That Section.

That Section.
Major Gardner has returned from an
extended visit to the Bullfrog district
and reports a great deal of activity in
that section, particularly in the vicinity
of the Original Bullfrog mine and OF
Laid mountain. While south he pur-
chased for himself, T. L. Oddie and as
s~ociates two groups of claims that take
in the east and west extensions of the
Original Bullfrog lead. Companies are
to be formed to vigorously develop these
properties. Major Gardner vas espe-
cially impressed with the showing on
the Original Bullfrog mine, declaring it
to equal any in this district at the same
stage Of development. The initial ship
ment is about ready for market and will
be consigned via Goldfeld. 1t will con
sist Of approximately Is tons. Major
Gardner expects to spend considerable
time during the next few months in
Bullfrog directing operations on the
two properties in which he has become
interested. Values up to $40 in gold
have been found on one of them.
Fred Carlson, one of the principal
owners of the Original Bullfrog, re-
turned last Tuesday from the property
and brought back a 6O-pound specimen
that was placed in the window of the
Elite saloon. The gold in it plainly WIS.,

shares of the par value of $1.OO each.
The officers are: L. l.. Patrick, presi-

been referred to in these columns. The
Bullfrog Mining company of Nevada is
taking out its richest ore from its claims
on Ladd Mountain within 10 feet of the
endline of the National Bank claim.
Forty thousand shares of stock in the
new company were offered for sale and
the block was oversubscribed.
Original Bullfros.
Late reports from the work in progress
on the Original Bullfrog mine are that
the remarkable showing continues to
improve with every round of shots.
Specimens brought from the mine this
week show even greater quantities of
free gold than those received some. time
ago. There are Sc sacks of ore at the
mine that sampled 81 900 per ton.
The Bullfroe Combination.

to start active development work on the

1t is rumored that a control of the

B. F. Shepherd and Len McGarry have
