GOLDFIELD, New, Dec. 25.-The
Manhattan Mining company as to the
amount of ore in sight in its property
has Just been made by the Stray Dog
Manhattan mining company as to the
signature Of its officials and its gen
eral manager. 1t shows that during
1906, with 1864 feet of development
work, $4,000 worth of ore, assayinC
from S25 to $500 per ton, IS now
blocked out in the mine, without TAX
ing into consideration upwards of 20.
600 tons of milling ore which will
average $35 per ton, now included in
the dumps about the six shafts on this
property Neither was the tonnage Of
high-grade ore already shipped from
this property taken into consideration.
In brief, the value of the ore in sight
down TO the 200-foot level, including
the milling ore on the dumps, is up
wards of Sl,500,000.
The following table shows the ton
mage of ore of different grades in the
Stray Dog, and the value of each, to-

The rapidity with which discovery
litter discovery of Importance has been
made on the Stray Dog property during
the past 80 DAYS. is surprising. About
the middle of November. a rich streak
of ore was opened up, assaying about
$50 per ton. With each days addi
tional development of the vein, this
streak wideued and increased IN rich
ness. About December ], this vein had
widened very materially, and this
rich streak had increased from $50 to
about $3.50 per ton, With each days
marked improvement, and before the
middle of December IL was showing
values running as high as $500 across
the entire vein, which had widened TO
more than four feet. Along the hang
ing wall was about eighteen inches OF
ore which assayed from Sll00 to $1,000
per ton.
HIS SIIdN DOB vein 10 SNlIl JilHION-
ing, each days development work hav.
ing added TO the grade of the ore. and
tho richness of the contents. During
the past week President l.. NJ. Sullivan,
of the Sullivan Trust company, made a
tour of inspection of the properties in
the Manhattan district. in which he is
interested While he was at the prop
erty. ore assaying $4,000 per ton was
broken down in a winze which is being
sunk from the l35-foot level and the
vein had widened more than a foot
during the week. without locating the
foot wall. Work is now centered in
following the hanging wall down and
the indications of a material increase
in the width of the vein were most fa-
vorable.. The grade. of the ore was still
increasing. Three feet of ore assaying
S1l00 per ton was being sacked, and
the four feet of milling ore in the vein
was averaging 500 per ton, giving a
general average across the width of
the vein of sos.
The showing, then. in the Stray Dog
has demonstrated that the property is
today the second greatest mine in the
entire district, the single exception be-
ing the Indian Camp property. No
other property in the district has such
= showing Of high-grade ore in sight as
the Stray Dog, and. in order that the
true conditions Of the property might
be made known TO stockholders or other
interested parties. orders have been is
sued TO permit any visitor so desiring
10 90 through the property and measure
up the ore for himself The issuance
Of such an order is an innovation in
mining in Nevada. where to inspect
the important properties Of the district
1t has been necessary to secure permits
to inspect the properties.
Naturally, curiosity is aroused when
the statement is made that, even with
the showing in the Stray Dog, that
property is surpassed in Importance by
the Indian Camp. With upwards Of
million and half dollars worth of
ore in the Stray Dog, mine which
promises TO be even greater, is worthy
Of most serious consideration. The In
dian Camp shaft has reached depth
of 200 feet. AT the 10o-foot level,
