MIR. Powell informs your correspond
ent that the entire bulk of this ore is
showing at or above the 20o-foot level
and that the dip of the ledge is such
that the drifts in the lower level give
the $50 feet of backs. or
stopping ground. From top to bottom of
the ore will average between s1e and
s13 in gold the ton. OF the ore blocked
out 10000 tons will run better than $50
the ton. and one half of this will aver
age better thar 800 gold the ton.
The Stray Dog. Indian Camp. Wolf
tone. Independence Consolidated. Little
Gray, Union No. .. Gold Wedge, Cres-
cent and other properties in the Gold
Hill section have large bodies of milling
ore on dump and blocked out. and in
several instances high grade shipping
quartz is being mined. At the Mustang
two lodges carrying free gold specimen
ore and averaging better than s10o the
ton their full widths are being developed
at a depth of 210 feet. The Broncho
has a considerable tonnage OF mill rock
blocked out at the 100 and 20O-foot

of. An enormous ledge of milling ore
has been developed on Manhattan Com
bination ground from surface to nominal
depth and is still undergoing explora-
ton.
The Tip Top and April Fool claims of
the Seyler-Humphrey compan have a
fair showing of milling and higher
grade ore. The Manhattan Standard is

$40 ore are on the dump at the Consol-
idated Extension company. Fully that
much is blocked out in the drifts from
the winze at the tunnel level. A por-
ton of the latter has an average grade
of close to 800 the ton. The Pine Nut
management is developing a large ledge
at a depth of 200 feet that carries a
streak of high grade. and that breaks"
an average of s12 the ton. The Zanzi-
bar people are mining shipping and
milling quartz from the extension of the
big Consolidated contact. The Manhat-
tan Virginia people have caught the ex-
tension of a rich ledge making in from
the Toothpick Fraction claim of the
Consolidated Extension company.
Milling values are showing in the
Hindocraft tunnel. Sixty dollar per
ton ore has been encountered in the tun-
mel of the Manhattan Mammoth com
pany. At nominal depth the otero ledge
carries a streak of 1900 per ton quartz
and is shipping ore in its entirety. AS
says as high as $3.50 in gold the ton are
being secured in the face of the drift
being extended along the ledge in the
Kismet at a depth of 25 feet. The en-
tire vein so far as p~rospected yields a
commercial grade of milling ore. The
Buffalo at East Manhattan has on
siderable tonnage of mill rock blocked
out and On dump. The Butler estate at
North Manhattan is traversed by a
series of lodges which yield an ore
grade from surface to depth that can
be treated with profit beneath the
stamps.
The foregoing conditions bespeak the
success of the mill project, and guar
antyManhattan's prosperity and bullion
output once the stamps begin to drop.

(From our own Representative.
Manhattan. New. March 27.-After
many vexatious delays and d~isappoint-
ments and no inconsiderable mou of
hot air talk a stamp mill is TO be
erected in Manhattan. Tangible evil
dence of the good faith of the promoters
of the enterprise Is the fact that $50. 900

Anglo-California bank. Of San Francisco.
the same to be utilized for the develop
ment of water supply. the erection of a
mill building and the first payment upon
machinery equipment. Within a few
days this money is to be transferred
from the San Francisco bank to the
Manhattan branch of the State Bank &
Trust company. The gentlemen behind
the mill project are prominently identi-
fed with the Management of the Anglo
California bank and have ample funds
with which to further the success of the
project.
Their representative in the Manhattan
field is ]. G. Sartoris OF San Francisco,
who returned from here to that city a
few days ago after making the prelim.
mary arrangements for the establish
ment of a stamp mill and cyanide plant.
While in this district Mr.. Sartoris Sc
cured AZ contracts from prominent mine
owners for the treatment of their ores
at a rate of IS per ton. the tenure of the
agreements extending for a period of one
year from the date when the stamps
first began to drop. Other contracts are
pending.
Before leaving for the coast Mr.. Sar-
toris informed your correspondent that
he anticipated having the plant in oper-
alton within 40 days. The mill is at
present at Battle Mountain and is of
forty stamp capacity. Twenty of these
stamps have never been in commission
and the other twenty were in operation
but ten days. thus presenting the anom-
ally of a brand new second hand ma
chinery equipment. The plant is now
being d%ismantled and will be trans
ported to Austin by rail and from there
to Manhattan by team as soon as the
desert trails dry out sufficiently to make
the haul possible.
The site selected for the mill is on
the acreage of the Wolftone Extension
Mining ompany located in one of the
richest portions OF the Manhattan min
ing district. and so situated that it af-
fords a down hill ore haul from all por-
tions of the camp. The mill people will
develop their water supply directly at
the site through the medium of a series
of wells, their engineers having ascer-
tanned that an extensive water flow I'M
derlies that portion of the camp.
That the promoters of the enterprise
have at their command capital sufficient
to successfully carry out their plans is
thoroughly assured. That the mines of
the Manhattan district have ore in suf-
fcient bulk to keep the stamps in con-
slant operation is equally well assured
1t is estimated that the ore tonnage on
dump and blocked out in the various
mine workings has an aggregate value
of approximately $1,000, 900. OF this
noun 81, 900. 600 worth is blocked out
in the Consolidated mine alone. The
latter figures are taken from the annual
report of Superintendent Powell of the
Consolidated mine.

BRIDGE DIRECTORS MEETSTATE PURE FOOD LAW
Stringent Law viii SO Into Effect
On January |, 1903
PENALTIES VERY SEVERE
Dealers win Be LisAie 10 Prosecution
and Heavy Fine If They sell
impure Goods.

West Virginia has a new pure food
law which goes into effect January
l. 1908 It was passed by the legis-
lature February 20. 1907. and received
the Signature Of the governor in due
course of time The law is of such a
character that 1t is important for mer
chants in all lines of business to fully
comprehend its purport before 1t be
comes operative. Ii will be necessary
for them to rid their shelves Of much
that is now displayed and sold at
good prices.
In speaking of the new law an at
torney said; 'The new statute is very
stringent and has very broad sweep.
1t gives the prosecuting attorney pow.
ers which, If exercised with modera.
ton and discretion, might cause an
noyance of the severest character to
business men.
He may take samples OF the con.
tents and the chemist of the state ag-
ricultural department must analyze
these samples and certify the result
to the prosecutor. In case adulterR-
ton is found or impurities, or IL the
contents is not just what it is repre-.
scented to be, the merchant handling
the goods, or his agent, or both, too
may be indicted and upon proper evi-
dence convicted. The prosecutor has
like powers and privileges in any lab
oratory or factory where foods, drinks
or drugs are manufactured.
West Virginia had a pure food law
previous to this act, but 1t was not sc
wide In its scope, and provided that
the merchant could not be indicted
and fined for selling impure goods un
legs he made the sale knowingly. Ir
the new law the word knowingly
has been omitted. Native product:
cannot be sold as imported goods ant
the manufac ursr cannot make rasp
berry jam from apple Feelings ant
clover or timothy seed.
Any substance mixed with food
drink, drugs or corrections, lowerini
depreciating or injur'ousl effecting il
quality strength or purity, or tn
omission of any necessary ingredient
constitute violations In other word:
acetic acid mixed with water is no
pure cider vinegar
