The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-02-03

A message over the new telephone
line which is within three miles Of
Amargosa, tells of strike which was
made this week at Bullfrog by Judge
Ray which is said to be one of the big
gest ever made in the state of Nevada.
Full details have not been received, but
it is said that while the streak is small.
the values go over 100000 to the ton.
As the scene of the strike is surrounded
by many of the older and we'll known
properties of the district, it is of great
importance to others besides Judge Ray
and his associates.
Bullfros Mining Company.
A carload of rails, cars, steel, etc., has
been shipped from San Francisco to
Marvel and thence by wagon to the
Bullfrog's Mining company's property,
which shows constant improvement.
The tunnel is in 80 feet and the shaft is
down 40 feet. The latter is all in ore,
with neither wall of the ledge in sight.
Manager Clark announces that the
engineer who is to put in the water
works for the townsite of Amargosa,
will leave for there the first of the week.
He will put on gang of men and soon
have everything ready for the pipe line.
Dullfrog Southern n. q n. Co.
The incorporation of the above new
mining company to operate in the Bull
frog district has recently come to our
notice. The property Of the company
consists OF four claims and assays from
samples give most satisfactory results.
The directorate of the company is COM
posed of men who have all had large ex
perience in mine operating. L. M.
Long, president, has been for several
years chief engineer of the Board of
Public Works in Denver and has also
had experience in mining in New Mex
leo, Colorado and Alaska. Geo. Bertschy,
vice-president, is well known as thor
ough mill man and expert mine man
ager in the Dakotas. H. T. Hamilton,
secretary and treasurer, has been coal
mine operator in the Northern coal
fields in Colorado and has been actively
interested IN mining in other sections of
the country. A. c Adams, manager, is
well known in the Cripple Creek district
as manager of large mining interests.
At present he is manager of the Monte
yuma mine, this state. Work will be
commenced Immediately on the COM
pany's property and pushed with due
diligence.
Bullfros National Bank Company
Ten men will be put to work next
week to develop this property. A two
compartment shaft will be sunk and a
tunnel will be run. The formation of
this property is on the order of Column
bia mountain, although not quite so
large in area. The initial expense for
labor and supplies will be $1,000 per
month. Walter Smith, general man
ager of the Bullfrog National Bank Gold
Mining company, will superintend the
work. Mr.. Smith was reared on the
mother lode in California, and later
operated lease in Arizona, on gold
proposition, from which $84, 900 was re-
allied. He was also superintendent of
the Good Hope mine in Riverside coun-
ty, Calf.
The Mims-Sutro company has taken
over all available stock of the Bullfrog
National Bank Mining company. 1875
In From Beatty.
f. A. Montgomery, one of the pio-
neers of Goldfeld and Beatty, was up
from the latter camp during the week.
He reports the same encouraging condi-
tions as do others from that country
and shows his faith by investing in
more properties there. Mr.. Montgom-
cry says that just before he left an agent
ofthe Southern Pacific railway was in that
camp looking into the feasibility of put
ting in stage and freight line between
Las Vegas, on the Clark railroad, and
the Beatty and BullfrOg districts. The
gentleman was well pleased with those
districts and there is no question but
what the line will be put in and wells
sunk for water at convenient points. Il
The Shoshone Group.
What may prove to be the big mine OF
the Beatty -Bullfrog districts is on the
Shoshone group owned by f. A. Mont
gomery and T. f. Edwards, and located
two miles west of Beatty. The hill was
discovered by an Indian, who Mr..
Montgomery had befriended, but the
latter is the one who found the ore shoot
on an extension OF the claim which the
Indian found. Some OF the ore resem-
bles very much that from the famous
Mizpah at Tonopah and it carries good
values in silver, though the gold values
