BIG MINING DEAL.

We have learned more of the mine
sold in Death valley, reported in last
weeks Miner. The mine was owned by
John Cyty, T. Sullivan and J. R. Nc
Cormack and was sold to w. d. o.
Brian of San Francisco, the considera
ton being one and a half millions. A
payment was made down.
They are called the Big Belle group
situated in the Funeral range of noun
tains, about fifteen miles north of the
Furnace creek ranch and about half c
mile north Of Keene's Wonder mine
Nearly all the development work has
been done on one big ledge running
from fifteen to fifty feet across. IL
twenty-six assays across the ledge
where the most work has been done
shows an average of $40 to the tor.
Good enough water for the milling
can be had in abundance two miles
away, and good drinking water SIX
miles off. Mr.. Mccormack is in the EN-
ploy of Porter Brothers and WINS on ;
sixth of the group, located about q
year and a half ago. Mr.. O'Brian, the

The working shaft on the M~ayhower
is down about twenty feet. They have
encountered the same big vein as ia
the prospect shaft with good values.
The shaft will be continued to the 100
foot on the vein, and it is the INTENT IN
to drift both ways when this point is
reached. The vein has been prospect
ed for 1000 feet and good paintings are
obtained wherever it is opened up.
Stringers of high grade ore are found
throughout the quartz, which leads the
owners to believe hat a body of ship
ping ore will be encountered. Judge
Lindsay is devoting his entire time 10
looking after the mine, and is very en-
thusiastic about the prospects.
BOND ON RUSH.
Gorrill & Mann have taken an option
on a bond on the Rush group Of
claims north and west of the Denver,
on Bonanza mountain. The group con-
sists of the Rush, Rush No. /, Key
stone and Index. Sellers and Carpen-
ter are the owners and the considera-
tion of the bond is $150,000. This
group is considered one of the biggest
open propositions in the district.
STEINWAY.
The S%teinway has cut a stringer of
quartz a foot wide in the bottom OF
their shaft which is now down lao
feet. Supt. Wilson says it carries fair
values.

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT
News Items of the Prominent Properties Taken From the
RhyoIite Herald
DENVER.

The upraise from the stope above
the second level broke into the WINE
from the first level Wednesday after
noon. The tunnels are fifty feet apart
and as the stope had been run about
ten feet, forty feet Of work remained
to connect the two levels. OF this the
upraise had cut through thirty feet of
quartz when the winze from above met
it at a depth of ten feet. The winze
from the second level, being sunk on
the ore to connect with the third level,
is now about forty feet deep, and win
have to go about thirty feet more to
gain the desired point. The Wine
from the first level is fifteen feet un-
der cover and cuts the second level at
a distance of $50 feet under cover. The
third tunnel is now in 234 feet, but
will have to be run t~wenty-nine feet
farther to get under the winze. A
force of men is at work in the breast
of No. 8.
The streak of very rich ore in the
Wine from No. 2, mentioned in last
weeks Herald, continues on the foot
wall and paintings from samples taken
out show wonderful strings of colors.
The dip of the bromide streak in the
upper tunnel will bring it far to the
north of the workings in the lower
levels; and in fact, Supt. darcy be-
lieves their best ore will be found
when they get farther north. The
ore broken down in making the upraise
has been left in the stope, and by the
time the sacked ore now on the dump
reaches Goldfeld, a second shipment
will be ready to haul out, and much
of it will be very high grade. The
storm the first of the week delayed the
packing of the sacks down the hill,
but it is now being done, and will be
hauled out by the Rhyolite Lumber
company. Ten men are employed in
the mine.

GOLD BAR.

