What the recent discoveries made
in the White Caps, Manhattan Con-
solidated, Morning Glory, Union
Amalgamated and other properties
mean to the camp of Manhattan can
not be overestimated and it is safe
to say that Manhattan is on the map
to stay, and that the investor will
welcome an opportunity to deal in
Manhattan securities, which, repre-
senting the companies that are
working from the White Caps prop
arty clear down the gulch nearly
and south of the gulch, have the
same chances of developing big
bodies when development work at
greater depth has been carried on
that the sensational White Caps,
Manhattan Consolidated, Morning
Glory and nearby properties have
demonstrated.
White Caps Extension
The manager of the White Caps
Extension, o. McCraney, has just
returned from a trip to Goldfield,
for the purpose of purchasing ma
chinery for the mine. A. Hendry &
Bolthoff No. 4 electric hoist was
purchased, capable of sinking to
1900 feet depth. A 40-foot head
frame was also obtained and other
necessary machinery, including
transformers, etc.
Manhattan Morning Glory
The installation of the 4n-h. p.
electrict hoist at the collar of the
Morning Glory No. l shaft has been
completed and the shaft sinking is
being prosecuted without cessation.
A depth of $50 feet has been
gained in the shaft, with most en-
couraging developments noted.
The shaft has been sampled each
days as the rounds are made there
in, and values are steadily disclosed
with each days work, the last as
say taken from the shaft bottom
shows an average of $3.50 in gold
content.

s~tallation is about complete and
as soon as the necessary air pipe
reaches the mine so that machine
drills can be utilized in the shaft
sinking a very material increase in
the average depth made each day
will be in order. The developments
as shown in the No. 3 shaft of the
Morning Glory, being sunk for pros
pecting purposes, has reached the
sensational stage.
The present depth in the shaft is
40 feet. AS previously mentioned
in these reports, this shaft is close
to the White Caps west side line,
and is situated about 100 feet
northeast from the No. l or main
working shaft of the company. For
the past 10 feet in the shaft pay ore
has been encountered, with consider
able calcite showing in the hang
ing wall.
