ledge is yielding high grade in shipping

THE PINE HILL
Work has been resumed on the es-
tates of the Manhattan Pine Hill Min
ing company in the north end of the
camp. The shaft is being sunk in a
ledge of low grade showing true and
strong between well defined walls. Sink
ing is to continue until the permanent
ore zone is reached when the acreage
will be crosscut and drifts be run out
along the strike of the ledge in search
of a pay shoot. Gold values are improv-
ing somewhat as depth is gained. This
feature, together with the fact that the
quartz is becoming more compact n
better mineralized as the shaft is low

body of pay grade below the sedimen-
tary formation.

within a few days development will be
forwarded through it's medium. The
hoist has a lifting capacity from a depth
of 500 feet and is of latest model. At
a depth of 40 feet the mineral showing
is very encouraging. Sinking is to con-
tinue until a depth of 200 feet is gained
and at that level the ground will be
crosscut and the ledge drifted on.
1t is believed that the sulphide zone
will be entered at that depth and that
the big, Consolidated assure will be
tapped.
PINE NUT EXTENSION
An unfortunate similarity in names
whereby the Manhattan Mohawk Mining
company and the Manhattan Mohawk
Mining syndicate were confused in the
minds of the public, has led the first
mentioned company to re-incorporate
under the name of the Manhattan Pin
Nut Extension Mining company. For
some weeks development of the latter
company's ground has proceeded under
very encouraging mineral conditions
and it seems very probable that the
ledge system crossing the acreage will
make good at depth. The holdings are
located in the east end of the pay belt.
