Bullfrog Gold Mountain.
SPRINGS.

George d. tombstone gives the fol-
lowing information, to the Beatty
Bullfrog Miner, regarding the mines at
Crystal Springs and nea vicinity,
about Z miles north of Beatty.
: Gold Coin group of six claims. One
man now employed. Will let contract
to two men for a hundred foot tunnel.
The Mackay-Graham + Syndicate of
Denver has just bought the property
for $4,000. Located on the south end
of the Mayfiower and carries the May
flower vein. Good paintings have been
made in the float but ore has not yet
been found.
Grape Vine group of five claims.
Prospecting W men. Occasional pan
nings secured, assaying about $15.
Bond and Gaut, three claims. They
have opened a pay shoot, prosecuting
the ledge OF the surface; t~renching 5
feet in depth across the vein for AZ
feet, every bit of which pans from 81
to $50 a ton. a conflict with the May
flower people over these claims has all
been settled by a division of the
ground in conflict.
The Mayhower ledge has been open
ed up about l mile south with good
paintings by IA Dutchman named Du-
Vail on Duvahl mountain. The owner
refuses to place any price on his prop
erty and is proceeding with develop
mcnt work by himself.
Gold Reed group of five claims and
a fraction. Working two men and
looking for the Maytiower vein.
Tripolite group of four claims. One
man at work.
The Sentinel, one Of the Crystal
Springs group of the Angeles Gold
Mining Co. They are running IA tunnel,
working two shifts of two men each,
day and night, TO cut a vein which is
SO feet wide and assays from $12 to
$50 per ton on the surface, averaging
a little I'VE $12. A little streak of
tale has just been cut, lying next to
serpentine that pans well. T.
Two men are being worked on the
Inaugural of the Alumni Gold Mining
Co., one of the Crystal Springs COM
pany's holdings. They are running an
open cut on which occasional paintings
are found in a white quartz. Captain
George W. Thatcher has charge of the
work.

the ground once known as therC Chicago
'mine,. and is.yabout 225, miles northwest
of Bishop. In olden days T. G. Har-
ness pounded out over $1,000 worth Of
gold in a. hand mortar from a small
bit Of rock from the claim, and sold
several hundred dollars worth of spec
linens; and his partners in the proper
ty also made money from it. The
pocket they found ON the surface soon
gave ont. The present owners are
sinking on the ledge, and at present
have a shaft 20 feet deep, with a 16-
inch ledge going from $15 to $50. The
specimen referred to is from a depth
of 10 feet, and guesses at its ton val
ne put the amount about $4,000.
Six men are developing claims in
the vicinity. King Bros. mine has re-
ceived the most attention, over 1000
feet of work having been done OF it so
far. They have a two-stamp mill on
the ground.

COMPANY.

A deal has been contaminated for the
purchase Of the Scotch Bonnet group
of claims situated in the Tokop mining
district, southeast of Ida. The trans
action is of local color for the reason
that several Salt Lake railroad men
have put up their cash in the hope of
drawing down a fortune.
The consideration paid to the own
esr of the claims could not be definite
ly ascertained, but the figure is be-
lieved to be well in keeping with the
location of the claims, being in prox-
unity to some of the big properties of
the Tokop district, and the good show
ing resulting from the development
work already done.
The new corporation, to be called
the Tokop-Lida Mining company, is
being financed in Denver, where the
head Offices of the company are to be
located. The management Of the COM
pany will be in safe hands. George A.
Anderson is president; Kenneth N.
Wade (late superintendent of the Kim
berly-M Montana mines) is vice-president
and superintendent, while the Office of
secretary and treasurer is vested in
W. H. Paul, who is well and f~avorably
known to a large circle of friends in
this city.

GREAT BULLFROG STRIKE.
(From Tonopah Miner.)

oAOH~ e. J.
Further particulars have not been
received Of the latest strike on the
Bullfrog Mining company's property
on Ladd mountain, and there a be
no doubt that it is the richest and
most remarkable discovery made in
the Bullfrog district since the opening
up of the Shoshone ore body.
The discovery was made in an up
raise from the tunnel at a distance of
265 feet from the portal, the whole
roof of the upraise, measuring E feet
by 4 feet, being in ore, neither wall
having been encountered. Assays of
this ore range from $50 to $4,000 a
ton in gold, and every pound of rock
now being mined will average $500 a
a ton. This upraise gives a total
depth on the vein of 145 feet. At this
point the ore has slightly changed, be-
ing of a blush color, and while the
gold is mostly free, the highest assays
are obtained from sulphide ore.
The tunnel, which is now in 425
feet On the ledge, passes to the foot
wall side of the ore shoot, as demon
strated by the dip in the upraise. Pros
pecting ON the surface and to the
south of the shaft. with which this
upraise will connect, shows that this
shoot is about 200 feet long IN the
vein. From various points in the tun-
mel cro,scuts will now be driven east
to further open up the shoot, and as
the ledge is about 100 feet wide and
the tunnel is on the footwall and the
ore shoot on the hanging wall, these
crosscuts will have to be driven from
so to 60 feet to encounter it.
Another rich shoot has just been I'M
covered on the same ledge, on the Tip
Top claim, owned by the same COM
pany, and 5000 feet from the upraise,
Indicating the persistence of the rich
ore shoots in the vein.
The management has not yet decid-
ed whether to ship the high grade ore
or hold it until the mill is erected.
Having regard for the heavy freight
rates and the fact that the mill will
be running in about sixty days, the
majority of the directors are in ia
vor of milling the ore in their own
mill, and this course will probably be
pursued.

