Away Beyond
His Expectations

w. II. Routledge, formerly of Ton
opah and now of Sacramento, return
ed yesterday from Manhattan, where
he and his associates are interested
in a number OF properties. Mr.. Rout-
ledge has not been la Manhattan for
several months, and was surprised at
the improvements which have taken
place in his absence.
II have always maintained that
Manhattan was a wonderful camp,
said he; but the appearance of u
today is away beyond my expecta-
tons. Think of mills in Manhattan,
something for which we were long
praying, and now there are two Of
them in actual operation and a third
nearly ready to start up. Il Is esd-
mated that the Chapman mill will be
in operation by the first of the year.
The properties in the camp are
looking good too. and the amount OF
work that is going on at this time Is
surprising. Everybody Is doing his
assessment work; nobody is taking
any chances on losing his property,
and the amount OF leasing that is
going on in the camp Is a caution.
As a matter of fact. the camp is look
ing fine from every standpoint, and
there Is no doubt in my mind that
the camp IS going to be n of the
greatest camps in the State. 1t has
all the earmarks Of 1t, and the devel-
opments every day are proving the
promises of the early days. When
the financial stringency has loosened
up and capital is again seeking i'm
vestment, just keep your eye on Man
haitian. Before the end of next year
o will see many more mills in the
camp, and there will be all kinds of
ore being crushed and the mills will
have more than they can do to handle
the output of the Mines
Mr.. Routledge will leave for Sac

New Sensation at
Manhattan

"Wil the camp of Johnnie in the
southeastern portion of Nye county,
New, develop into another Cold
feld?"
This is the question that is being
asked by mining men who are famil-
lar with both camps, and who have
inspected the wonderful discovery Of
cold as exposed in the workings of
the Johnnie mine, where, it is stated,
the wealth of a Vanderbilt is in sight
IN one breast of ore only. This strike,
according to a newcome from this
camp, is one Of the most sensational
ever made in the history Of the min
ing industry of Nevada, and it prom
ises TO be the cause of renewed in
terest in mining affairs in that por-
ton of the State.
According to advices from the
camp the find was made in a crosscut
from the shaft at the 200-foot level,
where about six feet of quartz was
encountered, which shows free gold
and which is all a pay product. After
penetrating this six feet of really fine
ore. the face of the workings entered
the treasure vault, and here is where
the excitement became intense, so
much so, in fact, that the face OF the
crosscut was planked over upon the
order of d. G. Doubleday, the largest
stakeholder in the company, and
work was suspended at the mine in
order to give the management an OPP
p~ortunity Of determining the value
and extent Of the. wonderful discov-
cry.
Clarence Greenwood of Goldfield,
one of those who were fortunate in
being able to inspect the new find, is
loud in his praise of the Johnnie
mine. In speaking of the new dis
covery he said:
II was taken down to the level by
the superintendent of the mine and
was fairly amazed with what l saw,
and while he could not show me the
face Of the erosscut, which was
planked, he showed me much of the
ore, and anon. the chunks were two
pieces as large as my fists, which
would weigh at least 5000 each in
gold. The ore that | saw from this
strike is more than SO per cent pure
yellow metal. The gold is crystalliz-
ed, and so is the quartz, making rare
and beautiful specimens. The ore
is. beyond all question, the richest |
have even seen, or expect to see.
There is probably 100000 in sight
in the face of the ~crosscut."
The Johnnie company is now en-
gagged in the building of reduction
works. and the big plant is rapidly
nearing the stage when K will be
placed In commission. In the mine
workings there is a large reserve Of
high grade milling ore blocked out
and In sight. This, In itselh is a
guarantee of the value and success
of the enterprise, and the splendid
discovery above alluded to places the
company on a plane where it can
justly claim the ownership Of one Of
the greatest mines in Nevada.
Adjoining the Johnnie Consolidat-
ed is the property of the Crown
Point Company, in which an import
ant discovery has been chronicled of
late. This discovery was made with
in $50 feet from the Johnnie boun-
Diary lines, and is almost as sensa-
tional.
