THE BULLFROG DISTRICT
Happenings in the Southern Camps as Told by the Miner
and Herald
THE DENVER

A proven ore shoot, from 4 to z feet
wide, $50 feet long and 10 feet ve--
ticle depth is what the Denver mine on
Bonanza mountain has in sight today.
A large percentage of this ore is high
grade and will average from $4,000 u
$4,000 per ton. The balance viii all
make a handsome profit when the time
arrives for treatment. On Wednesday
Messrs. Wandell & Campbell finished
their contract of packing down the
steep mountain trail, with burros, to
the wagon road at the foot of Bonanza
hill, about 45 tons of high grade smelt-
ing ore which will at once be taken -
the railroad at Goldfeld by the freight
wagons of the Tonopah Lumber com
pany. From there it will be sent by
rail to the smelters at Salt Lake City.
This ore is expected to run better than
$500 per ton. Another shipment will
Immediately be prepared and will oe
ready for the freighters by the time
they are ready to handle it.
The workings of the Denver are get
ting so big and varied that a minute
description of the work cannot be made
in one issue of the average weekly
newspaper. 1t can be said, however,
that the predictions of the mining re.
porter made last summer, that the De l.
very would prove one of the biggest
and best paying properties in the Bull
frog district, is rapidly becoming veri-
fed.
1t is predicted by Manager Darcy
that when the returns from the ship
ment now being made are received,
there will be no further need of dra "
ing on the treasury for funds for run
ming expenses, as the receipts from
shipments will leave a handsome bal
ance to the company's credit, after
meeting all requirements. This with
out any special efforts for a record out
put.
down 45 feet is being sunk to connect
with the workings in No. 8. In this
Wine at the bottom there is nearly 2
feet of ore of smelling grade which is
being all sacked. The rich quartz has
widened from a few inches at the top
to its present dimension in that dis
lance, and it is expected that by the
time connections are made with the
lower workings there will be at least
8 feet of high grade ore exposed.
An upraise was driven from the stope
above No. 2 tunnel, on the vein, and
good ore vas found all the way, a dis
lance Of so feet. What has heretofore
been passed up as the foot wall in this
stope was found this week to be high
grade milling quartz, by Manager
Darcy, a few shots in the wall reveal
ing nearly 2 feet of lively-looking
quartz which pans a long string CT
bright yellow gold. In the winze, also
on No. 2, the best values are found
back of what was supposed to be the
foot wall, and thought to carry no
values whatever. In the stope the vein
is fully 61a feet wide, the screenings
from which run $500 per ton, while as
says have been had from the quartz as
high as $4,000 per ton.
In the upper or No. l level there is
exposed over 4 feet of good milling ore,
with a high grade streak of s inches on
the hanging wall which shows values
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per ton.
Pieces of quartz showing free gold
in generous quantities are plentiful on
the ore pile, a half ~teaspoonful of gold
frequently being PANIED from one
small chunk.
In the future it is understood ship
will be made regularly, the ore
being brought to the wagon road with
burros until such time as connections
are made with the lower workings IF
the mine and a roadway constructed
to it.
