MANHATTAN DEVELOPING

serve to show some of the prospec-
tive value of the stock. From the
surface or 1OO-foot level there re-
mains broken down from the ledge,
in the slopes, approximately 5000
tons of ore averaging SIG per ton.
or a total of $4,000 gross value.
From the first level to the third,
there is 200 feet of vertical dis
lance. On the second level the
orebody averages 80 feet in width
and IS feet in length with aver
age values of $14 per ton.
The slope of the ledge is SO de-
grees, which would produce about
260 feet slope distance between
levels for the ore. For the pur-
pose of making this estimate, it is
presupposed that the orebody on
the third level has the same di-
mansions as on the level above.
Although entirely too conservative,
the estimate of the values on the
third level is placed at $50 per
ton.
With these figures is shown a
block of ground, containing $685.
cubic feet to one ton shows a ton
mage between levels of $1,000 tons.
The average values of the second
and third levels is put at $22 per
ton, which shows a gross value in
the block of ~$1,122,00O, and by
the addition of the broken ore al
ready mentioned, it shows a ton
mage in sight for the east orebody
to the third level of $4,000 tons
worth $1,2O2,OOO in gold content.
From the developments in the
White Caps, the great increase in
the orebodies shows to be from the
third to the fourth levels, which is
as deep as the White Caps ores
have been exposed. The ratio of
increase in the White Caps east
orebody from the third to the
fourth level is from a quarter of
a million dollars worth of ore in
round numbers showing from the
second to the third, while from the
third to the fourth, the orebody
shows over a million and a half
dollars in sight.
If a similar ratio of increase is
found in the Consolidated ores, and
such is very likely to be the case,
as the orebodies are identical in
nature, deposition, etc., and not
ove 1900 feet separate in direct
line. it means that the Consolidated
orebodies may well be classed with
the richest in Nevada.
Union Amalgamated
The footage made in the Anal
gamated for the week ending July
4th is reported as follows: 60O-foot
level, east drift advanced 81 feet,
total distance from shaft, 4O1 feet;
west drift, 20 feet, total, zoo feet;
No. 6 north cross-cut west, 20
feet, total 33 feet. Total footage
for week, II feet.
Morning Glory
The No. 1 main working shaft
VI Nv Nhoi ing ololJ hoo hO"
reached a depth of $50 feet, the
past weeks work having added 10
feet. During the week, samples
taken during each days work have
run from $5.40 to $3.50 in gold
content. The No. 3 shaft from it's
present depth of SO feet, is hav-
ing both east and west drifts ex-
tended on the ore recently develop
ed. The last assay taken in the
bottom of the shaft, a picked sam
pie from across an 1S-inch streak
of ore, assayed 5000 in gold.
The installation of the new ma
chinery has about been completed
with the exception of air pipe for
ventilating the underground work
ings and motor for operating a
fan; when the ventilating system
is in place, the Morning Glory will
be quite up to date with mine ma
chinery, hoist, compressor, etc.
Manhattan Red Top
The week has been employed at
the Red Top in grading and max
ing preparations for the installation
of the new three-drill air COM
pressor which is due at the mine
shortly. The lateral work from
the water level in the Red Top has
been advanced about 10 feet dur
ing the week.
