MANHATTAN. August e.-Two
new shafts in the Crescent lease
have been put down for a few feet
and in one of them the same high
grade stringers of spar have been
opened as those in the first shaft
started over a month ago. The
other one is for a working shaft,
and 1t was the intention to avoid
the ore shoot with it for the rea-
son that by sinking through the
shoot the terms of the lease would
require the leaving of lot of
ore around the shaft From the
new working shaft underground
workings will tap and stope out the
ore body. thus giving the leasers
all the value obtainable.
In a distance of 25 feet from the
first strike the first new hole Is
