NEWS FROn BULLFROG.
Prospecting Continues With Eost
Encouraging Results.

Nearly 200 people have been to Bull
frog of late and all tell the same story
of big groupings and wide lcdges which
prospect unusally well. With the num-
Der now there and constantly going in

pected and many finds made.
That thorough prospecting is neces-
sary is shown by the experience OF jim
Coleman. He prospected for several
hours and getting ocolors in the pan, did
not locate it. 4 few days later he came
back and found the ledge located by
Clark, Benson and Ladd. They had
gone to the other side Of the ledge and
for a width of 10 feet can pan coarse
gold in large quantities.
Judge Ray, Darcy and Sutherland
have two groups of claims and have
gotten very fine paintings.

a splendid one and will be called Beatty.

A "Jumper" Moves.

A regular meeting Of the Property
Owners Protective Association was held
last Monday night ut Elliotts hall. 1T
was reported that a German had
Jumped lot, promised to get on,
and afterwards refused TO do so. The
committee was instructed to make an
other call on the gentleman and induce
him to move peaceabty. tuesday after
noon this was done and in little while
the German decided it was his move.
The association is determined that 1T
will not allow property to be taken IRON
its rightful claimants, nor will bioed
money be given up, and the sooner this
is recognized the better it will be for all
parties concerned. Ii a camp follower
has right to squat and claim a lot IN
the outskirts of town, he has just as
much right to squat in front or back OF
ones residence or store and claim title
to the ground not actually covered by
the building. The next meeting OF the
Association will be held in Elliott's hall
next Monday night at 80 o'clock

Biz Strike On Clerm0nt.

One of the big strikes of the camp
about which little has been said on the
streets is that made Tuesday in the
Price and Currie lease on the Clermcnt.
The lessees have been prosecuting from
the 5O-foot point in the shaft and had
gone through the ledge for 80 feet, an
average assay across which showed val
ues of $32 per ton. On Tuesday thcv
broke into a rich streak which goes from
$500 to 5000 per ton. Paintings from
selected specimens indicate values going
into the thousands, but there is quite a
body that will average above $500. The
ore previously encountered would make
an average high grade milling product,
but if this rich streak holds out, the les
sees can make steady shipments. The
Clermont is owned by the Jumbo Min
ing company.

A panning which the writer has seen
exceeded but twice was made Tuesday
from ore taken from the lease of Lewis,
Richard. Douglass and Jackson on the
st. Ives. On Thursday another one
was made from different portion OF
the same lease which easily discounted
the one made on Tuesday. The last
one was from depth of 20 feet in the
shaft and the rich streak is about 10
inches wide. The first is from a new
shaft, feet deep, and the streak is 8
inches wide. Ore which is now being
taken out will go So a pound, and if the
shoot proves continuous as it has in
other mines in Goldfeld, the production
from the st. Ives will be phenomenal.
There are LOW about 200 sacks of ore TN
the dump. Not one will go less than
$500 per ton, and some of the sacks will
ASSAY up in the pictures.
