BULLFROG MINES

A meeting of the Bullfrog Yolo Min
ing company was held in this city Mon
day, all of the directors except Senator
Hunter being present. Harry Ander-
son, president of the Nevada Bank of
Reno, who is president of the company
and who made the trip here especially
to attend the meeting presided. 1t was
announced that the entire treasury
stock, comprising 400, 900 shares had
been taken by Mr. Anderson and as
sociates thus giving the company a big
treasury to develop the property with.
7. M. Fahy was appointed superinten-
dent and he was instructed to proceed
with the work at once. The Bullfrog-
Yolo ground adjoins the Denver prop
erty on the west and has splendid
chance of becoming a rich mine. The
directors of the company are Harry
Anderson and A. G. Fletcher of Reno,
Senator Thomas Hunter of Elko, and
j. G. Ford, C. R. Ford, j. T. Wheeler
/ etIlu Hl. VI IOuDDdil.
Supt. Darcy has completed surveys
and profile maps of the Denver work
ings. This is certainly splendid mine
and will become one of big producers
of the Bullfrog district.
William Duke, of the well-known
brokerage firm of William Duke & Co.,
of Cleveland, Ohio, representing the
Ohio -Bullfrog Mining company, has
purchased from the Cushman, Elliott
Brokerage company, of Rhyolite, prop
erty on the north end of Bonanza
Mountain, says the Bullfrog Miner.
The claims are known as the Snowflake
and A. T. fraction. Before leaving
Mr.. Duke contracted for 500 feet
of tunneling, to start within Is days.

recently taken went 46 per cent lead
LEO ounces in gold and II ounces in
silver. The formation found in this
lease is almost identical with that found
in Wade and Maunsell's lease on the
same property, and whose side lines are
only eight feet from the formers shaft,
but there is decided variance in metal,
one running high in lead and low in
gold while the other carries high gold
values with practically no lead at all
Recent developments in block 8 of
the Daisy, which is being operated by
Willis Lawrence and j. l.. Mcmahon,
have uncovered some strong lodges and
if the present indications continue the
owners will likely realize some good re-
turns at an early date. The ledge run
ming through the Lafoe lease also
traverses the lease owned by these gen
tlemen, and at depth of 80 feet a
.crosscut was run to the south and this
same ledge tapped. A crosscut has
also been run to the north from the
same level, and at distance of so feet
a number of small stringers were cut
from which shipping values have been
secured. 1t is thought that these small
stringers will lead to a big body of ore.
A four foot ledge of ore, carrying
$l05 to the ton in gold, was encountered
in the Lynch and Lyons lease on the
Great Bend property near DiamondfelG
last week. The new find was made in
the face of the 40 foot crosscut from
the 20 foot shaft

Raw.


M. M. Makeever of New York, who
arrived in Tonopah Tuesday, visited
Ray Wednesday and inspected the
workings of the Ray Consolidated, in
which he and his brothers have the
controlling interest. This property is
a consolidation of the Ray and O'Brien
and the Ray-Tonopah companies.
The main shaft is down 600 feet and
the drift from the 600 foot level is in as
feet The vein here is six feet wide
and the pay streak of Ia to 18 inches
on the hanging wall will go about $136
to the ton, mostly in silver and lead
values. This makes splendid fuxing
ore. The shaft will be continued to a
depth Of 1900 feet.
Mr.. Mckeever speaks in the highest
terms of the Mogul mine, which he
says is bound to become big producer.
President Priest, who is also general
manager, has tunnel in over 400 feet
and will run in about 300 feet more to
tap the big rich ledge that outcrops on
the surface. The Mogul is splendidly
equipped The machinery is all new
and up to date and comprises a 40 horse
power steam hoist, air compressor
pewer drills, etc. Work is being prose
cuted with vigor and the Mogul will il
a short time become shipper

Cash Boy.

