ing the foot-wall AS soon as the
drift is cleared out machine will
be at work extending the drift on
the ore already developed for
length of eighty feet The pillar of
rich oxdized ore below the old eighty
foot level in the shaft ore shoot has
been tapped with raise, chute
has been installed and the ore is now
being broken down Grab samples on
the ore show values of SIT per ton.
Surveys in the Manhattan Consoli
dated workings west on the 200 foot
level show that a distance of 4S feet
will be necessary to tap the Kendall
ore shoot of free milling ores. Con-
nection from the west drift has been
made with the old workings of the
Wttenberg, Mushett lease and a large
tonnage of low grade ores are made
Immediately available, being already
developed in the lease workings. The
associated ten-stamp mill will be
ready for continuous operation on the
first day of August There has been
necessary a great deal of repair work
in the mill, replacing frozen valves
and pipes and oyerhauling the ma
chinery. Two new tanks have been
installed so that both clear water and
solutions can be used when base ores
are being milled complete set of
amalgamating plates are in place be-
low the stamps and the tube mill.
Water for the mill operation is OBJ
tained from the Earl workings. the
Consolidated and from the White
Caps, total of about 10000 gallons
Tper day thus being obtained The
Consolidated company intend to start
milling operations with a consign-
ment OF a thousand tons OF free mill
ing ores. then the Consolidated Leas-
ing company is to mill thousand
tons Of ore. Possibly after that, the
White Caps may mill some of their
oxidized ores.
No authoritative information re-
garding the merging and sale of prae-
tically all the producing properties in
the western portion of the district
can be obtained. II is noted that al
ready force of miners are at work
trenching on the surface on the Jump
ing Jack claim. Presumably the
great zone Of enriched schist which
has proven so remunerative in the
Reilly fraction and in the Big Pine.
directly joining the Jumping Jack to
/ the south, is TO be developed from
| the surface, and its limits and values
+ 10 be determined where it crosses the
claim II is rumored that an agree
ment has been made in regard to
prospecting the ore zone in the Big
Pine and the Mayfiower, now being
+ operated by Mushett and Wittenberg.
i Reports that three prospecting drills
similar to Keystone drills have been
purchased and are now en- route to
be used in defining the limits of the
ore zones throughout the properties
included in the proposed deal are
also to be heard on the street, but
these rumors are neither confirmed
nor denied by anyone in authority To-
cally The only method to prove the
truthfulness or falsity of the many
reports will be simply to wait and
watch developments. Mushett and
Wittenberg, the operators of the Big
Pine and the Manhattan Milling and
Ore company ten-stamp mill, report
that large crusher. with a capacity
rated at 400 tons per day has beer
purchased and will be installed OF
the Big Pine, close to the collar o.
the working shaft and that the ore'
will then be crushed and grizzlieC
and the grade of product thus raised
and the waste rock eliminated at thu
: mine. thus doing away with the extri
hauling charge and the costs of mil
ing a lower grade ore.
