Manhattan Consolidated has at
least 100000 tons of ore blocked
out, and this is a conservative esti-
mate. The ore at low estimate, will
| go $40 ton, and there are streaks
of high grade running through it
besides. The mine is shipping to the
mill, and it is a very encouraging
sight to see the big teams going
! down the main street loaded with
ore. Bob Patterson has taken a
lease on the Granny, and had been
working on it only four days when
he struck shipping ore The Watson
lease on the Union No. A, adjoining
the Cram-La Lime lease has struck
the same character of ore that is in
the other lease, and has got water
Across the hill is the Blackboard
and the Seyler-Humphrey properties.
There are tremendous outcrops there
and all they want is to acquire depth.
Still further down is the Chipmonk
and the Little Grey. On the latter,
| Charlie Cole is doing his placer work.
He makes a cleanup every day and
the rifles are filled with gold. This
is not hearsay, for have seen it my
self. Then go across to the Cres-
cent, Whale, Gold Wedge and Stray
Dog, the Indian Camp and Verde, all
with the same ore. You can get
paintings from any of the dumps A
little further along is the Gold
Crater, with its big hoist. The prop
erty has been opened in several
places, the shafts being from twenty
to sixty feet in depth.
Across the road from Little Grey
is Mustang hill, where is located the
Mustang, Broncho, Breyfogle, Forked
Stick, Thanksgiving, Wolftone and
Rocklin. Most of these properties
are equipped with hoists, and all
have similar showings to the prop
critics above. The dumps resemble
those OF Tonopah. In every instance
1t is demonstrated that all that is
required is depth for proper develop
ment, and with depth will come
permanency.
To the northeast, is the Turn
back, Isabella, Manhattan HILL on
which latter we have Just completed
the assessment work, and the indica-
lions are that we are getting into the
solid slate and lime formation in
which the other successful properties
have struck the ore. Adjoining us
on the southwest is the Maybe So, on
which they have sunk thousand
feet, with a whim, but the hoist and
the pump have been already ordered
The Wolf mill on Mustang hill is
dropping stamps continually on ore
from the Manhattan Consolidated;
and on the other side of the road the
Lennon mill is approaching compile
ton. Then there is another mill, a
Huntington, being put up on the
Ionopah road, just before you get
into Manhattan. There is no doubt
that the successful operation of the
one mill will cause other mills to be
put up, and that will be the saliva
ton of Manhattan. There is a
greater chance now in Manhattan
than in any other camp in the state. ),
