The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-06-30

history of Manhattan has mining activ-
ity been as pronounced as at present.
and never before were the mines and
prospects being developed as advan-
tageouslv. New and extensive ore
bodies carrying high grade shipping and
milling values are frequently e%ncount-
cred and the vein intrusions are showing
strong and we'll defined. AS depth Is
gained the lodges are maintaining their
gold grade and are making into sui
phides. a condition which proves beyond
question the permanency of both the
veins and their precious values.
Operations at the Pine Nut mine are
being facilitated by means of a 5O-horse
power steam hoist, the Manhattan Con-
solidated people are utilizing one OF ike
capacity. with steam as the motive
power, and at the Stray Dog a 2O-horse
power steam plant is in operation. The
Jumping Jack management is furthering
development by means of a 15-horse
power gasoline hoist, a gasoline MOIST
of 25-horse power supplies motive power
at the Indian Camp, two 15-horse power
gasoline hoists are being utilized at the
Union No. 9 and gasoline hoists, each
of 15-horse power, are in use on the
Little Grey and Mustang. There are
likewise I'm transit to the camp gasoline
hoists of 15-horse power each for the
following named properties. The Man
haitian Standard, Seyler-Humphrey,
Manhattan Buffalo, Stray Dog, Consol-
idated Extension, Manhattan Mining and
wolftone. a gasoline hoist of 25-horse
power has also been ordered for the
Sphinx estate in the Round Mountain
section.
MANY HOSTS ON GROUND
A comparison of the number of hoist
ing plants in operation in Manhattan
within six months after the first dis
covery of gold with the number operated
at Goldheld during the first year of it's
existence is somewhat interesting as 1t
apparently indicates that the mining
men of this section are more sanguine
of future success than were those or
Goldfeld in the early days of that thriv-
ing mining metropolis.
six months after birth Manhattan
has ten hosting plants in operation with
eight others in transit to the camp, In
Guiding the one billed to the Sphinx
property at Round Mountain. The rec
ord is one of which the residents of this
ulStII1l 0di "0AA " $500
oughly demonstrates the confidence
mining men in general have in this
field.
MILL FOR MANHATTAN
The camp is likewise to be supplied
with milling facilities aside from the
plants which several mining companies
contemplate erecting for the treatment
of their ores. The mill is to be equipped
with Elspass rolls having a capacity
equal to fifteen stamps, and will treat
40 tons of ore each "a hours. Manhat-
tan capital is behind the enterprise and
an order for the machinery has been
closed with the representative of the
Fairbanks, Morse company. A site has
been secured in the vicinity of Central
and by the time the machinery arrives
everything will be in readiness
A number of the mining companies
are also preparing to establish milling
plants at their properties, included in
the list being the Yellow Horse, Pine
Nut, Buffalo, Consolidated Extension
and Little Grey. The latter company's
plant is to have a stamp capacity suf-
fcient to handle it's own and a large
custom tonnage
HIGH GRADE SHIPMENT
Shipments of high grade went out this
week from the estates of the Manhattan
Joker and Manhattan Jumping Jack
Mining companies. The consignment
from the first mentioned property con-
sisted of eight tons of ore having a gold
value of $500 the ton, or a total value
of $4,000, and the Jumping Jack con-
signment of a carload lot of $275 per
ton rock. Both acreages demonstrated
the worth of their precious metal values
some time since and are now in line for
large and regular shipments.
The company shaft on the Jumping
ZACH is approaching a depth of $50 feet
where it will tap the main ore body on
its dip. Gold values have continually
increased from grass roots down and
when the permanent ore zone is explored
sure to be opened up.
On the Golden lease the miners are
working in a large body of high grade
shipping ore at a depth of 40 feet ami
sack samples have demonstrated its
value at $275 in gold to the ton. This
class of quartz has prevailed for some
time and prior to this weeks shipments
one hundred tons of the sacked product
was piled at surface.
PINE NUT
An energetic and systematic policy of
development has always characterized
the management of the Pine Nut COM
pany and has resulted in the opening up
of a property which beyond question
will ultimately rank with the big bo-
nanzas of the Sage Brush state.
The acreage is located east of and adj
joins the great Consolidated mine and
carries 1900 feet of the rich Consol-
idated vein system on which over $2,-
600. 900 worth of ore is blocked out. The
drift from Consolidated shaft has been
extended to the dividing line of the two
properties. thereby absolutely proving
the continuation of the ore body into
Pine Nut acreage. Several hundred feet
east of the dividing line the same vein
system has been opened up by the Pine
Nut people by means Of a shaft IS
feet deep and that the lodges and their
gold values will be permanent Is evil
