swimming plunges, ice plants and every

The common opinion of the competent
mining men who have visited the dis

famous camps far behind, and will be a
great camp for years to come.

BULLFROG DISTRICT

Il. G. Mcmahon of Bulfrog, who has
been reported as missing and probably
lost in Death Valley, has turned up safe
and sound and is spending few days
ia Fonopah. In conversation with
BONANZA representative yesterday Mr..
Mcmahon spoke Of the Bullfrog district
Is follows
The Bullfrog district, which has occu-
pled the attention Of the mining world
for one year, has beyond doubt estab-
lished itself as one Of the richest and
most permanent camps Of modern days
Ledges that outcrop along mountain
after mountain for a distance Of from
hundreds to thousands of feet that will
carry good values, is what attracts the
eye Of practical operator and although
1ch small veins win cause more excite
ment and build up a town quicker, it is
The large quantities Of low grade ore
mat form the permanent camps
Bullfrog district has the large ore
bodies, and with the new water and
power systems they can be handled at
q handsome profit.

trlets and walking over Bonanza Noun

these veins on the surface carry but
small values, generally from 81 to s4
per ton and that at a depth of a few

richer A noticeable instance being the
Hobo Fraction, part of the Eclipse

NEWS FROM THE
OUTSIDE CAMPS


NAdiNA AA0Ni.
Gold Reef, which is district just
southeast of Gold Mountain, is attract
| ing considerable attention at the pres
ent time, owing to the repeated strikes
of free gold lodges The principal
claims are owned by Grimes and Dough-
erty. The ledges are in a porphyry
belt running from Tonopah to Goldfeld
and trend northwesterly and south
westerly. The formation is some three
/ hundred feet in width and all of it pans.
On each of the five claims are ledges
that prospect well. Recent assays
from one claim called ''Toggery No. 2"
were as follows: Assay No. l, 28 ounces
in silver and 2.94 ounces in gold, from
surface rock. Assay No. 2, taken from
8 feet below the surface, ia ounces in
silver and 1872 ounces in gold. Assay
No. 3, 1873 ounces in silver and 1851
ounces in gold, five feet from the sur
face. Assay No. A, II ounces in silver
and 20.09 ounces in gold, at depth of
8 feet. At THAI point there is a solid
body of ore one foot wide and the ledge
matter between walls is three feet, the
balance of the rock between walls
showing Sc. rs per ton
Adjoining these claims on the east
and northeast comes a group of three
claims owned by Wheeler, Travers and
Brissell, which are showing fine pros
poets and bid fair to become very valu-
able with further development.
1t is promising section and within
radius of three miles there are likely to
be opened up several great producers.
4 The Gold Mountain-Gold Reef district
+ is certainly one of great promise. Just
beyond Gold Reef is Klondyke, for
which section James L. Butler was
headed when he discovered Tonopah.
o. A, Turner visited the district this
week and was so impressed with it that
he made big offer for several Of the

DIsosEYs MOTHER; SAVES LIFE
Six Year Old Girl Rescues Lineman
From Peril.

Omaha, Aug. 9.-While playing on
the roof of a hotel building, contrary
to her mothers instructions, six-year-
old Mamie Wilson saved the life Of
Harvey Donald, a lineman working on
a swinging scaffold, six stories above
the street.
Donald, hearing the child's footsteps
on the gravel roof, looked up and in
doing so discovered that the iron hook
which connected his swing with the
pulley block had slipped almost out
Of the ring.
A pun of wind to sway the rope the
fraction Of an inch meant death.
Afraid to move, Donald waited until
he again heard the child's footsteps,
and after several attempts succeeded
in attracting her attention to his peril.
Acting under his instructions, the lit
tie girl got a broomhandle and struck
the hook, driving 1t back into the an
Choir ring.
