within a hort distance of the town a,
Manhattan. A shaft has been sunk m
the property to a depth of SO feet ana
a strong, well mineralized ledge has
been followed down from surface. This

On the Millionaire group, also thu
property of the Eureka company. a
large force of miners is engaged in
surface prospecting preparatory to the
taking up Of development at depth. The
acreage is located on the south belt Of
the district and has excellent prospec.
tive value. Very encouraging assays

face and as the naturalization of the
lodges is pronounced. there is every
reason to believe that pay grade will be
found with depth.
THE BI0 CHEF
A force of miners is engaged in sur
face prospecting the Big Chief prop
erty and as soon as a favorable spot is
located the work Of sinking a main
working shaft will be started. An order
has peer placed for a hosting plant and
II is expected that 1t will be in place
and operation within the next thirty
DAYS. The acreage is traversed by a
number of very promising lodges from
which encouraging assays and paintings
are being ecure
LITTLE GRAY
On the Raycraft lease on the Little
Gray, a 12-foot vein of high grade MILL
ing ore has been encountered. Selected
samples pan very high in free gold, and
the entire ledge will average about $40
per ton. The ore is a very good quality
of free milling ore.

ou,te a stir was occasioned last
"Wednesday by a panning from a sample
found in the tunnel of the Manhattan
Mother Lode Mining company. E E.
Kahn. while prospecting the hill on the
Mother Lode property, found a piece Oh
very good looking float directly above
the tunnel. He thereupon entered the
tunnel to a point below his nnd' ano
upon prospecting the sides, found a talc
streak cutting through the tunnel ano
took several samples therefrom. he
came out into the light and noticed sew
eral particles of free gold on his sam
pie. He brought 1t to town. and upon
banning II, found one of the largest
ever seen in this district. MT.
Train. a local assayer estimated the
value at $780, 900 per ton. The sample
was about the size of a hens egg. The
management are at present tracing the
source of his rich find.
MANHATTAN CAT BIRD
Within the past few days FIVE new
veins have been uncovered on Cat Bro
acreage by means of surface trenching.
The lodges all have an east and west
strike and carry excellent milling
values. The quartz SHOWS markeu eNi-
dences of naturalization and presents
characteristics which argue well for the
finding of pay grade in place at no
great depth. w. A. Pierce, formerly SUI
perintendent Of mining properties at
Molone's camp, California. has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the Cat BIRD
company's property and assumed charge
on the goth of the present month.
THE PEDRO GROUP
Active development has been taken UP
on the Pedro group of 6 claims located
on Timber mountain about A miles south
of Manhattan. The formation is altered
lime, shale and schist with lime dikes
similar in their characteristics to the
formation on the best properties In the
camp. Three quartz veins outcrop on
the acreage and in each instance pan
and assay we'll at surface. The rock
carries hematites of iron and some free
gold and the chances favor the finding
of a large and well mineralized ore body
with depth.

A depth Of 90 feet has been attained
in the main working shaft of the Man.
haitian Jumping Jack Mining company
and on the Colder lease ore having a
vo,a grade in excess of 800 the ton is
being mined and sacked. The rock Is
coming from the drift at the bO-foot
level and a shipping average Is mann
tanned without resort to sorting. oper-
atoms on account are to be
furthered by means of a 25-horse power
hoist which will be installed within the
next three weeks. AS the SHAFT has
been lowered a number of stringers
which return a generous string OF
colors to the pan, have been cut, but
nothing in the way of a permanent
are body disclosed. At surface, how
ever, a vertical ledge, which pans well,
and which comes in from Gold Wedge
| ground, has been discovered and this
| lead when intersected by the crosscut
from the 100-foot level, is expected to
contain pay values in place. That 1t
will do so is evidenced by the mineral
lied characteristics 1t presents at sur
face. Several other veins will likewise
be tapped by means of the drifts to be
sent out from the 100-foot station
among them being the famous Stray
Dog ledge which passes through Jump
ing Jack ground to the west of the COM
pany shaft.
MANHATTAN EXPRESS
A contract for a ffty-foot shaft on
the property of the Manhattan Express
Mining company was closed yesterday,
and the men will begin active work to-
day. The shaft will be sunk on a good
looking quartz ledge, and the property
developed in a thoroughly miner-hke
fashion. From the showings already
uncovered, it is quite evident that a
good body of high grade ore will be de-
veloped at depth.
MANHATTAN MUSTANG
The hoist on the Mustang claim has
been erected on the company's property
and is about ready for service. 1t occu-
pies a very prominent place on the hill,
and can be seen from quite a distance
down the canon. A very good grade OF
milling ore is being taken from the COM
pany shaft on this property.

