MANHATTAN IS
GRINDING AWAY
j. w. LANGLEY RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO NORTHERN CAMP
HIGHLY PLEASED.

THE mills of the gods may grind
slowly in Manhattan, put they are
grinding exceedingly fine" said j. w
Langley. who returned last evening
from a three days inspection of that
district Il had heard so much about
the camp being a dead one that it
was an agreeable surprise to see a
goodly number of men carrying din
ner pals, and after getting over the
district quite thoroughly, l wish to
go on record as saying that Manhat-
tan will disappoint the kickers yet
and within another year firmly be-
lieve it will be one of the largest
producers of the royal metal in the
entire State of Nevada.
THE Peterson mill is running
twenty-four hours each day and with
in a stones throw is heard the
Thanksgiving, Breyfogle and Mus
tang hoists, All three properties are
being worked two shifts out of each
twenty-four hours and | fail to see
where there is anything in that Sec
tion of the district that would show
show encouragement either among
the owners of those properties or the
residents of Manhattan. The Thanks
giving expects to resume sinking the
main shaft about the first of the
month and it will be continued to the
600-foot level before cutting a sta
tion. An upraise has just been made
from the $50 level to the 235, ana
the extraction of ore is going on and
sample lot of 200 tons is being
hauled to the Chapman mill. Or
the 350-foot level drifting towards
the Breyfogle is being pushed and il
is expected to extend same to the
end line of tn Breyfogle ground
where connections will be made fol-
better air. George Holesworth ant
associates have recently taken a leas,
on the main shaft of the Breyfoglt
and are sinking the shaft to the 800
foot level, where a drift will be ruI
easterly to connect with the Thanks
giving. In the south crosscut from
the 200 level a number of stringer!
which are apparently shoots from thu
Thanksgiving vein, have been opene,
and it is expected that about thirt,
feet more will be required before en-
countering it. These stringers ASA.
from IS to SIG. The present leaser
on the Mustang report that the re
cent strike which was made in
drift from the main shaft, is proving
up satisfactorily, and within a shor
time they expect to commerce sink
ing the shaft $50 feet deeper. Witt
the work now going on in the vicin
ity of Mustang Hill, there is no cues
tion but good results will be forth
coming in the near future. Acros
the canyon, Charles Cole is operating
! lease of placer ground on the Littl
Grey. Two sluices are being operate
and the entire hill has been provel
to carry pay dirt. Mr.. Cole is san
guine that the summers work will
pan out big and even though Their
are a few knockers left in the camT
there is no one but says Cole has
bonanza, An adjoining lease, whic
gives promise of being equally a
! good, is operated by Mr.. McDon

/, The first stamp mill in the dis
trict, which was built at Contra
three years ago. has been purchase
, by M. T. Michaels, who is an oil
timer from Colorado, and will be er
larged to ten-stamp capacity MI
Michaels expects to be ready fo
business in less than so days an
also promises to put in a treatmen
that will save values and at tn
same time be able to give a To-
treatment charge. Several partie
, have been in the district for a nun
!. Der of days, and while not sayin
much, 1t has leaked out that the
represent large Eastern capitalist
