Coming into its Own.

That Manhattan is coming into its
own is proven by the daily bullion out
put of that camp and the many phe-
nomenal strikes being made each week.
Every arrival from the camp is op-
timist; there are no knockers: every
body says its simply wo derfu
C. A. Leager, a former Goldfeld
broker and mining man, spent several
days at Manhattan last week going
over the properties being operated
throughout the district. In an inter-
view, sa d:
The Bi Four is wonderful mi e

Saturday the lucky leasers will start a
l,0O0-ton run of this ore at the War

already over 3OO,OOOS, and that much

"The White Caps property is being
worked on a lease and bond by the
employees of tn Nevada Fower com
pany at Goldfeld, for period of three
years. This proper Y has an immense
tonnage and has ju,t put through the
mill 50O-tons of ore that averaged COS
per ton. A 2O-stamp mill could be
kept busy all the time eating up this
ore. Three shifts are employed. and a
Mr.. Mccarthy of Goldfeld is supervis-
ing the developments.
"There is no doubt in my mind, but

through playing with the lines of bus
mess in which there has been most ae-
tivity in recent years and stands waiting
for something new to take their place.
The real estate movement which swept
over the country between 1902 and the
beginning Of the present year appears
to have largely run its course; the ag-
itation precludes new factory building,
the Wall Street market suffers from
the same agitation and the uncertainty
of court action, and railrOadlng is at
standsull.
While money is plentiful, there is
no channel for its outlet which has not
been damned up in some way. 1t
must break a new one. The same ne
eessity confroDts it about every so often
following periods of great activity.
The one thing remaining is the MIN
ing industry through all the years Of
boom has been experiencing its usual
neglect, remaining as the last to be
considered. That the mines are to
supply the needed channel for the flow
of capital, next to receive their share
of attention at the hands of the specu-
lative world, is generally believed. 1t
has happened that way before, say the
men of the mines, and there is nothing
more certain than that history will re-
peat itself
Already the coming awakening is
casting its shadow before; inquiries
are being ad for good mining prop
critics, the met ! markets are begin
ming TO dem nd the opening of more
producers, the idle capital is calling
for action. Any day the revival may
be FASTENED by the discovery of a new
camp. the breaking out of the fever,

New Leasers Make a Rich
Strike at Sewn Troughs.

News of new rich strike at Seven
Trough~ has just reached Bovelock,
says the Lovelock Review, and while
it is too rly to determine Its extent,
the discovery is of the ut ost import
ance, for t occurs in east or low
mineral bolt of the district.
The new find has bee made by the
Stall brothers, of National fame, upon
the Golden Horseshoe property in
Wild Horse Canyon, which they but
recently took over on lease and bond.
Muc signi canoe is attached TO the
strike, also, as it occurs in the bottom
of a shaft be ng sunk and the vein en-
countered is what IS known as the
blind lead.
About two years a Morrison and
Molter, then operating under e,
opened a body of mill ore on thi prop
erty, and made several shipments.
Preparations were made at that time
to deepen the shaft and open up the
shoot from below. but too much water,
and too little money frustrated the
plans and it W not until few months
ago that operations were resumed un-
der the N anagement of the Stall
brothers.
These gentlemen Immediately in
stalled machinery and began sinking
the shaft. The blind cad isclosed in
the shaft was wholly unexpected, and
doubles the prospects ofthis very nrOm-
ising property. Samples of the ore
exhibited il the istrict go as high as
1000 a ton.

A Rich Strike in Sonora.

One Of the richest strikes made in
Sonora for many months is reported
from the Vaquero property about six
miles from NaeOzari where The Nor
gan lease is now operating. Seventy
sacks of ore brought returns of 40, ,OOO$
TO Mr.. Morgan. The property was not
considered valua BILE up to this time.
The ledge from which this ore was
taken was struck several weeks ago
and is said TO indicate by its eOnior-
nation, permaneney. The exact de-
tails of the strike are not ObIainable
however. The ore content is said TO
run high in horn silver and gold.
The shipment was received at the
Copper Queen smelter here several
days ago.-Douglas Dispatch.

Big Reservoir Planned.

DR.. E. B. Perrin of Willilms, who
has fig ired promine ntly in he "! finan-
cial enterprises for many years past, is
with a number of associates planning
the installation of huge reservoir
and water distributing system suffici-

than 10 90 OS and will pr ,bably ex-

Further, most of the materials need

Silver Up to Fitty-Sm Cents

The sharp advance in the price of
silver in the London market during
the past week is believed TO be due,
according TO authorities, almost en-
tiTely to speculation So far this
week there has been an advance of Id
in the price of the white metal AT
London, and a rise Of 2 l-4c 10 So lie.
in the local market. The present Lon
don price Is the highest recorded since
Nov. 7, 1910. when the quotation stood
at 26d., while the New York quotation
is the highest since Oct. %, 1910,
when the white metal was quoted at
81 7-Sc. an ounce.
It was believed that some London
spectators were caught short and
were compelled TO enter the market
for silver in time for the next settle
ment, which takes place on Nov. IL
This belief was borne out TO a great
extent by the fact that the quotations
for futures are very nearly cent be-
low the spot quotation and which is a
very unusual condition as ordinarily
the price of futures generally rules
somewhat higher than the spot quota

