E FROM BULLFROG
From BuIlfrog Miner and Rhyolite Herald)

William j. Tobin alighted from one
of the big autos at the Bullfrog hotel
Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Tobin is heavily interested in
this district. In fact, it is probably
safe to say that he and his brother, r.
F. Tobin, of Denver, have put more of
their own personal cash into mining
property of Bullfrog than any two
other individuals. One deal alone, con-
summated early this year, involved a
cash payment of $4,000. This and
others, made in the infancy of the
camp, had much significance as show
ing the confidence of the Tobins in
Bullfrog and as indicating the value
of the property that could be acquired
at that time. Most of the holdings of
Mr.. Tobin and his brother, which in
clude claims on Montgomery mountain.
Bonanza mountain, at Crystal springs
and elsewhere, are among the assets Of
the Gold Center Mining and Develop
ment company and the Pioneer Gold
Mining company, with offices in Den
yer.
Mr.. Tobin says that before he left
his Office in the Equitable building was
crowded much of the time by people
wanting information about Bullfrog.
"Bullfrog is on the eve of a great
boom,' remarked Mr.. Tobin to a re-
porter. "They are coming here in
great numbers, to my personal knowl-
edge, from Denver, Salt Lake, Ogden
and San Francisco. Nor are those who
are coming simply idle curiosity seek
ers. In the main they are prospective
investors in mercantile lines or the
mining industry. The other day COM
ing into Goldfeld there were 100 pass
engers. Most of these had Bullfrog as
their destination, and they will be
down this way as soon as they have
looked over the town that is just now
engulfed by Reilly lease excitement.
81 came to Bullfrog 10 months ago.
/ nave spent seven months of my time
tramping over these hills. breaking
and assaying rock. My brother and l
have spent much money here. 1t was
spend more. We are going to augment
the list of Bullfrog's shipping mines.

THE GOLD BAR
The management of the Gold Bar
did 191 feet of development work in
September, at a cost, according to
Superintendent Bedford, of $3.50 per
foot.
At present muck is being raised $50
feet with a within. In these lower
workings ore that runs from $50 to
800 is being taken out of the south
drift, which is now in 90 feet. These
figures are iattering and important as
showing increased values with depth,
as at the 50-foot level the ores aver
aged only $26. Work is also being
pushed in the south drift, and in both
instances the miners are following the
hanging wall. A crosscut has been
driven 46 feet at the lower level to
the foot wall, where a body of solid
quartz showing good values has been
encountered.
The management is blocking out ore
all the time. Since the middle of
August last $50 feet of important de-
velopment work has been lone at the
lower or 150-foot level of the Gold Bar
mine.
One thing that adds to the general
satisfaction of the Gold Bar superin-
tendent and his miners is that they
now have a first-class boarding house,
conducted by Mrs. f. H. Baird, form
erly of Victor, Colo.

A strong rumor was current on the
streets this week that a large body of
