Mr.. Kernick reports that the work
at the Hasbrouck is going ahead at
a good rate Of speed and the forma-
ton is becoming more encouraging.
1t is calculated that the work will
have to be driven $50 feet further
before reaching the point where
the main lode of the property is
expected to be encountered.
The East Divide Mining company
is within a short distance Of the
main strike as shown by the Tono-
pah Divide, and appears to have a
formation similar to the o~re-bearing
formation developed in the latter
property. At the present time the
company is prospecting to ascertain
the best place to sink the shaft.
Other properties in the district,
such as the Gold Wedge Divide, the
Divide Extension and several groups
controlled by individuals, are COM
ing in for the usual share of atten-
ton. The first payment has been
made on the Gold Wedge Divide
and the company has been complete
ly organized, with Charles Kielhofer
acting as manager of its mining op-
erations. With a view to facilitat-
ing work, the shaft Is to be enlarg-
ed to accompaniment size and the
shaft sunk to greater depth.-Tono-

the cross-cut to the last progressed
within the shale, just below the
wide zone of quartz extending along
the shale's surface and coming from
the west vein. The shale here was
shown to be highly silicified, great
iy broken and recemented with pull
verified quartz, while at many
places this material was found to
contain quantities of iron pyrite and
some copper.
Particular interest now attaches
to the opening up of the ground on
the 19O0-foot level at the point
where the main vein comes in con-
tact with the shale, as in the opin-
ion of mining men the conditions
here will be most favorable for the
presence of secondary orebodies of
great size. With the resumption of
driving to the east on the 1900-foot
level it is estimated hat only a
short time will be required to reach
this point and extensive lateral de-
velopment will be carried forward
on this level within the main vein.

sui in developments of great import
ance, as this work will reach the
lowest point of the valley or depres-
sion in the shale's surface in this
part of the district.
Development work elsewhere has
borne out the theory that second
airy enrichment has occurred at the
lowest points of depression in the
shale's surface and these points arc
now regarded as offering the most
likely places to find orebodies of
value. In view of these conditions
it is believed that important oppor-
tunities are offered in the territory
between the Grandma shaft and the
Kewanas boundary.

levels, the 200, 800 and 400, and
on intermediates, has placed in sight
a substantial tonnage of excellent
mill ore, while additional ore of
good grade has been exposed in
prospecting on the Starlight claim,
at a point some 400 feet distant
from the main shaft. The Star
Light shaft is to be sunk to greater
depth and a drift on the 3OO-foot
level of the main workings is be-
ing extended along the main May
flower vein toward this shaft, with
which it will eventually connect.
The Pioneer Consolidated Mines
company is now undergoing re-
organization and it's stock is to be
made assessable, in order to raise
lands necessary to properly work
the mine and mill. 1t became neces-
sary to close down the property
about a year ago when the Nevada
California Power company discon-
linued it's electric power service in
this part of southern Nevada, at a
time when the company's mill was
producing bullion and when the
mine was showing a good tonnage
of excellent mill ore. The Pioneer
mine has made a production of gold
in the past estimated at we'll rel
100000.
Upon resuming operations on the
Pioneer property it is the plan of
Manager w. J. Tobin and his asso-
ciates to sink the main shaft to
greater depth and to explore the
main o~re-channel on deep levels.
The shaft is now down about 425
feet and the principal production
las come from above the 350-foot
level. Orebodies opened in the past
have been of large size and uni
formly good value and operaliis
expenses of the company through
out the long period of work IA
been exceedingly low.

a touring car from a garage. The
car was recovered in a damaged
condition. One of the boys was re-
leased on $500 bail and the others
are being held in the jury room in
the court house. AS the boys have
been in trouble before they will be
dealt with severely this time and it
is understood they may be commit
ted to the state reform school.

size have been opened, but the most
important developments were in the
earliest period of the camps ac-
tivity, when the Loftus-Davis lease
produced a fortune in bonanza ore,
the greater part of which was ship
red by freight wagons to the mill
at Sodaville.
So inefficient was the process
used in treating this ore hat it is
said some of the tailings contained
as much as $1,000 per ton in gold.
1t is believed that the property still
contains good possibilities for the
opening of orebodies of commercial
value and that the work of lessees
is likely to produce further impor-
tant results.

