GREAT IMPETUS DISPLAYED IN
MINING OPERATIONS IN
DISTRICT.
Especial to the Bonanza. }

MANHATTAN, Oct. 16.-That the
mining camp of Manhattan has taken
on renewed life and activity is evil
denced by the fact of the increased
traffic to and from the town, and the
great impetus displayed in mining
operations throughout the district.
What Manhattan needed to bring her
out of the lethargy in which she lin
gered for many months, was stamp
mills to market the product extract
ed from her numberless mines which
has heretofore lain idle for want of
treatment.
The three mills now under course
of construction in Manhattan are
making great Roadway, and the Wolf
mill will be in operation by the list
of November, barring further delays.
This will Immediately furnish mar
ket for 100 tons of milling ore per
day. Within sixty days more the
Lemon mill will add to the daily
capacity with its ten-stamp mill, to
be soon followed by the 50-ton Hunt
ington mill of Davis G Chapman.
Under the ABOVE condition of af-
fairs, the leasers are working with
renewed efforts, and are laying aside
vast quantities of high grade milling
ore awaiting the starting of the mills.
Many of the leases on the various
pfoperties are taking out shipping
