X. X. Casper, one of the best known
newspaper men of the West, has re-
turned from trip to oBullfrog and brings
good stories from there. The following
is the substance of an interview with
him:
"There is much prospecting going on
in the Bullfrog district, and l was agree
ably surprised to find such a large
amount of work being done. OF the
Shoshoe mine at Beatty it is hardly
Necessary to speak-it is the marvel OF
age. The Denver and National Bank
are both looking well, and the Bullfrog-
Eclipse is in splendid ore. One OF the
most remarkable surface showings
have ever seen is the property of the
Bullfrog Gold Bar Co, otherW.s Sc known
as the Hazeltine group. This property
was located by two Victor, Colo, min
ers-N. p. Reinhart and Ben Hazeltine.
They reached Goldfield on Sept. Is, 1904,
and landed in Bullfrog on Oct. Z. On
Oct. 10, while out prospecting, they
located the Hazeltine group, situated 2
miles north of the original Bullfrog, and
miles west of the town of Rhyolite-a
country then thought to be outside OF
the mineral belt. On this property there
is now uncovered ledge OF ore Is feet
wide that at the most conservative esti-
mate will average $15 per ton across the
entire ledge. The pay shoot is feet
wide, showing values from $42 to 1929
per ton. The ledge has been opened in
six or more different places for dis
tance of 1000 feet. | personally took
samples from these different holes, and
in no instance could l obtain a sample
that did not pan gold. a controlling in
terest in this property. was recently pur-
chased by j. p. Lotus, j. X. Davis,
Judge w. A. Sherman and Judge Jack
son. These gentlemen, with N. p. Rein
hart, organized the Bullfrog Gold Bar
Company"
MIR. Casper will remain here for sew
eral days and then return to RullfrOg,
where he has acquired some interests.
Rich Strike Made Near Bullfrog.
A very rich strike has been reported
on the Quartette, situated on Ladd
mountain in the Bullfrog mining dis
trict. The paintings from the ledge,
which shows Is feet on the surface, are
very rich in gold, every pan showing
free gold, it is said. As yet there has
been no return from the assays, but it is
estimated the ore will run in the hun
dreds. Judge l. S. Thompson and a. 7.
Garberg of this place are the principal
owners of the claims and their many
friends here are very much pleased oTer
their we'll deserved success.
Gold Dust Company.
Dan Hanley has found some good ore
on the surface OF the Long Dan claimed
owned by the Gold Dust company. Two
samples taken yesterday gave assay re-
turns of $54.20 and $26.6O respectively.
There is big blowout, almost 100 feet
wide, on this property and some of the
quartz returns high assays. Mr.. Han
but when the ore shoot is located he is
confident of having shipping mine.
Good Ore In the St. Ives.
Good sulphide ores have been encoun
tered at the 100-foot level in the st. Ives
and sample taken across ; feet of the
ledge returned values of $26S per ton.
The gallows frame of the strongest
in the camp-is now erected and the
Aoist is on the ground. 1t will be in
stalled at once and the property will
soon be in position to produce steadily.

Active development work has COM
meaced on the Black Rock claim, owner
by the Black Rock Mining company and
adjoining the Conqueror and Sandstorm

vein, the extension of which is in Black
Rock territory.
