on the north, Malcolm l.. Macdonald,
M. E., was found to be an extremely
busy man. While much Of the data
relative to the wonderful resources of
this part of Nevada have been obtained
from Mr.. Macdonald, all efforts to OBJ
tain anything OF a personal nature
from the gentleman himself met with
scant success. The Call Is indebted to
the old-time friends of this pre-e eminent
engineer-for he Is so proclaimed by
the mining men of this section-for
the notes which follow relative to the
career OF the young man who. probably
more than any other, has demonstrated
to investing capitalists the value and
permanency of Southern Nevada mines.
Briefly, he was born in Nevada with
in sight OF historic Mount Davidson,
receiving his education IN California
In 1888 he located in Butte, Mont. be-
coming associated with the old firm of
ceeding Mr.. Baker as q member of the
firm. This firm during Mr.. Macdonald's
connection with 1t had charge of the
construction of the celebrated Big Hole
dam, the source Of the water supply of
Butte and the immense smelling plant
of the Anaconda mine, located at the
town OF that name. Associated with
George H. Robinson, he was the prin-
cipal expert in the well-known Colusa-
Parrot lawsuit, being pitted in that
case against the expert forces of the
Amalgamated.
In connection with this suit readers
of The Call may recall the model of
the underground workings OF this mine
1t occupied a conspicuous place in the
mining exhibit at the st. Louis Fair.
This model was constructed under his
direction and has served as the tvna
for similar models used in convevirsr
knowledge of underground workings r.,
courts and Juries in many of the hotlv
contested mining suits OF Butte. The
record made by Mr.. Macdonald in the
CGlusa-Parrot case resulted in his sl1b-
sequent employment at different times
by the Analganated, the Clark and
the Heinze interests as an expert in
much Of the troublesome litieatfor
which has made the Montana carnn
famous. To but few young men have
come the opportunities enjoyed bv Mr.
Macdonald Dy reason OF his connection

against the brightest minds in the min

equal to the running and has made
good. He there received q schooling
such as few men can obtain. At no

The board of directors of the Bull

pipe line between the springs and the
town of Bullfrog; eleven and seven
Fights miles of nine, seven and six inch
steel riveted pipe, and a three-story
frame hotel OH lots nine and ten in

The town has now a population Of
about nine hundred people, with a daily
increase in population of thirty. There
is located in your town the postoffice OF
the district, the District Recorders Of

main mercantile houses in Southern Ne
vada are also located in your town.
Hon. w. NJ Stewart, for thirty years in
the United States Senate from the State
Of Nevada, and an active participant in
all the events of the famous Comstock,
has selected Bullfrog as his future
home. He is associated with Key Pitt

KAWICH GOLDREED
COMPANY CLAIMS

Probably second in Importance as a
mining property in the Goldreed mining
district, State of Nevada, is the prop
erty of the ~Kawich Goldreed Mining
Company. This Conpanys property
consists of five mining claims lying i'm
mediately north of and on the same
Lodges that intersect the property of
the Goldreed Mines Company. By rea-
son of the lack of water that has here
tofore existed in that mining camp lit
tie development work has been done on
this property. However, there are sew
eral strong veins of gold bearing ore
crossing the entire property.
While 1t may not be correct to say
that the Lodges on this property are
the same Lodges that crop on the prop
erty of the Goldreed Mines Company, as
a small gulch intervenes between them,
yet by reason of the strike of these
veins and the similarity of the ore, it
is very probable they are the same.
The ore, as is characteristic of the dis
trict, is a white quartz, tinted with a
pink color, carrying q great deal of
oxidiZed iron. The values are almost
entirely in gold, which is found free,
or in other words, in it's native state.
The lodges vary in width from three to
ten feet. and the ore is distinctly sep
arated from the walls by tale seams
Assays taken from various places on
the groupings give returns from $40 to
SCI in gold. These values, of course, at
the present time are not sufficient to
warrant the shipment of the ores. but
there will undoubtedly be encountered
rich shoots, as is customary in such
character of lodges In Southern Nevada,
particularly in the Goldfield mining dis
trict. The great values will be obtain
ed from this nineNas well as from other
properties in the district when faciIi-
ties for milling the ores are obtained.
This period is not al a far distant date,
as is evidenced from the report of Mr..
Malcolm Macdonald which is published
in this issue of The Call.
The stockholders In the company are
determined to prove their property a
mine and to profit by returns from its
ore rather than the sale of their. stock.
In pursuance of this theory they have
pooled all of their stock for an in
definite period and until the mine is on
a self sustaining basis. This, of course,
encourages the purchase of treasury
stock, the proceeds of which so into
the actual development of the property.
The company now has. on hand in its
treasury from the sale of treasury
stock over $4,000, and the management
has taken steps to commence the i'm
mediate and systematic development Of
the property. This property, together
with the property of the Goldreed Mines
Company are sufficient to brand the
camp as a wonderful mining district
even were there no other valuable prop
critics In the district, which is not
fact.

The Bullfrog District, situated sixty

cred in the fall OF 1s04 and is being ex-
tensively and rapidly developed. The
Lodges discovered thus far have been
Of enormous size and in many instances
Of fabulous richness. A recent strike.
known as the Shoshone Mountain strike
shows a vein fifty feet wide. which shows
an average OF about $500 per ton Assays
ranging from $50 per ton TO $780, The
values in this district are principally in
gold. although in some portions of the
district high values in silver are obtained.
PrcspectOrs are examining and locating
in the Funeral Range, in the Grapevine
Range and IN the Crested Butte Range.
and it is probable that new districts will
be discovered in these sections. Through
out the greater portion Of this country
there is a scarcity Of water; In some dis
tricts il is the most serious problem TO
be contended with. Fortunately in the
Tonopah District this has been overcome
by bringing in a pipe line some fourteen
miles; in the Goldfeld District water is
obtained in quantity at the Alkali Springs
and pumped into the district the distance
Of about twelve miles. Some water is
being found in the Diamondfeld District
which Will materially benefit the Goldfeld
section. At Silver Peak there is an album
dance OF water Of good quality. At Ida
Valley there is ample water for all pres
ent purposes pumped from the mines. At
Bullfrog the water is in the Amargosa
River In considerable quantity at from
four 10 seven miles distant from the prin-
cipal mines. In the Kawich District thus
far but little water has been found, al
though water can be brought into the
district by piping some twenty odd miles.
In addition to the districts mentioned,
other districts in the neighborhood
which are receiving attention and in
which valuable finds of ore have been
made are the Lone Mountain District,
ten miles west Of Tonopah Gin which is
situated the Neyada-Alpine property,
which produced $4,000 during its first
years operation and has now very val