MINES OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE Development


Steaolly DIMINISHING ana at present
the pumps are being employed in
handling the water for IL hours each
day. The flow is estimated to be
about 80 per cent less than when
first struck.
Although the weeks footage dur
ing the recent shaft sinking period
has been reported each week, a sum-
mary of the work shows that under
the supervision of Mark Page, the
mine superintendent, a rate of speed
in the work has been kept up that is
notable.
The time used in sinking the shaft
from the third to the fourth level,
a distance of lis feet, was % days,
and included in the work was not
only the shaft sinking and timber
ing but also the installation of air
and pump pipe lines down the shaft.
From the fourth to the fifth level, a
distance of lis feet, the shaft was
sunk in 81 days, the extra time be-
ing used in crossing some very hard
ribs of quartzite with the shaft and
also due to the fact that the shaft
bottom was so much farther from
the surface.
The fifth level is a vertical dis
lance of 52S feet from the surface.
Below the fifth level just before the
flow of water was struck which
drowned out the shaft temporarily a
section of the fine-grained black
limestone was crossed, the limestone
being heavily m~ineralized and carry
ing some gold values. 1t is consid-
cred likely that a new orebody may
be in existence just below the lime
stone belt, especially likely due to
the developing of the heavy water
flow from just below the limestone.
After the east orebody has been
explored from the fifth level, it is
intended to run a cross-cut north
from the shaft and develop this same
block of limestone from that level.
After crossing the limestone the
same flow of water struck in the
shaft sinking will undoubtedly be
developed and will be handled by
the Deming triplex station pump to
be installed at the fifth station.
This will almost certainly cause the
cessation of the water flow in the
shaft, as the flow always follows
certain defined stratas, and then it
will be a much easier proposition
to carry the shaft down FOR one
more lift.
Union Amalgamated
The work in the Amalgamated
for the week has been mostly ore
extraction for the mill. Some de-
velopment has been carried forward
both from the bottom level and
from the $50 level of the Earl work
ings. The mill is handling about so
tons per day, and with the improve
ments made in the mine equipment
and ore-handling arrangements, this
tonnage is brought to the surface
with ease.
White Caps Extension
The southeast drift from the 400
foot level of the White Caps Extern
sion has been extended &c feet FOR
the week and the drift is now a dis
lance of 81 feet along the footwall
of the limestone belt being follow
ed. The eastern end of the lime
stone belt should be reached in about
a further distance of 90 feet. Sew
eral calcite and quartz stringers have
cut.

pany.
Red Hill Florence
Work of the Red Hill Florence
company has been largely directed to
extending raises above the 400-foot
level and to work near the surface,
in order to prove up the position of
the apex of the vein in which high
grade ore was discovered some time
ago on the 400-foot level. Manager
Kendall reports the property to be
in good shape, with r of shipping
grade in sight and a considerable
quantity already stored at the sur
face in readiness to ship to the
sampler. 1t is said that this ore will
be shipped in the near future and
that a production of considerable
value is assured from the deposits
now in sight between the 400 and
500 levels.
Silver Pick Cons.
DEVELOPMENT work continued on
the 250-foot level, where many good
assays have been secured in exp1or-
ing the large zone of quartz that has
been found to contain large quanti-
ties of low-grade material. 1t is re-
ported that the company will proceed
in the near future to sink it's main
shaft, now 100 feet deep, to a
depth of about 1900 feet.
Great Bend Mine
Interest now centers in the new
work at the Lockhart shaft, near the
east end of the property, although
regular shipments are being made to
the sampler from the main slopes on
the 100 and 250-foot levels. The old
lease shaft is being unwatered and
has been equipped with a first-class
mining plant. The water is being
rumped to the connecting drift on
the 25O-foot level, where it flows
by gravity to the main shaft. Rich
ere was taken from the deeper
levels of this shaft in the early days
Of the camp and these levels will
soon be reopened and extended.
ReOrganized Blue Bull
Manager Darcy is extend
ing the main drift on the 250-foot
level to cut the rich ore-shoot upon
which a winze was sunk 70 feet
from the 100-foot level and which
yielded ore of bonanza quality in the
Wine. The deeper drift was found
to be in bad condition at some
places, but it has been repaired and
is now being advanced to reach the
ore-shoot, which probably is with
in considerably less than 100 feet
from the face.

