NEW TELEPHONE LINE.
will Be Erected to Amargosa in the
Bullfrog District.

Bullfrog District.
II. III. Clark, general manager of the
Bullfrog Mining company and of the
Amargosa townsite, has returned to To-
nopah from San Francisco and announ-
ces that he lat once begin the con-
struction of new telephone line from
the Bullfrog district. He has arranged
to purchase the material from the Gold
field and Tonopah line that was used in
the construction from Sodaville and
Coaldale and thus no time will be lost.
No greater evidence of the confidence
felt by Mr.. Clark and his associates in
the Bullfrog country could be shown
and this confidence is shared by many
who have no financial interests in the
district. Senator w. c. Ralston, of the
San Francisco Stock Exchange, recently
returned from Bullfrog. He is very en-
thusiastic over the outlook, stating that
the mineralized area is very extensive,
strong lodges out,ropping in query di-
rection from the original discovery. He
was particularly impressed with the
showing on the property of the Bullfrog
Mining company, stating that the main
ledge is fully 900 feet wide and outcrops
from the discovery shaft to the top Of
Ladd Mountain distance OF 5000 feet.
He made no assays, but is satisfied from
the paintings that this is one of the best
properties ever opened up in Nevada.
On the strength of Senator Ralston's
report and the developments, stock in
the Bullfrog company is in strong de-
mand and has advanced to 4S cents per
share. Mr.. Clark states that under no
circumstances will any leases be let but
the whole net returns revert to the COM
pany and dividends be paid as soon as
possible. As the company is one OF the
most strongly financed in the state with
an enormous body of ore to go on from
the surface, the reasonableness OF the
above statement can be readily seen.
1t has been stated that the company
has ordered a mill This is not correct,
Mr.. Clark says, but the company Is
ready to put one in as soon as tests are
completed.
The Bullirog mine, which was the first
discovery in the district, has been incor-
porated under the name OF the Original
Bullirog Mines Syndicate. Work is
progressing on this property and the
men are busy sacking ore. The COM
pany has had many applications for
stock by wire and mail and the demand
for the stock is increasing daily.
The Bullfrog Townsite company has
the pipe on the ground and are develop
ing good flow of water from springs Il
little over mile back in the mountains,
which will be sufficient for a town OF
several hundred inhabitants. This wa
ter will be piped to the townsite and
ready for use in a short time.
The pipe has also been ordered for a
complete water system for the Alnar-
posa townste as well as for mills. The
postoiiice has been ordered for Amar
gosa and the Recorders office will be
located there also.
Many are headed for the Gold Center
townsite and lumber yard will soon be
started there. \ petition for IA post
office has been sent in, and lodging
house, grocery and general merchandise
store will soon be put in.
ID. Wiggers, the representative OF Geo.
d. Meiklejohn and associates, came to
Goldlield Sunday from the Bullfrog dis
trict to secure tools and other neces-
sary supplies for commencing work on
their property, which is situated about
three miles northeast OF Gold Center.
Samples from the property assayed
1921 go in gold and silver.
Ben Hazelton, is sacking ore and
will soon commence to ship and ac-
cording to our informant, the vein on
this property pans for over 1900 feet.
The values are found in blue quartz.
j. NJ. Wilson was in from Bullfrog
last week. He has eight promising
claims in the district and has had assays
as high as $25.6O
