The Bullfrog Extension is running an
upraise from the face of the incline
tunnel to the surface for the purpose of
getting better air. The tunnel is in
l41 feet and a vertical depth Of about
70 feet has been attained. 1t viii take
about two weeks to finish the upraise.
The breast Of the tunnel shows eX-
ceptionally good mineral
Clarence oddie says the Eclipse
property never looked better. The in
cline shaft on the Hobo fraction is now
about 100 feet deep. The vein is over
eight feet wide, much of it being high
grade and is being sacked It is eX-
pected to connect with the main shaft
at depth Of 200 feet.
Malcolm Macdonald, says the Sho-
shone-M Montgomery is getting better
every day. On the Shoshone No 2,
southeast Of the main workings, a vast
body of quartz has been encountered
in tunnel, which is now 65 feet in the
mountain. The ore has been proven
for a distance of 40 feet and the end is
not yet in sight A station has been
cut at the l50-foot point in the main
shaft and drifts started in a northerly
and southerly direction. The quartz
found in these drifts is looking exceed
ingly good
At the Poaris shaft drifts are being
run from the bottom Of the l00-foot
shaft and are all in ore.
Superintendent George F. Badgett Of
the Providence was made happy last
week, when his miners broke into the
contact ledge for which they had been
driving The ledge was encountered in
the cross-cut, so feet from the bottom
of the l00-foot shaft. The ledge mat
ter is sulphide quartz and paintings
show il to carry gold, with traces Of
silver and lead. A streak Of tale about
seven inches wide was also uncovered
that gives splendid values.
: The Yankee Girl shaft is now down
200 feet and still in the white tale.
The new hoist for the Original Bull
frog has arrived and is being installed
under the direction of Superintendent
Mcdonald
Work on the Amargosa shaft, which
issthe deepest one in camp, being down
328 feet, cannot be farther prosecuted
until the installation of more machinery
Supt, Gracy says a big gasoline hoist
will soon be placed and vigorous work
will be resumed.
r The working force on the Gibrata
has been Increases and Superintendent
, Nelson has started to sink on the or
shoot in the No tunnel that gave sucl
phenomenal values recently
