universal throughout the
entire region.
On the Hanson and Harvey property
a large body of high grade ore has been
opened up at a depth of % feet. The
quartz has an average value of $500 the
ton and is holding well with depth. The
find is Of particular significance from
the fact that the rock carries silver as
well as gold, a characteristic which is
indicative of the permanercy of vein
and precious metal values to great
depth. The metals prevail in the ledge
on a ratio of about one-third silver to
two-thirds gold. The entire product Is
sacked as fast as broken down and the
run out from it's bottom for a number
of feet and in it's breast a high grade
of mill rock is showing.
The Manhattan Diamond property,
controlled by New York people, gives
promise of developing into one of the
bonanzas of the Manhattan district as
precious metal values are increasing
with every foot of depth over those
prevailing at grass roots. The Man
haitian Key and Timber Hill properties
are likewise showing up splendidly and
their gold values are on the increase.
On the HI. & H.. property the showing is
well above average for the depth at
tanned and 1t seems probable that 1t will
develop into a regular and lucrative
producer.
MAYFLowEn
Pans are being formula: ed for ex-
tens,ve development of the acreage
owned by the Manhattan Mayf1ower
Mining on Golden hill. 1t IS
the purpose to at once surface prospect
and prove up the vein system on the
Big Pine and Mayfower claims and to
that end a unnel is to be run which will
intersect the vein system. From the
main bore laterals are to be run out
along the strike of the various veins in
search of permanent bodies of pay ore.
BRoNcHo OPERATIONS
A. ]. Lye, an experienced mining man
who has operated successfully in Colo
RADIO and other western mining c~enters.
is in charge of development Of the
estate of the ronch Manhattan Min
ing company. having recently entered
the company's employ. He is preparing
to sink a deep main working shaft aud a
contract for 200 feet of sinking has been
let. The shaft is to be 4kx9 feet in
the clear and is to be utilized as a me-
dunn for exploring the main Broncho-
Mustang ledge and he intersecting vein
system.