A very promising mining proposition
in the east end Of the camp is that
owned by the Manhattan Standard Gold
Mining company. The company owns
several claims in a group. but at this
time is combining its efforts to proving
up the Bald Eagle claim under ndi-
lions that favor success. The main
working shaft is down a depth of IS
feet and for s5 feet of the distance has
been timbered. The timbering has been
done in a workman-like manner and the
shaft is unquestionably one Of the very
best in the camp. A plant OF machinery
has been ordered and will be installed
within the next thirty days. Imme-
diateiy following the shaft will be low
cred to the full lifting capacity of the
machinery and the ground be explored
at EACH 5o-foot point en- route. Four
feet of excellent mill rock is showing
all of which pans well.
Shaft No. 2 on the Bald Eagle is down
rs feet and the entire bottom is In ore.
| Sinking is to continue until a depth or
100 feet is gained when the vein system
is to be proved UP. North of this shaft
there is a ledge % feet in width similar
in appearance to that showing on the
April Fool. On the latter acreage the
lead has yielded some of the highest
gold values ever mined In the camp and
+, with depth the chances favor similar re-
suits on Manhattan Standard ground.
The has an ample treasury re-
serve with which to further develop
ment and is prosecuting work in an
economic and systematic manner.
CONSOLIDATED MANHATTAN
The tunnel on the Consolidated Man
haitian property at East Manhattan is
now in the hill SO feet. and is all in ore
of a milling grade. A large force of
men are at work driving the tunnel with
all speed, to develop the large S00-foot
ledge on the property. Already they
have tapped four veins which cut
through this ledge, all of which contain
very good values. The vein at the face
of the tunnel is the best looking one yet
encountered, and pans very good in free
gold. This is destined to make one of
the big mines of this country.

suFrALo

Work on the Buffalo is progressing
rapidly, and from the character of the
ore now being extracted. a paying mine
is assured. This property, the Consol-
idated Manhattan and the Manhattan
Mammoth are all developing on the
same big ledge, and many mining men
of this section are of the opinion that
some of the largest mines will be in this
vicinity.

DIVIDEND

The Manhattan Dividend Mining COM
pany has placed three men at work on
it's property. This marks the beginning
of active development. Outcroppings
on the ledge show it to be 20 feet wide
on the surface and assays $3.50 to the
ton. The company is in the hands of
such we'll known mining men as George
Wingfie1d. III. It. Bragdon. Gus Eisen
and George Fl. Lewis.
There is $4,000 in the treasury and
as yet not a share of stock has been
sold, which is a commendable feature
of the organization.

zANzIBAR

The Zanzibar Mining c~ompany's prop
erty. consisting of four claims adjoin-
ing the Pine Nut on the east is now in
fifty feet with three shifts working. The
road leading to the mine will shortly be
completed having been under construc-
ton the past few weeks.
The management states that the tun-
mel will be driven a distance of $50 feet
where it is expected to tap the ledge at
a depth of 800 feet. Between the 300
foot level and the surface are two lodges
which will be cut during the progress
of the tunnel.

COWBOY

Drifting was begun Friday last from
the 75-foot level of the Manhattan Cow
boy, and almost Immediately a three
foot vein of fine looking quartz carrying
heavy iron sulphides, was encountered
This vein was found in the shaft. but
only in small quantity. 1t has opened
UP strong in the drift and returns values
of a little over SIS. Mining men are
strong in their belief that the Cowboy
have a permanent mining proposition,
and feel confident that a rich shoot will
soon be found which will place the Cow
boy N the ranks of the steady pro-
ducers.
The dry washer which is at work on
lease No. 8 of the Cowboy is giving ex-
cellent satisfaction. This is a novel
process. The dirt is thrown on a screen
at the top of the machine, sifted below
pinto a shaker. then deposited on rifle
boards. A bellows is constantly send
ing a current of air across these rifle
boards. This blows off the sand. and
the gold being heavier is deposited at
the bottom of the board and is caught
by the rifles. Considerable iron is
caught in this way. and therefore is
separated by quicksilver after being
taken from the rifle board.

WHY Cut Glass Breaks.

