A MILL IN OPERATION.
The practicabiity of Round Noun

A district which during the past
summer has seen somewhat dun times
is that Of Manhattan. and there Is q
reason for 1t. 1t is we'll authenti-
Gated fact that San Francisco people
would have none Of Tonopah, nor Of
Goldfeld, nor yet of Bullfrog and
when they all proved to be first class
mining camps and the strike was made
at Manhattan just year ago, these
same San F'ranclscans fairly broke
their necks In purchasing properties.
This was during January, February
and March and the writer happened
to be In San Francisco during this
period. Anything from Manhattan
commanded a ready sale and found no
end OF purchasers. This continued
until the earthquake and fire and then
there followed a sudden standstill.
During this period the growth of
Manhattan was phenomenal and the
town grew in a night almost.
The writer has seen mining towns
grow for q years, but ne has no hesi-
fancy in saying that none that he
ever saw or heard OF grew 80 sud
denly as did Manhattan. Town lots ad-
vanced beyond all reason and mining
claims likewise. II was the worst
craze of oil, but with that indesoriba-
bic calamity of San Francisco came
the collapse Of Manhattan. People
rushed out as fast as they had rushed
in and for time II was in an UNI
happy state. Then came the reac-
tlon and people came slowly back real
izins that good foundation existed
