left the mine loaded with ore for Las
Vegas. A telephone message received
yesterday from Bullfrog states that ship
ments will be continued regularly and
that the average value of the ore already
shipped and being shipped is easily
$500 per ton. This ore came from de-
velopment work alone, no stopping hav-
ing been done. The ore is consigned to
the smelter at Salt Lake and the people
of Bullfrog are anxiously waiting to
learn the smelter returns from the first
lot.
United Bullfrog Mines Co.
One of the recent important deals is
that consummated by V. B. Leonard for
the United Bullfrog Mines Co., whereby
that company acquires by purchase five
promising claims in the Bullfrog district
viz, the Comstock, Hillside, Washing
ton, Mayor and Tonopah claims, situated
about two miles northeast of the Mont
gomery property, and about one-half
mile above the new town of Crystal
Springs. No assay has been made on
the ground secured by this company
that runs less than $4.6O, and those
made run from this amount up to $24
per ton in gold. Active development
has already commenced on the property
and it is believed that body of pay ore
will be opened up within short time.
The United Bullfrog Mines Co. has been
organized with capital of 100000
shares, par 81, of which one-half have
been placed in the treasury to be sold at
10 cents share, for development pur-
poses. James F. Mitchell, formerly
manager of the January mine at Gold
field, will be the president of the COM
pany; Hon. John w. Henney, founder
Of the Henney Buggy Co., of Freeport,
ILL.,, vice-president; Volney B. Leonard,
manager of the Nevada Prospecting and
Mining Co., of Goldfeld, secretary; Nye
4 Ormsby County Bank, treasurer. The
above officers, with William A. Mar
shall, p.- of the Farmers State
dreetoi - ! This coalpais. boast As
strong directorate as may be found in
the district, and under the able man
agement of Mr.. Mitchell, the company
should soon take rank among the prom
inent enterprises of the Bullfrog district.
The consideration for the property was
$4,000.
Bullfrog Belle Mining Co.
This company is incorporated under
the non -assessable laws of Arizona, with
capital of 100000 shares, par value
being 81 90 share. The officers are
w. ID. Lawton, d. Wiggers, Albert
Brady, and the Tonopah- -Goldfield Trust
Company trustee and transfer agent.
The property consists of four claims
fully paid for, located in what is known
as the Bullfrog mining district and
about one mile east of the Amargosa
river. There are three we'll defined
lodges running through the claims with
strong outcrops, which can be traced on
the surface for more than 700 feet in
length. The ledges have well defined
walls OF schist and altered lime rock,
forming true fssure and average on
the surface from to 6 feet in width.
Samples taken from different points
on the ledge, of claim number three,
gave assays of $4,000 to $4,000 ton in
gold. This showing makes the Bullfrog
Belle one OF the leading properties of
the Bullfrog district. The claims OF the
Bullfrog Belle lie together in one group
on steep hill. The geological form
alton being identical with that of Ladd
Mountain, where the now famous Bull
frog and National Bank mines are To-
Gated. One of the advantages OF the
Bullfrog Belle is that its mines can be
worked by tunnel and the ore can be de-
livered to the mill on the Amargosa
river, only one mile over good road
with down grade. Extensive develop
ment work will soon be commenced and
owing to the favorable working condi-
tions, it will not take long to put this
property on paying basis.
