MUSTANG HILL
COMING TO Front
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS PROM
ISE TO BRING SECTION TO
THE FRONT
Especial Correspondence

MANHATTAN, Jan. S-The recent
developments on the Mustang Hill
at Manhattan are again bringing that
particular section of the camp into
something of the same prominence
that it occupied on the 18th of De-
cember. 1905, when the discoveries
of high-grade mineral there were
the signals for such a rush to a new
mining camp, as had never before
been seen within the bounds of the
State.
What we're then mere surface dis
coveries of exceedingly great prom
Use, have now been developed to such
an extent that the more important
properties on the hill have been dem
onstrated to be mines of still greater
promise than the first prospects.
The mineralized zone which forms
the mountain has been demonstrated
on the East end, in the property of
the Broncho Company. in a much
more satisfactory manner than was
anticipated when work was common
ced on the estate, and the adjoining
Mustang Company, having recently
resumed the work in the main shaft,
has encountered a vein of such di-
mansions and value that the property
has been lifted entirely out of the
doubtful class, with riches as yet
comparatively unknown.
Still more marvellous have been
the developments on the Mustang
Extension, the property of witch adj
joins the Mustang on the West and
takes in the ground from the crest
of the hill on the north to the higf
ground on the Wolfetone and Little
Grey hills on the south.
Shaft No. / Of the Mustang Exten.
sion property produced ONE phe.
nomenal high grade in the form d
the most wonderful nuggets ant
leaves Of gold that have ever beer
taken to Tonopah, and although l
was feared that they came from {
comparatively small superficial de
post of the yellow metal, the re
suits Of the work in that shaft hay,
within the last few days, demon
strated that the high grade ore tina
forms In one wall of a vein of partl,
milling and partly shipping ore, ocn
tinues to an indefinite depth, AM
the specimens Of mixed quartz am
gold. which are brought from Tn
deeper workings Of the company
would engender Manhattan enthu
siasm in the most skeptical.
The new developments have take
Mace below the oxidized zone, in
porphyry that IS heavily ~impregnate
with sulphides, and in its character
istics resembles very closely tina
which Is 20 seen on the dumps i
Tonopah.
Having encountered the Littl
Grey ledge in the other shaft OF tn
Mustang Extension, during the sun
mer, this property has as promisin
features as had any property !
Manhattan, at the same state of de
yelopment. and the unobtrusive, syI
tematic development of the worl
which has been pursued on this prof.
erty every day since its organization
meeting its payroll to a large degre
with bullion from the mine, is a r.
liable index to the character of u
management.
Still further TO the West, on Il
very extremity of the Mustang Hi
and taking in the low ground at Il
foot OF the Wolfetone, lies the Ma
haitian Rainbow, on which develo
ment work has been resumed with
the past few days, in a shaft whi'
was being dug at the time OF Il
San Francisco disaster, and in viii,
there was a very fair showing.
With the resumption of work
tie Rainbow and the beginning
the development of the adjoinii
Wolfetone Extension, the last link
formed in a complete chain of wor
ing properties from Central on {
West to East Manhattan, across I
mountains, and that feature % {
camps life is merely a f%orerunner
the excitement bound to recur with
the next few weeks, whsl the eytc
Il the discoveries in the camp !
