are of a portable nature and can read
lily be moved from one acreage TO an
other. They have a drilling capacity
of from 80 to 40 feet per day. according
to the nature of the formation, and II
desired a core for assaying can be sup
piled for every FIVE feet in depth. or
every foot for that matter. h drills
are operated by means of a gasoline
engine.
The engine. drills and other appar-
atus are so constructed that they can
be moved without difficulty from any
point in the district to another, and are
so simple in design that 1t requires but
a few hours time to set up the plant and
have 1t in operation, or to dismantle
and remove 1t upon the completion OF a
contract. As soon as the drill is set
up at the Wolftone Extension property,
Mr.. Torpey desires the mining men of
the camp to inspect 1t while in operation.
If they are satisfied with the manner in
which it does the work intended he will
then be prepared to close contracts for
the testing of their acreages.
TIE GOLD KING
Gold values as high as 81, 900 the ton
are secured from the big ledge cross
ing the Uno claim of the Manhattan Gold
Mining company and quite a tonnage
of ore has been sacked. A main work.
ing shaft is being sunk for the purpose
of proving up this ledge at depth and
the ore referred to was mined in sink
ing 1t to a depth Of 100 feet. From
surface to bottom of the shaft is in
ore ranging in value from $50 to $3.50
in gold the ton. Values average a trifle
better than s75 in gold the ton the
full width of the ledge at the 160-foot
level. The vein is standing almost YER
teal and shows true and strong between
well defined walls. The Uno claim adj
joins the Dexter No. Z. Yellow Horse
and Annie Laurie claims. all of which
are considered high class preferred pros
poets.
On the company's Monday Fraction
claim, adjoining the Original Manhattan
company's holdings, there is likewise an
exceptional showing at surface and NOM
inal depth. A numbe of lodges making
in from the adjoining estate can be
traced by their outcrop the full length
of the Monday Fraction. These veins
have been p~rospected to advantage at
surface and plans are now being made
to sink a main working shaft well down
in to the permanent ore zcne for the
purpose of proving them up at depth.
Judging by their gold values and gen.
eral liberalization at grass-roots it
appears probable that high grade in
place and bulk will be encounters once
the sulphide belt is tapped.
THE BELMONT
Sulphide ore is showing in the tunnel
oy means of which the estate of the
Manhattan Belmont Mining is
being prospected. The %sulphides made
their appearance at the 50-foot point in
the bore and are of a character, taken
together with other naturalization, that
the continuity of vein and values
at depth. The greater per cent of sui
phides occur along the hanging wall of
the ledge. The quartz shows some gold
in the free, but the higher precious
metal values are held in the manganese
with which the roc is filled. The
average grade of the ore is upwards of
s25 in gold the ton, with picked sam
pies frequently running as high as $3.50

THE KEwANAs
Preparatory to the beginning of an
exhaustive campaign of development
upon it's acreage in the west end of the
ray belt the Manhattan Kewanas Min
ing company has been organized and
the following named g%entlement elected
as officers and directors:
Charles r. Evans, president; A. s.
Deahl, vice-president; A. H. Smith,
treasurer; w. A.. Bender, secretary. Di-
r~ectors. George Martinsen, ". C. Miku-
lick, Charles R. Evans, A. S. Deahl,
A. H.. Smith.
Prior to the advent of the long period
of stormy weather from which Man
haitian is just emerging the estate of
the Manhattan Kewanas Mining COM
pany has been pretty thoroughly pros
pected at surface and the results were
of a highly encouraging nature. A num-
Der of well mineralized lodges that out
crop at surface were thoroughly tested
and in a number of instances prospect
shafts were sunk in the veins at a NOM
inal depth, gold values in every case
being higher in their bottoms than those
obtaining at surface.
Inc more promising is FOUND
on the Telegraph claim and it is there
that the main working shaft is to be
1t is traversed by the continue
ton of the rich Mustang ledge, the au-
thority for this statement being the
noted geologist, Professor Jenny. While
in Manhattan last summer Professor
Jenny made an examination of the Sedan
estate, and in tracing out it's vein sys-
tenn discovered that the Mustang ledge
passed across it, traversing the Tele-
graph claim of the Kewanas
en- route. The Telegraph likewise car
ries a continuation of the famous Black
Mammoth ledge from which the Man
haitian Combination people are mining
shipping grade ore. 1t crosses the Mus
tang vein at right angles and at their
points of intersection it appears prob
able that a large body of high grade ore
will be
CHIPMUNK sACKING
Ore is being sacked at the Chipmunk
mine preparatory to five ton mill run
for the purpose of establishing aver
age gold values. The sacked product at
the property is in excess of 80 tons and
is being augmented daily. If the test
at the mill near Central prove as salts
factory as Superintendent Morris McMil-
antieipates-ss0 the ton-such por-
ton of the output as can be handled
at the Central mill will go regularly
to stamp. The tonnage will necessarily
be small, however, owing to the limita-
tons of the plant-three stamps.
