LEMON MILL is
GRINDING STEADILY

The milling plant of ten stamps
and 40-ton daily capacity on Wolf
tone hill, erected by the Nevada Ore
Purchasing Company, is running full
three shifts and appears to be in
commission for steady business. The
ores now being crushed are from the
dumps on Dexter Union No. 3, and
the runs already made have given
results on the plates that are highly
gratifying both to Superintendent G..
S. Lemon of the mill and to the own
ers of the ore.
The Lemon mill, as it is called To-
cally, has been pronounced by all
who have gone through it, or who
have witnessed it in operation, to be
a model in arrangement and design,
a credit in practical construction and
a great asset for the camp of Man
haitian. The machinery, engines and
all connections stood the try-out trials
perfectly, and with a few minor adj
iustments was ready for its long task
of grinding out Manhattan gold.

MINERAL HILL.

The drift westward on the vein at
the 200-foot level on Mineral Hill Is
now 20 feet from the bottom of the
shaft. The vein is seven feet in
width and is q fine, continuous body
of quartz, improving in values with
each round of shots. The ledge mat
ter is the same in character that has
been taken from all the workings
along this main contact, from the
Thanksgiving to the Atero. The ore
pans free gold literally and is heavy
with sulphides.
This strike of a good ore body at
depth on Mineral Hill has produced a
marked effect on the market, even
though the business and commercial
world is supposed to be hopelessly
somnolent under the blanket of I'm
ancial panic. A week ago, Mineral
Hill on the board was 2 cents bid.
This week a number Of sales have
been made at 8 cents. This is moth
ing compared with the Intrinsic value
of the stock, but it shows that the
public is awake to what is going on
in Manhattan, and that there is a lot
of money laying back for its chance
to get in here right.
The local office of the Maris-Jayne
company reports the receipt of a num-
Der of orders for treasury stock since
the ledge was opened up at depth.
This company states that the sue
cess that has attended their persist
ent campaign on Mineral Hill means
a much more speedy development of
a number of other of their proper
ties. Development on the Timpahute
will be commenced soon after the
first of January. The experience of
the operators on Mineral Hill is an
exact duplicate of that gone through
on the Thanksgiving, Mustang and
Otero. 1t was sink, sink, sink, in
seasons Of good and bad repute and
in all kinds of weather. The reward
came in due time. just as it will come
to all who will diligently explore the
deeper levels along the established
ore zones in the Manhattan district

UTAHNS ARE PLAYING
IN GREAT LUCK

Two tunnels driven into the noun
tain on the property OF the Friday
Mining Company in the ~sagebrush
State have turned up some of the
best looking lead rock that has ever
reached Salt Lake from Nevada. This
company is a Salt Lake organization,
and the group owned was known
from earlier times as the Ruby Valley
property. D. C. Williams. II of the
officials of the company, returned
yesterday with some handsome sam
pies from the vein now being probed
at depth, and 1t is an ideal fiuxing
ore, carrying 6S.5 per cent lead with
good silver and gold values as well.
Mr.. Williams states that the ore
was irst encountered in tunnel No.
1, where the management drove 1G5
feet to tap it. The vein there is 16
feet in width, all being a splendid
grade of milling ore, with two and 2
half feet of high grade ore above
mentioned. Another tunnel is now
running along the same vein, the
management having drifted on It for
As feet so far, the vein showing prac-
tically the same fine values and ex.
tend as first mentioned.
The ore, states Mr.. Williams, has
been showing a decided improvement
in every way as the workings ge'
deeper into the mountain, and as thii
Improvement continually keeps up
he expects to open here in good time