Alex Wise, one of the directors of the
Cash Boy property, arrived in town
from Battle Mountain Monday Mr..
Wise was one Of the pioneers Of Tono-
pah and though now back in his old
home, where he is a prominent business
man, he still has valuable interests in
this camp which is near and dear to
him. The most valuable property that
he is interested in is the Cash Boy.
which is one of the coming mines Of
the camp. 1t adjoins the Golden
Anchor on the west and the Little
Tonopah on the southeast. The shaft
on this ground is down one hundred and
ninety feet and the formation Is now :.
purple tale, with good Indications Of
striking the ledge that trends from the
Tonopah Extension property.
Samuel Crosby, the superintendent, is
doing splendid work and the new hoist
is running like clock work The Cash
Boy is certainly one of the best prospec.
tive properties in the Tonopah mining
district. The directors Of the Cash Boy
company are Walter J. Harris, Eugene
Howell, L. A. Blakeslee, H. j. Hum.
phreys, A. G. Fletcher, A. Wise and NJ.

CLIFFORD IS A
PROMISING SECTION

Parties returning from the new strike
in the Clifford district near Stone Cabin
say that it is all that is claimed for it
and that good mining camp will be
openedup there. Fred Antoniazzi, who
with Henry Cutting, Andy Evana and
Joseph Bricca owns ten claims adjoin-
ing the Clifford strike on the west, says
that the district is conner. He has
had assays made from rock taken from
various sections of the district and they
all give returns of between SO and $40
to the ton. Mr.. Antoniazzi says that
the ledges are covered by the wash and
that they outcrop about every 500 feet
for over mile southeast of the Clifford
ground The trend of the lodges seems
to be northwest and southeast.
The surveyors have arrived to survey
the townsite and as soon as the work is
completed the lots will be put on the
market
James Gleason, pioneer mining mar
and prospector of Tonopah and mar
who thoroughly understands mining il
all Of its branches, also returned from
the strike this week and says that il
covers the best mineralized section Of
Nevada. He got good Mornings from
the strike and also from the Ho
Springs ground, northwest.

Senator Oddie has received the news
of big strike in the upper tunnel of
the Denver 1t is claimed that the
ledge, which is about a foot wide gives
assay values of $3.50 to the ton and
shows every evidence of permaneney.
No. 2 tunnel is looking fine and ore is
being broken in the winze that will run
from $3.50 to $3.50 to the ton.
The first lease on the Montgomery
Mountain Mining company's property
has been secured by j. F. Mitchell ct
al and it is believed that the ct al are
Malcolm Macdonald, John McKane and
Donald B. Gillies. Work on the lease
win be prosecuted with vigor and great
things are expected of it.
A ledge of ore carrying good values
is being opened up on the Elkhorn at a
depth of rs feet.
The Gold Bar continues to improve
under the able management of Mr..
Davis, who made such success operat-
! ing on the Sandstorm at Columbia.
The great Montgomery--Shos
mine continues to improve every day
and as soon as the bothersome litiga-
tion is disposed of, the owners con-
template the erection of big milling
plant at Beatty. The mine is now
opened up by 1000 feet Of workings.
The big ledge is about sixty five feet
wide and the ore is of a very high
grade milling value, but there are many
small leads with values running well
into the thousands.
A company was Incorporated in Tono-
pah Monday to operate five choice
claims adjoining the Gold Bar property.
The name of the new corporation is the
Bullfrog Gold Bar Annex Mining conn
pany and the officers are: James H.
Forman, president; Newton C. Fassett,
vice president and Herbert B. Gee,
secretary. Hank Knight and Jack
Nancy are also interested.

Max Junghandel, who went two
weeks ago on prospecting trip through
the Kawich range, visited Clifford's
camp, Eden, Bellehelen, Golden Arrow,
Silver Bow, and expects to return to
Tonopah next week, He writes to the
BONANZA from Clifford, under date of
November 9th, as follows:
Though hardly two weeks have pass
ed since the strike on Clifford Hill was
made, sacking of ore has already begun
and would be pushed energetically if
not for the lack of ore sacks. Strikes
Of other locators are reported daily,
the last one was made yesterday by
Clarence Marsh on claims about two
miles north of Clifford HILL The ore
is looking and panning like that found
on the other locality which fact indi-
Gates that the mineral belt is far more
extensive than at first supposed The
camp is growing rapidly, two saloons
are running, a general merchandise
store and boarding house are in course
of construction, a townsite has beer
laid out by w. S. Mincrah, Surveyor
W. V. Richardson, w. A. Koyne and
others and lots are selling well at
SlOO. There is every reason to hope
that Clifford will make a good camp at
a pace more rapid than any one of its
predecessors.

