Account of the District.

VINO nave JuSO lobuIHcu iloLh on %
tended trip through the Bullfrog dis
trict, say that it is, next to T%onopah,
a world. beater. They have fur
nished us with the following interest
ING account of their travels:
eWe made the trip to Bullfrog via
Thorps mill, thirty miles south of
Goldfeld, over a fairly good road,
Upon our arrival at RhyoIite We lost
no time in paying a visit to the rich
Original Bullfrog mine. 1t is GER
tainly q great property, The vein
is shown by a small cross-c1t expos
ing 8 feet OF ore, with a phenomenally
rich pay streak Of Is inches, from
which $500 ore is now being sacked
for shipment. We also visited the
Ray property about three miles south
Of Amargosa. The monster ledge
here can be traced for more than
2000 feet, varying in width from 8 to
30 feet or more; samples taken from
several feet across the vein were
crushed, showing very extraordinary
values in free gold. Going south
from this large vein about one mile
we found the Denver ledge crossing
the mountain range in a straight
line. This also showed free gold
wherever the quartz was exposed.
The property Of Messrs. Ford, O'Neil,
Wheeler and Pearlman Joins the
Denver
$50 much has been said Of the
Ladd, Benson and Clark property it
is not necessary to give details here.
1t is located On the opposite Of the
town OF Rhyolite, which is on a large
circular fiat, about a quarter of a
mile from the main road. The Ben
son, Ladd and Clark mines form the
north side Of the town, the Ray,
Denver and others the south side
and many other claims the east side.
Water is to be piped from a short
distance above, to town.
1--WE made an early start &c look
wei the White Horse, Annex and
Daisy groups. Our guide lost his
bearings in q heavy fog however, and
we were compelled to retur to
Amargosa.
In the afternoon OF the same day,
in clear bright sunshine, we found we
had been within a few hundred yards
Of the White Horse, which claim
covers a very much m~ineralized hill
with a regular and strong vein anc
but a short distance from the Wagon
road. The same road crosses the
Daisy group and they Join the Anne,
group, on a bill resembling the
Original Bulltrog bill. The Annex !,
covered with an unusual outcrop o
quartz aud shows some ~carbonat,
ore.
We started back by Indian Spring.
thence to Thorps mill. aud by tn,
cutoff to Goldfeld, a total distanc,
OF 70 miles.
ITO examine the district properl,
would require not less than tw0
weeks time. Freight is reporte,
coming from the south at less cos
than via Tonopah, 1t Is freighte
from Ivanpah, on the Santa Fe
about 100 miles south Of Bullfrog
When Senator Clark road IS finishe
it will open. up a new territory. Tn
wagon haul will not be more than 10
miles from Las Vegas. Within on
year the last named road will have
branch to this city, as will the SAINT
Fe from Ivanpah. With the othe
roads coming, better t~ransportatio
facilities will be given this seetio
than to any mining camp on the Pa
cifc slope. And the business will
here, for Nevada is surely destine
to take first place in the productio
Of precious metals. With crude &
for fuel, and with the dry valleys ful
nishing water from bored wells, tt
great desert will blossom into
country sought for its fine climate
and great resources. Look at Il
map, and you can not fail to be CO
vinced."
