shipments. Within the past few days
the CliffordS and Nays started a tun
mel from about 100 feet down the
mountainside from where the original
strike WAS made, with the intention OF
catching the ore at that depth, and
about 100 feet from the portal of the
tunnel. The orc encountered there
would establish depth for the district

IN the section, 1t is learned that there
is not the slightest rush attendant upon
the present development work, and the
ground is being worked with View of
saving everything in sight. so that il
is expected that when the real work
OF taking out the ore begins, it NAV
be done without loss to the owners and
with systematic preparation for future
work. The driving Of the tunnel from

the first exploration work in the dis.

delivered all the leases asked for. and
upon which work will start at once.
The town itself is rather busy, having
several saloons, restaurants. grocery
stores and tent houses.
According to Frank Oliver. the well
known mining expert. who returned
yesterday from the new placer beds OF
Manhattan. the latter has gorgeous
future. Prospects could not be better
for the camp at tins time. There is
now no further question with regard to
the richness of the gulch, as proven by
the showing made by every company
which has so far sought bed rock. Not
a single blank has been drawn along
the four to six miles, and it is CON
ceded that the only thing necessary
! IS TO get depth and install the right
kind OF machinery on the ground to
handle the gravel. Mr.. Oliver says
that fully half a dozen blocks of
ground along the channel should be
shipping rich stuff within the next
few DAYS. Dick Colburn returned from
there yesterday with flat nugget that
is beauty, not large, but intrinsically
worth about So, as pretty a specimen
as one would care to have. The recent
injection of electricity into the Man
haitian district is bound to keep the
camp humming all summer.
Up at Lucky Boy, it Is claimed that
several new shippers will be on the
list before the end Of next week Val
ues have been found wherever depth
has been attained, and number of
former prospects have been brought in.
1t is stated to bc fact that the orc
at Lucky Boy is not confined TO one
particular area, but extends over a ter.
rltory larger, perhaps than any similar
district in the state. From one end of
the district to the other, wherever the
required amount Of development work
has been done. the orc has been found
characteristic of the strike made on the
