AMARaosA, Bullfrog Mining District,
New, jan. 3O.-The little scare over the
supposed jumping of the Bullfrog mine,
has passed away and Is now looked upon
only az one of the best jokes of the sea-
son. Tie notice IF relocation, il suck it
could be called, vas posted on the stand
ard of the w~indlass, which III course liz
personal property and no effort ON the
part of A. l.. Davis, the jumper was
made to erect ~ monument. In the
meantime the property is moving along
in fine. style, and as rapidly as places
al be made for more men they are inn
mediately employed. The size Of the
pile of sacked ore is steadily increasing
and it will not be very long before
the promised carload shipment OF high
grade mineral will be ready for market.
The hotel is, doing an excellent bust
ness. Beds only are furnished guests,
but they are filled almost invariably
each night. Many strangers are coming
in and at night camp fires can be seen
in every direction. Ea...,a. t,.I 49,.
District Recorder Ladd has 30 far had
filed for record with him a trifie less than
500 certificates of, location. This shows
that there is still plenty of ground that
can be taken up and as q result pros
pectors have again taken heart and are
examining monuments to see when time
on ground expires. Some amazing re-
suits follow. On Sunday night three
parties of four each met on the same
claim on Ladd mountain. They had
come to remain until midnight before
putting up a monument. The boys
fixed the matter up by drawing straws,
but the losers now are laughing at the
winners as all have since learned that
the original locator had done his work
and fully complied with all legal re-
Quirements. 81. .rf .. Llatu. .v
James Cronin, an old-time mining
expert, whose home is in San Francisco,
came in last week with b. M. Pearlman
of TonOpah. He came to make a report
on some undeveloped claims, but just
where they are located is not known.
Incidentally he informs your correspon-
dent that he is simply amazed with the
showing over the various hills and pre-
dicts-like all others who look for them.
selves-a great future for the Bullfrog
mining district.
F. NJ. Wilson and j. F. Judge of Salt
Lake, are recent arrivals in the city.

3O.-William Kitchen, an. old-time stage
man, has been in the district for the
last few days looking into the feasibility
of putting on a stage line that will con-
meet more quickly than at present all
towns in the districts with Goldtield and
Tonopah. He thinks he can see a hand
some profit in such an enterprise and
by the time this is in print, will have
his stock scattered at different places
along the lines. For the present stages
will only leave here and Goldtield every
other day-not tri-weekly but every
other day-but as soon as possible a
daily line will be established.
BEATTY, Bullfrog Mining District, Jan.
3O.-Bonanza, a city of tents that started
up a few weeks ago at a point midway
between Amargosa and this city, is no
more. All that is left to mark the site
are a quantity of tin cans and empty
beer bottles. The residents of the place
have moved up the wash that divides
Bell & Jones and Ladd hills about half a
mile and once more stuck their stakes.
The new townsite is backed by energetic
people and they promise an abundance
of water for residents in the near future.
The place has been named Rhyolite, and
at this writing has a larger population
than Bonanza wei had. Water is hauled
from Amargosa river and from the wells
in this place.
BEATTY, Bullfrog Mining District, Jan.
3O.-The first death to be recorded in
the district occurred on Sunday and at a
time when the people Of Bonanza We're
unloading their traps from wagons to
take up their residence in Rhyolite.
Edward Anderson, manager of the b: q
B. store at Amargosa, was down looking
at the novel sight and took a hand on
some heavy article that was being lifted
from a wagon. He instantly said he
that he had been hurt and sat down.
When some one went to him a few min
utes later the man was dead. Justice of
the Peace Sexton of this city, in the alb
sence of the coroner held an inquest over
the remains, the verdict of the jury Civ

sing. The body wal buried in Amar-
gosa Monday. Anderson was at n
time employed at the Red Front grocery