Large Ore Body at Steece Mine

Superintendent P. H. Newman of
the Steece Copper company visited the
company's mine in the Riverside
mountains last week and was much
gratifed over the results of the devel-
opment work accomplished during the
summer.
AT the 5OO-foot level the shaft pass
ed through eighty feet of fine ore,
averaging POS per ton. This ore body
is to be developed thoroughly upon Mr.
Newman's return from the coast next
week. Cross-cuts are to be run in both
directions to determine its width. but
from present indications it is of great
size. As the shaft is being sunk on an
incline it went through the ore body
below the 500-foot level.
The total depth of the shaft is now
about 900 feet from the surface, or $50
feet from the upper tunnel level.
Water was encountered recently, and
it is confidently believed by the man
agement that now that water level has
been reached the values will not only
be greater, but it is reasonable to ex-
Mohave County miner., 1911-11-25

pect that the ore bodies will be of
greater proportions and permanency.
Mr.. Steece is expected to arrive
from the east within the next ten days,
when a larger force will be employed
at the mine. Sinking continued
throughout the summer.
The Steece mine will no doubt be
enabled to send out number of good
shipments the coming winter, and if
the bg ore body encountered at the
5OO-foot level proves all that is expect
ed of the mine it will be one of the
most valuable in the southwestern
ker Post.

Box Canyon Dam and
Railroad Assure d..

A Box Canyon dispatch says:-It is
reported in railroad circles that the
building of long delayed cutoff be-
tween Winkelman and San Carlos
through the box canyon of the Gila
river is assured. The route will be
over the high line through the canyon
and will not in any way interfere with
the proposed irrigation project where
by 100000 acres of arid land be-
tween Florence and Casa Grande will
be converted from frowning, forbid
ding desert into a land of homes and
fertile farms. Many people have been
under the impression that the right
of way along the low line, near the
bottom of the canyon is absolutely es-
sential to the construction of this cutoff
not granted this right of way render
ing impossible the construction of the
huge storage dam and condemning to
permanent aridity the fertile lands be-
tween Florence and Casa Grande, no
other route is possible and the line
could not be built.
According to engineers this idea is
entirely erroneous. Both projects are
possible and feasible and both will be
put into execution. 1t will merely
cost the railroad more money.
Two different lines have been sur
veyed which will place the railroad
where 1t passes the dansite five miles
below San Carlos, $50 feet higher than
the formerly proposed lo~ line, so
that it will not interfere with or pre-
vent the building of the dam.
The total length of the line to be
built from San Carlos on the Arizona
Eastern to the END of the Phenix &
Eastern, nine miles northeast of Wink
Gilman, is thirty miles and it is stimat-
ed that it will cost &c, ,OOO, ,OOOS or 900
900 per mile. II will be nearly all
rock work and will necessitate many
bridges and tunnels, hence the high
cost of construction, says the Globe
Silver Belt.
Washington advices are to the effect
that the right of way along one or the
other of the surveyed high lines will
soon be granted by the interior depart,
ment and it is definitely known that
the right of way along the cheaper low
line will not be granted. But the rail-
road company Is said to be satisfied
and prominent Southern Pacific offic-
ial has assured a Silver Belt repre-
sentative that construction will begin
in few months.
The building of this road will cut
down the present railroad distance be-
tween Globe and Hayden, the location
of the new smelter being built by the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, from $50 to 20 miles.
Its Importance to the Glohe-Miami
district cannot be over estimated, af
fording as it will a haul of only 20
miles for the ores and concentrates of
the district which are now shipped to
El Paso and Cananea, to the new smell
ter at Hayden.
1t will also give easy access to the
fertile Salt River valley, the distance
to Phoenix being reduced from 80 to
It's miles or to less than half.

Report of Nelson
Strike Confirmed.

Additional information of the big
strike that was made on the Nelson
mines near Crown King, was learned
yesterday from Geo. p. Harrington,
who states that it is unquestionably
one of the most important develop
ments that has ever been made in the
Bradshaw region, when depth is taken
into consideration. he states that the
nine. foot ore body was struck in the
drift $50 feet from the bottom of the
main working shaft which is $50 feet
in depth. The ore is a heavy iron sui
phide, characteristic of that belt. and
average samples assay from across the
vein returned from l2S TO l5s per ton,
principally in gold. The ore body wa
carried in the drift for 80 feet farther
TO ascertain its permanency, when OD-
eratiOns were discontinued and sinking
the main shaft was resumed, the inten
tion being TO reach a point about 200
feet eeper.
When a point l75 feet from the sur
face was reached, another interesting
mineral condition was discovered. a
wedge shaped shoot of ore coming in
that showed copper sulphurets to be
supplanting the iron sulphides above,
and carrying a grade that will probab-
ly be valuable enough TO stand ship
