west of the Consolidated line. Decid-
edly satisfactory values are shown, al
though the shaft is not exposing the
richer sections of the vein. No attempt

One of the important developments
of the past week was the decision on
the part of Patrick, Elliott & Camp of
Goldfeld, who control the Buffalo and
Combination mines, to build ten-stamp
mill for the purpose of handling on the
ground the ores of these two properties.
An estimate was made during the week
of the amount of ore available for mill
ing, and it was found that the rock on
the dumps, which was displaced by the
ordinary course of development with
out any attempt being made to strip
the ground, will keep the mill running
for at least six months.
Frank Golden, president of the Nye
& 0rmsby County Bank, visited Man
haitian this week. He was here to look
over the Manhattan branch of his bank
which recently moved into new stone
building on Main street. Mr.. Golden
is just back from trip to San Fran
cisco, where he reports greater and
growing interest in Manhattan on the
part of the investing public. Mr..
Golden, who is an enthusiast about the
state Of Nevada, said with elation as he
recounted the progress made in the last
five years: "Nevada's prospects now
are better than they ever were. The
era Of prosperity that is now dawninl
for Nevada win be the best in history
Railroad activity for the first time il
the history Of the state is assuming
wide and important proportions. Thu
mining and business outlook was neve
so good as now, and with the big rail
road program ahead Of us, we will sool
be doing things that win more thar
ever make us the center Of attraction
throughout the whole country. Man

While the heavy snow which has GOV
cred the mountains for the past few
weeks has somewhat retarded mining
operations, and made work "on top
almost prohibitory, unusual progress il
the fa,e Of these adverse conditions ha
been made. While it is difficult TO sc
cure an accurate estimate Of the mum
Der of producing mines in Manhattan
today, il is safe to say that high grad
shipping values are being hoisted to tn
surface from at least 80 different places
