secretary of the Manhattan Dexter Min.
ing company writes this department, az
follows in response to a request for in
formation regarding that compauv.
Replying to your inquiry of the 23d
inst, l beg to say that the Dexter com
pany is at present doing no work ON
its own account, on account of lack of
funds. One lease is working on our
property, Union g.. This lease hipped
100 tons about three months ago which
returned $4,000, and another run il
now being made of less than 100 tons
that will assay around $3.50. Leases >
and 3 have been tied up by a law suit
brought by the lessee of the Stray Dog
Mining company on a question of apex
rights. / do not think there is much
if any, merit in the complaint, but. nm.
fortunately, it ties up, for the time be.
ing, a productive section of our ground.
Several applications for leases are on
file, n inside of a month, we expect
to lease blocks IL, IL and IA to a com.
pany that has ample funds with which
to develop the block to a depth of sew.
eral hundred feet. Block IA is the lease
that was formerly known as the Briggs.
Evans lease, which produced about
early days of the camp.
]. E., Collinwood, O., ct alive do
not know what the Inter-Trust com.
pany, fiscal agents of the Goldfeld Bos.
ton Consolidated, is claiming for its
property at Cane Springs, six miles east
of this district. We have heard that
exaggerated reports have been pub.
lished about the amount of work done
and in fact, this paper has been lead
into error by some of these statements.
and by reports that now appear to have
been inspired. The property is so far
away and so isolated, that it is rarely
visited by reporters and news is had
through various sources. We have
found, however, that there is one shaft
on the property IS feet deep. That
within the past six weeks a force has
been put to work, and that "a new shaft
has been started. Manager McFadden
says that the company intends to con
tinue work right along; if it does it
will have changed its policy, for work
on the ground heretofore has been done
Internationally, only. What Manager
McFadden has to say of the ground and
operations at Cane Springs, will be
found in another column of this paper.
H. T., Washington, D. Give have
