BIGGEST NUGGET
FROM MANHATTAN
LATEST FIND is VALUED AT
TWENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS
MINERAL HILL MINE RESUMES

San Francisco Syndicate Furnishes
Funds for Development Work.
Litigation Blocks
Out Ore

MANHATTAN, Aug. 22.-The big
gest nugget yet found at the Sunrise
Placer company's ground in the gulch
was brought to the surface last week
from one of the drifts. 1t was taken
out by A. A. Bissell and is valued at
S27.5O Several other nuggets worth
from So to So were recovered at about
the same time. The second largest
nugget from the Sunrise was found
some months ago by "Dry-Wash" VIII
son and was worth $3.50.
A gasoline hoist has just been in
stalled OH the Mineral Hill conpany's
ground and the work of sinking the
main shaft has been resumed. The
shaft is down 276 feet and will be con-
tinued to the 3OO-foot level, where
crosscut will be run north to cut the
ledge which was opened up in cross
cut at the 225-foot level.
Richard Genung, a mining engineer
of san Francisco, spent week IN
camp making a careful examination
of the holdings of the Mineral Hill
company for a San Francisco syndicate
and upon his report ample funds have
been placed to the credit of the com
pany to insure extensive development
work.
At Manhattan Sunshine
The Manhattan Sunshine Mining
, company continues to hold public inter-
est and the Improvement in the de-
velopment of the property is gratifying
to 2. c. Durgin, who has charge of
operations during the absence of Gen
eral Manager w. J. Roderick.
The Sunshine is situated in the north
ern or rhyolite belt and lies on the
summit between Red and Mahogany
mountains and comprises four claims.
The property is owned and financed by
eastern people.
Activities on Litigation hill continue
and development work as well as
blocking out ore is the order of the
DAY.
on the Ray-Plamenaz lease on the
Consolidated ground they have installed
a gasoline hoist and are now taking
out ore. From the grass roots down
this lease has been in ore of milling
grade that runs from S25 to $40 ton In
gold; the probable average values will
he close to $50 to the ton. To the pres
ent time only depth of twenty-five
feet has been gained, with the bot
tom of the shaft all in ore.

Drifts are being extended at the
150-foot level, both east and west, ana
the values remain permanent.
r. A. Martin, II. E. Stanley and as
sociates, at a depth of fifty feet, have
lust entered the top of body of ore
and from paintings made the values
will make an extra milling grade OF
ore. Until a few feet additional depth
is gained the extent of the ore body
will not be known.
The Bath brothers are extending
drifts both east and west from the nj
ty-foot level in their lease. 1t appears
that the shaft was sunk about the
center of the ore shoot, for in both the
east and west drifts which are out
from the bottom of the shaft about
twenty-five feet each, values are dl5
rninishing from those they discovered
in the bottom of the shaft While the
values are much less they still show
a profitable grade of milling ore.

BUYS Pascoe Group

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 22.-Miami Cop

of eight claims. which carry the eX-
tension of it's ore body, for $5O,O00. 1t
has had these claims under option for
over a year, and is understood to have
explored the ground sufficiently to
demonstrate it's value. The work on
the Miami concentration is going ahead
steadily and in less than year the
company should be producing copper
on a large scale. Those in a position to
speak with knowledge of the property
and plans of the management express
assurance that Miami stock will sell

Old Dominion Earnings

TUCSON, Aug. 22.-Old Dominion
produced about 21,500,0OO pounds of
copper in the first seven months of this
year, which is at the rate of 310OO,OO0
pounds or more annually. About so
per cent of this copper came from the
company's own, and the remainder
from custom ores. From its own
mines, therefore, the company is now
producing about 29,500,OOO pounds of
copper annually, and the cost of this,
refined delivered and sold, construction
expenditures included, is only slight
fraction over 10 cents pound. On the
present copper market, therefore, Old
Dominion must be earning at the rate
of 1856, 900 annually, or $2.95 share on
its stock

NEVADA CITY, Aug. 22.-Another

which has taken the old Hermosa prop

The actual name of the concern is

generally known for many years as the

holdings in the neighborhood of Watt
Park. The property has been idle FOR
MANY years, though at one time 1t was
worked to a considerable extent.
In all about 10000 shares were issued,

PRESCOTT, Aug. 22.-Hiram S. Grif-
nth. discoverer of the famous GLORY
Hole" mining claim in the vicinity of
Bouse, a mineral event that stampeded
miners from all parts of the territory,
and created intense excitement, will
return to that field in a few Gays to
resume work on the GLORY and other
claims adjacent. Mr.. Griffith in speak
ing of this transaction says that al
though the excitement over the discov-
ery has auieted down, it is a fact,
nevertheless, that this claim, along
with others in that zone, will again
come into prominence. AS soon as the
weather moderates he believes that

Quartz and Placer Mining Will Be Fol-
lowed by New Concern Known
as Gold Mint Mining
Company

PRESCOTT. Ariz.. Aug. 22.-One of
the most important mining transac-
tions consummated in this section of
Arizona is that announced as having
been closed a few days ago, when
party of Nevada mining men entered
and made many locations of ground in
the western end of Copper basin, and
selected the old cinnabar claims of
Richard McNary as the initial spot on
which to begin operations.
The association that has taken over
this ground is known as the Gold Mint
Mining company, and among its
hackers are Messrs. Montgomery, Shea,
Byrne, Casad ond Williams.
1t is the purpose of the Gold Mint
people to sink a shaft at once on the
quicksilver location, and a depth of
400 feet is given as the demonstrating
test. Following this work it is their
intention to go into quartz and placer
operations on an extensive scale. In
their selection of a great range of
placer and quartz mining ground they
were guided by expert opinion, two en-
gneers versed in placer and quartz
mining accompanying them to the
field and making practical examination
in each instance.

Lumber Shipped to Claims

A carload of lumber left Prescott last
week with which to build houses, while
a freighting contract has been signed
with Charley Miller to transport sup
plies. They have also started the
building of a new wagon road to Skull
valley, and with other considerations
have entered that field with intentions
to thoroughly and methodically explore
their many claims.
Interest will follow their work on
especially the cinnabar ground. This
property came into prominence over
twenty-five years ago, and the state
ment was made at the time that the
percentage of quicksilver carried in its
ores was the equal of that of the cele-
brated mines in California near Tulare
lake. No extensive work has ever
been given these deposits in Copper
basin, but if depth terminates as sat
isfactorily as surface results indicated,
mining will come into prominence in
another avenue of production that will
materially enhance the industry and
bring it into deserved prominence and
rating. The Mint company's placer
and quartz belt has also never been
explored to depth, although surface
showings merited extensive exploita
tion. This they propose to do in the
near future.

fact remains that the property is val
