MILLS ARE GOING
UP VERY RAPIDLY
MANHATTAN WILL SOON BE
WELL SUPPLIED WITH
PLANTS.
lspeciaI to the Bonanza. !


struction of the three plants destined
for treatment of Manhattan ores
goes on apaee and barring accident
or unforeseen delay in arrival of ma
chine equipment the trio of mills
will be in operation not later than
December list. Contracts closed with
various mining companies and les
sees are guarantee for a plenteous
| grist of ore and the constant opera
ton of the plants. In fact, 1t is al
ready manifest that the limited ca
pacity of these mills will preclude
the possibility of their caring for the
mine product of the camp. However,
their erection and operation is step
in the right direction and as each
plant is being so constructed that
| further stamps or Huntingtons, as
the case may be, can be installed, it
! appears probable that 1t will not be
| long until the ore treatment require
ments. of the district are fully met.
If the. task prove too strenuous for
the mills at present undergoing con-
struction there is always room for
| Others. The ore producing capacity
of Manhattan mines demonstrated
there will be 40 lack of capital for
the building of other milling plants.
DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVE.
Now that local market for their
ores is in sight the arrangements OF
Manhattan mining companies feel
encouraged to develop their holdings
| on more extensive scale and are re-
spending with alacrity to the spur OF
inventive. From the Ralston Desert
Oh the east TO Smoky Valley on the
west and from the Timber Hin sec
ton on the south to North Manhat-
tan vein exploration progresses with
daily assiduity and under the most
encouraging mineral indications.
Signs OF the workers are everywhere
in evidence, and every man on mine
dump or in workings below is an
Optimist. He is as sure of the wealth
producing possibilities of his ground
as he is that the golden dawn will
supersede the gloom OF night. To
talk with him is to add to the store
OF your own sanguine confidence in
the camp; as you throw leg over
horse and ride away from his genial
companionship the spontaneity of his
CHEEKY, So long, good luck, pard-
ner, and influence of his all abiding
faith shorten the trail and drive the
shadow OF skepticism from the brain.
ENERGY OF LESSEE.
No better evidence than the pres
ence of lessee can be Forthcoming OF
the gold producing possibilities of a
camp. Once this pioneer developer
OF mining property takes to the hills
the district is pretty good one to
tie to. More than a half hundred
important camps owe their prosper
ity to him and date the era of their
financial advancement and mine out |
put from the day when he first began |
delying in the aurfferous hills. In
Manhattan the lessee is ubiquitous.
No portion OF the mineral zone is free |
from the visible effects of his efforts. |
made manifest in tiers of sacks laden |
with gold yielding ores or in tonnage |
OF precious metal bearing quartz |
piled on dump. He is opening IN |
pay Ores on every side, occasionally |
diversfying his finds below ground
by opening up rich placer. Concur |
rently with the dropping of stamps |
it is pleasure to announce that he |
will enter into financial reward com
mensurate with his endeavor.
COMPANY ENERGY
Mine development on company ac-
count is progressing on unprecedent-
ed scale in all portions of the dis |
trict. in addition to the properties |
which have been continuously work
ed since the inception of the camp
and which have maintained its pres
tige during days of travail and finan-
cial stringency. other properties for
many months idle are again being
developed III other instances plans
are being formulated for the re- |
juvenescenee of companies threaten
ed with premature. senile debility. I
The latter have been a drag on this
camp from the day when credulous
and gulffble public made it possible |
for the "sure-thing" men, grafters
and holdups Of the mining promotion
field to ply their nefarious games un-
der the guise of honesty and respect
ability. Not few men connected |
with earlier Manhattan mining pro-
motions would better grace the coin
vict's stripes than the broadcloth in
which they are Clad The opportun-
ity to place such behind the bars Is
not wanting if owners Of stock in
