GOLDFTELD. Nev., Oct lit is
learned upon unquestonable authority
that the men in control OF the Manhattan
Biz -Four Mining company have received
tempting offer for their stock hold
inss in that company. but have refused
to sell in view OF the production now
being made bv the iessees and the show
ing OF high grade ore, which has jatelY
been EXPOSED on the 400 foot level after
one lease. the Stecn- -Poak. Cicala lease
has produced some $500. .oo0 worth OF ore
averaging around Si5 per ton from work
ings above the 3O0-foot level. Tho 400
level Is not producing as yet for the rea-
son that il has become necessary to in
crease the capacity or the pumping plant.
as the heavy flow OF water on this level
threatened TO drown out the miners.
Additional pumping facilities arc now
being provided and the property VIII
shortly be increasing its production from
the big vein exposed on the 500 leNe':
\ vinze has been sunk from the 800 level
and the ore across the entire face assays
from $3.50 To 500 per ton, This Wine

The product has also been treated by
the War Eagle mill at Manhattan and

500 ions of medium grade material that
has been extracted in the process OF de-
velopment. The Big Four Is now The
center of interest at Manhattan and has
all the earmarks Of a bonanza mine.

X Is said that small amount or work
has been done on the properties and that
one OF the early stockholders, an attor-
ney named Hudson, is now associated
with Herman zadig, the San Francisco
mining man and broker. in an effort 10
reorGanize the companies and save the
property for the stockholders in order
that they may bc developed. IL the
event that this plan is successful ii is
more than probable that they will be

The Florence Goldneld mine and mill

operation. There Is absolutely no ground
whatever for rumors that were circulated
some. time ago. to the effect that any

According to r c. Ioc;hart vice
president and managing director OF the
Florence company. the mill is making n
oeiter extraction at lower cost than at
