Another great strike was made Mon
day morning ON the Dexter Union NO.
8 ground on lease No. 3, being worked
by Messrs. Davis, Shea, Stanley n
Putnam. saws the Mail. While stopping
from the 225-foot level the miners un-
covered a 5-inch seam of ore which, to
use a familiar term, was LOUSY with
gold.'' The rock will easily run from
SO to 81 per pound, and the strike is the
biggest yet made on this famous prop
erty. The rock is lime-spar, and fake
gold can be seen running through it in
pleasing quantity. Three tons of rock,
comprising that taken from the ledge
and the rich seam just broken into, were
hoisted Monday, and it is estimated 1T
will run between 81 800 and $500 per
ton. The lessees state that they VIII
have another run at the mill in a short
time and predict hat the cleanup will
be the richest yet made in Manhattan.
Eighteen men are working on this
lease.
North Side Is Rich
The interest in the rhyolite belt
northeast of Manhattan is undated,
and the high hills of the locality are
being searched for the smallest fraction.
Zabriskie and Sherman's Wild Bill
and Gold Fox groups, which are under
bond to the Maris-Jayne company, are
being opened in half a dozen different
plaees. Without exception these open
ings show specimen rock. One occur
renee. probably the most important one,
is along a dyke of greensboro, when IN
trps;on seems to form a medium for the
deposition of gold. Near the surface
the gold is matriced in hematite, but at
greater depth, as illustrated In the Sher-
man tunnel, much gold is found in the
pure quartz and soft tale, entirely lnde-
nendent of hematite. 1t develops that
this rugged rhyolite belt is a well
watered country. On the dyke men
toned above water has been developed
at the depth of ten feet.
The Maris-Jayne company proposes
to work these veins by tunnel, which
will start in the guleh near the line OF
the Neith-Sherman Rosy Hope group.
Twelve hundred feet of tunnel will give
1000 feet net depth, and it is con
6dently believed will also develop
plenty of water for milling 80 tons OF
ore daily.
Getting tho Money
One of the big things in the way OF
leases in Manhattan is the Burns-Cole
placer lease on the Little Grey claim.
4 force of men is employed in blowing
up and washing the rich dirt, which
seems to be getting richer every day
The water for the placer workings Is
bumped from the Gold Wedge shaft.
AT present the leasers are washing out
about 5000 per day in nuggets, and they
state that as soon as they can better

IN the district where pay ore is known
to exist, but for reasons best known
to themselves, the people in charge will
not work the ground and do not seem
willing to do so. However, the owners
are seemingly more inclined to listen
to the men who have ~prospected the
ground and who know where the ore is.
and to either give such men leases or
give them sufficient reasons for point
ing out the ore.
Dromedary Hump
1t is reported that between now and
the first of June work will be resumed
on the Dromedary Hump. This work
will be lone in the shaft already sunk
on the Consado Fraction. 1t is said to
be the purpose of the company to fol-
low up the lead opened up on the ad-
joining ground of the Golden Boulder.
The management of the Dromedary is
out of camp at present, but the report
is authentic. There are excellent in
dieations hat the Dromedary will make
a mine.
Almanto Ground
At about twenty feet from the sur
face, in a prospect tunnel on the AL
manic ground, a vein about six feet
wide, carrying a streak of about eigh-
teen inches from which assays running
800 and better are obtained, was
opened up a few days ago The AL
manic is in line with the rich Mizpah
ledge. This strike has given an impetus
to work on adjacent properties.
Fairview Mizpah
The blower for the Mizpah tunnel
has been delivered and is now being
placed in position. When installed, the
tunnel and workings therefrom will be
kept clear of gas and smoke, and the
work will be pushed with much greater
rapidly. Good progress has been made
on the upraise now being driven to
connect with the upper workings. Some
very good ore has been encountered in
the upraise. A hoist, to be erected on
the Bretz lease on the same property,
has been delivered, and as soon as the
blower is in place work will be begun
on the installation of the hoist. With
it in position sinking will be started ON
this lease. The showings on this lease
are excellent and those who have ex-
amined the ground say that this should
be one of the rich spots on the Mizpah.

Placer Mining

On the Monday Extension, at Central.
placer mining has been in progress for
some weeks and good clean-ups are be-
ing made by the %leasers.
Lease or the Kismet
DIR. Alex Mcintyre and Frank S.
Smith have for some time been pros
pecting the surface of the Kismet
ground, on which they have secured a
bond and lease, and will shortly start
active work on the property. There are
a number of good lodges showing on
the Kismet which pan weell. 1t is the
intention of the ~lessees to sink on one
of these leads.
Another Lease Let
Messrs. Hansen, Gitchcll, Wildey,
Human and Nelson have secured lease
No. 2 on the Toro Blanco and are run
ming a drift into the hill to tap the
main ledge on this promising ground.
Will Mill so Tons Ore
The work of stopping out the ore on
the Gitcbell-Hansen lease on the Big
Chief is progressing steadily. A run of
so tons of the ore will be made.
Will Install Air Drills
The work of drifting and sinking is
steadily progressing at the Breyfogle
under lease to Holesworth and Michaels.
The shaft is now down 217 feet, and
two drifts are being run north and
south. The north drift is in "a feet and
the south drift is in 80 feet. Bert Nc
Fadden, foreman at the mine, states
that a Burley air drill will be installed
this week and work to that end is now
in progress. The air necessary to oper-
ate the drill will be secured from the
Thanksgiving plant, located about 200
feet east of the Breyfogle shaft.
Ten miners are employed on the Brey-
fogle.
April Fool Lease
Lessees Todd, Stanley and Busby are
steadily working away at their lease or
April Fool hill and have a shaft down
30 feet. The work is nov being prose-
cuted in the northeast drift, which is
now in lis feet with splendid showings.
The drift has passed ont of the lime
shale and is now in quartz which it is
believed viii bring forth something
good in a short time.
Lease Is Milling Orc
George Moore and John Vucanovich
have lease No. 3 on Union No. 9, and on
Sunday started hauling 100 tons of the
ore to the Canyon mill that it is esti-
mated will run about $40 per ton. This
lease was formerly operated by Pete
Bart, who had considerable work 6cne
when it was abandoned. The present
~leasers have only been working about a
month and they seem to be in line to
make a good cleanup of their holdings

not for safety. He expressed the be-
