Three Had Narrow Escape from
 Death.

Three persons, two young women and boy, had narrow escape from death in the shaft of the Gila Gold Lode company's mine, in the White Tanks district. Sunday afternoon. The mine is under the management of Superintendent s. W. Haines, one of the best known mining men in this part of the territory. Mir. Haines has standing order at the mine to allow no one who is not employed there in the shaft unless by his permission. However, on Sunday there was quite large party of gentlemen from Phoe- nix and Buckeye looking over the property and while the mouth of the shaft was ungarded temporarily the two girls and the boy took advantage of the situation to get peep at the underground workings.
 The shaft is 300 feet deep and after they had explored the bottom they started to retrace their steps to the tcp. TLe girls had just passed the 2OO-foot level and the boy was within a few feet of the l00-foot level when he lost his hold on the ladder and started on frightful plunge 200 feet toward the bottom of the shaft. Work men who were standing at the 2OO-foot level thought he would surely strike the girls on the ladder below him and sweep them down with him but just before he reached them his body struck the ladder and was forced out ward toward the middle of the shaft thus avoiding hitting them.
 In striking the ladder the force of his fall was considerably broken an6 the me nat the 2OO-foot le Tel We. e abled to reach out and, almost provi dentially, caught a portion of hi. clothing and arrested his fall. Tn boys injuries consisted of a broker arm and one of his legs broken in tw, places.

 He said that he had visited all of the places in his neighborhood upon which locations have been made since the wonderful discovery in which he is interested and found that ore of great value had been taken out of sev- eral of them.

Manhattan.

In speaking of Manhattan, a contem- porary says: "There has never been boom like this since the old boom in Bodie in 1879. Klondike, Cripple Creek and other rushes were insignificant in comparison"
 We have several times called atten- tion to the fact that often the old road, the old trail. the well-trodden path, led over unsuspected bonanzas. Man haitian is on the old road, the old trail. In looking for hidden treasure the miner and the prospector have travel ed over the Manhattan road, tired. ex- hausted, dispirited, for period of fifty years or more, always pressing on- ward to seize the bag of gold fastened to the tail of rainbow glittering in the distance.
 Manhattan, according to a Nevada paper, lies on one of the old, we'll travelled wagon roads that has been used since 1862. Much of the machin- cry from Sacramento to Belmont was hauled over this road. Belmont is only fourteen miles away, and a fair road connects the two camps. The town of Manhattan is in canyon three miles in length. Like Bingham, Utah, there is but one road through the camp, and this extends from one end Of the canyon to the other. The one street Is mile in length. The rich gold discoveries of the camp were made in both sides of the canyon. The formation is all that could be desired. being contact veins between lime and porphyry, the hanging wall being lime and the fOotwall porphyry, with occas- lonal occurrences of mica, schist, quartz and spar. The ore is sensa- tlonally rich and some of the mines have produced the purest and most beautiful specimens of free gold ever found in Nevada camps. But the best feature of all is the fact that it is not q 'one-mine" camp, as there are many properties there that are productive of high grade ore in astonishing quan- tity. The existence of Manhattan has been known for the past six or eight months, but it has only been recently that the knowledge of its true value has reached the outside world. Ne vada is full of such wonderful possi- b lities, and it k probably only a aues-
 on of time before other new camps, now but little known, will spring into equal prominence.-Sal Lake Mining Review.

Carrigan to number of his acquaiutances on board the Daylight Express as he exhibited l sack of ore, the pieces of which were literally speckled with gold. We have let a contract to crosscut the entire vein or deposit" he said, the extent of which We have not yet determined, but we will continue this crosscut until we find the walls and make thorough tests as to the character and value of the different ores found at this depth. The crosscut will tap the mountain at depth of 42O feet from where the apex of the deposit appears above us, and where We first found ore of such start ling value in boulders which had be- come detached from the ledge many

vast pirate treasure, known to him. self and some Phenix friends, located on Cocas Island in the Pacific ocean.
 Mr. Winnie was proprietor at that
 time of the Palace cafe in Douglas, and still lives here. He was negotiat- ing with his friends in Phenix, who owned a map of the Island, which in- dicated the place where vast treas ures were said to have been buried in years agone by pirates and Spanish refugees from California during the Mexican war of independence. But Mir. Vinnie's friends failed to come to his terms as to joint expedition in search of the treasure, and the matter was for the time dropped.
 A few days ago he sold his restau- rant in Douglas and might have used his knowledge and funds and persua- sion to some purpose upon the Phenix possessors of the treasure map and secret, but, behold, on the very night upon which the sale of his business in Douglas was made, came the Los An geles Examiner, with full page ar ticle and illustrations of the discovery upon the old pirate resort of Cocas Island of treasure of gold, silver and jewels, amounting in value, according to estimate, from 33,OOO,OOO to IOO,- GOO, ,OOOS.
 The discovery was made by the Brit ish yacht Ras Marine, owned and com manded by Harold w. $. Gray, an Englishman. Ten days ago, the yacht fresh from the treasure island, put into the harbOr of Valparaiso, Chiii, South America, for coal, and the fi1 d was telegraphed to San Francisco The yacht is now on her way to Eng land with the tens of millions of pirate gold and jewels in her hold, says the Examiner.
 And Mr. Winnie, of Douglas, who could not persuade his friends in Phe- nix in time, and the Phenix parties who procrastinated, are now very, very sorry they did rot hurry.
 The PheniX parties, two brothers, made one trip to the republic of Chili, which owns the Cocas Island, to obtain a concession to hunt for the treasure, but they failed to get it. Some cor rupt officials wanted to imprison one of the party and force him to give up his secret. They had a narrow escape and came back to the United States to raise more money and try again.
 It has been known for some seventy years or more that there was buried treasure on Cocas Island, and some had been found, and battles had been fought for the right to explore the island, but the old pirates generally | hid their treasures pretty well, and the big find was left to be made by the | nglishman.-Bisbee Review.

 A number of the local shareholders of the Arizona Gold Mining Co.,, met at Judge Hampton's office Monday night last for the purpose of hearing a report from E. U. Beauchamp upon the extent and importance of the re- cent strike made on the Gold Nugget claim. The Era is not permitted to give the details of the report, but learns that the tunnel is now in $50 feet, and that the pay streak is from thu ee and half to four feet in width. and of grade that will stand trans portatiOn from the mines to Fl Paso and still leave a handsome margin of profit. Another block of treasury stock was ordered sold at 50 cents Der share, pro ratta among the sharehold- CTS, which was at once over subscribed by those present. Since the strike was made public two weeks ago there has been strong local demand for the stock, but not a single share of it has been sold by the original incorporators of the company. All shareholders are well pleased with the present outlook of the property and have announced a willingness to continue to put up until such time as the property will be on a paying basis.-Copper Era. f.

The claims belonged to L. D. | and are located right next to the property of the Mineral Hill Con- solidated Mining company. The Pitts burg capitalists are headed by H. D. Gamble. It is said on good authority that the price was in the neighbor- hood of l00,0O0S. Mir. Chilson received a payment down of several thousand dollars, and others will follow at short intervals. Mr. Gamble and his asso- ciated will proceed immediately with development work to ascertain the ex- tent of the ore bodies. They will put in some machinery and proceed with the work before incorporating. It is believed that they have acquired very valuable property. Good copper ore is in sight, with some silver values. Mir. Chilson has owned the claims for some time and has worked hard to de- Velop them. Mr. Gamble has been here several days with a mining ex- pert examining the property.-Phenix
