n Thanksgiving. Gold values ave
been obtained ranging from $40 to s2s4
the ton. II Is the purpose of the
management to develop at depth the
huge contact vein between schist and
porphyry in which these values are
found. As a means Of acceierating link
ing a modern steam hosting plant Is
to be Installed.
GOLD nxErs
Frank p. Davis, Manhattan pioneer
and one of the best practical miners in
the Nevada country. is preparing to
take up extensive development on the
Gold Reef group of claims located in
the central section and considered to
have great prospective value. Associated
with Mr.. Davis In the enterprise are A.
A. Stanton and J.. c Williams. The
Gold Reefs are owned in their entirety
by the gentlemen mentioned and each
is to advance his pro rata of the money
necessary for the carrying on of proper
development.
MITIGATION HILL
Development by lessees of the Turtle
Dove claim of the Dexter Union COM
pany is demonstrating that acreage to
be one OF the most valuable on Liti-
CATION hill, Ions acknowledged to be
one of the richest gold bearing sections
in the Manhattan Mining district. The
lease referred to is being operated by
the Pioneer Mining Milling and Leasing
company. in which r. A. Watson. George
Hilgerlch and ]. G. Sartorius are the
moving spirits. TIT two first mentioned
gentlemen are Manhattan pioneers.
while Sartorius was for a time the
head and front of a punitive deal having
for its alleged object the erection of a
stamp mill in Manhattan. Almost at
grassroots the lessees have opened up
pay rock and as gold values are stay
ing with the ledge with depth and devel-
opment 1t appears probable that the
lease is a winner. Five feet OF the de-
post has an average gold grade of 800
the ton and is filled with specimen
uuartz, showing much gold in the free.
from which assays running well toward
the thousand mark are secured. Abou
100 sacks of 500 ore have literally been
scooped from the outcrop of this auri-
ferrous ledge, the equalization being such
that the quartz often crumbles beneath
the efforts of the miners to the con-
sistency of a fine gravel. Planning of
dirt results in the discovery of gold
nuggets of varying size and value. The
ledge from which this ore is being ex-
tracted has a northeast and southwest
trend, or a strike directly at right an
giles with the main ledge traversing
| Litigation hill. 1t is the intention OF
the ~lessees to start a main working
shaft and to equip 1t with a plant of
machinery.
r01o BLAMCoS
Coincident with the purchase OF the
Toro Blancos group of claims by the
Tonopah Home Mining company comes
the announcement that the new owners
will at once take up development work
on an extensive scale. To that end a
force of men is to be placed at work
surface trenching. AS soon as the ledge
outcrop has been thoroughly tested a
deep main working shaft is to be sunk.
! The property adjoins the Union No. 4
claim. Manhattan Standard and Seyler-
Humphrey acreages and is considered
to be choice mining realty.
coPPE1 KING
A depth Of ITO feet has been gained
in the shaft on the Copper King Mining
company's ground. the intention being
to continue sinking until a depth OF
800 feet Is attained. At the lower level
the ledge system exposed at surface
is to be explored and tested by means
Of crosscuts and drifts. Values run
high in gold and silver.
TIE P1oPE1
Exploration at a depth Of 70 feet on
the Manhattan Proper property has re
suited in the discovery of a 2-foot ledge
carrying very encouraging gold values
The property is located southwest OF
camp and has the backing of a number
of Oakland and Alameda. California,
gentlemen. A. V. Judson is In charge
Of operations.
