Judge " r. Hoggatt of Denver, A. G..
Cushman OF Seattle and G. II. Elliott
were among the recent arrivals from the
southwest goldhelds. Their reports are
equally as optimistic as any that have
been brought from that section. Mr..
Cushman, who, by the way, promoted
the M MontanaTonopah of TonOpah, has
informed THE News that the properties
on Ladd Mountain-particularly the
Bullfrog Mining company's, Patrick
Camp and adjoining groups, are making
one of the most remarkable surface
showings he has ever seen. That side
of the mountain, he states, appears to
be one immense mineraliZed dyke.
Some very rich pay shoots are embraced
in this belt that contain great quantities
of shipping ore. After having made Il
careful examination Mr.. Cushman ex-
pressed himself as being firmly con-
vinced that the district is destined to
become one of the great mineral pro-
ducing areas of the state and nation.
While in the district Messrs. Elliott,
Hoggatt and Cushman purchased the
Hardscrabble fraction, containing ap-
proximately Is acres, adjoining the Bull
frog Mining company's group. A com

frog, will be incorporated and the acre
age extensively explored and developed.
Assays have been secured from surface
prospecting up to $4,000 per ton; a
sample across several feet of the ore
body gave returns of $3.50 ton and
the owners are confident they have also
a big shoot of high grade-milling ore ex-
posed.
The following assays were secured by
Messrs. Donovan and Grady from a
group of claims they recently located in
