The Manhattan chamber OF mines pub
fishes the following synopsis OF the oper-
ations and conditions OF the principal ac-
Tive mining and milling companies OF the
district:
White Caps.-About three months ago
the working shaft on the property was
continued down from the 235 TO the 300
foot level The high grade OF ore, which
has been mined from the surface to the
235 level and which has produced so
much rich ore WAS encountered about
forty-five feet west from The shaft and
raises We're put on the ore To connect
with the level above, From between
levels there has been shipped nine car
loads OF ore to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company. the value OF the ship
ments ranging from si5 TO $50 per ton.
A very large tonnage OF ore, from SIS to
$50 per ton, has been demonstrated from
the S00-foot level. AS this ore is refrac-
tory in character Il min ore pile IS being
started by the management instead OF
shipping 10 local mills. Later on, either
rooster will be lnstalled-tests having
proven that slight roast liberates the
that 90 per cent extraction can be made
by straight amalgamatlon-or else a dif-
ferent process Will be evolved. other than
a straight cyanide process. Tests are
now being carried on in several places
TO prove the value OF the new process for
the treatment Of base ores Shortly 1t
viii be determined which process Will be
the best for the White Caps, Drifting
TO the west and south from the 300 foot
level. about 2i0 feet from the shaft the
west ore shoot was struck. and already
the ore has been proven for distance Of
sixty feet, and in three places high grade
streaks were encountered. At the pres
cnt time the east drift Is being extended
TO connect with the east ore body at
bottom OF the shaft. This east ore body
In the upper levels is OF immense size,
being In places five ana fifty feet
feet In length. When this east ore body
Is opened up from the bottom level the
White Caps Will have three separate ore
bodies 10 work on, any one OF which
would suffice in most districts to classify
the White Caps as a mine. The ore pro-
duction OF the White Caps for the past
two years is l1,300 tons; gold values In
same 1852. 200.
Manhattan Consolidated.-The main ore
body in this property as depth was OBJ
tained in its development proves TO be
base and not susceptible to the ordinary
cyanide treatment In the local mills A
series OF tests have proven. the same as
with the White Caps, that slight roast
liberates the refractory elements and
makes the orc free milling The Consoll-
dated. the White Caps and the Associated
Mtlling company are awaiting the results
Of tests now being carried on In Cali
fornia.. BY process. part chemical and
part electrical. II IS claimed that without
ton can be made. The Kendall lease on
a portion OF the Consolidated estate, has
Just completed a mill run Of 107 tons OF
ore. which produced gold brick Of $4,000
besides the values treated in the mills
cyanide department Settlement was
made on valuation OF SAT per ton for
the milling. The ore was taken from a
level in the Kendall workings The values
are still being found in the ore body as
exposed In this winze. and shortly stop
Ing will be commenced on the ore.
The Earl.-The Brady lease on this
property Is now milling ore from the west
ore shoot from the 350-foot level and also
from the extension OF the Kendall vein,
opened UP S6o feet east from the Earl
shaft
Litigation Hell Merger,-The working
shaft OF The principal block OF this COM
pany Is down 500 feet on an incline. the
No. claim. The value of the total pro-
duction Of orc from this block is over
$4,000. There arc three sets Of leasers
at work on parts Of the company estate.
The Toro Blanco For more than
year this property has been pers!stentiy
developed. both by company work and
by leasers. The company work has pro-
duced "A working shaft over 200 feet deep.
well equipped with hoisting plant cleo
trio pump, blacksmith shop. etc. The
leasers' development while on a small
scale. has resulted in several hundred
feet of drifting and cross cutting IN the
northern end OF the estate and has ex
rosed the mother lode IN that section.
The company shaft has penetrated the
cap sh1le and is now well down in the
true ore zone. at q depth OF 215 feet.
Present operations are confined 20 driving
north driit on the ore and further sink
i,e of the shaft. Stopping of the ore
will be deferred until both these opera
lions have been extended 10 fifty feet
further. The leasers are still sinking q
wiuze on the downward extension Of their
orc shoot a shipment TO the mill win
shortly be made. The ore. when first
struck. averaged $50 per ton. but the
values have Increased with DEVELOPMENT
unt1 now the average * nearer $40.
mphrey.-Leasers are at work
in three places on this company's estate
Several small nlllings have been made
and good grade OF mill ore has been
developed.
Dexter Union-The Gillian Cornell lease
on n portion OF Union No. claim re-
Gently shipped seven and one-half tons of
ore to the mill which averaged s12.s7 per
ton. Other leasers are prospecting on
various portions OF the large company
holdings.
