New Bullffos Company.
Judge v. T. Hoggatt and associates of
Denver, Colo, have purchased from
"Lige" Harris and partners a group of
II claims that surround the Lonsway
property near Amargosa and have or
ganized the Lige Harris-Bullfrog Min
ing company, which will take over the
property and energetically develop it.
There is splendid surface showing on
the group, and although practically no
development work has been done fur
ther than the assessment, values have
been encountered in dyke of porphy-
ritic quartz of $32 per ton. In numer-
ous tests taken there has not been a sim
gle one that did not show assay values.
The companyi is capitalized for 81 SOC, 900,
with a treasury reserve of $50, 600 shares.
Judge Hoggatt is president, and Mr..
Moffitt treasurer. Vigorous develop
ment work will be commenced at once
and prosecuted in systematic manner.
The location and showing warrant the
expectation of opening up big mine.
Lige Harris, who located the claims, was
one of the very first prospectors in Bull
frog and secured several groups of claims
in the district in the immediate vicinity
of the richest mines there. He has
prospected in Nevada for nine years and
in other western states for the past 25
years. He declares tnat the Bullfrog
district makes the best showing for its
age Of any section he has ever been to.

Der consigned to Rhyolite from Ogden

II feet, with shoot of rich shipping ore.
