The weeks operations at the
White Caps show steady work both
in mine and mill. The shaft sinking
has reached the 45-foot point below
the fourth level, with the shaft tim
bers all in place. So far no water
of any amount has been encountered
in the shaft. The lateral work on
the third level shows so feet of foot
age made for the week, with the
face of the drift in oxidized and
stained material, indicating that the
contact is being approached.
In the west drift, the early part
of the week was devoted to allowing
epa waters to drain out of the
country opened by the drift. In the
face of the drift, the ground shows
uniformity and apparently is out of
the faulted zone. The limestone
drag mentioned as having been en-
countered during the late drifting
work carried values of $12 in gold.
In 1.-The mill work, the rooster col
umn, shell and doors are in place
with riveting now progressing. 1t
will probably be six days before the
riveting is finished, rs 1000 rivets
have to be driven. The machinery in
the sand tank building is all in
place, with tanks, piping and pumps
all installed, complete and ready
for operation.
The mine ore bin, 200-ton ca
pacity, is in process of erection and
should be finished before the end of
the week. The excavation and ma
sonry for the installation of the
coarse crusher has been finished and
the crusher can be installed at any
time, the large belt conveyor struc-
ture is also nearing complexion.
The new wagon road to connect
with the Tonopah-Manhattan coun-
ty road at Pipe Springs has had 20
men employed steadily on construc-
ton during the week. From the
mine to the first summit, a distance
of $500 feet, the road has been
plowed and scraped, with the shovel
men now putting o. the finishing
touches.
Morning Glory
The working shaft of the Morning
Glory has now reached a depth of SO
feet. Steady work with two shifts
has been the rule. The shaft loca-
ton is on the lime and shale contact,
directly west of the White Caps west
ore-body. The gouge material upon
which the shaft is being sunk car
ries gold. AS depth is gained in
the sinking these values have shown
a gradual increase. With a few
more feet of depth made upon reach
ing the point where the ore bodies
in the lime belt are apt to be
tered the contact itself should be
showing ore of milling grade.
The company has sent out notices
to it's stockholders calling for a spe-
cial stockholders meeting, to be held
May 25 at the Tonopah office, with
the Southern Nevada Abstract COM
pany. The purpose OF the meeting
is to increase the capital stock to a
million and a half from a million
shares, the present capitalization.
Manhattan Cons.
The work in the Consolidated dur
ing the week has been devoted to
prosecuting, 40 feet having been
gained from the shaft. The cross
cut has peer extended through a
black lime shale, and this same belt
forms the hanging wall of the vein
in the upper levels of the mine.
The lateral work is proceeding

and OPENING RICH ORfBODIES

steadily and the only delay possible
will be caused from a heavy flow of
water from the vein itself. Although
such a flow may delay the work for
a day, the heavy Cameron sinking
pump is all prepared and ready to
drop into the shaft, to start draining
the stump. In addition to the sinker
the company has a Deming Axe tri-
pick electric driven station pump
ready to install on the level should
the flow of water remain constant.
The past few feet of the cross-cut
has shown numerous calcite string
ers, which may be taken as a sure
sign of the orebody being near at
hand.
Union Amalgamated
Although some delay has been ex-
perienced in drifting east from the
600 level of the Amalgamated due
to a heavy flow of water, still 16
feet has been added to the length of
the drift for the weeks footage, the
total length of the drift for the
weeks footage, the total length for
the east drift o being 1874 feet.
This distance is about the halfway
point from the company shaft to the
Earl orebodies for which the east
drift is being extended. The face of
the drift is in low-grade ore, and at
any time a blind ore shoot may be
encountered, as the values in the
vein are increasing as the face of
the drift advances.
The fissure vein is showing high
values. For the weeks work an av-
feet speaks we'll for the orebody,
one assay running as high as $712
in gold.
Union Amalgamated Extension
The company working shaft of the
Extension has reached a depth of 100
feet. At present drifting on a cross
ledge is progressing. This ledge is
at right angles to the limestone belt
which carries the orebodies and is
in the footwall shale.
Manhattan Red Top
The shaft sinking on the Red Top
has now reached a depth of IS feet.
The shaft bottom is in broken lime
stone, having passed through the
shale. The fines in the limestone
carry gold values which point to the
proximity of the orebodies for
which the work is being driven. Due
to the fact that the shaft is being
sunk by hand, the company not
having as yet installed a compressor
for operating machine drills, the
footage made each day is small.
Manhattan Dexter
The Union No. Nine claim of the
Dexter company is showing a e
impetus through lessees' operations.
The Jugl-FOgle lease is sinking on
the same grade of ore which consti-
tuted their first milling, over $50
per ton in the mill. The l%essees'
shaft has reached a depth of over
100 feet, and although the surface
water seeping into the shaft which
necessitated considerable bailing de-
layed mining operations to some ex-
tent the flow of water has ceased
and thaft sinking has been resumed.
The lease is operating on an entirely
new vein from the vein system which
has g:vcn up so many O n of nigh
grade mill rock in the past, the
Gin being a crOss-fissure almost
vertical. Two more lease blocks
have recently been granted. Man

CAPT. EDWARDS
HAS WILHELANA

There were several reasons why the
arrival of the Matson steamer Manoa
this morning was noteworthy. The
first is that Capt. Francis Nj. Edwards,
the youngest skipper of the Matson
fleet, is making his last voyage on the
Manoa
When he reaches San Francisco
again Captain Edwards will take COM
mand OF the Wilhelmina, whose pres
ent commander. Capt Peter Johnson,
will leave tomorrow for the coast on
his last voyage as the Wilhelmina's
master before taking command OF the
new flagship Maui.
Reason number two is that Jimmy
Jump arrived bringing a game fishing
launch with him, for his second sea
son Of fishing in Hawaii. Jump was
appropriately and loudly greeted
while the Manoa was lying off port at
quarantine.
The Manoa's steaming time from
San Francisco was 8 days and IA
hours. Her passengers were "a cabin,
cargo 1881 tons for Honolulu and 2103
for Kahului. Purser H. w D. Nc
KenZie and Chief Steward George Ber-
rie reported a fine voyage with plenty
OF social events.
At s o'clock Thursday night the Ma
noa will steam for Kahului. She will
leave at noon next Tuesday for San
Francisco.

Freight TEUP
LESSEACH WEEK

Mail advices received today by
General Agent Fl. E. Vernon of the
Santa Fee from San Francisco show
that congestion there of freight await
ing shipment to the territory is be-
coming less every week.
On January &c, a week ago, the
Santa Fe agent at San Francisco
wrote the Matson Navigation Com,
pany's main offices in that city as
follows:
I'VE are holding 40 straight car,
loads for your acceptance, eight Of
these arrived prior to January !, the
balance January l to morning Of 18th
inclusive"
Commenting on the above letter,
Vernon said today:
This shows a very favorable con-
dition, and if all goes we'll we may
say the congestion due to lack of yes
sci space from San Francisco is not
only thing of the past but that with
the Maui in commission March the
prospect of prompt transshipment
from San Francisco during 1917 will
be accomplished.
A personal letter received today by
a local shipping man from Capt.
Charles W.. Saunders, port superin-
'tendent of the Matson Navigation
Company, dated January 16, says the
company had on that date just about
cleaned up all the automobiles await
ing shipment to Honolulu. The let
ter also said that Capt. Saunders
thinks the Matson line will have Nd
difficulty taking care Immediately of
all freight on hand or coming on.
