PAY BELT AT MANHATTAN
IS GRADUALLY EXPANDING

about three weeks ago ON Bowan's
creek, Ave miles south Of old Kingston,
on the west side of upper Smoky valley.
The first find of gold was made by an
Indian, and the scene was soon livcned
up by scores Of s~tampcders from Austin,
Round Mountain, Manhattan, and the
ranches Of Smoky valley.
Baxter Springs
A strike. of rich gold ore was made
two weeks ago on the summit to the
west of Baxter springs, some three
miles from the camp. 1t Is stated that
specimens have assayed $23s in Man
haitian.
Joe Pendrick and Frank Palons, who
with Sullivan Of Goldfeld owl the
ground, made the discovery. They took
out a quantity of specimen ore which
was seen to have plenty Of gold visible
to tho naked eye.

1t is reported that the Manhattan
Consolidated will a run of
1900 tons Of ore at the plant of the
Manhattan Ore Reduction and Refining
company as soon as the cleanup is made
from the run of the Briggs Evans lease.
C. c. Boak and w. ]. Douglass, prin-
cipal owners in the Consolidated, are
expected in camp this week on business
connected with the mine.
Greatly Pleased
J. F. Parr of Alameda, CAL, has been
in camp for a few days looking over the
various properties. Mr.. Parr is asso-
ciatcd with two other gentlemen who
are cruising the Nevada deserts in
quest of "derelicts' of the period of
frenzied finance.
Mr.. Parr is a mining man Of thirty
five years experience and with asso-
ciates represent sufficient capital to
handle any property that might appeal
to them. Mr.. Parr said:
CT am well pleased with the milling
facilities in the camp and am surprised
at the number of leases working, but
must confess that l am somewhat dis
appointed at the work being done on
company account. The companies should
prosecute deep sinking on their own ac-
count and not expect leasers to open
up their properties at depth"

from 3 to 4 feet of good ore Las been
extracted. The face Of the drift is now
abort IS feet rhcad of the west end
of the stope, the vein showing over 3
feet Of excellent ore all the way, thus
ensuring a fine block of ore to be taken
out as the stope is carried westward.
Midway
There is no change to report in the
workings of this company this week,
the usual advancement being made on
the different levels. Two 50-ton ears
of ore were sent to the Belmont mill at
Millers this week.
Jim Butler
Development work is now being
pushed from both the Wandering Boy
and Stone Cabin shafts on this com
pany's property, and good headway is
being made. The pipe line has beer
completed ebtween the two shafts and
the Wandering Boy compressor is fur
nishing the air to run the drills being
worked in the levels from the stone
Cabin shaft. On the 2O0-foot level OF

worked through the Wandering Boy
shaft. the east and west drifts have
been extended along the vein, the face
Of the east drift showing 3 feet of good
grade sulphide milling ore.
Tonopah Co.
The work of sending the three-com'
partment Mizpah shaft from the 300
foot level down to the 1,300-foot point
is progressing very favorably, the bot
tom of the shaft being now down 914
feet. the formation being cut so far be
ing rhyolite dacite. When the shaft
has been sunk the required depth ex'
~tensive prospecting will be lone and
the ground thoroughly proven from
700 to 800 feet below the present scene
of operations.
The report from the mill shows that
an average of 95 of the 100 stamps has
been dropping continuously during the
past week, crushing 1890 ons of ore,
of an average value of $21 per ton. The
bullion shipment consisted of So bars
of bullion, weighing " pounds each AMI
valued at 1915 per bar, together with
AZ tons of concentrates, valued at $4lo
a ton, making a total bullion shipment
of $7l,Ss0. An average extraction OF
SO per cent is recorded.
Montana
While there is nothing of an unusual
nature to report from the Montana this
week, the work being done is con
stantly adding to the tonnage of Tho
mine and placing that property in an
excellent condition for future extrac
ton. The ore bodies on the different
levels are looking exceptionally wei
and the regular amount of ore is being
sent to the mill. Considerable work is
being done in running crosscuts to con
meet with bodies of ore which have beer
discovered and opened up on Other
level, and the mine is being put in ex
c%ellent shape.

In the northern rhyolite and por-
phyry belt increased interest is shown
daily. Old timers are saying, 81 al
ways said that was a rich country and
the source Of the naturalization of the

statements, says the Manhattan Mail.
On the extreme east Frank Panion
has opened up at a depth of IS feet a
body Of ore that entirely fills. the shaft,
and excluding the rich s~tringcrs aver

phyretic quartz rich in hematite. On
the hanging wall is a tale seam that is
heavily stained with iron and through
which is found small pieces of quartz
which give good paintings
The next property west Of the Paaion
ground is the Gold Fox claim under
bond to the Maris-Jayne company on
which they are sinking a shaft and are
down about 20 feet. The shaft is being
sunk on the Panion ledge and from the
surface they followed a lead from 4 to
10 inches wide rich in hematite and
which yielded numerous pieces of speci'
men rock.
Mustang
The work of prosecuting in the Mus
tang is being continued daily. The cut
is now in a distance Of about 30 feet
from the 300-foot level and it is be
lieved that the rich ledge encountered
at the 200 point will be reached within
a week.
At the 2O0-foot level the miners are
breaking down and taking out the ere
and have now on the dump 80 tons OF
ore that will average about $35 per ton
Thelma
Frank p. Davis and J.. c. Humphrey
have been given leases on the Thelms
ground. Davis started work last weel
and Humphrey will begin operations al
soon as he returns from the coast. They
have equally good showings as at tho
main company workings and will sacl
the high grade silver ore from the sur
face.

