BULLFROG
Many New Strikes in
That District

M. Pico, who was in town this week
from Beatty, says that there is consid-
erable activity in the section east of
Beatty. On the Wonder igroup, which
comprises six claims, located nearlysa
nile east of Beatty, considerable work
is being done. In one place tunnel is
being driven under large dyke that
can be traced on the surface for dis
lance of mile and half Assays of
from SO to So were obtained from the
ledge on the surface, and it is believed
that the values will improve with depth.
This property is owned by Senator T.
L. 0ddie and F. j. Leutjens.
Messrs. oddie, Carstairs and Leutjens
have started tunnel on their property
at Indian Springs and it will be driven
800 feet for the purpose of opening up
contact vein that crops on the sur
face for 5000 feet and shows values
for the entire length. There is plenty
Of water at Indian Springs and with
plenty of good milling ore it will become
an important part of the Bullfrog dis
trict.
A strike of manganese quartz has
been made in the Lucky Jack mine or
he east crosscut, So feet east of the
shaft, at depth Of 100 feet. 1t is ex.
pected that the crosscut will have to be
run at least so feet further before the
main ledge is tapped. Manager Moody
will let some leases on the property in
the near future.
Judge Sexton and Deputy Sheriff j.
4. Mcdonald are developing the Eureka
group of claims, located about mile
south Of Beatty. The ledge on the
surface assays well and the gentlemen
believe that with depth they can oper
up good paying ore body.
M. Pico of Beatty brought the news
TO town Monday of an important strike
IN the ground of the Four Aces mining
company. The ledge was encountered
at a depth Of so feet and the width oi
il is as yet unknown, it covering tn,
entire bottom of the shaft. Assay.

to the ton.

property went through only four fee
Of wash before getting into solid for
