SHIPPING ORE AT KAWICH.
Lessees Make Good Strikes-Valua-
Bile Properties Acquired.

Operations in the kauicn country
commute I" move urlskly. The Kawich
Goldreed Mining company has been in
cOrporated to assume the ownership and
operation Of a group of five claims situ-
ated within three-quarters of mile OF
the Goldreed company, and on the trend
of the same mineral dixie. A ledge
feet in width outcrops boldly OIL the
surface and samples across its entire
width 1913 per ton. The formation is
identical with that on the GOldreed com
pany's holdings. Numerous apIlica-
tions for leases have been received by
the management. Jones & Borlini have
been appointed fiscal agents of the COM
pany.
The lessees on the Goldreed COM
pany's group of claims are meeting with
results of the greatest Importance to the
district generally, as well as themselves
individually. Gilbert and associates,
who are operating block of ground 500
feet from the original discovery, have
opened up big body OF high grade
shipping ore. An unusual feature OF
development on this lease is the finding
of good values in the porphyry. On the
Skinner lease, 200 feet farther south,
ore of the value of $500 is being mined.
McAllister and Sanders have opened an
ore shoot that samples from $500 to
81 900 per ton on a block 200 feet far
ther south. Wherever work is being
prosecuted in the district more than sat
isfactOry results are being secured.
The property Of the Kawich Gold
Mining company is looking well accord
ing to reports received during the week
by Manager George H. Lewis. The
company has just concluded deal for
the purchase of a group which are the
extension of the Goldreed company's
property. This group is to be included
in the company's holdings and is a val
liable acquisition.

NEW TOWN
OF BULLFROG
Takes the Place of AmargOsa-'
Rich Strike in BullfrOg
National Bank.

AMARGosA, March 9-This is the last
message tor publication that will go out
under the date of the name of the town
at the head Of this telegram. Amargosa
is i'm the passing. AS these words are
spoken scores of people about the place
are busily engaged in tearing down
houses and tents preparatory for their
removal to the new town of Bullfrog.
Tie new town is located at the big wash
at the mouth Of the draw between Ladd
mountain and Bell and Jones hill and in
cludes in it's area the old townsite of
Bunanza.
Ii. II. Clark, the founder Of Amar-
gosa, IS at the head of the new townsite
company. All people owning lots in
Amargosa are to have lots gwen them
in BulifrOg and in most cases Mr.. Clark
is paying all the expenses incidental to
the removal Of houses and tents. The
telephone office is to be removed at once
fiOm Amargosa to Bullfrog. The Office
at this place will be abandoned tOmor-
row.
A new hotel, having q capacity of 40
rooms, is to be erected at once at Bull
frog. Office furniture and fixtures for q
banking Institution have been ordered.
The contract for the building will be let
Immediately. Water for the new town
js 10 come from Boss springs. A force
OF engineers and u number of wOrkmen
have been busily engaged for some days
III Locating the pipe line and developing
the water supply. Chief Engineer Phil
brick states sufficient flow Of water is
now assured to supply a city Of $4,000
inhabitants. MIR. Clark has made ar
rangemente with the auto line, which is
shortly to he put in service between
Goldtield and this district, to have the
southern terminal established at Bull
frog. h.,
Bullfros National Bank Strike.
:. One of the most important strikes in
this district was made today on the
FIRST National claim of the Bullfrog
National Bank Mining company. The
company is working three shifts in sink
ing the shaft, in the bottom of which a
large body Of hlgh-grade shipping ore
has been disclosed. The whole bottom
Ui the shaft is in ore that will average
better than $3.50 per ton. The discovery
places the property among the bOnanzas
OF the district and will lend added inn
portance to this section.
Wonderful Shoshone Group.
Development OF the Shoshone group
proves, as was predicted, that this is
undoubtedly one of the greatest prop
critics in tins marvelously rich district.
Two shifts are at work on the property
in two places, running tunnels to tap
tho mammoth ledge that has been pros
pected at surface with such remarkable
results. One of the drives is in ore and
the crOsscut has been extended into the
ledge a distance of % feet without dis
closing the farther wall, and for this en-
tire width the ore will average $50 per
ton. In both of these tunnels it is ex-
peeted that the 1eh hSo moot oi shppns
ecuted energetically with this end in
view. w. s. ALEXANDER.

BullfroS National Bank.

