The report of footages and other
development and production work
for the past week is contained in
the report of the Manhattan Cham
Der of Mines, which follows:
In the White Caps the two
slopes from 301 and 500 raises are
supplying the ore for the mill, a
good mill grade of ore being
hoisted averaging $24 per ton. All
the receiving ore bins are filled
with ore and as the mine is ahead
of the mill with broken ore, the
past few days of this week has
been devoted to odd jobs Of repair
and cleanup jobs about the foul
levels.
From the 800 level stump being
put in to obtain a supply of pure
water fer household purposes "a

taken. From the fourth level raise

medium grade and raise 400 made
20 feet for the week in ore. This
is new work started this week.
A new raise has been started
from 403 raise into the hanging
wall of the orebody known as 401
raise all in good grade ore. From
the fifth level the only work prose-
cuted this week has been 80 feet
ADDED to the sos west cross-cut,
out ninety-nine feet. The mill has
been down for two days due to a
shortage of crude oil used in the
mill for fuel for rooster.
This shortage came about through
the requisitioning by the U. S. gov
eminent of a large number of oil
cars. The cars have now been re-
turned though and a supply of oil
has reached Tonopah and is being
freighted over so that the mill will
Immediately resume operations.
The joint working shaft of the
Extension and Zanzibar companies
is still in the Morning Glory lime
stone. A depth of 372 feet has
been made in the shaft and same is
fully timbered throughout. Due to
the exceptionally hard ground en-
countered the rate of progress has
slowed down to some extent.
, Manhattan Consolidated
In the Consolidated the weeks
work has been devoted mainly to
proving up the great east Orebody
from the fourth level. The ledge
has been drifted IN to the west
from the point where cross-cut. The
Mud fault which determines the
west limits of the orebody was
encountered which brings the west
ern end of the ore to a point 1916
feet east from the shaft. The ledge
has been proven by the original
cross-cut to be "a feet between
hanging and footwall.
The next feature of the work is
to be a drift east along the footwall
OF the ore. When the eastern
limits are defined of the ore, the
next work outlined by the manage
ment is to sink the working shaft
for another lift, to develop the ore
from the 5O0-foOt level or deeper.
Eliminating the high grade punches
OF picture ore found through the
east orebOdy it is figured that the
average value of the ore from hang
ing to footwall where it is develop
ed is $50 per ton.
Five hundred pounds of the speci-
men rock has already been sacked
and after the entire ledge is devel-
oped from the fourth level it is in
tended to make a shipment of the
high grade to Selbys. An addition
al orebody has been proven during
the past week south from the shaft
from the third level. This ore vas
cut in the south cross-cut at a point
about 800 feet distant from the
shaft.
1t undoubtedly is the downward
extension of the Mushett orebody,
which yielded so highly near the
surface. The ore is found in a
series of pipes or pockets. In the
cross-cut three feet of ore has been
uncovered which averages from SIS
to $40 per ton. The new change
room has just been completed for
the benefit of the Consolidated en-
ployes. Some improvements have
also been made in the hosting ma
chinery, a new set of gears and
pinions beins installed on the hoist
and hoist motor