SUNNY SIDE OF THE RANGE
uLoYD KENYON JONES', in Mining Record)


men are engaged in mining than ever
before; the men who laughed at min
ing fotations two years ago.
The investing public no longer rep
resents the horde of grafters that
looked for "easy money!" but it is
composed of people in all walks of
life-people who are respectable, and
who have placed stringent conditions
on mine promotion.
It took some time for the world to
realize that there was gold and silver
and copper in the big hills. Hereto
fore, no one but excursionists and
tourists had taken the trouble to 60
into the mountains-with the excep-
ton of a few plodding scientists, who
have been the butt of comic supple
ment jokes.
Today there are more business men
from the eastern side of the Missis-
sippi, in the western mountains, than
there has been at any previous time.
The lave awakened to the fact that
mining is a business.
l sidestepped a big, busy bee not
many days ago. The bee wanted
something in the line of shrubbery
that 1 stepped on. The bee was saw
age and he went at me like Sunny
James after Force.
While I was arguing with the bee
! got to thinking-which is sometimes
an excellent habit; and my thoughts
ran thus:
The bees will not tolerate drones.
Every member of the hive kingdom
has to make good. A four fiusher is
set upon and stung into the land that
flows with milk and honey.
The bee passes for just what he is.
He works industriously when he
should and he rests at the right time.
And we steal the fruit of his toll,
and we put cheap syrup in its place,
and we try to currupt the bee. But
he maintains his old rigid honesty and
he keeps on working, despite our
thefts and our miserable human influ-
ence.
When d bee starts to graft he is
ushered into the buzzing beyond by
his comrades.
Would that we had even a sem
blance of the honesty of the bees.
Don't try to reform anything.
Reformation goes well with dieting.
Don't try to tell your fellow crea-
lures how to live.
DOM even try to tell them how to
invest their money.
Just get up on the housetops and
greet the morning sun the way the
Mussellman greets the highhall of the
east.
And shout from the housetops the
simple commanl-the heartbreaking
entreaty:

Nevada Should Show That Number by

Nevada Should Show That Number by
the Next Census,
Nevada should have Il population OF
100000 people at the end of the next
five years, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
one of the few metropolitan papers Of
the west that has an inherent faith ia
this state. The Tribune says in com
menting on the reclamation work un-
der way:
That the lands as reclaimed will be
eagerly taken there can be no doubt.
The forecast of a vast immigration TO
Nevada is fully justified. If the pro
ject is all carried to completion before
the Federal census of 1910 is taken,
the population of Nevada should easi-
ly show 100000 people; and with the
fuller development of the states re
sources that is certain to ensue, but II

The subject of investments is a very
broad one. The public is studying
this subject, and men and women
whose aims are higher than being
brothers and sisters of the OK, are
evolving a new era-an age of invest.
ment.
W. are just in the beginning W
at the mere portal to something
broader and better. Schooling always
costs money. In fact, unless we pay
a good, stiff tuition, we don't profit by
our lessons. Nothing makes SO pro-
found an impression in gratis learning
as the loss of even so cents in tuition
schooling.
I have noticed that the American
public has stamped out the race horse
schemes. 1t took just about two or
three years of hat kind of fraud to
embue the people with wisdom. And
still we have citizens who say that the
Americans like tt be h~umbugged. If
this were true, we should have race
track enterprises without number to-
day. We should also have an abund-
ance of 2 or 8 per cent weekly bats.
But we have none. The reason is, the
promoters of those frauds can lev
get their money back that it put into
advertising.
Before. l left Chicago-in fact, some
months agO-I made the acquaintance
of two race track wonders, with a
scheme. A "separator,' they called
it; that is, it was supposed to separate
people from their money. And it did
but not the way the grafters had
hoped. They proved to be the only
people interested in the separation,
and they found that their ads. were
accepted only by a questionable num-
Der of newspapers.
They spent about 800 and got back
nothing.
This is encouraging. 1t shows that
the American public has learned its
lesson.
At the same time ] have taken note
that the number of mining PROPOSE
lions being foated is greater than ever
before. ] know that I shall be con-
tradicted on this statement, but I can
prove it. -Four years ago there were
many open fakes advertised that had
nothing to do with the actual process
of mining. Today, l doubt if there
are any schemes before the public that
are not actually engaged in the mining
business.
The old line of fakirs has about
been killed off and those who have not
made good are really engaged IN
bringing their properties to the pro.
ducing stage. The public demands it,
because the first rash fever has died
down. Mining is a BUSINESS today,
and investments are being conducted
on business principles. I know posi-
tively that a better class Of business

The Rain Cure.

The rain cure is now being tried by
number of persons in Texas when
ever opportunity is offered for taking
the treatment. Some Of those who
have taken it say that it is a panacea
for all chronic diseases az well as many
of the lesser ills of the body.
There is nothing complicated about
the rain cure. All that is required Of
the patient is that he shall stand in
the open, with his body bare of all
clothing, and let the falling rain pour
Oh him.
The sensation is said to be very
agreeable. Those who have tried the
new treatment assert that the rain
falling upon the bare body invigorates
the whole system and is especially
strengthening to the nerves.
There is no set rule for taking the
treatment. Some of those who began
it several months ago, at the early
break of winter, have stood in the
rain for several hours at time with.
out suffering effects Of a dlsagreeable
character afterward.
Devotees Of the rain cure welcome
the appearance of black cloud which
forbodes a terrific downpour of rain
1t is then that they strip to the skin
and get out in their backysrds, which
are enclosed by high board fences, ant
let the water come down upon then
in torrents.