The season has beer backward fol-
dry-washing, but the last few days OF
warm sunshine has stimulated activity
along that line. j. b. Giffen, the orig

The total output Of the Tonopah
mines was $3.50 tons, Of an estimated
value of slo7,4oo.
West End
As work progresses, the strike of rich
ore in the new shaft Of the West n
Consolidated is getting bigger and big
ger. The shaft has now penetrated the
sulphide ore body for about IL feet,
and there is no sign of it quitting, the
bottom showing ore the full width. The
extent OF this fne ore shoot will not be
known until development work upon 1t
has proven its size, but from all APP
-pearances il promises TO be one of the
best yet found in the camp. After sink
ing the shaft about 5 feet further q
station will be cut and a north drift
started on the ore. 1t was first intended
To run n north crosscut to connect with
the west drift from the old shaft, but
since the discovery was made, the plans
have been changed, and as the ore runs
in the direction they wan to go, a drift
will be sent along the ore, and the de-
sired connection made. For the past IL
feet in the shaft everything broken
will sack, and would make one of the
richest unsortea shipments ever made
from the district. The company has
now opened up good sulphide ore at in
t~ervals for over 1000 feet, and some ex-
cellent rock is exposed within 100 feet
of the old Ohio ground, which now be-
longs to the West End. From present
appearances, the discoveries made in
the westerly workings of both the West
Err \ nd MacNamara companies, augur
well for the future of the Ohio ground,
and seem to prove that all work pre-
viously done by the old Ohio company
had been underneath the ore.
Tonopah Ex.
Operations in this mine continue to
be confined to the $50 and 6OO-foot
levels. where the work Of developing
up the ore bodies is being pushed as
fast as possible. Stopping from the 800
foot level continues on the rich vein en-
countered some time ago and the back
Of the stope shows the vein to be as
good as ever. On the 600-foot level
the east and west drifts have been adj
vaneed along the ledge. The face OF
the west drift last week showed the
vein to be somewhat broken up and
carrying low values, but this week there
is quite an improvement, the quartz
carrying more values.
MacNamara
The work this week in the Mac
Namara shows no particular change in
the body of rich ore encountered about
two weeks ago. The west drift on the
vein has been pushed along about
feet and the face shows the ledge to be
strong and rich, fully 8 feet of high
grade ore appearing on this foot wall
The stope on the vei.i has been carried
up 40 feet for i length Of 40 feet, aud

IMPORTANT FIND AT TONOPAH

The Miner is pleased to report this
week the most important piece of news,
from a mining standpoint, that has
been published since the earlier days Of
the camp, and which means much for
the future welfare of some of its mines,
especially the Belmont. Heretofore the
veins developed by the different com
panies operating on eddie mountain
have been cut of on their easterly trend
by the Mizpah fault, which has a north
westerly strike and a notheasterly dip,
and it has been often predicted by
prominent mining engineers that no ore
would be found north of this fault. For
some time the Belmont company has
been doing extensive prospecting work
on the 1,000-foot level, the principal
part of which has been the driving of
the main east crosscut to open up that
section of the company's ground. Some
time ago the direction of this erosscut
was changed to a northeasterly course,
and no time was lost in pushing this
work forward. For weeks this crosseut
has been cutting through the Mizpah
fault, which consists of a mass of
country rock and quartz, from $50 to
200 feet wide, and the company has
been rewarded by making the discovery
| that ara oxtStc north Of fha fault I'm
the hanging wall, or north side Of the
fault, about 3 feet of drag quartz was
encountered, and drifts have been run
in both directions from the crosscut on
this quartz, which has shown punches
of high grade ore all along the drifts.
In the meantime the main crosscut was
sent ahead, and for the past 30 feet has
been cutting stringers Of ore, carrying
good values. These stringers have in
creased in number and size within the
past week, and last Wednesday the
crosscut intersected a stringer fully 10
inches wide, which is high grade sui
phide ore. This stringer, or small vein,
was cut fully so feet north of the north
side of the Mizpah fault, and is the
most important discovery that has been
made in camp for many, many months.
It is not known at this writing just
how great this discovery will prove,
but the fact remains that the Belmont
company has succeeded in finding pay
ore in territory which experts predicted
would be barren, and energies in that
section of ground have been increased,
with every promise that sensational de-
velopments will follow. The value OF
this discovery to the Belmont COM
pany cannot be estimated, as it owns an
immense territory in that direction
which has yet to be opened up. The
formation in which the discovery was
made is thought to be early andesite.
