WATCHED THE
UPS and Downs
NOW GEORGE HOLESWoRTH can
SEE NOTHING BUT SUCCESS
FOR MANHATTAN.

4 George E. Holesworth returned
from the northern camp of Mammal
tan yesterday and in speaking of the
new developments that had occurred
since his previous visit, two weeks
ago, said:
Il have been interested in gener-
al way in the development of the
mines of this State for a great many
years, but at no time or place have |
seen the opportunities that are now
presented in Manhattan True, If
course" said he, that the district has
been laboring under disadvantages
that would almost smother the ordin-
airy bunch of people, but the gold is
there and even though the pull has
been long and very discouraging, the
day of fruition is dawning and it is
not so far in the future as many are
inclined to think 1t oftimes hap
pens" said Mr.. Holesworth, chat the
fellow who is on the ground forgets
what is presented to him from day
to day and thinks the other end of
the rainbow offers better things than
where he is, but to the man who has
watched the ups and downs of Man
haitian, it seems to me there is only
one thing ahead, and that Is success.
The period of experimental work for
! the several mills which are now run
ming has been practically passed and
they are nearer the ideal extraction
today than at any time, and with the
only a short time until the output of
gold bullion will be as steady as that
now being sent out from your great
Tonopah mills. 1t requires time to
erect mills and in such strenuous fin
ancial times as these, when every
dollar raised, almost requires drops
of hearts blood, there is not another
district in Nevada which has done as
wen as has Manhattan.
Development work in many of the
mines is being steadily prosecuted;
not word is said of what is going
on and the march of the miner and
mine owner toward the goal of gold
is as silent as that of the march of
nations army. 1t is success that
Manhattan has as the objective point
and they have. concluded that the
blare of the trumpet does not bring
it.
Around Mustang Hill and the
Little Grey, there is great activity.
The placer leasers on the Little Grev
4 are working as rapidly as man can
direct, and the pure gold is being
turned out at the rate of several hu :
dred dollars daily What the extent
Of these placer deposits are, is UNI
known; one thing has been shown
and that is, results That greater are
to follow no one questions. In our
lease on the Breyfogle, we are well
pleased with results for the short

main shaft has been sunk 25 feet

down to connect with the 335-foat
level of the Thanksgiving. At point
4 10G feet southerly from the shaft on
I the 200-foot level, we have encoun-
tered what appears to be the Thanks

bountifully sprinkled with free gold
have been raised to the surface and
the vein for width of several feet
pans the yellow metal SO plentifully.

! fully believe that depth is all that
we are after the goods" and if you
hear of Comstock in Manhattan,
just remember it is no more than We
are expecting"
A great strike was made on the
Dexter Union No. 8, on lease No. 3.
operated by Shea and associates. The
day shift uncovered a five-inch seam
of ore that runs from 50 to 81 per
pound. Three tons of the rock were
hoisted, and it is said that the rock
will run $500 to $500 per ton. The
lessee predicts that the cleanup wi
be the richest yet made in Manhar-
! tan.
