Alleged Claim Jumping.

There is said to have been several
cases OF attempted claim jumping re-
Gently and the indications are that trou-
BILE will result sooner or later If this con-
tinues. 1t is understood that in each
case the claim jumping has been on a
technicality of law. While the laws
laid down by the National and State
governments prescribe certain rules and
methods of procedure for the prospector
to follow in perfecting a location and
holding his claim, yet the decisions Of
the courts have almost invariably been
with the original locator who showed
good faith even though he did rot com
ply with every technicality.

HE STRUCK 1T RICH
L. v. Lonsway Hits 1t Big on Amargosa,
Near Gold Center and Beatty.

The richest strike yet reported from
the country about Bullfrog is that re-
Gently made by l.. V. Lonsway, who left
here with his wife for that section about
two weeks ago. They returned yester-
day and are showing specimens which
make ones mouth water, the particles
of visible gold being So large and plenti-
fnl. The strike was made on the left
hand side of the AmargoSa river going
down, and is but a half mile from Gold
Center townsite and two miles from
Beatty townsite. The main ledge Is
said to be fully $50 feet wide and can pc
traced for Il distance of 1000 feet in
length. Where the highest values have
been iouLd is near the junction OF the
main ledge and II cross ledge. The pay
streak is from q to 20 inches wide and
specimens will run way up in the thous-
ands. From present reports 1t looks
like one of the biggest surface showings
ever found. 1t is understood that Mr..
Lonsway has bonded the property for
$60, 900 to loungstown and Cleveland
capitalists, who are to pay spot cash, ii
they decide to take the property after
short examination. The owners OF the
Gold Center and Beatty townsites are
jubilant over this strike, as it brings a
mine almost to their very doors, and is
the first big strike made outside of Bull

The Original Bullfrog.

The Bulfrog group OF claims consists
OF three lode claims and two millsites,
on one OF which water has been found,
a considerable flow already having been
secured, and on competent authority it is
assured that plenteous supply can be
developed. This group OF claims is the
first located in the Bullfrog district,
and from which the Bullfrog district de-
rived its name. These properties have
been incorporated into IL company,
called the Original Bullfrog Mines Syn
dicate, the name "Origiual" being used
for the purpose of distinguishing it from
a corporation known as the "Bullfrog
Mining Syndicate" and which has no
connection whatever with this property.
The company is Incorporated under Ar
iona law for 100000 shares of the par
value of 81 each, stock all fully paid and
on-assessable; 300 900 shares of which
have been placed in the treasury for de-
velopment and working purposes. The
directors at recent meeting decided to
place upon the market 100000 shares of
the treasury stock at the low price Of
ten cents per share. All other than
treasury stock has been pooied.
The officers are J. w. McGalliars
president; Fred G.. Carlson, vice
president; Milton Nj. Detch, secretary
treasurer, and the above with w. d.
Frey, L. l.. Cross, Robert Lanka and
w. T. Voorhees, are the directors.
Considerable of this treasury stock
has been sold to citizens OF Goldtield and
only small block remains for disposi-
ton. \ number OF assays have been Sc
cured running over 81 900, and below we
give copy of a certificate made by a
leading assayer Of Goldfield from rock
recently brought from the property.
The ledge has been disclosed by Il series
of small trenches for distance of over
800 feet and we know the ledge to be
over 100 feet wide, and in many places
the quartz outcrops from 10 to 70 feet
above the surrounding country. The
company is now sacking ore and will
soon make a shipment, and in short

PROFESSOR J. +. SPygR.
Is Making Another Study OF the
Geology of G0ldfield.

Prof. j. +. Spur, the Government
Geologist who has madea II report on the
Goldiield district, is in camp fOr the
purpose OF conducting Investigations to
supplement that report. From what he
sees in the mines NJ depth he is now
convinced that the ore deposits of the
district were caused by thermal springs
and the logical conclusion of this belief
is that the lcdgcs and values will con
tlnue to IL great depth.