(From Manhattan
White Caps Mining Company

Nn1fe OADS Akhlh COMPANY
The event of outstanding import
ance in the White Caps mining OPP
erations during the week has been
the opening up of the shaft orebody
from the bottom level of the mine.
The west cross-cut from the fifth
level is now out from the station a
distance of 46S feet and for n
mast three months the ore close to
the footwall has been exposed. Tne
din of the orebody has flattened a
great deal since developed from h
fourth level.
The three rounds above mentioned
has now exposed the ore for about
one-half of the face of the cross-cut.
Immediately upon hitting the ore
the work has been changed to drift
along it. 1t has been developed so
far for about 20 feet in length. TAX
ing into consideration the slope dis
lance between levels, the present
work is proving the ore with known
backs of 22O feet for stopping.
On the fourth level the shaft ore
body carries an average width Of 80
feet between hanging and footwall.
The values where the ore was first
struck from the fourth level gave
assays of s13 and SIT per ton. The
values of the ore just exposed for
three trench samples across the ore
gave assay returns of $1,000, $14
and s3O.4O, making an average of
$3.50 for the three samples.
The fact that the orebody was
struck much closer to the footwall OF
the limestone belt than the ore has
been proved from the level above
simply serves to show that in all
probability the orebody is of much
greater extent than above; especially
is this to be expected when it is
considered that the work in the east
orebody has proven the same condi-
ton to exist. These new develop
ments are of the utmost value in the
matter of proving up reserves of
ore.
After the shaft orebody has been
completely developed from the fifth
level, if it proves up to expectations,
in all probability the management
will Immediately start on a plan for
the doubling of the mill capacity.
Other mining work has been in the
extending of the 504 raise which is
now up a distance of 100 feet from
the fifth level, all in ore and near
the top of the raise especially good
ore has been exposed. Ore for the
mill has been taken during the week
from slopes 301, 3O2, 400, 504 raise
and SOC stope. The same average
tonnage has been handled in the mill
as for last week.
Manhattan Consolidated
The weeks work in the CONSOLE
dated has carried forward the south
east cross-cut from the fifth level
out to a point 1876 feet from the
shaft. The past week the work has
been through a hard, close-grained,
dark blue quartzite which has delay
ed the footage considerably. This
quartzite reef will not be found to
extend more than 10 or Is feet
farther and the formation then to be
crossed will be a soft shale and then
the speed of advancement will be al
most doubled.
The strata of shale extends about
60 feet and then the limestone which
is the footwall of the vein should be
struck. The water flow is still

AGAIN
IN BONANZA ORE
FAMOUS CAMP IN NORTH PRO-
DUCING HIGH-GRADE
MATERIAL


A shipment of 166 pounds of high
grade ore, valued at $4,000, was
made yesterday through Wells Fargo
G. Co., by Carl Stolfelt, who Is in
terested in a lease on the National.
The ore was sent to the Selby COM
pany to be reduced to bullion. Thls
shipment was taken out during the
past few days and other shipments
Of this extremely high grade ore
are to follow, for the same rich
GRE is still being extracted at the
property.
Mr.. Stolfelt is interested in the
lease with Sam Watkins, who is
experimenting the work that is be-
ing done there at the present time.
Mr.. Stolfelt, who returned from
the Bonanza camp Wednesday, stat
ed that he was in the workings when
the rich shipment was taken from
the ledge, and says that a large
part of the ore contained o gold
than quartz. Some of the pieces.
he said, contained streaks or rib
bons of almost pure gold.
The opening of this high grade
gold ore is a reminder of the palmy
days of National, when the property
of the National Mines company was
producing in quantity the richest
gold ore yet found in the west.
The famous National vein has
produced many millions and from
the high grade ore that is now be-
ing extracted it looks as If h for
mer bonanza property was coming
back.
The claims comprising the Ma
tional Mines company's holdings
we're located by j. L.. Workman and
Lou Davis in 1907. The discovery
of picture ore, which gave the mine
its fame, was made by George and
Frank Stall in the exploration of
their lease, when over 100000
in ore was extracted in a compare
lively short time. After the expira-
ton of the Stall brothers lease the
property was opened by the present
company and it is estimated that.
the total production of the mine is
in the neighborhood of 100000.
The ore was SO rich that the
value was estimated in pounds.
Some of the ore taken out was
worth as high as 500 a pound.
Robert S. Bolam, who vas superb
intendent of the property during it's
big production, has stated that in
six and a half hours, with only one
miner as a helper, he took out
$2S7,OOO worth of high-grade ore.
\ specimen shipped to the office of
the National Mines company in Chi
cago weighed 1876 pounds and was
worth $91.27 a pound.
Mr.. Bolam has recently been re-
appointed superintendent and has
charge of the property at the pre-
SEM time.
A number of leasers are working
on the National Mines company's es-
tate and other shipments of high
grade ore may be looked for any
time.-Humboldt Star.
