SAYS 1T LOOKS LIKE A MINT
New Strike in the Funeral Range That Looks
Like 1t Will Prove Big One.


Milton NJ. Detch, Esq. Accompanying
the returns was check for IS, 1883 In
payment for the same. The samplers
returns show that there was received
13, ,4l5 net pounds, which carried values
of 1886 ounces in gold and 25S.95 ounces
in silver to the ton, or total values oil
$S03.l4 per ton for about six and one
half tons of ore.
This is surely a very gratifying re-
suit and causes favorable comment on
the part of experienced mining men who
profess to see in the large percentage of
silver values in the shipment, evidence
of durability and continuity in the
vein from which the shipment was
taken and they have no hesitancy in
saying that they believe the Original
Bullfrog will make big mine.
The company is to have new man
ager in the person of Geo. w. Peirce of
Colorado, gentleman of wide expert
ence. Mr.. Peirce began mining as a
boy in Leadville in 1879 and soon after
went to Gilpin county. subsequently
he became interested in the sampling
and reduction of ores, achieving an
enviable reputation in that line. Some
years ago he became a part owner and
manager OF the famous Golden Fleece
mine at Lake City, in Hinsdale county,
Colorado, which in comparatively
short space of time paid $7O0, 900 in div
idends. Mr.. Peirce brings with him a
splendid reputation for ability and is
known as "a "pusher." The companyis
to be congratulated on having secured
his services Development work on the
property is to be pushed to the very
limit.