RICHLEDGES FOUND
AT MANHATTAN

Bob" Stewart and "Billy" Douglass
returned from the Manhattan district
this week and are loud in their praise Of
that section. The many leasers are
hard at work and considerable good ore
is being extracted.
Mr. Stewart is interested with Char
ley Humphrey in lease No. 6, from
which shipment was recently made
that gave big returns Another ship
ment viii be made in the near future.
The ledge on this rich lease is four feet
wide at depth of thirty-fve feet.
County Surveyor Bell came in from
Manhattan Tuesday and is elated over
the bright prospects for the future Of
that young camp He tells of a sensa-
tional strike made on the Smith prop
erty, which is situated about one and a
half miles southwest of the Humphrey
Saylor property. The ledge was uncov-
cred on the surface and will average
$1,000 to the ton for the width of two
feet. At depth Of 10 feet it main
tains its width and values. 1t is GER
tanly wonder. Fifteen leases have
already been let on the property and
there is great excitement in Manhattan
over the find. Mr.. Bell says all of the
leases on the Humphrey Saylor ground
are looking fine, especially Nos. 6, 8

and 9. No. Sis owned by Bob Stewart
and Charles Humphrey and ore that
will go $1,000 to the ton is being sacked.
This ledge improves with depth. Nos.
9 and 9 comprise the Toggery lease,
owned by William Grimes, Fancher
Bros. and DR.. Davis Of Tonopah. On
this ground a new ledge has been un-
covered on the surface which is full Of
leaf gold. 1t is certainly very pretty
specimen ore.
Bert Kopenhover has a shaft down
SO feet on his property and high grade
shipping ore is being extracted and
sacked
Philbrick, Bradford and Howard Burr
have uncovered a four foot ledge of
good shipping ore on their ground, sit
uated about one mile southeast of the
Humphrey-Saylor ground. The shaft is
down twelve feet
w. J. Duvall came in from Manhat-
tan yesterday and announces that he
will construct three stamp custom
mill on the Humphrey-Saylor ground
at once.
Billy" Grimes returned from the

SILVER PEAK IS A
GREAT DISTRICT

M. M. Makeever of Makeever Bros.
of Boston, Chicago and New York, who
arrived in Tonopah Tuesday, left. for
Silver Peak yesterday to inspect the
Mcnamara mine on which his firm has
an option The Mcnamara is a splen-
did property and was under option to

Bros. was obtained from the heirs,
who reside in New York. Mr.. Makee-
ver's present visit is for the purpose
of inspecting the property before clos

his experts that there is at least 25,
600 tons of good fluxing ore on tn,
dump and he has every reason to be
lieve that in the McNamara, he has
great mine.

All of the above are well and favorably
known local people with the exception
of Messrs. Garbutt and Hall who are
prominently connected with Los An
geles capital. The Justice -Goldreef Co.
is organized under the laws Of Arizona
and the incorporators have for some
weeks past been actively engaged in
developing the property, which consists
of the Justice group of claims in the
Goldreef country just beyond Gold
Mountain and about seven miles from
Tonopah. The work Of the Justice
Goldreef company will be watched with
much interest by many who are inter-
ested in that section and from all sur

plant is to be put in operation at once.
The mine never looked better and the
mill is grinding away night and day on
ore that averages about S35 to the ton.
Mr.. Klamt says there is great activity
at Silver Peak and that a great many
people are doing the annual assessment
work on their properties,
Messrs. Hobbs, Curtis andN Campbell
of the Nevada Light and Power Com
pany visited the Peak this week and
selected the site for the sub-station of
the company, choosing ground adjoin-
ing the Mohawk-Alpine mine. Work
on it viii be started at once.
Silver Peak is to have electric lights.
This is certainly splendid news for the
prosperous camp. The transformers
are now on the road somewhere from
the East and upon their arrival and in
stallation the wires win be strung and
Silver Peak will enjoy the benefits of a
! tirst-elass, up-to-date electric light
system.
E. w Thomas Of Philadelphia, owner
Of the Palmetto group, visited the prop
erty this week and will probably begin
active work on it in the near future.
Work has been commenced on the
