MANHATTAN DEVELOPING
continued From Page ona,.

high-grade punches. The cross-cut
on the third level to develop the
downward extension of the Consoli-
dated highgrade ore body is now out
a distance of 90 feet and the face is
in soft shale, having passed through
the quartzite reef.
This indicates the immediate prox-
unity of the ledge, as the shale is
the direct hanging wall of the ore,
the vein making into the limestone
footwall. The management announc-
es hat the shaft sinking is to be
resumed within ten days, as the east
ore body has been sufficiently de-
veloped to prove its value and prob
able tonnage. A pocket for the Dem
ing triplex pump is to be cut back
from the third station, and a stump
will be built into the floor of the
station, and then the station pump
will be brought down from the sec
ond level and installed.
The sinker pump will handle the
water found in the shaft sinking and
pump to the third level and there the
flow will be handled to the surface
by the station pump. 1t is intended
to sink the shaft with all expedition
to the fourth level, to be 100 feet
below the three.
Manhattan Morning Glory
No. 3 shaft of the Morning Glory
has now reached a depth of IS feet,
and the values found during the
shaft sinking are as strong and cor
sistent as ever in the bottom of the
shaft. The aIu run from sis to
$40 per ton from bucket samples.
The gasoline hoist owned by the
company has been installed at the
shaft collar and an air line has been
lad from the main working shaft
M a jackhammer drill is utilized in
the breaking of the ground in the
shaft.
The man operating shat. of the
company has reached a depth of
175 feet. The shaft bottom is still
in limestone and values are found
the same as during the past week, of
81 to Sc bucket samples. An inter
esting feature on the Morning GIcry
is the surface work close to the
southern boundary of the claim. A
strong quartz cropping has been un-
covered with streaks of calcite show
ing.
White Caps Extension
The machinery for the White Caps
Extension is arriving on the ground.
A No. 4 Hendrie and Bolthoff hoist
with 40 h. p. motor will be immedi-
ately installed. This hoist came
from the Goldfield Booth and has
been used in sinking the Booth
shaft. 1t is adequate for sinking to
700 feet.
A large water tank has already
been put up and a water line from
the White Caps is laid. Five In
gersoll jackhammer drills have been
purchased and are in use in the
shaft sinking. A Chicago Pneumatic
Tool company type GCB compressor
has been purchased from Aurora and
has reached Manhattan. This com
pressor is a b~elt-driven three-stage
compressor of 314 cubic feet capacity
and will furnish air for operating six
drills.
The company shaft has reached a
depth of IS feet and will be discon-
tinued until the installation has been
completed of head frame, hoist, etc.
A 40-foot head frame is on the
ately. None of the building lumber
has as yet been delivered at the
mine, although a supply of mine tim
bers has been received.
Union .Amalgamated
The footage for the week in the
Amalgamated is as follows: From
the 600-foot level the east drift has
been advanced 46 feet. a total dis
lance of 81 feet from shaft. The
west drift advanced II feet, a total
of $50 feet. East drift from No. 6
cross-cut west, three feet. The
weekly footage totals &C feet. The

east drift, as due to considerable
water flow encountered it has been
deemed advisable to push the work
forward as rapidly as possible.
The past 20 feet in the east drift
has bee in hard silicified shale, car
rying iron s~ulphides. This formation
is evidently the easement rock
against the Earl fissure. This fissure
should be encountered with but a
few more feet of drifting, and the
Swanson ore bodies should then be
struck in about 80 feet further work.
The west drift is in low-grade
quartz and a fissure vein will short
ly be reached in extending the west
drift. The No. 6 north cross-cut
from west drift shows considerable
lime spar in face carrying low-grade