producing mines of the State. HI

GOOD SHOWING
ON MINERAL HILL

The continued work in the west
drift at the 200-foot level in Mineral
Hill is proving that property to have
entered the list of important ones OF
the camp. The ledge varies in width
from five to seven feet and carries
gold values in the free.
Samples taken yesterday from the
present face of the drift prove the
values to run uniform and at a very
satisfactory high level. The two ay-
erages were $109.S2 and $2S.7O, re-
sp%ectively.
Mr.. Maris states that the policy
Of blocking ore at the 200-foot level
will be vigorously prosecuted and
that the treasury of the company is
in good condition to carry on extern
sive development plans.
The developments on this property
during the past two weeks have at
tracted a great deal of attention and
comment locally. The management
has been complimented for sticking
to a definite program that has result
ed in proving the existence on the
east side of large, uniform. highly
m%ineralized ore bodies equal to the
best of the much touted strikes on
this side.
Mineral Hill carries the proved
mineral area another step easterly
and there is no doubt but that rich
producers of gold will be opened VI
along the great lode lines even three
or four miles still further east.
Last week on the Pine Nut Exten-
sion, while doing annual work, a rich
lead was opened that greatly encour-
ages the management. The ore body
is a highly oxydized quartz and pans
gold literally. 1t is very similar II
character to Litigation Hill ores, ant
further development will be watched
with nterest.-Manhattan Mail.

STARG0 Is THE
LATEST NEW CAMP

A prominent mining man who is
just In from that portion of Nye coun-
ty lying between Hamilton and Tono-
and some fifty miles southwest
of Eureka. informs the Record that
a new mining district of remarkable
promise has just been organized. The
location of the new district is at the
head of Fish Spring valley.
Veins of lead, silver and gold of
good average value and astonishing
dimensions have been discovered.
The camp was stumbled onto a few
weeks ago by a party of experienced
prospectors, who have quietly taken
up some forty or fifty claims, and or
ganized a district of their own which
introduces itself to the public az
Stargo.
1t is worthy of note that this new
district is located ON one of the pro-
posed lines Of railway from Ely IL

BIG DEAL IN
RAWHIDE CLAIMS
TONOPAH PEOPLE PURCHASE
TIGER AND ROYAL IN
BOOM CAMP.

The first big deal in Rawhide prop
critics was consummated Monday,
and Tonopah people secured control
of the biggest thing in the new boom
camp. The latter comprises the
Tiger and the Royal claims, owned
by George X. Allen, P. M. Shelby and
J. Carlton Bray. 1t was on the Royal
claim that the biggest strike yet
made in the camp was encountered
some weeks ago, and the system Of
veins thus proved up for Rawhide.
The identity of the Tonopah par
ties is for the present a secret, but
there was a large cash consideration
paid for the control and the property
is to be incorporated. The deal was
made by A. M. Gillespie of this city,
well known as a promoter of a num-
Der of deals, and who spent three
weeks in the Regent district about a
fortnight ago. He returned from
Rawhide with an option on the prop
erty.
"Men from Fairview," said MI.
Gillespie, ''have pronounced the
property of the Tiger and Royal bet
ter at their stage of development
than the Nevada Hills was at a SINH
lar stage. These were men who were
in Fairview in the early days of the
camp and they knew what they were
talking about. There are seventeen
sets of leases being worked on the
property, many of which are in good
ore, and Others showing splendid
prospects.
1.-The real big showing of Rawhide
was recently made on the Stinson and
Granger lease of the Royal claim,
and that is the strike that all Raw
hide is talking about. At present,
they are twenty feet down on the ore
shoot, which shows three and a half
feet of solid ore, which is breaking
better than $500 a ton. This ore
shoot has been opened up for a dis,
lance of three hundred and fifty feet
on the surface, and from it are being
taken assays running from $50 q
$500 a ton.
Three leases are being worked al
a distance of 2700 feet from this
lease, and they are all in good ship.
ping ore. Before the discovery Of
Stinson and Granger. these were the
top notch leases of the camp. The
camp is looking especially fine, ant
a particularly good showing is tina
of the Kerns' lease on Balloon noun
tain. Here they are sacking ore tina
goes $110 a ton, and the Miller least
on Roseberry hill shows an immense
high grade milling proposition. There
are seven or eight feet here which
will go $50. Conditions are getting
better in the camp. for there is more
money going in. When things gei
better in the East, Rawhide will ge.
all that is coming to her. The dis
covery on the Royal claim, Showing
as it does a well defined vein sys
tenn, has done more than anything
else in instilling confidence in Raw