Cut glass makers explain why it is
that there are frequent reports Of cut
glass suddenly breaking or crumbllng
on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes
and elsewhere, although the glass was
not in use. They assert that whenever
the tone Of any cut glass article comes
into contact with it's responsive chord
the life Of the glass will go with the
tone, by which it is affected, and the
glass collapses or crumbles. 1t IS on
record a famous opera singer could
break cut glassware by reaching high
C in her singing. Several tests were
made in New York and Paris, and by
her singing she broke several pieces OF
cut glassware The tone Of violin II
attuned so as to be in true accord with
cut glass will destroy it.

q BRAKE ON SUCCESS.
The Habit OF Making Excuses VIII

Retard ANY Mans Career.
Good excuses have kept back many
q man from realizing prosperous ca
reer. Once you get the excuse making
habit formed you might as well have
ball and chain attached to your neck
so far as Your prospects for rising to
the top are concerned.
There are two kinds Of excuses which
keep q clerk in the business world oc-
cupying 4 clerks position when he is
capable Nas it in him) to be something
better if he only would. The first class
Of excuses are the ones he makes to
himself. These are often as enervat-
Ing, subtle and death dealing as the
nasty cigarette.
A clerk sees piece ef work which
be knows ought to be done today. He
knows that the best interests of the
business require that this work should
not be put off until tomorrow. But he
has not yet reached point where be,
realizes that his employers interests
are Identical with his own, and per-
haps he was out late last night and
feels q lack Of ambition today. So he
excuses himself from doing the work
on the ground that 'tthe boss" didn't
tell him to do it today. After soothing
his conscience with this specious men-
tai dope he puts in his spare time read
ing about the way Slobett knocked out
Casey in twenty-one rounds. Several
days later when the neglected work
comes under the eye of ''the boss" our
clerk is asked why he did not do it,
and he then repeats his stereotyped
excuse that he wasn't ''told' to do it.
For such a one the gateway to success
is always barred.
This brings US to the second kind Of
excuse, that made to ones employer.
Of the two this latter kind Of excuse is
the less injurious to the clerks chance
of advancement When he excuses
himself from doing obviously impor-
tant work he instills into his own
mind a subtle mental poison, a don t.
care-a-hang essence that breeds lack OF
backbone, lack Of concentration, lack OF
continuity and application. He weak
ems and incapacitates himself far more
when he excuses himself to himself be-
cause he will then often allow his mind
to dwell on excuses so weak that he
would never dream Of giving them
verbal utterance in the presence OF his
employer.
And when he has once set the men
tai habit Of excusing himself he goes
on and on binding the fetters which
will forever hold him back from any
rise. 1t is now only short step to
finding good excuses for not doing
what he has been told to do. Then L
little further along on the same line 1t
will be strange indeed if he does not
land himself on the boot toe that ele-
Yates the incompetent and deposits

TIDAL FLUX AND REFLUX.
Complicated Movements OF the Bill

lows OF the Oceans.
Those who sec the rise and fall OF
the tides in our Atlantic harbors sell
dom think of the wonderful course
OF the ocean waves which cause the
tidal fuX and refuN. Such pillows not
only cross the sea, but flow from ocean
to ocean. and in this way complicated
movements are set going.
Thus, for instance, once in every
twelve hours the moon raises q tide
billow in the southern Indian ocean
When this biliow passes the Cape Of
Good Hope at noon its successor is al
ready born, and By the time the 1lrst
billow has reached the Azores islands
at midnight the second is rounding the
cape, and a third has come into eX-
istence in the southern ocean. by I
o'clock in the morning following its
passage OF the cape the tide billow
reaches the English channel, and there
the shallow waters delay it so much
that it, does not arrive at the strait of
Dover until 10 a. nj. Here the mar
rowing channel causes the tide to rise
very high and almost puts an end to
the wave.
In the meantime another branch Of
the bilsow runs around the western
side Of the British islands, rounds
the north. point Of Scotland and moves
slowly down the eastern coast of Eng
land until It finally flows up the
Thames and laps the wharfs Of Loa-

The c-nmnet Story.

Oliver, Wendell Holmes professed TO
have profound respect for the Dutcn,
possibly on account of what he used
to call ''the European aborigines OF
America being Dutch. He gave an
aspect of slyness to his respect which
inspired the idea that it was not IN
tempered by humor. but he maintained
that the Dutch, in spite Of their stolidl-
ty. had great deal Of hunor them
selves. "For instance" he would say,

Weighing Common Air.

The weight Of air has often been
tested by COMPRISING it in receptacles
by the air pump. That it really has
weight when so compressed is shown
by the fact that the weight Of the YES
seis is increased slightly by filing
them with compressed air and that
such vessels become specifically eight
err as soon as the air contained in
them is exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on the weight OF air nave
proved that the cubic foot weighs $50
grains, or something less than one and
q quarter ounces. The above expert
ment on the weight Of air is supposed
to be made at the surface of the eartn
with the temperature at so degrees F.
Heated air or air at high elevations IS