James R. Davis, general manager OF
the Bullfrog Gold Bar company, re-
turned Wednesday to Rhyolite, after l
few days sojourn at the c~ompany's
big mine, where during the stormy
weather e Sunday he was housed in
the comfortable quarters which Supt.
Bedford has provided for the employees
and guests. Mr.. Davis is very mucn
gratifed in the development of the
Gold Bar, which is more than meeting
his fondest expectations. The work in
the drifts and crosscuts has been GO
ing steadily forward since the last is
sue of the Herald, and there is no end
to the ore in any direction as yet. Mr..
Davis reports that before the week is
closed fully $50 sacks of good grade
ore will be tied ready for shipment,
and hat there is an abundance of
shipping ore in sight so that steady
sacking will continue. He compli-
ments Supt. L. E. Bedford very highly
for the systematic and economical de-
velopment of the property. More than
40 feet of the work has been done on
the $50 foot level since August s,
and much of this work has beer done
at the small cost of $3.50 a foot. This
is remarkable, considering the fact
that the hosting is being done with y
within. Mr.. Davis took occasion to say
to the Herald that the entire camp
seems to be steadily improving. He
heard and saw nothing but encouras-
ing things here. Mr.. Clark, who is an
old friend of Mr.. Davis, took him over
the Gibraltar property on Bonanza
mountain and surprised him with a
magnificent showing of ore in several
places. Mr.. Davis is anxiously await
ing the installation OF the new machin-
cry on the Gold Bar, and is looking
forward to the development of one of
Nevada's biggest mines in that prop

GIBRALTER.
Last week the Gibraltar run a cross.
cut from their No. 2 tunnel at 1O2 feet
distance to determine the location of
the No. 4 vein opened in the No.
tunnel. 1t was tapped after cutting
eight feet and the work was then con-
tinued in the breast of the tunnel. The
vein was reached Wednesday at lis
feet. The last shot Wednesday night
broke down fifteen feet of ore, of the
same nature as that secured above,
though the general average is much
better. The walls are also well de-
fined and more regular. Track has
been laid to facilitate the taking out
of the ore and a platform has been
built for the sorting and sacking,
which will begin at once. A survey
On the 18th showed hat the big tun-
mel, which is now in 305 feet, should
cut No. 3 vein in twenty-six feet, pro-
vided that the vein held the same gen.
eral course. 1t also showed that the
No. l vein should intersect No. 2 in
from twenty to thirty feet.
Mr.. w. H. Clark says the Gibraltar
looks better than ever before, and the
ore bodies are showing up bigger and
better than was hoped for. He was
asked if his company contemplated
making a shipment of their high grade
ore, and replied in part as follows.
Gin fifteen days the Gibraltar could
have five or six tons of high grade ore
ready to ship that would run better
than $500 per ton, and If twenty tons
not yet broken up, two-thirds of it
would be rich enough to sack. While
realizing the great help it would be
to the district, it would not pay our
company to ship out this ore when it
is becoming more and more evident
that a mill must shortly be installed.
We could not get our money back on
ere that would not run better than
500. When in salt Lake city recens-
ly, I was asked why we didn't send
out some of our ore if we had so much
of it, and the questioner didn't stop to
think there is not a mine in Utah that
could afford to work if they were sit
uated as we are. Even the Silver
King and the Daily West would lose
money if obliged to labor under the
difficulties that we encounter. By
saving our ore and waiting for the mill
and railway transportation we will
save a great deal of money"
Mr.. Shockley, general superinten-
dent and chief engineer, is expected
down from Goldfeld in a few days,
when the matter will be decided as to
taking out the ore and sorting it, or
block it out and leave it in the mine
until ready for it.
Supt. Nelson would have been back
before this, but the death of a sister
caused him to remain longer in Utah.
NATIONAL BANK.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Malcolm Macdonald and a party Of
Shoshone stockholders are expected in
any day. They would have been down
the first of the week but the storm
stopped them.
Two thousand feet of underground
work has been accomplished in the
Shoshone, in drifts and crosscuts.
Thirty men are at present employed
by Supt. Hoveck. No sinking is being
done at present, all the men being
employed in the drifts.
Two hundred tons Of ore are sacked
and stored in the Shoshone ore houses,
ready for shipment when the litiga-
tion is settled. The latest improve
ment inaugurated at the mine is u
reading room for the men, which is be-
ing erected this week.
The testimony and argument in the
Montgomery-Shoshone grubstake SUIT
have been finished, and Judge Breen's
decision is expected today or tomor-
row.

feet and will go to a depth of $50 fe 1t

it may continue below that, thus max
ing less of an upraise when the tunnel
shall have cut under it. The tunnel is
expected to cut several ~stringers f
good ore before reaching the Eclipse
ledge, as the stringers have been open

which is now down twenty feet. The
rock has been steadily getting irmer
and some specimen ore has been taken
out in the last few feet which gives
exceptionally fine paintings. W. w.
Stockton estimates that it will run as
high as 800. The vein is two feet
wide, and specimens taken from it NAV
be seen at Gorrill & Mann's office.
