500 NUGGETS
BEING WASHED
AT MANHATTAN

Manhattan Mail, February 23.)
Nuggets estimated to be worth
over 800, washed from three and
one-half yards of gravel, is the rec
ord for few hours cleanup last Fri
day from the Barney, Stanley and
Clifford placer lease in the gulch be-
low town. Several of the nuggets
were worth from So to IS each,

them that would run as high as 81

size to some as large as peas. The
gravel from which this cleanup was
made was secured at a depth of forty
feet. Saturday and Sunday six and
One-half yards more of the gravel
was washed, and the total amount
from the ten yards, according to
James Barney's estimate, will total
over $3.50.
Contrary to the rule In most of the
other workings, when bedrock was
reached on the Barney lease, water
was not encountered and the lessees
found it necessary, in order to extract
the nuggets from the dirt, to haul
the gravel up the gulch to the Price

cut the ledge at a depth of about
seventy-five feet, when it will be
drifted on in both directions. This
vertical shaft is now down twenty
feet. The ore in this lease. is de-
composed lime quartz with consider
able fiourne.
Veith and Swanson, operating lease
No. 5, have at present the best ore
body being worked on the Earl. They
are working in an incline on north
and south ledge which is down nine
ty-two feet. From ore taken from
this incline two small runs have been
made; one run of eighteen tons
yielded $747.49, and another of
twenty-five tons yielded $727.45.
This ore was all taken out in the
course of sinking the incline. At the
ninety-two foot point in the incline
the leasers cut into another ledge
running east and west, cutting the
one on which the incline is being
sunk at almost right angle. The
east and west ledge at first showed
a width of only thirty-two inches, but
it is now full four feet in width and
will average $25 to the ton in GOLD

Mathew lease, is decomposed lime

Others suppose it to come from the shores of the northern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds. Some again iln- agine that it comes from the rocky shores of Florida and Mexico, while many others agree with me in believ- Ing that it has never had any other ' than it's present place of abode.
