w w, Booth declared that the
only way TO boost Manhattan was ON
its merits, and to tell the truth about
it.
I'VE are constantly receiving wires
and correspondence about Manhat-
tam" said he, "and We have received
stories that do not chime with con-
ditions as we know them to exist
There is no good to come from send.
ing out stories of $500 shipping ore,
or ore that goes thousands of dollars
to the ton, when that ore is never
shipped. We may be keeping lots OF
ore to be milled, but not that kind
of orc. We send that to the smell.
tiers. The truth is good enough for
Manhattan. | think that Round
Mountain should be included in this
proposition. She is the baby camp
of them all, but she is already pro-
ducing, and is a camp of which we
can say good things with pride to
the camp and to ourselves"
e. B. Cushman said that one of the
causes for the slowness of the camp
was that it had gone forth to the
world as a high grade shipping prop
o%sition. 1t took time to demonstrate
that it was a high grade milling
camp. He said that he and his asso-
ciates had gone into the mill build
ing proposition with their eyes open.
They had sent a carload of ore to
Denver, where it was carefully tested
by F. L. Bosqui, and Mr.. Bosqui had
given them the pleasing assurance
that the ore was free milling.
R. P. Dunlap said that Manhattan
had been proven, and that with the
completion of the mills it would be-
come a manufacturing industry, for
all that there would be to it would
be the turning out the bullion. He
believed with Mr.. Booth that the
scope of the committee should en-
brace Round Mountain. He was not
very enthusiastic on Los Angeles, for
he was at, the meeting of the new
board. and he was forced to the con-
clusion that Nevada was doing all the
buying and all the selling. At the
banquet every local speaker had a
whole lot to say about the City of
Angels, but nothing at all about Ne
vada, except to suggest that the peo-
pie from Nevada buy some of those
remote properties between Mt. Lowe
and the sea.
Mr.. Mushett spoke more kindly of
the City of Angels, and said hat he
had better luck in financing the
treasury of a company in which he
was interested. But" said he, 'the
first thing that we should do is to
talk about finances. We have got to
have a working fund for advertising
purposes, and / am ready Il sub
scribe my share now. In Mr.. Fris-
bie's report he fixes the dues at fifty
cents, but we are not going to get
far on that kind of a proposition
Chairman Branson gave a little
talk on the power Of the press, and
stated that the kind of circulation the
} newspapers could give was the very
J best. And that the best place to put
! such kind of advertising was in the
local papers. for the reason that the

While the local papers, he said, might
not have the biggest circulation in
the world, that circulation was wide

changes using its columns.
1t being understood that Messrs.
Branson and Ballet were going to
Manhattan tomorrow night, they
were instructed to get all the inform

5 pamphlet form. He said that If the
committee were to put its approval
on any property, 1t must know all
about the property. If stock were
bought in a property which was a
prospect, and the money put into the
ground, that was a legitimate enter
prise. This opened the ball in the
way of practical work, and then Mr..
Mushett came to the front again with
the proposition OF finance. He wish
ed to subscribe s25 for himself and
$25 for r. G. Moore, who could not
be present. Then he subscribed $25
for Mr.. Mcintosh, who was present,
and Jimmy Force softly injected that
the chairman had anted $25.
Mr.. Cushman thought the members
should go a little slow on the ques-
