MANHATTAN MORNING STAR
MAKING A GREAT SHOWING

The property known as the Morning
Star, owned by Martinson, Durgan and
Giffen. and located in the rhyolite-por
phyrv belt north of Manhattan, has
shown a marked increase in mineraiiza-
ton during the past week, says the
Mail. Heretofore considerable pros
pecting was being done at the l2O-foot
level, extending the crosscuts north and
south and a drift east.
About a week ago work was begun
sinking the shaft from the 120-foot
point. When a representative OF the
Mail visited the property Friday the
shaft was down 125 feet, showing the
entire bottom to be ~mineraliZed. Along
the footwall a tale seam from one-haif
to one inch in thickness separated II
inches of the best ore. Five inches
toward the hanging wall from the
tale seam is a very nice live porphyry
quartz, tHIouSH winch IL Schei"y VS.
seminated hematite carrying visible
gold. Eight inches under the tale
seam is mineralized and also carries
hematite and free gold and gives very
encouraging paintings. The value ot
this eignt-inch streak, however, is prob
ably not over eight to twelve dollars
per ton. From paintings made from the
hve-inch streak it would probably aver
age from $40 to $25, although paintings
can be had from this streak as high as
500. There are two other stringers
from two to four inches in width in the
shaft, one about the center of it and the
other along the hanging wall side, both
of which are similar to the fve-inch
streak, although not as rich. At the
l00-foot point the ledge assumed al
most a perpendicular position, and at
the present depth remains the same. ~
the crosseut hat was run south al
the l20-foot level other stringers were
caught, and it is believed that the}
will all unite into one ore body at an
additional depth of 20 to 40 feet. Al
shown in the shaft and in the souts
crosscut, there is a mineralized widtf
of about IA feet.

WHY HAYDEN RESIGNED
FROM CONSOLIDATED BOARD

Regarding the resignation of Charles
+. Hayden from the Goldfield Con
solidated Mines company's directorate,
the Copper Curb and Mining Outlook,
of New York, says:
The seat hitherto occupied by Mr..
Charles L. Hayden as one of the diree-
tors of Go.dheld Consolidated is vacant.
1t was reiirquished by him soon after
the board went into quarterly session
last week. rhe announcement could
not be officially verified but the Out
look is perfectly willing to stand ON
the assertion. PRESIDENT Wingfeld nor
his colleagues would affirm or deny it.
In their refusal 10 do so they were
quite emphatic. IL vas one of the
prerogatives of their former associate
ON the board with which they mani
tested no desire to interfere. Amy
reply to the announcement that Mr..
Hayden had resigned they preferred
to leave entirely with him. 1t vas
denied that Mr.. Hayden's resignation
mad been demanded but it is said
that immediately the members con
vened it was made SO apparent to Mr..
Hayden that lie had placed himself
out of harmony with the administra-
ton, that resignation was the only
course left to one endowed with the
finer sensibilities. 1t is said that from
the rap of the presiding officers gavel
the attitude of Mr.. Hayden col
leagues could not be misunderstood
For Mr.. Hayden's action the street
if not many of the shareholders were
prepared and what, under ordinary cir
cumstances, might have been a source
of embarrassment to the market price
of the stock was averted. Certainly
his action cannot be made to reflect
upon the physical condition nor the
earning capacity of the company $

