Manhattan Consolidated
In the Consolidated workings
on the 300-foot level, at a distance
of II feet east from the shaft, the
mud fault, which has been so we'll
defined and developed, both from
the upper levels of the present
working shaft of the company and
also from the workings extended
from the old company shaft, was
struck and the face of the drift is
now into the fault a distance of 10
feet.
While it is impossible to state
to 40 feet. at last there has been
something tangible obtained with
reference to the position of the ore
body in connection Herewith.
Manhattan Morning Glory
The Morning Glory shaft has
reached a depth of 100 feet. At
this point there is a change in the
formation, the lime changing into
quartz. The bottom of the shaft
shows considerable oxidized mater
ial, although some sulphides al
ready show. The management an
nounces that a SO horse power
three drill compressor has been pur-
chased from Silver Peak and is now
en- route to Manhattan. The new
As horse power electric hoist is
now being installed and should be
ready for use within three days. 1t
is planned to build an enlarged en-
CINE house so that the hoist and
compressor can be installed under
n roof.
Amalgamated Extension
The east cross-cut in the Anal
gamated Extension from about the
100foot level has been following a
break in the lime. The face o
shows and has been in medium
grade ore for 10 feet. Some beau
tiful sulphides show in the floor of
the cross-cut near the face. This
apparently is the same formation as
shown on the surface in a large
cropping. Upon reaching greater
depth a large orebody is very liable
to be encountered. judging from
the conditions as now developed.
Manhattan Red Top
The shaft sinking in the Red
Top has reached a depth of 90 feet.
The bottom of the shaft is in
heavy blue lime, having passed
through the broken up limestone
which carried values. Steady work
has been kept up and although tho
footage made in the shaft sinking
cannot compare in speed with ma
chine drill work, as it has been all
hand work, and most of the time in
very hard ground.
Manhattan Dexter
Thre three sets of ~lessees operat-
ing OF the southern portion of the
Union No. 4 claim of the Dexter
are all busily engaged in extracting
ore. In each case cross lodges have
been discovered and high-grade
mill rock is bein hoisted. The UhI-
Fogle lease has now reached a
depth of 100 feet and is now stop
ing very rich ore from the vein
which yielded such high values IN
their recent mill run.
Manhattan Doris
The drill west from the Doris
working shaft is in a porphyry
ledge. and the face of the drift
shows considerable oxidation, car
rying commercial gold values. The
porphyry, as distance is gained in
the drift, is rapidly becoming silici-
fled and limestone with AN. accom-
panying vein on it's frontal may be
encountered shortly.
Manhattan Mustang
The winze to the west of the
shaft in the Train-Chase lease on
the Mustang has now demonstrated
that the last 40 feet carries high
values in sulphide gold ore. The
east winze shows in it's bottom that
the character of the high-grade ore
is changing into sulphides. AS fast
as the ore is mined 1t is sacked and
hoisted to the surface for shipment
to the smelter. Two shifts are en-
gagged in mining operations on the
lease. 1t is stated that the new
management intends in the near flu
ture to commence mining opera
lions in the old company working
shaft.
Manhattan Con.
The lateral work from the shaft
on the 30O-foot level has now
reached a point 10 feet east. The
drift has been running parallel
with the mud dixie. the strike of
the dixie being 70 degrees north of
east. The course of the drift was
changed in the last 10 feet being
run % degrees south of east. This
last course will bring the limo al
most directly across the mud dixie,
and should hit the ledge at it's near
est point to the shaft.
