LETTER FROM BULLFROC.

The readers of THE GoLDFIELD NEWS
will no doubt be interested in any news
of Importance that comes from the Bull
frog mining district, or any other min
ing district within 100 miles of Gold
field. Since i came to Bullfrog / have
visited the marvellous Montgomery
mines of which many big things have
been said and proven of this wonderful
property. The main drift is now in 125
feet on the vein and the ore that is be-
ing taken out is in a form of tale and
quartz and it is very rich in gold. The
day previous to my visit to this property
the Shoshone Mining company had
shipped % tons of first-class ore which
they claim would assay $1,000 per ton,
and without a doubt from the paintings
/ saw while on the property the ship
ment of % tons would easily assay all
they claim.
l also visited the National Bank mines
and saw an exceedingly large body of
ore blocked out. At present this COM
pany is making a new road to the mine
for the purpose of getting their ma
chinery on the property.
The Ladd and Benson mine, which is
located close to the National Bank mine,
are doing considerable work and open
ing up large bodies OF ore, and they are
getting things in shape to make a ship
ment.
The Denver mine, which was recently
bonded for 800, 900, is showing up some
very rich ore and without a doubt will,
in the near future, make a dividend pay
ing mine.
The Original Bullfrog mine, under the
able management of Mr.. Pierce, is de-
veloping into one of the richest mines in
the district. Mr.. Pierce has got a large
force of men working; some sinking,
some drifting and others taking out rich
ore to complete a shipment which will
be made in a very short time.
The last but not the least is the Gold
Bar mine, formerly Hazelton, which l
visited some three days ago. In looking
over this wonderful mine believe this
to be one of the biggest mines in the dis
trict. Under the able management OF
Mr.. Reinhart this property, since the
first of March last, has been developed
into one of the richest mines in the dis
trict. The vein or ledge has been ex-
plored and crosscut for a distance OF
200 feet in length, with an average
width of IS feet. A careful sampling OF
this mammoth vein reveals 2 feet OF ore
tnaC Will average foUU per tOH anu ~
feet that will average from $40 to $3.50
per ton. At the present time MIR.
Reinhart has got men working on first
class ore and will oon begin to sack for
shipping. The new vertical working
shaft is now down 60 feet and have just
broken into the hanging wall OF the
ledge. | think Mr.. Remnants inten-
ton is to go down to the 10O-foot and
then crosscut both ways to the hanging
and foot wall of this phenomenal ledge,
and determine the full width of it. AT
the present time the Gold Bar company
is waiting for their machinery and they
expect it to arrive at the mine in a few
days. The Sherman Goldfield Mines
company of Salt Lake City, bought the
control OF the stock of this magnificent
property some time age and they GER
tainly used splendid judgment in getting
the control. To fully realize the pro-
portion and value of this wonderful
property it is necessary to go over il
very carefully and do your own
panning and selecting OF samples which
Mr.. Reinhart is perfectly willing you
should do, in fact you can get prospects
from any part of the property.
Yours truly, q
JAMES H. MUFFETr.
