from the East, Malcolm L. Macdonald,
president of the Tonopah Exploration
Company proceeded to Manhattan to
settle one or two points and solve a few
difficulties that have tended to retard
the entire district.
The Tonopah Exploration Company
W the control of the Mustang and
Little Grey mines, the sampling of
which has just completed by an ap-
pointee of Mr.. Macdonald, and a large
quantity of ore has been forwarded to
Denver for tests to determine the best
process of reduction. From tests
already made it is believed that by
stamp milling, plate amalgamation and
cyanide from Sc to so per cent of the
values can be saved at reasonable cost.
The result of Macdonald's visit to the
camp is that a mill will be erected i'm
mediately, the site for which has been
selected IN the Little Grey ground.
Water for this will be piped from Jet
Canyon, IA miles from which point it
will flow by gravity. The water rights
have been purchased, the route sur
veyed and the pipes ordered and the
contract for the mill will be let very
shortly.
1t is estimated that the Little Grey
leases and company workings show over
200, 900 tons of ore running from $18 to
$50 a ton, all of which will yield a
plendid profit if reduced in the camp.
Mr.. Macdonald who was most en-
thusiastic over the camp said: MAN
haitian is all right and is really looking
better than | expected. 1t will be a
great camp and there will be lots of
money made there. The grade of the
enormous tonnage of ore now blocked
out guarantees this" This statement
is borne out by the splendid develop
ment in every section of the camp.
The Jumping Jack which is opening
up wonderfully well has received re-
turns from a shipment of 149, 81 pounds
of ore which returned SIT, 672. %, or
over S240 a ton.
The Original Manhattan will shortly
enter the shipping list and now has a
considerable tonnage of high-grade ore
on the dump, while the recent purchase
by John l.. Powell, who is manager of
this mine and the Consolidated, of TO-
900 shares of stock is pretty good evil
dence of his faith in the property.
The Consolidated is still the wonder
of the camp and its main shaft con-
tinues to be sunk in h~igh-grade ship
ping ore.
The Broncho is another property that
is making good and general manager
Jack Mullin was showing some assays
this week hat mads mems eyes open
very wide.
The Yellow Horse, which helped to
make Manhattan, is also in splendid ore
and the Paymaster at Central is putting
$l46 ore IN the dump for shipment.
Nowhere is more money being in
vested in the mines than in Manhattan
itself where the local Stock Board is
crowded daily and thousands of shares
OF good low-priced stock are eagerly
bought by the residents of the camp.
The tunnel on the Georgey group of
the Manhattan Nevada gold mines com
pany is being steadily pushed forward,
while the vein disclosed in a drift from
the tunnel. is rapidly widening and the
values increasing. The vein encountered
a few days ago in the breast Of the
tunnel, has now been pierced and proves
to be s feet in width, and pans well
across. This ore body will be followed,
and the ore blocked out as rapidly as
possible. 1t has been conceded by all
that a mine lies in Georgey hill, and
that supposition is rapidly being proven
a fact by the magnificent showing in
the tunnel to date.
A rich strike was recentlJ made on
the Searchlight claim, about a mile
north Of town. A vein s inches to |
loot in width was disclosed, showing
Tree gold, and averaging above $500 per
Ton A stringer about 2 inches in width
was found on the surface of the Search
hght claim several weeks ago. The
management at once started a shaft
Deiow this find, and at a depth of 80
ieet began prosecuting to strike this
ieoee at depth and encounter the vein
winch was wider and very rich. The
gre y being sacked as taken out, and
arlrting on the vein will Immediately
be started.
