From the Tonopah Daily Bonanza.
cent date says:
Judge Yolney 7. Hoggatt and Len
McGary, both heavy owners in the
West Extension mine of Bullfrog, Mr..
McGary being the general manager
of the property, came in last night
from Manhattan, and made two more
of the wildly enthusiastic mining men
on that country.
Judge Hoggatt is Interested in the
Cowboy, but he has not been in the
camp since last September, and he
declares that he v saw a showing
in any camp, and he has been in
nearly all of them, from Cripple
Greek to the Klondike; from Nome
to New Mexico and from Roaring
Gulch to Rhyolite. And the greatest
showing in Manhattan, he says, is the
Mustang.
Len McGary is known all over Me-
yada as one of the shrewdest and
most conservative of mining experts.
1t was he who stuck to the West
Extension, when everybody else got
out Of the country, unable to find
the color; and it was he who made
a mine of the West Extension. He
is as much of an enthusiast as Judge
Hoggatt on the subject of Manhat-
tan. and also on the Mustang mine.
THE Mustang" said he, sis on
the apex of something which | can't
make out, and it is hard at the pres
ent time to tell what it is; but the
indications are that the mine is one
of the greatest in the state. 1t
couldn't look better. All that Man
haitian needs just now is the our
age to go ahead as they did in Gold
field until they get the necessary
depth to make the camp just as good
as Goldfeld.
THE sulphide ore is so similar to
that of the Florence that it is inn
possible to tell them apart. Mustang
Hill, which contains the Mustang,
Thanksgiving and Breyfogle, is a new
addition to the camp. 1t was never
known before.
"The surface indications in the
early days of Manhattan, saturated
as they were with gold values, gave
the belief that there was something
far below; and since the sulphides
have been found, there is reason to
believe that there is no end to the
depth of the ore bodies. This is the
case not only in the Mustang, but
it has been proved in the Manhat.
tan Consolidated, Indian Camp and
the Annie Laurie.
I'm my opinion, Manhattan is on
the eve of one of the biggest booms
in the state.
The mines are crying for mills
but in my estimation, they do moi
need mills in Manhattan at this time
| think that they should try for deptt
since they have now got the sulphide'
below, carrying values. The money
which will be tied up in mills, Will
the high rates of freight for sup
plies and material, could be used t.
better advantage by installing pumps
and machinery to block out or,
bodies, which, without doubt, can b.
intersected at a reasonable depth.
Manhattan has great advantage
over other camps in having Woo
and water. The camp Is better sup
piled in this respect than any othe
lin the state. AS far as the investor
in Manhattan properties and thei
securities are concerned, If the.
would take the time and trouple, be
fore disposing of their holdings, t
pay a visit to the camp, and investi
gate 1t for themselves, they will b
thoroughly convinced that thei
money has been we'll placed.
II did not take any assays iron
the Mustang, but | was down in tn
mine. and broke rock out OF the fac
of the ore body at the 260-foot leve'
and | could see the free gold run
ming all through It,"
