BULLFROG MINES

C. r. Miller, T. L, Oddie, T. W..
Miller Barton Hopes, H. Chickering
and F. A. Keith, formed a party of
Tonopah mining men who came to
Bullfrog Saturday night in an auto
The gentlemen, nearly all of whom are
heavily interested in mines in the dis
trict, were looking over the Eclipse and
other prominent properties in which
they are interested, Sunday One of
the main objects of the visit of the
gentlemen to the district at this time
was to find a suitable location for a
mill, for the treatment of ore, which is
to be erected in the very near future.
1t is understood the site selected is
just above the Gibralter on the south
slope of Bonanza mountain. A water
pipe line will be built from the Petty
ranch, few miles north of Beatty, to
the mill. From the latter point pipe
line is also contemplated across the
valley to the Hieks-Leavitt property on
Furnace creek, which is also con-
trolled by Senator Oddie. This will
necessitate the building of a water
pipe line nearly 30 miles in length. 49,
Bullfrog Miner.
The new six-horse power gasoline
hoist for the Steinway arrived Friday
and men We're put to work at once
getting the heavy machinery in place,
says the Bullfrog Miner. Pending the
erection of the hoist, work in the drift
will be suspended. The drift, which is
being run northeast from the bottom
Of 70-foot shaft, is expected to cut a
contact ledge Of rhyolite and porphyry
in about 20 feet. AS soon as this ledge
is prospected sinking will be resumed
and the shaft taken down another 100
feet when another station will be cut
and drifts run from that point. The
Steinway intends to thoroughly de-
velop their property and as the big
veins found in that locality trend in
their direction, the management are
confident of striking a large body of
pay ore. James Meighan and Starr
and Dulfer of this city are interested
in the Steinway.
A whim has been installed on the
Montgomery-Polaris. The shaft is
down 80 feet in good milling ore run
ming from $25 to $40. The drift to
connect with the Montgomery -Shoshone
shaft is in 100 feet, The rich tale ledge

Mountains of Ore.

Literally mountains of ore rise above
the valley at Indian Springs three miles
northwest of Beatty and now show on
the surface from 49, 10 to $40. Practi-
cal engineers say it would be possible
to quarry this ore out and keep a 100
stamp mill running with 25 men. The
ore could be trained to an ideal mill
site quarter of mile below In Cal
ifornia and other camps nothing better
would be wanted. In the Bullfrog dis
trict, the handling of this ore must
await the coming of railroads and cheap
fuel. Water in great abundance is
already here. T. l.. Oddie, Bob Mont
gomery, Malcolm A. Macdonald and
H. H. Clark control practically unlim-
tied supplies of water in the Amargosa
valley. There is water enough now
developed at the mill site at Indian
Springs, owned by Mr.. 0ddie, Fred
Luetjens and Jesse Christensen to run
a 20 stamp mill.

The Johnnie District

A. E. Thompson, an old-time resident
of Good Springs, owns the Chiquita
group of four cloims, located about one
and one-half miles from the Nevada
Keystone in the Johnnie district, and is
considered one of the richest gold prop
ositions in southern Nevada, says the
Los Angeles Herald. Samples last
month from a three-foot face of the
drift at the l50-foot level gave values
of los ounces in gold to the ton. Other
assays from the property have giyen
values from 500 to $40, 600 to the ton.
The mine is being developed under
bond by Salt Lake parties, who con-
template the erection of a ten-stamp
mill This property adjoins the old
Chispa mine, now known as the Con-
gress, which is owned by George Bart
lett, James /. Butler and Harry

Of the latter runs into the Polaris, with
500 feet between shafts.
Supt. j. H. Lester has started new
work in three places upon the Eclipse
ground. About $50 feet west of the
Hobo shaft new shaft has been started
on ledge of manganese quartz that
shows fine paintings at depth of only
II feet. The quartz will be followed
on an incline. The shaft is about half
way between the much-talked-of Hobo
shaft and the original Eclipse shaft.
Surface work is also being done above
the Twirler and on ground adjoining
the Tramps to the south.
While waiting for the arrival of the
gasoline hoist at the Original Bullfrog,
Foreman H. H. Estes is doing further
exploration work on the tunnel level
and making raise to the surface at a
point 450 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel. The raise will have vertical
depth of 65 feet. This will give three
openings to the surface from the tun-
mel The quartz deposit exposed in
this property is 700x84x80 feet, repre-
senting a block of ore containing 4, 704, =
600 cubic feet. Figuring 10 cubic feet
of ore to the ton, the block contains
36, 1888 l2 tons and if the values will
average $50 ton throughout, the
amount of ore in sight in the mine to-
day, is 81, 10S,O05.

