the more prominent Mayne holdings

Bob Roy acreage carries the same
ledge from which sensational specimen
ore has been mined on the Paymaster
estate. A shaft was started on the Bob
Roy some months ago aud is now to De
continued downward to a depth of 25u
feet. At that level crossouts are to be
rsn out to the Paymaster ledge and
Drifts be sent out along its length
IN AnRDxCA1 FLAG
The American Flag estate Is located
west of the valuable Independence Con-
~solidated holdings, considered to be one
Of the most promising pieces of mining
realty in the west end of the camp. A
shaft is to be sunk Immediately to q
depth of zoo feet on this group and from
its bottom the Independence ccnsoli-
dated ledge system Is to be explored by
means of crosscuts and drifts.
I'm GOLD CREST
A length Of so feet has been gained in
the tunnel on the estate of the COLL
G; est Mining company whose holdings
adjoin those Of the Crescent-Eureka
company. II Is expected that the valu-
able Crescent-Eureka ledge will bs cut

values in tie sulphides have been en-
ccuntered ~ thin a few DAYS on Cres-
cent-Eurcks ground. a condition which

Tom Robinson. the Goldfeld broker
and mining man, who owns a controlling
interest in the Manhattan Blu Jay
estate, has a force or men engaged in
timbering the shaft. The work is about
completed and is to be followed by
further sinking. The present depth OF
the shaft is As feet with the mineral
showing a fair average. The objective
point is contact with he westward
strike of the Whale ledge.
THE YELLOW HORSE
]. Sutherland Murray returned to
camp a few days ago after a six months
absence due to i'll health. Mr.. Murray
is one of the heaviest owners of Yellow
Horse shares and since his return has
made a careful inspection of the work
ings. He expresses himself as well
.1on.l nth tho ShnWfpO and states
that the property will be equipped with
The Yellow Horse shaft is down to
water level and is well timbered. Some
very rich specimen ore has been mined
in this acreage and it is expected thai
pay rock in place will follow with de-
velopment at water level-sulphide ore
zone. A shaft house and Office building
are to be erected at once.

h Rocklin is to be equipped with a
steam hosting plant consisting OF q
8x10 double cylinder geared hoist, two
5hx3kx5 boiler feed pumps. two 60
h.-p.. return tubular boilers, with pip
ing. fittings, etc. As soon as the ma
chinery is in place the shaft is to be
sunk to a depth of 500 feet under rush
orders. Samples of ore taken from the
numerous open cuts and shafts on the
estate give assay returns as high as
1928 in gold the ton. The shale and
float rock runs 1886 per ton
THE MANHATTAN MILL
The batteries are in place at the mill
ing plant the Manhattan Ore Reduction
and Refining company is erecting on
Mustang hill. Excavation and grading
are practically completed and the ma
sonry walls finished. Work has begun
on the foundation for the heavy tube
mill, and ore bins are being constructed.
The first car load of lumber for the
mill buildings is expected to arrive this
week and as o as it reaches the site
a large force of carpenters will be put
on. Slow freight deliveries by the rail-
roads is hampering work and delaying
the completion of the plant. Somewhere
en- route to Manhattan by rail is a mis-
~cellaneous assortment of machine equip
ment for this company.
