BIG DEVELOPMENT WORK
IN FAIRvIEw DISTRICT

Harry c. morris arrived in Goldfeld
this week from Fairview and Wonder.
He says that the Wonder boom con-
tinues greater than ever. Investors are
hocking In there and property is chang
ing hands daily. Last week there were
over forty transfers of mining ground
registered in the office of Frank Lamb.
the recorder for the district.
"The whole of South End is looking
fine is the statement of Mr.. Morris in
regard to conditions near the Snyder
ground south of Fairview. He and j.
NJ. Stratford are Interested In the Red
Cross group of claims located two miles
southeast of the Snyder ground and for
two months they have had men at work
prospecting the surface. They have ex-
posed for over 700 feet a lead varying
in width from two to six feet. From
twelve assays an average of $1S.75 was
had. the highest being $55. Specimen
rock on this property goes 1914 ounce
in gold and Al ounces in silver.
Sampson and Porte on the property
Immediately adjoining the Red Cross
group have uncovered a tale rock that
runs -four ounces in gold and from $50
to as high as 400 ounces in silver, close
ly resembling in appearance the Nevada
Hills high grade ore. This strike was
made at a distance of only so feet from
the Red Cross line and on the same
ledge. After the first of the year Nor
ris and Stratford Will let a contract for
sinking a shaft on this claim.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EXTENSION MINING CO.

The Investors Mining News, in writ
ing of Bullfrog properties, says there
will be a big surprise and an agreeable
one for those who are fortunate enough
to secure neutrality-suspicious. Exten-
velopment of this property is being
pushed vigorously. They hold that
Extension stands
in the same relation to Schwab's Sho-
shone Consolidated as Tonopah Exten-
sion holds to Tonopah Mining, as the
best of authorities are certain hat the
veins running through the Consolidated
also run through the Montgomery-Sho-
shone Extension. These shares have
been extensively traded in on the local
and San Francisco exchanges, and
among those securing large holdings is
Mr.. Louis Schloss who is the secretary
and general manager, and the largest
stockohlder in the Goldheld Kewanas
Mining company. Mr.. Schloss has been
elected as vice president of the Extern
sion which reflects the wisdom
of the management. The company is
now installing an equipment which is
second to none in the Bullfrog district,
and the double compartment shaft will
be continued to the four hundred-foot
point. Here a station will be cut, and
a crosscut run to engage the big quartz
vein which ~traverses the property for
three thousand feet. Mining men who
have investigated the workings are of
the opinion that the property is one of
the most VALUABLE in the district.

THE MONTANA
BULLFROG co.

Very few people knew the acreage
and location Of the estate of the Mon
tana Bullfrog Mining company until
within a very recent time" said Judge
Volney T. Hoggatt to The News. Even
the people of Goldfeld thought that ell
the property owned by the Montana
Bullfrog was a fraction on Laid noun
tain. The property of the Montana
Bullfrog consists now of Is acres on
the south side of Ladd mountain. being
the Hard Scrabble claim. The company
also owns the Montgomery Quartz ode
which lies pm the west side of Bonanza
mountain. They also own the Raymond.
Gilbert and Madge G. on the north end
of Bonanza mountain, making in all a
total acreage of 95 acres. Work is be-
ing carried ON on each of these prop
critics. Application for patent has been
made for all these properties"
The Montana Bullfrog property for
some time was left with nobody in
charge, the secretary. MI. c. II. Elliott
having died, and the president, A.. G.
CbSAhiahs cit III city. III uBuSt
Judge Hoggett came through Bullfrog
on his way from Hot Springs, and find
ing that the stock was selling from two
TO three cents, Immediately resumed
work upon the property and let a con-
tract for a 100-foot shaft. This shaft
is nov down 10 feet and in quartz after
coming through 20 feet of Gaping. The
company now has $1,000 in cash in the
treasury and stock is selling around
10 cents. A 15-h.p. gasoline hoist has
been ordered for the property and will
be installed on January LIST. The order
was given to Fairbanks, Morse & Co. in
Angeles two weeks ago. The Mon
tana Bullfrog was one of the first COM
panies organized in the Bullfrog dis
trict. Judge Hoggett says he has every
share of stock that was ever issued to
him at the purchase of the property and
has never sold a.share of the stock. A
large block of the stock is owned by +.
G. Bonfils of the Denver Post. Mrs. c.

