roots. The entire ledge carries a gooo
grade of mill rock and along the foot
wall Manager Campbell opened up a
12-inch streak last Saturday which
holds an average gold content of $50
the tor. Future development Is to be
facilitated by a 15-horse power hosting
plant which is now at Tonopah. AS
soon as 1t is installed exploration or the
acreage is to be taken up on a more ex-
tensive scale and to that end the work.
ing force will be increased. Even the
surface dirt on the Indian Camp holds
a generous quota of precious metal and
Mr.. Campbell now has under considera-
ton two applications for leases on the
gulches that traverse the claim. the in
tention of the applicants being to work
the ground by the medium OF dry
washers. AS some sections of the acre.
age carry SIS worth of gold to the cubic
yard at surface 1t is very apparent that
the prospective lessees will make money
out of their venture once they get to
work.
oEoRoEY ExTENsIoN
The Manhattan Georgey Extension
Mining has been incorporated,
and L. w. Spear of No. III Broadway
New York City. one of the most sue
cessful of New York's mining stock
brokers, will have the exclusive hand-
ling of this property. The company's
holdings adjoin the famous Georgey
group at Central, and nave an extension
of the same big ledge which crosses
that wonderful property. Active devel-
opment work will at once be started on
the Oregon fraction and the ore bodies

PAYMAsTER GETS BUSY
The main working shaft of the Pay
master company is down Sc feet and
from it's bottom crosscuts are being run
out to the east and west for the pur-
pose of proving up three parallel lodges
which at surface show free gold and re-
turn liberal strings of colors at the
pan. In the east cut the breast of the
drift is just entering a very promising
vein which pans and assays well. AS
yet work has not proceeded sufficiently
to determine the exa extent and value
of this ore body. but that 1t is one of
unquestioned merit is evidenced by the
assay sheets.
In No. 2 shaft a strong ledge is being
followed and at a depth of 20 feet a
crosscut is being run out to the north.
The rock shows some gold in the free
and two feet of 1t returns high grade
mill values. The west cut in the main
shaft is in about so feet and within IL
feet more of drifting will tap a 4-foot
ledge which at surface shows free gold.
THE STRAY DOG
Development of the Stray Dog claim
of the Manhatt Stray Dog Mining
company is being furthered under the
supervision of J. D.. Campbell, the man
who mined a half million dollars worth
of ore in one hundred days from the
famous Reilly lease or the Florence
estate at Goldfeld. Campbell expects
to record another success on the Stray
Dog, and the mineral indications are
certainly in his favor. At a depth of
1876 feet drifts are being extended to the
north and south on a well defined ledge
the entire breadth of which carries an
excellent grade of mill ore. In the
north drift the miners are working in
5 feet of 500 rock. and in the south
drift 16 inches of the vein matter holds
an average gold grade of 1925 per ton.
MANHATTAN CALUMET
The Manhattan Calume Mining COM
pany, owning the Flying Cloud, Snow
Man and Eva Fraction, an estate lying
on Litigation hill between Contention
hill and the Consolidated, has a crew of
men prospecting the ground to find a
suitable spot to sink the shaft contem-
plated. The claims above mentioned
were owned by Dan Mcnamara, the
well known prospector and mining man
who is at present involved in litigation
with the Dexter company over the own
ership of the rich Contention hill prop
critics.
The Calumet company has very fiat
tering showings on the surface. The
ledge is 2h feet wide and average as
says across the ledge give values of
seas and $31.S4 at a depth of 6 feet.
MANHATTAN DIVIDEND
The Manhattan Dividend Mining COM
pany has placed three men at work on
it's property. This marks the beginning
of active development. O~utcroppings
on the ledge show it to be 20 feet wide
on the surface and assays $3.50 to the
ton. The company is in the hands of
such well known mining men as George
Wingfie1d. H. T. Bragdon, Gus Eisen
and George Fl. Lewis.
There is $4,000 in the treasury and
as yet not a share of stock has been
sold, which is a commendable feature
of the organization.
ZANzIBAR
The Zanzibar Mining company's prop
erty, consisting of four claims adjoin-
ing the Pine Nut on the east is now in
fifty feet with three shifts working. The
road leading to the mine will shortly be
completed having been under construc-
ton the past few weeks.
The management states that the tun-
mel will be driven a distance of $50 feet
where it is expected to tap the ledge at
a depth of 800 feet. Between the 300
foot level and the surface are two lodges
which will be cut during the progress
of the tunnel
GEoRGEY GROUP
The drift from the company shaft on
the Georgey group of the claims of the
Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines is now In
Al feet, and the entire face of the drift
is in ore of a high milling grade. The