tremendous estates at Goldfeld. No
man nor lot of men can discredit them
while the bullion being sent out from
the mills and the ~consignments of high
grade ore at intervals from the slopes
cannot fail to put a quietus ON the
bear or those who might have been
bearishly inclined.
"Mr. Hayden's retirement from the
board, indeed, is almost without sig
nificance so far as it relates to the
affairs of the Goldfeld Consolidated.
lie is undoubtedly a very busy man
and it is not unlikely that Mr.. Hayden
felt that the undertakings in which he
has a larger interest were entitled to
his moral as well as finan-
eiai. His firm has evinced a very pro-
nounced leaning toward if not a prefer
ence for coppers and it may be its
desire to take its clients with it into
that channel. The announcement i.
made that Mr.. Hayden S firm has a.
quired the Santa Rita mines, east of
Silver City, New Mexico, and of which
MIR. Thomas w. Lawson recently pledg-
ed himself to deliver control TO the
Process Copper company. 1T IS sald
that this undertaking will require a
great deal of Mr.. Hayden's time,
while his firm has been active in the
exploitation of other youngsters in the
realm of Copper that are not yet quite
ready to stand alone, and which, iii
the absence of Mr.. Hayden's intelli-
gent solieitude might 60 astray. The
gentleman no doubt has a reason for
MS rather singular and Incompatible
attitude toward Goldfeld Consolidated
and perhaps will be induced to part
with it after he has thought it over.
Meanwhile the seat from which he
has retired remains without an occu
pant, although there is plenty of timber
on which to draw for a successor

TUNNEL ON ROYAL FLUSH
IS NEARING THE LEDGE

T. G.. Cockings, assistant general
manager Of the Royal Flush group at
Gold Mountain, reports that the work
of extending the tunnel TO the maii
ledge, from which rich specimens have
been secured, is now well under way,
and that about 20 feet further should
bring them to the vein. The tunnel IS
in l55 feet, and IS now showing spots
of tellurium ore. Well known mining
men who have examined the property
express the belief that it will make a
mine, with proper development. Four
men are pushing the work, and 1t is ex-
pected that the vein will be reached
within the next two weeks.

BONANZA AT NATIONAL
is RICHER Than EVER

Winnemucca, New, June ~S.-Nothing
but good reports continue to come IN
from National, the camp that is fast
coming into prominence on account of
its fabulously rich gold ores. Iester-
day S. W. Gundaker, president of the
National Mining company, came in
from the camp in his auto. In con
versation with a representative of
the Star he stated that the Charles
ton hill property where the leasers are
working was even looking better than
on his previous trip. The Stall broth
ers' tunnel is penetrating another
bonanza streak that is equally as rich
as any struck in the property. 1t
may sound like exaggeration, says Mr..
Gundaker, but nevertheless it is true
that the fabulously rich gold ore has
been exposed on the Combination lease
for a distance of 600 feet, the shoots
showing at intervals of about sew
enty-five feet apart, covering that dis
lance. The Stall brothers. tunnel pen
ertates the richest block of mining
ground in the world, and it is not al
uncommon sight to see chunks of ore
taken from the ledge as big as a man s
head, carrying more gold than rock.
So rich is the rock that pieces are saw
ed into slabs for jewelry, and the beau
tiful part of it is that it goes to depth
wherever the ledge has been follow
ed down.
Mr.. Gundaker stated that four men
are at work on the Tobin lease and it
will not be long before tine tunnel will
penetrate the ledge that produces the
rich ore. Felix Landes, an experience
mining man has charge of this work
a shaft has been started on the
lease secured by Harry Cresweil, the
San Francisco attorney, and four men
are doing the work so far.

thus far recorded from the oxiuized
ores, which at present form the bulk
of the product of the mine, nearly all
of the later ore developments hay-
ing taken place in the oxidized veins.
The property is now being operated
at a nice profit, and it is confidently
expected that the management will be
able to announce to the stockholders in
its next amman report, which will be
issued this fall that the Indebtedness
caused by the erection of the mill has
been entirely wiped out, when the earn
ings will begin TO pile up in the treas
ury. When the mill was completed,
about two years ago, the company
faced an indebtedness of nearly $780,
900, but by good management this vast
sum has been reduced to 100000, and
this latter amount will soon be wiped
off the books. The underground WORK
ings of the mine continue to look cx-
~cellent, and much development anl
prospecting is being carried on in nd
dition to extracting ore enough TO Heep

several new bodies of ore are being
followed up on the different Levels.
While some of them are combinations
of veins opened up and worked upon on
