MANHATTAN BLACK SANDS
CARRY FINE GOLD VALUES

Charles Austin returned yesterday from
q Trip TO Manhattan, where he spent
some time looking over the situation. He
says ne saw ASSAYS from the ground be-
ing worked by George W. Pearce, for
merry connected with the Nevada Re
duction works Of this city, which gives
values of 1912 per ton from the black
sands. This is among the first instances
OF this kind to show up that part Of the
country, notwithstanding the fact that
the residue from the Washings have at
all times given some very good returns.
II is said to be possible to realize heaV-
lily from these sands in the event some
method is devised whereby they can be
properly saved in the course of separ-
ating them from the gold dust itself and
the inevitable waste. The nature OF the
sand makes 1t possible for this to be
done by the application Of magnetism
with which to attract the particles as
they pass down the sluices, or as they
pass into the tailings. However, the mat
ter is still too young to figure out. and
it remains to be seen whether or not
some Of the enterprising placers OF that
district begin work from this end Of the
history.
Mr.. Austin states that Mr. Pearce has
some very fine looking gravel which IS
estimated to be worth on an average OF
S. p per cubic yard, and one of the best
plants in the gulch. He predicts that
within a short time the ground Will be
yielding fine results.

Boston, Aug. u.-Interest in coppers in
creased as the day went on until the
close. We had the broadcast and best
market for months The total quota
tons will steadily advance from niw on
and ii will be only a matter of a short
time before we see copper selling be-
tween 10 and 10 cenas. The strength in
Amalgamated Copper selling above IS and
only paying per cent shows the conf
dence of the big men in the situation
and no one will make any mistake by
picking up the local cOppers around this
level. Copper Range. which has been quiet
so long, has at last started and we eX-
pect to see it catch uD to Amalgamated
Copper in short order. The advanced
price in copper will do much to help
Shannon and East Butte. Recent news
from the latter is very encouraging, every
day showing an increased production.
The smelter for the last week has turned
out copper at the rate Of $4,000 pounds

RICH ORE FROM
BRAND CAMP
Flourine, New, Appears to
Have the Goods in Discover
les Only a Few Weeks Old.

Some rich and handsome specimens of
ore from the new camp Of FlOurine, Lin
coin county, Nevada, has been forwarded
to The Herald. The samples come from
the White Horse mine and are in the
raw and roasted state. The roasted ore
is full OF bubbles Of silver and gold.
The property Is owned by {. c. Miller
and Charles Rafferty,, instead of a Mr..
King. as stated by d Herald correspond
ent at MOdena in an item telling of the
strike, on the 4th of the present month.
On Friday last, when the last word
came out Of the camp, the shaft was
down sixteen feet and the bottom was all
IN ore that would average 80 ounces sill
yer and $40 in gold per ton. while a three
foot streak was given an estimated assay
showing Of 100 ounces silver and $50 in
gold. As neither wall OF the ledge had
been found II was not known just how
wide the vein would prove TO be-
4 town has been started where this
strike was made, about the first of the
month, and il is called FiOurine. 1t is
twelve miles over good road from Del
mOres station on the branch line of the
San Pedro from Caliente to Phoebe, and
the chief showing so far made is in the
five claims owned by Miller and Rafferty,.
The next best showing is that made on
what is termed the Gold Bug lead, which
IS the same as that on which the strike
was made in the White Horse group by
Miller and Rafferty,. The disclosures
made in these properties are claimed to
be the best that have been made in south
ern Nevada for several years and other
strikes are being recorded daily, accord
ing to report
A genuine boom is expected in the new
district and the fact that several tents
and some frame buildings are already
going up, leaves little room TO doubt that
the camp is going to make a noise like
the real thing.

GOT LEMONADE
IN THE KAWICH
PrOSpectOr Appears in TOn0-
pah With Spring Water Worth
a Mint of Money.

Considerable excitement was created in
Ionopah yesterday afternoon by pros
pector named James Cherry who arrived
IN this city after having spent several
weeks in the Wawich range in search OF
the precious metals While Mr.. Cherry
was unsuccessful in locating anything Of
value so far as gold and silver are con-
cerned. he did discover a spring which II
reports are true will make him independ-
ent for lie, says the TOnOpah Bonanza.
Mr. Cherry and his burrO train drew uD
in front of the Brokers Exchange saloon
late yesterday afternoon. The former
went into the thirst emporium and or
dered a drink Of whisky. After he had
drained the glass he took from his pocket
a bottle partly filled with what looked
like water and drank thereof
"Of late said he TO Ernest TOgnini.
the obliging clerk, I carry my own
Would YOU like 10 taste it he concluded.
Thanks, no." answered Ar. Tognini,
which was but natural
The prOSpeCtor put the bottle back
into his pocket and departed. Some time
later a mining man Of prominence in this
city who had grubstaked Mr. Cherry
caused the news 10 become known that
his man had found mineral water
spring, the waters Of which tasted very
much like lemonade and which the latter
said had saved his life, in addition to
tCning up his system 10 such a degree
that he feels better than he has in a quar-
ter OF a century.
From the account Of the discovery of
the spring as told a representative of the
Bonanza by the mining man, who re-
quested that his name be withheld from
publication for the present. Mr.. Cherry
became lost in the WaWich range and was
wandering like mad for many hours with
out food or water when he accidentally
ran across the spring high up in one of
the canyons Of the range. He drank his
fill, little knowing that perhaps the water
was OF The deatn-deaIng variety that is
found IN many Of the mountains in this
southern section and caring little less.
me erect OF the water was to cause him
10 sleep When he aWOke, after several
hours, he states il as the naked truth
that he never felt better in his life. He
got his bearings and proceeded TO his
camp, which, strange to relate, was but
a few hundred feet away.
When the proSpector reached town he
had IN addition to what was in the bottle
an oil can carrying about five gallons of
the water.
1T tastes for all the world like lemon

JUST WATCH THE MENDOZA
MINE IN PI0CHE CAMP

The Nendha. in the Highland district,
is steadily developing into a great bo-
nanza. While it has been classed as one
of the most valuable mines in this region
for some time, late developments have
been sufficient to convince the most skep-
teal that there is no longer any doubt
about il, says the Phoebe Record.
For more than sixty feet, on the 500
and S50-foot levels, has been exposed a
five-foot body of high-grade ore, which
on the whole is better than any hereto
fore developed in the mine.
William Lloyd, one of the principal
shareholders, visited the property a few
days ago and returned elated over pres
ent conditions.
Just watch the NIendha hereafter" de
clared Mr.. Lloyd 10 the Phoebe Record
the other day. II tell you it is going to
be heard from"
The o~e body referred TO, Mr.. Lloyd
states. carries average values running
close TO "A cents in gold. 45 per cent lead
and seventy ounces in silver. The cross
cut from the goo is approaching the re-
source and connection Will be made with
il in a very short time
Manager John r. Cook is Outputing
about all the ore the present equip
ment of the mine will allow without let
ting UP any in the campaign Of develop
ment. No Stopping is being done now; only
the ore encountered in the regular course
of exploitation is being brought to the
surface for shipment.
The management is figuring on the in
stallation of a new hosting: also a larger
plant in the near future.
