The Bullfrog Gold Bar.

The men who recently took over the
control of the Gold Bar, better known
as the Hazeltine group, at Bullfrog, have
just returned from an inspection OF the
property. These were Judge w. "A.
Sherman, of the Sherman Gold Mines
company, J. r. Davis, Mr.. Brown of
Salt Lake and J. p. Lotus. The trip,
and the inspection of the property, the
Judge reports, was satisfactory-emin-
emily so. A single ledge Is to 40 feet
wide courses nearly the entire length OF
two claims-over 1900 feet. One thous-
end feet of this has been exploited and
at every point opened the ledge shows
free gold across the entire width. The
vein is splendidly defined, lying between
walls of rhyolite. and is so friable that
it breaks down under pick or hammer
without shooting. To test the ground
the party simply washed the ore with
out crushing in pan-and OF all the
paintings made along the ledge for 900
feet not one failed to show gold in
plenty. A re-sampling of all the cuts
and trenches was made by MIR. Davis,
which in every instance checked closely
with the former work-in some instances
exceeding the values first reported.
1t is not, the Judge says, a mine of
high sensational values. Shipping ore,
such as has made Goldfield the wonder
of the world, may never be found here
possibly nowhere in the new district.
But for big ledges, remarkable for their
size and strength, through which gold is
uniformly distributed, free from all
base-beautiiul gold that will mill in the
simplest and cheapest way-the Bullfrog
district may be safely placed among the
most important discoveries ever made.
Here will be established great mill
ing camp-there is plenty of water for
such purpose in the Amargosa; and
when this work gets under way-which
will be only matter of few months,
then Nevada will add another world
wonder to its list.
The Gold Bar people are planning
immediate anu cA.ens.ye work. Tney
are a strong combination, splendidly
financed. There has been no stock off
cred to the general public. Two blocks
of treasury, $1,000 each, were privately
subscribed for at once at zoe and Soc
giving cash treasury of $25, 600.
The stock is of course listed on the
San Francisco exchange in the interest of
the subscribers. But the corporation
will put no shares on the market.
Strife on the Montana-BullfrOg.
The strike on the Montana Bullfrog,
proDerty, which was noted in last week s
issue, assumes large proportions as de-
velopment work proceeds. After the
ore was encountered in the tunnel a
drift was started north and south from
the tunnel on the ore body. On Tues
day morning six samples taken from the
north drift showed average values of
over 500 per ton, the lowest assay re-
ceived being $lO6 per ton. As noted in
previous issue this ledge is the extern
sion of one of the Bullfrog Mining COM
pany's proven lodges which fact adds
emphasis to the Importance OF the late
developments.
keane.Wonder Extension Co.
The Keane- Wonder Extension COM
pany, new incorpora ton, is the owner
of five mining claims adjoining the
Keane-Wonder property for which Cap
tain DeLamar paid $l60.0O0. The prop
erty is located fifteen miles south OF
Bullfrog, on the State line, and has a
splendid surface showing. A ledge s
feet wide has been traced for distance
of 800 feet and for the work performed
pay shoot of 300 feet is indicated.
Twenty-seven samples were recently
taken from this pay shoot, the lowest OF
which showed a value of 1927 80 per ton
and the highest was $3.50 per ton.
The officers are Jno. S. Cook, president;
Herbert Cook, secretary and treasurer;
Thomas Keane, vice-president; and Dan
Driscoll, manager. These gentlemen
and Thomas Evans will constitute the
board of directors. A limited amount
of treasury stock will be put on the
market at % cents per share for the sale
of which Messrs. Jones and Borlini have
