BULLFROG MINING DISTRICT.
Some eighty miles northeast of Gold
field there is mineral belt that is very
attractive, not only TO the prospector,
but also to the mining investor. This
district is designated by the name of
Bullfrog. which first came into promi-
nence some eight months ago. due to
the phenomenal find on the Original
Bullfrog of high grade ore. This dis
cevery was made by Iige Harris,
pector, who was headed for Goldfield-
He noticed a well-defined dixie and
after a careful search found rock con-
tanning gold Sending Cross, another
proSpector and his partner, to Goldfield
with samples to be assayed, Harris be-
gan to open up the ledge.
Cross, upon arriving in Goldfeld, Sc
cured aid from townspeople, as the as
high as $4,000 per ton 1t cost the
original investors just $500. This is the
authentic story of the discovery of the
Original Bullfrog, which has proven to
be one of the richest properties in Ne
vada. Work is being pushed on these
claims, more than thirty men being en-
of quartz, fully 1000 feet in length,
which outcrops on the surface A cross
cut has been run in a distance of 200
feet, as well as a drift more than fifty
fact in 10 INF aa all
as various shafts, all more than sixty
feet deep, show good ore bodies, which
assay from $3.50 to $500 per ton. This
company recently shipped five tons of
ore. as test for gold and silver values,
and received returns from the smelter

The greatest strike ever made on the
desert occurred recently on Montgon-
cry Mountain. in the Bullfrog Mining
District, distance of one mile from
the town of Rhyolite. The showings on
this group have astonished even the
most skeptical of men. for assays as
high as 100000 per ton have been OBJ
tanned from a seam OF tale in the tun-
mel. A crosscut 100 feet in length
opened up a big ledge. IL being more
