Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-03-17

and it is said it will be in operation
within four weeks. Water and wood
are to be found in abundance. Two
wells have been sunk on the townsite
ground, one striking water at depth
of about IL feet. The other was sunk
to depth of so feet.
One of the best properties in the
Manhattan district is the Matte Ethel
claim of the Manhattan Portland group.
The shaft on this property is now down
rs feet and the showing is excellent.
The ground adjoins the Annie Laurie
and Manhattan Consolidated Mining
Company's ground. 0. E. Painter is
president of the company and R. F.
Brown, secretary, and these with j. c.
Walker, VIM. Weiss and F. A. Davis
constitute the directorate.
That Tonopah people continue to be
anxious to secure the best in Man
haitian is proved by the extraordinary
demand the last few days for the stock
of the Manhattan Pin Nut mining COM
pany, the officers and directors of which
are Bert l.. Smith, President; C. w.
Robertson, Vice President; Directors,
c. D. Porter, P. O'Brien and F. M.
Benedict, Secretary-Treasurer. The
purchase of the property, comprising
the Pine Nut and Morning Glory claims,
was only concluded this week for S175,-
600 and stock in the company. The
Pine Nut claim is the east extension of
the Silver Pick, owned by the Man
haitian Consolidated Company and cover
ing l, 800 feet Of the eastern extension
of the wonderfully rich ore body proved
in that mine. That the Pine Nut will
eventually develop into as great a prop
erty there is no doubt, for the Silver
Pick vein has been opened up on the
surface for the entire / 800 feet, and of
five leases now being worked, three are
sacking high-grade ore. The company
has reserved 800 feet on the vein and
on portion of this the richest specimen
ore on the claim has been found, similar
to the Manhattan Consolidated ore,
showing leaf gold all through it. The
shaft on the Pine Nut claim IS only 80
feet from the Manhattan Consolidated
Company's shaft, and the sinking of
this will be continued at once, gaso-
line hosting plant having been ordered
and is now on the way to the mine.
Conservative mining men believe that
with development the Pine Nut will be
as valuable a mine as the Manhattan
i Consolidated

and Mr. Lindsay is greatly elated at

joy the next boom.
Postotlice Inspector c. +. Booth anC
Assistant Coast Manager Of the posta

yesterday to try and bring order out Of
chaos in the postoflce. The postmaster
has done everything possible, but Uncl,
Sam doesn't keep pace with condition,

that has sufficient help to properl,
transact the business Of the Office.
