NEWS OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT

above this ledge is a profitable grade OF
mill rock. Values are improving as the
shaft Is lowered. Operations nave been
suspended at their lease on that portion
of Union No. 2 ground In conflict with
the Earl claim. The Earl Mining COM
pany. plaintiffs. recently secured an in
junction from court restraining further
development Of the ground in dispute
until such time as the case is finally ad-
Indicated. The granting of the injunc-
ton does not in any sense whatever
have bearing upon the ultimate outcome
of the suit, nor does 1t in anyway init
mate a prejudgment of the case by the
court. The foregoing statements are
made by reason of the fact that 1t has
been intimated in certain circles that
the granting of injunction was tata-
mount to a decision in favor of the
plaintiffs.
DoANE LEASE
Satisfactory progress Is being made in
deepening the shaft on the Doane lease,
located just below the block of the
Mogul company. The shaft is filled
with vein matter much of which shows
free gold. AS is the case at all the other
leases on Litigation hill, the product
carries gold in sufficient quantity to the
u " dSSuIc u treatment WIFI pTOHL
beneath the stamps. Indications favor
the location OF pay ore in place at no
great depth.
NcU1IIL LEASE
r. Wallace Mcneil. operating on
Union ground at a point up the gulch
from the Doane shaft, reports favorable
mineral Indications although 1t is but a
few lays since he began work. He states
that for tho donfh offotnoJ the Sbc upinu
in his shaft is the equal of that obtain
ing at other leases in the vicinity. He
will crosscut and drift on the ledge at
a depth of SO feet.
WILSON LEASE
Miss B. NJ. Wilson and partners are
prospecting work under very satisfac-
tory mineral conditions at their Union
holding. This block adjoins that being
worked by Rose and Nash and is
thought to carry the same ore bodies.
0oULD-RUx1kAM LEASE
Gou and Putnam are in high grade
ore at their lease on block No. 4 on
Union No. 3 claim. At a depth of but 10
feet they uncovered a 6-foot ledge
whose gold yield ranged from $50 to $40
the ton. At greater depth this ledge is
yielding high grade shipping values.
Picked samples return gold values as
high as $500 the ton. From the location
of this lease and the strikes of the ledge
it appears probable that the latter is the
continuation of the one being developed
across the gulch on the Turtle Dove
claim.
TIE VALLEY LEASE
In the crosscut run out at the 50-foot
level of the shaft on the Malley lease an
ore body has been penetrated for a
width of 20 feet without disclosing the
hanging wall. The deposit is $40 ore in
its entirety. Streaks and punches of
high grade are associated with the mill
rock.
xAM0xEY-T1x1GDxE LEASE
Eighteen inches of high grade ore is
showing in the shaft on the Langley
Trimble block. From surface to bottom
this shaft is in a commercial grade of
mill rock. The holding adjoins that of
Malley and carries the same ore body.
xzNDALL-DoU0LAs LEASE
Kendall and Douglas of Tonopah are
operating on a block of Union ground
adjoining the company workings. The
same ore body prevails in each and by
each is being worked under very encour-
aging mineral indications.
"JIlG" STAY LEASE
Jim" Shay has struck it rich at his
lease ON the Midget Fraction claim. ad-
joining the Stray Dog On Gold hill. In
the latter part of July Shay encountered
pay ore at a depth of IL feet. He began
sacking the product at hat time and
continues so to dc. Gold values con-
tinue to increase as depth is gained and
average well up to shipping mark. Much
of the quartz shows gold in the free and
by careful sorting could be raised to a
value of from $500 to $500 the ton. II
Is Shay's Intention, however, to have
the entire output treated at the local
MILL
TIE PUTMBY LEASE
Ore is being sacked with daily regu-
larity at the Putney lease on the Black
Jack claim. adjoining the May1ower
Two shifts of miners are employed. The
pay rock Is coming from the shaft and
is being mined solely during the course
OF sinking. A depth of $50 feet is the
objective point and mining energy is de-
voted to driving the shaft to that level
Exhaustive development is to follow al
that point.
UNION no. . xxAs1
Kendall and Douglas continue to mine
and sack ore having an average gold
grade OF $500 the ton at their lease or
the Union No. 9 claim of the Manhattan
Dexter The rock Is mined
from the ledge being developed at the
s150-f9ot level. A shipment of 20 tons
went out August LIST, and another is t.
follow shortly.
