PUSHING WORK
AT MANHATTAN
ORE BODY OPENED UP ON CON.
SOLIDATED AT DEPTH OF
FIVE FEET.

fetal prospecting of a ledge outcrop
~travesing Consolidated acreage to
the west Of the main working shaft
has resulted in the opening up of a
rich ore body at the nominal depth
OF five feet. In character the ore re-
sembles that being mined by O'Brien,
Dudley and La Lime on Litigation
hill and gives promise of making into
a bonanza at depth. The body Of
ore. a blue lime quartz, is very hard
and compact except where oxidized,
seams of the latter carrying a deli
cate tracery of wire gold. The closer
grained portions of the quartz yield
a gold content as high as 500 the
ton; and from the free gold showing
streaks almost any kind of high
grade assay return Is possible. 1t is
stated that the Consolidated company
will carry on mine development on
a more extended scale than at pres
ent upon the completion OF the plant
of the Manhattan Ore Reduction and
Refining company, as a market will
then be afforded for the thousands of
tons of milling ore the company has
on dump and is reported to have
blocked out in mine workings.
CUTTING LEVEL.

at a depth of 210 feet in the Brey-
fogle shaft. Crosscuts are to be run
north and south at this point and are
expected to open up a continuation
of the rich Thanksgiving vein system.
While exploring ground at this depth
sinking is also to be in vogue and is
to continue until a depth of 600 feet
is gained-the estimated permanent
sulphide ore zone John Richey. the
new superintendent, is now In
charge. MI. Rlchey was formerly SUI
perintendent of the Mizpah mine at
Tonopah.
WORK RESUMED.
Work was resumed on Wolftone
Extension ground this week. Lack
of timber for shaft use was the cause
of the temporary shut down. 1t is
the intention OF the management to
equip the shaft with a powerful
hosting plant in the near future
