News Brought in Yesterday
of Rich Strike on the Stray
Dog-Road Between Tono
pah and Manhattan Alive
With Automobiles.
Manhattan is helping those who are helping to boost her
more than any other agency. News of another strike reached
here yesterday and it was another big one, in 'line with the
- strikes which have been bringing the camp into the public eye
for the past week. The new strike was on the Stray Dog, and it
is said that a ledge has been opened there from which assays of
$1200 have been taken. ' .
There is a nice record for the past
week. First, we had the strike on
the Cram-LaLime lease on Union No.
4 on last Saturday, with ore that
went from $500 to $700 a ton; then
came the big find on the Douglass
Kendall lease, which went $1300 to
the ton. Following this came the
discovery of $500 ore on the Rose
Nash lease adjoining that of the
Cram-LaLime lease, and now we have
the strike on the Stray Dog.
That is not all. Word was re
ceived here yesterday that an assay
had been taken for eight feet of ore
on the Rose-Nash lease, and it re
turned $50 to the ton clear across.
The road between here and Man
hattan is alive with automobiles.
There were three machines went out
from here yesterday, and one from
Goldfleld. It is beginning to look in
the northern camp as it did nearly
two years ago, when In the cold De
cember, teams were plodding through
the mud and snow, with people at
tracted by the reports of the finds in
that camp. It was quiet enough then
in this country, for there was noth
ing doing here, and a cannon ball
sent through the streets of Goldfleld
would not have hit anyone.
Billy Bond, of the Goldfleld firm
of W. F. Bond & Co., was in San
Antone when he heard of the finds in
Manhattan, and he slipped out at 4
o'clock with his team and made for
the camp. It looked good to him
and he got. hold of the Annie Laurie
claim, and then went back to Gold
fleld as fast as he could and dis
played the ore that he had. taken
back with him. He had ore from the
Annie Laurie, and from other prop
erties in Manhattan, and he went
every place the night of his return
to Goldfleld, and the result was that
before morning there was a proces
sion of vehicles of all kinds on the
wav from Goldfleld to the new El
Dorado.
Tonopah, in the meantime, was
well represented in the camp, and
the men of this city were busy In
the work of development. They had
located nearly everything, and the
men from Goldfleld were not slow in
tradine with them. The boom was
started in the middle of the winter
and buyers. were eager for properties
which were covred with snow.
Manhattan was then in no condi
tion as she is at present, Today she
is a proven camp, with mills almost
completed, with thousands of tons
ready for the mills, and with a great
amount of high grade ore as well
Fred- Brown went out to the north
ern camp yesterday, returning in the
afternoon.' He saw the assay of the
Rose-Nash lease.
- "Things are certainly stirring in
Manhattan," said Mr. Brown, "and
she is going to be a hummer. - Percy
Nash himself told me of the assay,
find asked me to deliver the message
to my brother, Hugh.' That is cer
tainly going some. Then think of
Stray Dog. They have thirteen sacks
ready for shipment, which will go
$1200 a ton.
"When the mills are up we will
see wonderful changes in the camp.
The Annie Laurie claim of the Man
hattan Company, has been doing
great work in the matter of block
DStHlES
NEW
ing out ore, and she has tons upon
tons of it which will go from $20
to $30 a ton. The Yellow Horse is
down about 100 feet and is in some
very rich stuff. On a lease on the
White Caps they are sacking ore.
"There is a great deal of activity
in the camp and there has been a
great deal of travel to and from there
since, these strikes have been going
en. We met four machines on the
road today, three from here and one
from Goldfleld."

COMPANY IS GETTING THE HIGH
GRADE TO SMKLTKIt
KAPIDIiY.
Silver Bow, the latest camp of the
big strikes is making some of her
neighbors pale by comparison, for
she is already a shipper.
The second shipment from the Cat
lin property has been settled for by
the Western Ore Purchasing Com
pany. This was a shipment or sec
ond class ore, which went about $S."
a ton. There were twenty tons ship
ped in all, and the returns were
$1479. The first shipment was of
sixteen tons and it netted the com
pany $2002.56.
, .The company is not only going
after the ore, but is getting the high
grade to the smelter as fast as pos
sible, for they are the kind of men
who believe in getting the money out
of the ground as fast as it can he
hoisted and sent to the smelter.
Teams are going after more ore, and
another shipment may be expected in

main good. ' The Catlin group was

yesterday. Bonds were easy. Total
