Herein is the story of the adventures
Of his lordship's courier, known as
Nine. st. Jovite, on and after the night
of November II, 1913, in Upper Can

quite trustworthy, its writer having
been known to me these many years,
in the which neither I nor any Of my
friends have had occasion to doubt her
veracity. The writer gave more details
than IRE desirable, but the document is
nothing more than letter to an init

an eye for color and taste for de-
scription not easy to repress.

midnight. The mission was not all to
my taste, but the reward was hand

BULLFROG DISTRICT

Manager H. l. Moody is greatly
pleased with the fine showing on the
Lucky Jack property. The work Is
being done by contract and good values
will undoubtedly be obtained in the near

A highly mineralized quartz vein in a

on the Gold Hill Bullfrog property,
situated five miles north of Bullfrog

to all requirements. The shaft on this
lease is now down 80 feet and will be
continued to depth Of 200 feet. Cross
cuts will then be run.
A crosscut to the east will be started
at once on the Tabor lease on the Com
bination No. 2. This station has been
cut at depth of 175 feet and the cross
cut is being run to tap the ledge that
was cut at depth of 60 feet.
In the crosscut on the Cohen lease on
the February ground, some good show
ings are being made. The crosscut is
on the 80 foot level and the ledge mat
ter is becoming more compact. In
few more feet it is expected that the
ledge will be found intact.
w. L. Higginson and associates have
secured lease on block of ground on
the Gold Wedge claim of the Jumbo

started a shaft but few feet west of
the Red Top hoist. Mr.. Higginson

Leon M. Hall, the well-known min
ing engineer of Virginia City, has been
elected president of the Big Belle Min
ing company. There is considerable
ore in sight in this property that will
90 $1O0 to the ton and that from near
the surface. According to the Rhyolite
Herald, the company will build milling
plant and tramway mile and half
in length to transport ore from the
mine to the reduction works.
Two feet Of ore that viii run about
500 to the ton has been encountered
in the tunnel of the Happy Hooligan.
This property is located about 6 miles
west of Bullfrog and Curtis Mann, who
visited the property few days ago, is
elated at the showing. The values
occur in brown quartz mixed with
tale. Six men are now employed on
this property.
George Thompson and associates have
taken up their option on group OF
claims about half mile east of Beatty
and have paid substantial amount to
Mr.. Brown and the other owners. The
property has four foot ledge of quartz
and tale that was uncovered at depth
of 8 feet and shows values of from 500
to $126 to the ton.
The shaft on the Four Aces Com
pany's property is now down nearly lOC
feet and the ledge of porphyritic quartz
which was encountered some three
weeks ago, is still giving good values
At the 100 foot level station is being
established and crosscuts and drifts
will be run. The ledge is more thar
