crowded with parents, relatives,
aud friends and no class in the
history of the school of this
city ever had a more cordial
reception than that given to
the class of twenty-four, who
completed their High school
work last Friday. The exercis-
es were interesting and the
literary part was unusually
excellent. The stage was de-
corated with the class colors-
violet and white. AS this is
the largest class that ever
graduated from our school, it
was deemed advisable to have
a class play, in which part of
= the members would take part
and the remainder deliver
orations at the commencement
exercises. The play, which
was a grand success, was given
Nay 31st. The following pro-
skram was given last Friday:

STATES

Work is to be taken up on the acreage
of the Manhattan United States Gold
Mining company as soon as weather con-
ditions will permit. and is to be pushed
with vigor from that time on. The
holdings consist of four claims located
. miles southwest of the town of Man
haitian and adjoining the estate of the
Manhattan America Gold Mining COM
pany. A tunnel has been run on the
property for a length of 10 feet and has
tapped a ledge at a depth of $50 feet
from which assays are secured as high
at $50 in gold the ton.
The main ledge crossing the ground is
a continuation of the one for which so
much is predicted on American acreag
It has an average width OF "a feet and
at surface is a commercial grade of
quartz in its entirety. One hundre and
thirty-four samples taken from this
ledge returned an average gold value of
$14 the ton, an amount that assures the
company a profit as soon as milling IA
c~ilities make it possible to get the ore
to stamp.

TIE SPHINX

THE SPHINX
That the Sphinx mine at Round
Mountain is to become one of the richest
bonanzas on the desert is daily hecom-
ing more apparent as it's ore bodies are
explored and proved up. Tale carrying
from IS to $40 worth of gold to the
pound is being mined and sacked, and a
small sacked tonnage has been con-
served which has a gold value as high
as s25 the pound. At spots free gold
shows in the tale, but as a rule 1T re-
quires q fire or chemical test to deter
mine its full value, although little diff
ficulty is experienced in separating the
richer from the poorer portions of the
streak by the differences in their
weight.
This streak of high grade tale par
allels the foot wall and varies in width
from 8 inches to n foot. 1t has been
followed for a considerable distance and
thus far no portion of it has a value be-
low mill grade, the greater portion being
bonanza grade. Nearly the entire prod
uct will sack an average of $40 the
pound and several hundred sacks of that
and higher grades are stored in the
workings under lock and key. The ledge
carrying the tale streak was opened up
in a crosscut run out at the 110-foot
level, and is the same as that developed
so successfully at the 65-foot level of
the same shaft.
Where opened at the 65-foot level the
ledge is showing better than 80 feet in
width. and is a profitable grade of mill
ing quartz its full breadth. Associated
with the ledge are three seams of high
grade, the larger having a width of s
feet. Quite a tonnage has been and is
being mined from these seams, most of
which carries sufficient gold per ton to
make it well worth sacking. A large ore
tonnage of various grades is accumulat-
ing at the Sphinx. a portion of which is
to be treated at the five-stamp mill on
Shoshone creek. In this connection it
can be stated that the plant Is to be in
creased in capacity by another 5-stamp
battery. The higher grade ores are to
be sent to smelter as soon as weather
conditions permit, the bonanza tale to
go out under guard in charge of Wells

tina a consolidation of the Pine Nut and

formation emanates from an authentic
source and is generally believed to be

VIRGINIA

Since the find of two weeks ago on
Manhattan Virginia ground, that acreage
has grown constantly in popular favor,
and it is freely predicted that it is but
a question of weeks. and not many
weeks, until pay ore in place is opened
up on the property. The old prospect
hole where the quartz ledge showing
gold in the free was found, has been
selected as the site of the main working
shaft and is to be lowered in the vein as
rapidly as geological conditions will per-
nit. The entire bottom of the shaft is
now in free milling ore that can be
handled at profit, and as fast as hoisted
