Prof. Jenny. the famous geologist. who
spent a number Of months in Manhattan
last spring and summer. visited the
camp last Monday as the guest of Presi-
dent Stanley Of the Thanksgiving Min
ing company. says the Manhattan. Mall.
While his time was limited. Prof.
Jenny took occasion TO note the remark
able progress that had been made in the
mines of Manhattan since last he was
here. He made an examination of the
Thanksgiving, and his trained Judgment
approves all that has been said of the
possibilities of that property and others
In the same vicinity.
To a Mail representative Prof. Jenny
said: "You know we would not have
come out to Manhattan had there not
been something important to see. We
saw It. 1t was the Thanksgiving.
You know ! have always loitered
around that section OF the camp down
there, and l think / will be found in
hat vicinity upon my every visit until
one day they will all be dividend payer
Indeed / am convinced that deep
mining will prove wonderful things in
that part of your camp where we find
the Wolftone, the Mustang, Broncho.
Little Grey, Thanksgiving. Breyfogle,
Mustang Extension and wolftone Exten-
sion. 1t will pay to do deep work there.
In fact. If / were in a prophetic mood /
would say that there is a square mile
of ground. including the Joker and prop
critics to the west. that will with work
unfold riches"
Prof. Jenny was pleased with the rich
showing in the Thanksgiving. as the re-
suits there prove the value of his oft
repeated advice of a year ago. the burden
of which was TO sink deep as quickly
as possible.
WEALTH OF ORE IN MUSTANG
The crosscut of the Mustang ore bod
les at the 260-foot level is disclosing
a of ore. This north cut has
now been run over 80 feet and 40 fee.
is in ledge matter. The character of the
ores at this level Is much the same as
was found at the 200, except that sui
phides are coming in heavier. The char
acter of the main body of this immense
ledge Is free milling oxides. with paral-
lei bodies 2 to 4 feet in width of high
grade. No section of this crosscut has
been through ore that will average less
than $40 to the ton.
Last Saturday the breast of the drift
was in 4 feet on a new character of ore,
identical with the black ~sulphides from
the Thanksgiving, and running over 800
to the ton. 1t is believed that with
more depth the Mustang veins in their
entirety will change to sulphide ore and
show an increase of values equal to those
on the Thanksgiving, which have been
opened less thar 100 feet distant.
BIo FoU1 TO DEVELOP
Development work was resumed last
week on the property of the Big Four
Mining company. The holdings of the
Big Four are situated on Golden hill adj
joining the Mayfiower and Gold Wedge.
The workings consist of a tunnel al
ready driven into the hill a distance of
200 feet. This will be extended until the
Big -Four dyke is penetrated. Drifts
will then be run each way until an ore
shoot. on which 1t will be desirable to
sink a deep shaft, is opened up.
The Big Four dyke crops the entire
length of the property, and it was on
this lode. in the early days of the camp.
that high grade and speciment ore were
taken out by leasers.
The Big Four is one of s. E. vermil-
yeas promotions. With him are assoc
icated o. F. Matkin. j. L. Lindsay and
other Goldfield capitalists.