j. NJ. and w. F. Patrick have returned
from two weeks trip to BullfrOg,
where they completed arrangements for
the active development of the holdings
OF the Bullfrog National Bank Mining
company, in which they are heavy
stockholders. Both men express them
selves as being more than favorably
impressed with the surface showing on
the property, which, they say, is of such
promise that there is practically no
doubt development work will open up
a mine of the first Importance.
In speaking OF the property Mr.. w. +.
Patrick said there was exposed at sur
face strong mineral dixie, containing
numerous streaks of quartz. Paintings
from a vein feet through gave remark
able results while two average assays
gave returns of from 1888 to $3.50 per
ton. A number of other fire tests from
samples taken from across the dixie
showed values above 800 per ton. In
panning 20 samples there was not a
failure and practically all of them indi-
Gated values OF from $50 to 500.
The tunnel ON the Bullfrog of Nevada
company's mine, which adjoins, is be-
ing driven so near the end line dividing
the two properties that arrangements
have been entered into to divide the ex-
pense of this feature of the development
OF the two groups between the two cam
panies.
MIR. Patrick reports that there are at
least 800 people in the Bullfrog dis
trict Freight is moving in from the
south and the principal towns of the
district are building up rapidly. Mr..
Patrick classes five of the principal
properties of the district-the Original
Bullfrog, Bullfrog National Bank, Bull
frog of Nevada, ShOshone and Hazelton
among the most promising he has
ever examined. While there are not
found such sensational values in the
southern district as in Goldfeld the ore
bodies are larger, he declares, and have
indications of great permanency.
Bullfrog Eclipse.
January Jones has gone to Bullfrog to
arrange for the commencement of ener-
getic development work on the holdings
Of the Bullfrog Eclipse company. An
extensive plan of development has been
outlined and strong treasury reserve
10 at hand to carry out the work.
BullfroS Southern.
Work is going forward steadily on the
holdings of the Bullfrog Southern Min
ing company on Bare mountain. The
ledge has been exposed for 5000 feet
and surface values range from $3.50 to
t34.

company is preparing to commence ac-

sisting of six claims and situated about
Black Butte. The surface indications
are pronounced among the best in that
section, an average assay OF ledge
which has been exposed for a length of
200 feet showing $40 value across its
width. The company will develop the
ground by a tunnel, contract having
already been let for this work. Alfred
G. Minter, a Seattle Mining man, pur-
chased the property and is vice-presi-
dent of the company. The other officers
are j. c. Cole, president; w. ii. Weis-
har, secretary, and j. X. Boal, treasurer.
Coldfield Rex.
The Goldfield Rex Mining company
is securing some excellent quartz ore
from their lease on the George claim
near the Quartzite mine at Diamond
field. The vein was cut in crosscut
from the 5O-fOot level of the shaft. Sink
ing is being carried on and it is the in
tention to have the shaft 100 feet deep
BY May /. Additional men will then be
added to the working force and the drifts
on the ore fully developed. The other
extensive holdings of this company are
to be developed during the summer. w.

On the Bonanza claim of the Goldfield

OF ore.

Work has been resumed on the Gold
field Oro company's property on Colum-
bia mountain. The shaft, which is 40
feet deep, will be continued to the 200
foot level, where Il station will be cut
and prosecuting prosecuted to explore
the ground. Several leads will be
opened up in this working.
Red Top.
Now that the Red Top has entered
the ranks of the shippers it bids fair to
maintain it's place among the big pro-
ducers OF the camp. The sacking OF the
ore continues and there is now large
quantity piled up ready to be sent out.

Indian Has Right to Drink.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, in an opinion by Justice Brewer,
Monday, granted the petition of Albert
Hell of Kansas for writ OF habeas
corpus. Hef was prosecuted and con-
victed in the District Court of Kansas
Tor selling beer at the town of Horton
TO a kickapoo Indian named John But
Ter, to whom land had been granted in .
severalty. The prosecution was based |
upon the theory that Butler was still a
ward of the Nation. The case was
brought to the Supreme Court in an
original action, on the ground that in
becoming an allottee, the Indian be-
came citizen of the United States.
This view was sustained by Mondays
opinion, which concluded as follows:
ave are of the opinion that, when
the United States grants the privileges
OF citizenship to an Indian, giving him
the benefit of and requiring him to be
subject to the laws, both civil and Grim
maj, of the state, it places him outside
.he reach ol police regulations on the
part OF Congress; that the emancipa
tion from Federal control thus created
cannot be set aside at the instance OF
the Government without the consent Of
the individual Indian and the state,
and that the emancipation from Federal
control is not affected by the tact that
the lands it has granted to the Indian
are granted subject to condition
against alienation and incumbrance, or
the fact that it guarantees to him an
interest in tribal or other property"
This decision apparently applies to
the Indians of the Siletz reservation
and all other Indians holding land in
severally. In due time decision is ex'
pected declaring such land subject to
Uaxation-the same as that of any other
citizen.

Warning.

Complaint having been made that
certain persons in Lincoln county, Ore
gon, are digging into Indian graves and
removing the remains OF deceased In
dams therefrom and also removing GER
tain articles therefrom, l desire to state
for the benefit of such persons that a
severe penalty is attached to such an
offense as is shown by section 1910, Bel
!inger & Cotton's Annotated Laws. OF
Oregon, which reads as follows, to.wit :
Iii any person shall willfully and
wrongfully dig up, disinter, remove or
convey away any human body, or the
remains thereof, such person, upon con-
siction thereof, shall be punished by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary not
less than six mouths nor more than
two years, or by imprisonment in the
county jail not less than three months
nor more than one year"
trust the above will be sufficient
rarning and that there will be no more
tesecration of Indian graves, which
Aould be held just as sacred as the
graves of other people.
