TIE AMERICA

With a commercial grade of milling

favor of the estate of the Manhattan
America company becoming one of the
big mining propositions of the camp
during the present year. The holdings
consist of four claims and a fraction To-
Gated in the west end of the pay belt,
and traversed by a series of well miner
allied lodges. The main, or parent
ledge, crossing the acreage has been
traced at surface for a length of 5000
feet. its serrated outcrop having an
average height of IA feet.
Mr.. J. II. Shockley, one of the best
known mining engineers in the country,
In a recent report on the ore occurrences
of the great Manhattan mining district,
referred to his ledge as being one of
the largest he has ever seen during an
experience of many years in the mining
field. In connection with this ledge ii
can also be stated that Chief Justice
Bartch. of the supreme court of the
state of Utah. was in Manhattan some
time since and took 1874 samples from
the cropping of this huge contact. The
samples were later assayed in Salt Lake
City and returned an average gold grade
of x14 the ton.

Operations on the extensive estate of
the Manhattan Butler Mining mpa

are being furthered under decidedly
favorable mining conditions and the
showing is such as to warrant the early
location of pay ore In place. In cutting
a station on ledge No. 2 in tunnel No. /,
for the purpose of sinking a working
shaft, or winze, a body of milling
quartz was recently unite which
samples an average of SIS across seven
feet of vein matter. This ore body has
been drifted on for a length of 60 feet
and assays as high as $1SS in gold the
ton. Fol the entire distance the de-
posit is high class ore. all of which can
be treated under the stamps at a hand

Immediately sink a double compartment
shaft with the object of opening up This
ledge at depth. At intervals of so feet
crosscuts will be run through the vein
and drifts be extended along it's strike
for the purpose of mining and getting to
grade milling ore. This estate abounds
With timber suitable for mine usage and
fuel purposes. and a water supply ade-
quate for mill purposes can be conserved
with little difficulty and at minimum
expense. Conditions being thus favor
able a stamp mill is to be erected at the

demonstrate it's complete worth. This
