all details of construction. 1t is
full three-eompartment. and has
been carried down from the sur
face to the 4O0-foot level without
an appreciate error in its vertical
dimensions.
The level is in a limestone and
shale formation with ribs of quartz
showing in places. The limestone is
known locally as the Morning Glory
limestone, and is found usually
everything the ore bearing blue lime
stone. The surface equipment of
the Extension is most complete in
all particulars, five drill compress
soIs, 48-h. p. hoist, a most COM
mcdious engine and compressor
room with storehouse included for
machinery and equipment parts.
The clubhouse for the accommo-
dation of the Extensions employees
has just been completed and has
been designed by the superintendent,
MIR. Haug, to insure most comfor-
table living quarters for the men.
Manhattan Consolidated
The weeks development of the
cast orebody in the Consolidated
from the fourth level now shows the
orebody to be us feet in length,
18th it's width from IS to "a feet
between walls. 1t should be men
toned that at this writing the face
of the east drift on the orebody still
shows a full face of high grade ore,
so hat it is premature to announce
the length of the vein.
IT can be safely stated, though,
that from the fourth level the ore
body is at least 80 feet longer than
as developed from the level above.
A marked similarity is noted in the
developments of the east orebody
of the Consolidated and the east
orebody of the white Caps.
At the directors meeting of the
Consolidated, held Immediately after
the stockholders meeting on the
4th of December, it was decided to
lave the working shaft sunk for an
additional 200 feet as soon as the
limits of the east Orebody from the
400 level has been exploited.
This will give a vertical depth of
$40 feet, with virgin ground for
Stopping from below the 200-foot
level, and with several thousand
tons of broken ore in the slopes
above that level, with a develop
ed vein from IS to 80 feet in width
and from 90 to 1870 feet in length
and carrying an average of over
$50 per ton from the 200 level on
down.
The annual meeting of the Man
haitian Consolidated Mines Develop
mept company was held in Tonopah
on Monday, Dec. 4, with more than
the necessary representation OF
stock present. The following direc-
tors were elected by the stockhold-
ers: J. H. Miller, C. G. Boak, w. j..
! Douglass, w. j. Webster, F. M.
, Manson, C. F.. Wittenberg and E. j..
Erickson; and later, at the meet
ing of the board, the directors
chose j. II. Miller for president; w.
J. Douglas for vice-president; and
c. c. Boak for secretary and trea-
surer.
The board of directors at it's
meeting levied an assessment OF l
cent per share, and also voted to
retire the $4,000 preferred stock,
to replace which the same number
of shares of common stock and
be issued.
Union Amalgamated
Mining developments from tho
Amalgamated are announced as be-
ing resumed from the bottom or
coo incline level of the Bath shaft.
Cross-cut No. COL, the first cross-cut
west of the shaft, has been advanc-
ed 27 feet during the week in lime
stone and several stringers of cal
cite we're cut.
The east drift, No. GA, was ad-
vanced six feet on the vein. The
Earl shaft has been enlarged and
completely retimbered to the 222-
foot point in the shaft. On the
surface the compressor Foundation
has been finished and the build
ing has been nearly completed.
Red Top Mining Co.
The heavy flow of water recently
developed in the Red Top shaft
has been conquered at last and sink
Ing has been resumed. The broken
