Newsy Notes From the Districts
to the South

yelopmeut in this section is most en-
cuuraging to prospectors and miners,
and fully warrants the rush of peo-
pie and capital into the district that
IL now on. The Montgomery-Sho-
shone properly is being worked by as
many men rs can be proftably en-
ployed and the moment there is a
place for another miner he is at once
engaged. Development daily adds to
the value Of the bonanza and accounts
for the soaring of the stock. An
other shipment of high grade ore will
90 out in q few days and the man
asement expects it will considerably
eclipse the first one in value. The
dump of milling ore that will average
anywhere from $50 to 500 is grow
ing at the rate of 5 to s tons per day.
The best ore in the mine comes from
tie winze that is being put down from
the tunnel level. E~xcavating for the
foundation for the stamp mill that
the company will put in at the
place is nearing completion and, 1T is
understood the entire plant is now on
the way from the shops. The com
munity is to he congratulated upon
the energy the management is show
ing.
What is true of the Montgomery
Shoshone is equally true of the Gold
Bar properties. Development is I'M
der way on three shafts that are be-
ing rushed downward by two shifts
each. Some excellent ore is coming
Gt and considerable is being saved
for shipment to the smelter. The
Gold Bar, however, is a milling prop
o~sition. Good values are found on
the surface for more than l,500 feet.
The company is now considering the
ergction OF q mill, but nothing def
mite viii lie done until the three
shafts have gained much more depth
and drifts and crosscuts more fully
exploit the ground.
The National Bank on LadG noun
tain has y gasoline hoist on it's prop
erty that will be working before this
letter is in print. This is the first
hoist in the district save only the
whim or two. The National Bank is
Improving with development and is
considered by many to be the second
best proprty in camp. Development
Is being pushed with two shifts.
Adviees from the property owned
by the Original Bullfrog company
are to the effect that better ore is be-
ing broken there now than even be
fore in its history. 1t the few sam
piles that are being shown about are
anything Hks an average of the
grade of the mineral mined, the story
is certainly true. But it is not from
the high grade ore that the manage
ment expects to get dividends. Share
holders Will be remembered in the
near future from the great quantity
Of $50 rock that the mine contains.
Experts are 10Y trying to come to
some definite conclusion as to the
kind of mill the Bullfrog needs and
when this is lone ample funds for its
erection VILE he quickly forthcoming.
A corporation of which the public
knows little, although it was third
to capitalize in the district, is the
Gold Center Mining & Development
Company. 1t has undisputed title to
five groups and two other claims and
active development of the estate Is
now under way by Manager w. j..
robin. Three claims join the famous
Montgomery -Shoshone, another joins
the Denver on. the Bonanza or Bell
and Jones mountain, while still an
ether has, the same ledge as that
shown in the properties of the Bull
frog Mining company. 1t will be
nassing. strange if the Gold Center
Mining company does not open up at
least three mines on its property and
i. is possible that each group has one
q. more mines upon 1t.
1.-THE Decillion group, east OF the
kmargosa and about four miles from
tayvn, is being developed by as many
men as can be proftably employed.
Values run mostly in silver. Ex-Sec-
natary of. War Meiklejohn is putting
up the money.
A few miners are at work pros
becting the clai~ls of the Shoshone-
Bullfrog company. Present develop
rient is principally confined to a spot
about 1000 feet northwest from the
big bonanza of the camp. The for
~cration is changing in the shaft and
there is no telling what day good ore
may be encountered. This is one of
the few properties that are listed ON
both of the San Francisco exchanges.
The section east of the town OF
peatty ia receiving more attention at
