LINESOF HIGHEST EFFICIENCY

Manhattan has emerged from the
high grade frenzied period of specu-
lation and is now nearing the time
when the camp will begin to don
new garb as producer of gold from
low grade ores such as are not ham
died or treated profitably by any
other camp in the state. Manhattan
has suffered long and patiently from
the stigma Of being high grade
camp with nothing more than pic
ture values to invite the investor
and showings of masses of gold-laced
wire to tempt the dollars from pock-
cts of investors. Such displays are
prone to arouse the cupidity of those
who buy stocks for the sake of max
ing fortune out of a trivial invest
meut, but the man with big money
and vast experience is likely to shy
away from districts that cannot do
better than display masses of jew
elry. In mining 1t is a notorious
fact that such finds do not hold out
and, unless they are accompanied by
bodies of commercial ore, the speci-
mems are seldom treated with ordi-
nary consideration. In other words,
what is sought by the collector for
mineral cabinet is not desirable to
the man looking for a permanent
and lasting foundation for his wealth
Ever since the dawn of Treadwell
and its wonderfully steady produc
tion there always has heen an un
varying demand for low grade ores
in sufficient bodies to guarantee the
erection sof a mill whose merits can
be expanded by the addition of more
crushing capacity and the installa-
tion of mechanical auxiliaries.
Manhattan Holds Record.
