BULIFRoG

Word now comes from Denver that
the management of the Bullfrog Pho
neer Gold Mines company is preparing
to more than double its force of miners
on its Bi-Metallic claims, which lie
near the Mayflower in the northern
central part of the district. Splendid
values have recently been opened ON
these claims under the direction If
William j. Tobin, who is the Bullfrog
representative of the corporation, and
the management have been encouraged
to feel that now the showing justified
rapid development.
The Pioneer is one of the com
panies that has pushed development
work continuously since its incorpora-
tion, not wen permitting the very hot
weather of middle summer TO stop their
work. The mineralized rock on this
property is very similar to that which
is being shipped by the Tonopah Min
ing company of Nevada, and the super
intendent reports that the values arr
improving as the shaft gains depth.
The Pioneer, Mayiower, Gold Ba

FTREMEN's DANCE
Local Department VIII Give Dance on
Evening Of November 20

With their customary gallantry and
good fellowship the members Of
the Goldfeld Volunteer Fire depart
ment postponed the dance they intend
ed holding on the night of October 80,
in order that nothing might detraet
from the hop held by the Ladies' Aid
society on that evening. They have
now decided upon the evening of No.
vember 20 as the date of their ball and
the various committees are busily en-
gagged in formulating plans which viii
insure its success. Prior to the first
number on the dance program there
will be an entertainment in which mem
bers of the department and others will
participate. A number of unique feat
ures are being outlined and this por-
ton of the evenings festivities will
doubtless be fully as enjoyable as
those of the later hour. For the dance
the best orchestral music has been en-
gagged.
No effort which will tend to add to
the pleasure of the occasion is beng
overlooked, and as the ball is being
held for the purpose of securing funds
for the operation of the department, it
will undoubtedly be literally patron
lied. Miners Union hall is to be the
scene of the festivities and it is the
purpose to decorate it with streamers
of v~ari-colored bunting pointed out
with helmets, trumpets and other para
phernalia utilized by the fremen in
cases Of emergency.

ARTHUR AMONG THE BIG HEADS.

Arthur Gray had eaten a hearty sup

open long enough to find his way from
the table to a couch that stood conven-
lent in 4 corner of the room-threw him
self down contentedly and proceeded to
fall asleep.
That evening Arthur had brought home
from school his monthly report card,
which was marked so high that the vain
fellow had made himself quite unbear-
able over his success. going about the
mouse putting on great airs and boasting
IN bold way to the servants. He had
been bit overbearing, too, toward
Tommy Peters. an orphan boy. who was
red on their way home from school.
Tommy worked for ''his board and
keep in the home of a butcher, whose
wife kept Tommy out of school on every
little pretext. first to mind the baby

side door. and receiving no response,
had made bold TO open the dining room
door with the intention Of putting the
meal on the table where the servant
would find II on entering. The odor
of escaping gas almost strangled him
and he threw the door wide open and
ran into the hall calling for help. Mr.
and Mrs. Grey were in the parlor with
company that had called as soon as sup

Arthur was asleep on the couch and
