MANHATTAN BRONCHO HAS
FOUR FEET OF $500 ORE

The Manhattan Broncho has just cut
into feet of ore at the 2oo-foot level
that goes 5000 to the ton. This con-
firms the previous high estimate put
on this property by mining experts.
In declining market the stock has
within the past few days made sensa-
tional advance OF from is cents to s5
cents.
Charles NJ. Schwab who, although a
manufacturer of steel always seems to
pick winner In mining. is large
holder of Broncho stock and those who
have followed his lead find themselves
today no losers by such action.
From the Broncho. both on the sur
face and below. the finest specimens OF
ore ever shown by Manhattan were
secured. and the indications OF the ex-
tensive naturalization of this territory
have from the beginning caused II to be
regarded as one, of the most valuable
prospects in the state.

CoPPERoPoLIs PUSHING WORK

On the Copperopolis property, Is
miles northeast of Goldfeld. ten men are
kept steadily employed in shaft and tun-
mel. In the former, the men are in a
75-foot drift trying to tap the rich sill
yer ledge which furnished shipping ore
on the surface. The formation lies ex-
ceedingly fiat and may necessitate an
upraise should the vein not be encoun-
tered within the next 20 feet The shaft
is rs feet deep.
About 1900 feet to the north, on an
other claim belonging to the company's s
group of seven, a shift of men are tun-
neling into the mountain side to tap a
huge cropping which also gives good
silver values. The men are in 40 feet
and expect to cut the ledge 100 feet
from the entrance of the tunnel.

GOLD BAR TO SHIP HIGH GRADE

The Gold Bar company started hoist
ing ore Monday. and the management
expects to ship carload that will aver
age $3.50 to the ton about the end of the
month. All the medium grade rock is
being dumped.
This company has up to date spent a
sum of about $4,000 in the develop
ment of its ground. The 5x9 foot shaft
is down 215 feet and will be sunk to the
500-foot point The mine has levels at
IS, $50 and 200 feet down. At the lat
ter point the ledge is 200 feet across and
carries values not above $50. The ship
ping grades come from the 65-foot level.
while on the $50 a good body of milling
ore has been tapped. The management
OF the company estimates that hence

Among the Diamondfeld mines, the
Daisy is rapidly creating itself record
for the production of shipping ore. The
ore bodies are reported to be increasing
in width and value and give every evil
dence of promoting the property among
the highest ranks of permanent ship

best ore bodies are near the 200-foot
level and the ground is being thoroughly
exploited.

GOLD QUEEN

The Gold Queen Mines company is de-

north of the Orc Goldfield company. and
has put shaft down so feet. A leasing
company will take up a lease on this
ground after the first of the year. and
will resume the sinking of a shaft that
is already at the 75-foot. 1t will erect
all the necessary machinery and sink to
225 feet This territory has some very
promising surface indications, and as
says up to about $50 were had in
trenches. The directors have recently
been considering the advisability of ex-
ploring the ground by means of dia-
mond drill. The Gold Queen Mines
company is made up largely of Chicago
and ST. Louis people who have also
holdings in other parts of the district.

GOOD WORK BEING DONE
BY PROMINENT LEASERS

Among the busiest operators in the
camp at the present time are DIR. w. X.
Robinson and George Vickers who are
operating four different leases on some
of the best ground in Goldfeld. They
are employing in the neighborhood of
100 men, have all their leases thor

adding at least two more to the list of
shipping leases in the next 30 days.
Following is brief description of their
various leases.

suIrH1nE ORE IN N1aHrHAwx

A significant strike. which tends to
increase the scope of Goldfelds sui
phide zone, has been made In the Nc
Lisle lease on the Eastside claim of the
Nighthawk group. At depth of $50
feet the miners broke through the coun-
try rock into large body of sulphide
ore. Though less crystalized and more
compact than the famous Mohawk ore,
it bears many of the same character
istics.
The find is considered remarkable. in
asmuch that 1t is the first sulphide ore
discovered near the base of Columbia
mountain, and further west than any
sulphide ore ever before found in the
district. Very little has yet been as
certained as to the extent of the vein,
