Greater BuIltrog Company.


The Greater Bullfrog Mining Com
pany of Nevada has been incorpor-
ated by well known business and min
Ing men Of Tonopah for the purpose
OF developing recently acquired
property consisting Of five full
claims lying close to and in the di-
rect trend OF the mammoth ledge on
the well.known Montgomery prop
erty, from which such phenomenal
values are being obtained. Immense
ledges OF quartz lying in porphyry
formation cut through this property
and while no large values occur on
the surface, the opinion of prominent
mining men who have examined the
same is that at little depth a large
body OF pay ore will be opened up.
Assays from the groupings, running
from S.. 40 to $40 20, would indica te
a big increase in values as depth is
obtained The presence Of white
tale, which has SO far been respon-
sible for the big values on the Bull
frog and the Montgomery properties
leads the owners of the Greater Bull
frog to believe that it is the exten.
sion OF one OF these famous mines
The many years Of exposure to tht
elements has eached the surface
groupings, which of course will bt
done away with as the property il
opened up and depth is obtained
