Manhattan. New, May l3.-The great
mining camp Of Manhattan Is still
keeping UP It's mark in the way Of FUR
nshing sensations Of wonderful strikes
and good showings made IN everyday
development work on it's properties
The tunnel on The Consolidated Man
haitian property is being actively push
ed forward. and Is now In the hill A
feet. At a distance OF 80 feet IN, a
good looking vein was encountered.
which was found TO be five feet across.
ard gave assay returns OF over $50 Il
the ton In gold. This rich vein Is only
one Of a series OF veins which run
through The immense ledge which trav-
orses the company's property, and Is
from $50 to 400 feet Wide. Al A feet In
the tunnel the fve-foot vein had been
left behind and another formation en-
countored which looks even richer than
this. Samples Of ore taken thorefrom
pan very high, and Il Is very reasonable
TO assume that Il shipping proposition
win soon be made Of this property. \
high grade milling proposition Is al
ready IN sight. A contract was closed
the early part Of the week TO drive the
tunnel 200 feet into the hill.
The Manhattan Mammoth adj
Joins the Consolidated Manhattan on
the east. and is an extension of the
same big ledge which crosses the Con-
solidated holdings. This company Is
developing it's property by means OF
tunnel, and VIII soon have a compress
sor plant Installed TO speedily pursue
the work. A contract for 200 feet OF
work has also been let ON the Manhat-
tan Mammoth.
The property Of the Manhattan Buff
falo lies directly to the west OF the
Consolidated Manhattan at East Man-
+, haitian. A large force Of men is ~
work on this ground developing the
company's holdings by means Of two
shafts. Both shafts are IA ore of
high grade, and IT wont be very long
before the little town OF East Manhat-
tan will equal its rival, Manhattan. In
the output Of the precious metals.
The first mine of the camp, the Man
haitian Consolidated IL still holding up
its reputation. An extra force OF men
was put 10 work day or SO ago, and
work is being pushed forward with
even more vlgor. Sack upon sack Of high
grade shipping ore is being piled on
the dumps. and the Manhattan Con-
sOlidated will IN the very near future
opah and Goldfield.
Az the Manhattan Mother Lode OK
ocllent showings are being made IN the
tunnel. It Is fair To presume that the
near future win develop another prop
erty similar 20 the Consolidated. The
tunnel is being driven from the base Of
the hill, and every foot advanced shows
up better than the preceding one, Very
high values have been cut in this tun-
t.,.s 4. u.
ahead TO thoroughly develop the prop
erty before endeavoring to sack and
ship the high grade ore.
Still another new ledge was found
day before yesterday on the Iron Queen
claim Of the Manhattan Cowboy COM
pany. which bids fair 10 become the
equal or superior OF any ledge so far
uncovered ON the company's holdings.
This ledge consists of n black quartz
similar to that being found on the IA
nous Georgey group at Central, and
gives values right from the surface
Development win be pursued steadily
on this new find The company shaft
on the Iron King claim of the Cow
boy company, IL improving as depth IL
gained. SO far as values are concerned
The heavy iron suphides which were
first encountered at a depth OF about
go feet are looking richer with every
foot gained and shipping mine IL
practically assured combination Of
men has leased the surface OF the Iron
King claim for placer purposes, and
win install dry washers to gather the
rich gold Already one machine Is on
the ground and others viii quickly fol-
low
The shaft on the Bullhead claim.
lying directly west Of the Cowboy is
now M high grade ore. and shipments
will soon be made. They are working
in the same sulphide ore that has been
found on the Cowboy holdings, and
there seems 10 be no end to the rich
metals.
The big hoist on the property Of the
Manhattan Dexter Is working TO It's
fullest capacity and ore is being rap
idly raised TO the surface and sacked
The shaft is now down over 200 feet
and Is In better ore than was encoun-
tered nearer the surface,