Bullfrog Miner last week.

LONE MOUNTAIN

An enthusiastic meeting of the prop
erty owners of Lone Mountain was
held at the office of ]. w. Langley last
Tuesday evening The attendance was
large and much enthusiasm was mani
tested.
An organization was formed to be
known as the Lone Mountain Miners
Association and officers were elected
as follows; c. H. Reynolds, president;
d. c. Smith, vice-president W. j.
Stoneham, secretary, and Wallace Nc

Lone Mountain is a great silver and
lead district, and the owners of prop
critics there intend to bring it to the
front by sending out information to the
public.

owner of the Mohawk-Alpine mine,
spent most of the week in Tonopah.
His company certainly has mine
in the Mohawk Alpine. The mil
on the property is grinding away night
and day on ore that will average over
$50, and as the expenses are small the
profits are large. The company owns
4,500 linear feet of the apex of the

Two of the richest strikes ever made
in Nevada. were made this week in
Goldfeld on the Reilly lease on the
florence claim and on lease No. 6 of
the Sandstorm. On the Sandstorm,
ore was encountered in the cross cut on
the 300-foot level. 1t was a vein vary
ing in width from two to ten inches,
which easily goes SIS, 200 to the ton.
The streak, which is of tale, gives
every indication of widening as work
progresses. Tho lease on this ground
expires today.
v. c. Gorst has sold one-half of his
one-tuird interest in block 3 of the
Booth claim to George Holesworth.
The consideration could not be learned,
but It is presumed to have been in the
hundreds This lease has the earmarks
of mine and the owners will spare no
time or money in developing it.

years might be proud Of has been es-

inches to thirty feet. The ore is a
quartz carrying free gold and sulphides
of lead and iron.
Anaconda T0nOpah.
Work on the Anaconda -Tonopah at
Lone Mountain was resumed this week.
A force syveral men have been put
to work and as considerable ore is in
sight the ore will be raised to the sur
free y 4dy for shipment upon the com
pletiDn of the Goldfeld railroad. The
main shaft will be sunk several hun
dred feet deeper and the vein opened
up every so feet This property was
recently examined by a prominent
silver-lead miner who pronounced it
about the liveliest looking prospect he
had seen, and predicted that Lone.
Mountain would become as famous as
has Bingham, the largest proc ing
district in the state of Utah. W..aslf for
many years was opened up through
tissure veins, similar to those Of Lone
Mountain, and at depth developing into
some of the greatest copper and lead
mines of the present time.

week, asking them to place a price on
their property or at least 80 per cent.
of their stock. Yesterday he received
reply from Tom Evans, which stated
that the mine was looking better than
ever and was not for sale at any price.
This was formerly known as the Work
man and Davis property and was

OUTSIDE CAMPS
LOOKING WELL
Ray.

Ray.
The Toledo Tonopah mine at Ray,
formerly the Ray Extension, is looking
fine at toe present time. A short time
ago ledge was encountered in the
cross-cut 'on the20O-foot level and ore
from it is now being sacked for ship
ment. Arthur Kunze is the efficient
manager of the Toledo. President
Priest of the Mogul leaves for San
Francisco next week to superintenc the
shipping of the machinery and a years S
supplies for the mine. The property
looks well. The ledge recently cut in
the Toledo-Tonopah, runs into the
Mogul. A carload Of lumber arrived
yesterday for the mine and additional
buildings, such as boarding house,
ETC., will be erected at once and upon
Mr.. Priests return, the force of men
employed will be greatly increased.
Silver Bow.
Dan Fitzpatrick, mayor of Silver
Bow, arrived in town Wednesday
night from that young but rapidly
growing city and is enthusiastic,
though very conservative, in referring
to it's possibilities. He says the lease
on the BlazieI ground is proving to be
extraordinarily rich and assays of S971,
S2l10 and $4,000, have been obtained
within the past ten days. This lease
will undoubtedly make its owners
wealthy men. The McCarty and Ker-
man lease on the McGonogill property
is another one that is showing up
splendidly. The whole camp is pros
porous and the mines, or rather pros
poets, are improving as depth is at
tanned.
Ida
Ida district is again called to the
front by the report of big strike on
the Willow Springs group of claims,
owned by R. l.. Prouty and associates,
the discovery of ore that it is said will
average more than 5000 across six
foot ledge encountered at depth of
fifteen feet in prospect shaft, and Mr..
Prouty is the happiest man in town in
consequence.
