 manganese in the Oregon and Esque- redo claims and are working both properties night and day to try an0I fill the demand for that ore in the eastern market. Last month the com pany shipped over hundred cars of this class ore and received good returns Several cars of manganese concentrates were also shipped. An of this ore is shipped direct to the steel manufacturers who are using it in the manufacture of war munitions. The company has in the past year re- ceived several hundred thousand dol lars in revenue from this class of ore as manganese of over sixty per cent is very scarce and the market for that grade an dhigher has been most ex- cellent. Some of the ore from. the Oregon will carry from 75 to so per cent.
 The company, at the present time, has over 500 men on the payroll and others are being added almost daily. There are some twenty claims on which the company is now doing work and shipments being made from nearly half of them. The present price of silver will allow the company to han dle at a profit a great amount of low grade ore that could not be handled lt profit a few months ago. New ore trucks and teams have been added to the equipment so that the shipment can be increased. New ore bins have been constructed in several places for the loading of the ore and there IS some talk of additional railroad spurs being built to some of the properties so that the ore can be loaded directly into the ears without any hauling. - So far the work and development done has been more than satisfactory to the management of the company and has far exceeded its best expec- tations. Some Of the money that was set aside for the reopening of the properties has not been touched as the returns during the past six months has more than paid operating ex penses and there is now quite little sum on tn credit side of the books. { The excellent showing that has been made in the opening up of the old properties and the present condition of things reflects great credit on Su- perintendent Emil Grebe and his as, sistants and there is but little doubt but what the future developments will add to it.
 Ships Ore.
 Frank Winters has recently shipped car of ore from his big. little mine in the vicinity of the Last Chance. This mine has proved itself to be a poor mans mine" and ever since Frank Winters began work on it he has re- ceived excellent returns for his labors With the help of one man and faith ful whim horse, he has been working day after day, week after week and month after month. and every day has taken out little ore that soon amounts to a car load. His returns from the present car will be greater | than they have bean for sometime on account of the present high price of lead and silver
 Other Properties.
 n Several other parties are at work in different sections of the District and will soon begin to make ship. ments. A number of them have had shipments ready but the smelters would not receive the ore but during the past week word has been received that they are again in the market for small shipments and it is expected : that several cars will be shipped by leasers during the coming week
