MANHATTAN'. Oct. 22. Monday morning, for the first time In
the history of this camp, the shrill, staccato note of a milling
plant whistle broke sibilant upon the air, the sound waves echo-
ing through gulch, canyon and over hill crest, and announcing
that steam wa6 turned on at the plant of the Manhattan Ore Re-
duction and Refining Company on Mustang Hill. The test of that
portion of the machinery connected up was thoroughly satlsfac-
tory to General Manager J. H. G. Wolf and his assistant, Mr.. Chal-
mers. The pulleys, shafting and other pieces of mechanism per-
formed their functions with the regularity of clockwork and
without heating or binding to any extent. Both Mr. Wolf and Mr.
Chalmers are elated with the success of the trial run and antici-
pate having the plant In readiness for treatment of ore by Noveni-

The initial run will be made on ore
from the property of the Manhattan
Consolidated Mines Company on Liti

ers' union in this citytonight, the strike was formally declared
off and ten men have asked Manager Taylor of the Western Union &

practically all operators who quit the service of tha Western

could be done results were sufficiently serious, as is abundantly
testified by the list price changes and by the volume of transac- "

many withdrawals following the plunging class of operators from
the market in recent months. The Btorm of liquidation raged in

in the case of Lawson vs. the United
States Mining Company, which was
decided ,by the United States Supreme

dollars' worth of lead ore.
The Wall claims were located on
lead filled fissure veins which cut th
