MANHATTAN DEVELOPING

making an average of $42.70 for
the IS meet across the ledge. with
more ore still further in the hang
ing not yet uncovered. A sample
taken of the coarse hard rock from
the face of the drift on the ledge
gave returns of 1870 per ton in
gold content. This indicates that
the best average values are in the
hard ore in the ledge. 1t is the
intention of the management to
continue the drift on the ledge to
so feet and then to cross-cut the
orebody from hanging to footwall.
Additional work to the present
drifting consists of a south cross
cut started from a point in the
east drift on the 300-foot level 40
feet east from the shaft. This
cross-cut is now in Is feet and at
a distance of so feet should tap
what is known as the high grade
orebody, an orebody one of the
richest ever developed in the dis
trict, and has been stopped from the
200 to the surface. proving its con-
tinuity thereby.
Union Amalgamated
Footage for the week ending
July 10th is reported from Anal
gamated Mining company as fol-
lows: From 6OO-foot level, east
drift advanced SO feet; a total of
437 feet from the shaft to drift
face. West drift advanced 8 feet;
total west drift distance, 213 feet.
No. 9 north cross-cut, west, IL
feet. No. 6 north cross-cut, west,
s feet; a total footage made in
the mine for the week of 63 feet.
The above footage represents five
days work only. The east drift
encountered lime shale at the 800
foot point, and for 25 feet the
ground has been heavy, necessitat-
ing timbering. The face of the
drift is now in silicified shale and
should not give any further trouble
from caving. No. 2 cross-cut west
is following a break to pick up
the ore cut in No. 2 raise. No. 6
cross-cut is showing values in the

diate proximity of an oreshoot.
The west drift is now in low
grade quartz, and shows no mater
ial change from last weeks report.
White Caps Extension
What is probably a record for
shaft sinking speed has been estab-
lished at the White Caps Extension.
The three-compartment vertical
shaft, each compartment being Ak
Az feet in the clear, was lower
ed 20 feet in the first "a hours,
three shifts being employed. Jack
hammer drills are utilized in the
sinking and the ground is a soft
shale. being ideal for fast work.
The shaft has now reached a depth
of % feet and three sets of tim
bers are in place.
Fire carloads of mine timbers
and lumber for building material
have been received in Goldfield
and will be hauled to the mine as
oon as possible. so that the neces-
sary mine buildings can be built
and also lodging houses for en-
ployes.
Red Top Mining Co.
At the Red Top a pump station
is being cut, and foundations are
in place for the installation of
compressor. The cross-cut to the
east is being continued and 25 feet
from the shaft a change in the
dip of the formation has been
encountered and the drift face
shows considerable increase in
values.
Manhattan Mustang
A orebody has been exposed
on the Mustang, about $50 feet
south from the franchise lease
workings. A north-south cross fis-
sure in the schist has been de-
veloped from the surface which
assays across 2 feet showing $36
in gold values.
Manhattan Morning Glory
The operations in the Morning
Glory, while nothing sensational,
is reported during the week, con-
tinue to develop ore in both work
ing shafts. The No. 3 shaft from
which drifts are being extended
shows ore in the west drift, carry
ing high gold values. In addition
to the low grade ore demonstrated
in No. l main working shaft, a
new Orebody is being developed
near the southern boundaries of
the claim.