phvolite, New, Dec. 1.-THE late
s,rike made on the Banner is to be
elassed among the most important OF
enc BuIlfrog district this year. A body
- ore from 40 to 60 feet wide and
! 200 feet long proved to average
throughout $50 a ton in gold and silver,
With three feet running as high as $500,
,s the showing on the property today.
There are those who believe that the
Ranner is destined soon to rival the
sboshone in magnitude. 1t is a great
hin containing thousands of tons of
nigh grade milling ore with numerous
lenses of shipping material. 1t is is
the opinion of mining men who have ex-
amined the estate that the Banner will
proye as great as any mine in the Bull
frog district.
The property is situated about five
miles northeast of Rhyolite. Its his
tory is very similar to many others in
this part of Nevada. 1t was located in
the early SOS by prospectors in search
of silver, and later abandoned on ac-
count of the impossible distances which
obtained in those days. The property
Law idle for a year and a half even after
the discovery of the Bullfrog, on ac-
count of prolonged litigation. Since the
purchase by the present owners develop
ment has been rapidly pushed, and al
though it has always been considered
valuable acreage the public has re-
NAMED indifferent to q greater or less
extent until a few days ago when the
story of the strike became known. Then
there was a wild scramble for the stock,
hut the owners had quietly bought up
everything and the public failed to get
in.
h company has one of the most
complete plants of machinery in the
district. 1t consists of a large hoist
ing plant and a 12-drill compressor
capable of sinking six feet a day. The
latter is used in connection with the
Midas, a sister property controlled by
the same people and situated on the
same lead. The Midas is also equipped
with hosting machinery.
The character of the ore is copper
stained quartz with heavy black silver,
and the main body lies between por-
phyry walls. The average surface
values are $40 to the ton across a crop
of 80 feet in width. At the 1O0-foot
level of the prospect shaft it was cross
cut revealing three feet of ore averag-
ing $500 a ton. In addition to this 16
feet of the body averages $36 in gold
and silver with slight copper returns.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to begin shipping at once. The
property is only half a mile from the
Clark railroad, and therefore handy to
transportation. 1t is understood that
the railroad people will put in a spur
TO the mine Immediately.
The workings on the property com
prise about 200 feet of tunnel and 800
of shaft work.

ON LICE
R PROPERTY

Rhyolite, New, Dec. 12.-Active de-
velopment work has been going on upon
the Lige Harris Gold Mining company
for the last so days and Will be con-
tinued. There is a great big body of
milling grade ore in the Lige Harris.
Assays ranging from see to s3s can be
obtained. or In other words II is opened
in such a manner that any person know
ing anything about ores can see for
himself Just what they have on the
Lige Harris. The treasury stock of the
Lige Harris had been exhausted and
the stock of the company was selling
for 1 and . cents in August when Judge
v. T.. Hoggett took 100000 of his own
personal stock and placed Il in the bank
of John s. Cook & Co. to be sold for the
purpose of resuming work upon this
property. The result has been most
gratifying. The superintendent is Mr..
j. A. Stevenson who was Judge Hog
gett's superintendent on the Cowboy at
Manhattan and was taken from there
and placed on the Lige Harris on the
goth of September last. He is a prac-
teal mining man and has taken an ac-
tive interest in the Lige Harris prop
erty, sincerely believing that there will
be opened up one of the best mining
properties in the district. A remark-
able thing about this property is hat
there has never been a sample taken
from there but what has assayed from
81 to s32. Samples have been taken
from this mine by people who have
visited it. and nearly a million shares of
this stock is held by people all over the
world. In the property there is a great
deal of fiuorine ore. This ore is very
familiar to Colorado people because it
is in the nuorine quartz that the great
values of the Cripple Creek district
were found. There are more tockhol
ers in the state of Colorado than in any
other state and less transfers. The
books of the ompany show that every
purchaser of this stock who has resided
or is residing in Colorado is still a
holder of same.

RAILROAD DAY AGAIN
POSTPONED IN RHYoLITE

Rhyolite, New, Dec. 1.-THE railroad
day occasion for Rhyolite has again
been indefinitely postponed, this time at
the instance of J. Ross Clark, president
of the Las Vegas & Tonopah. President
Frazier of the board of trade received a
wire from Mr.. Clark stating that on ac-
count of the newspaper reports to
the effect that the weather has been
very severe n the fact that the holt
day season is approaching when every
body will be busy, he deemed it advis-
able to defer the celebration until the
latter part of January. This was the
position taken when the first postpone
ment was made over a month ago, and
later when the matter was reconsidered
a minority contingent urged that the
Gay be deferred for practically the same
reasons.
Acting on Mr.. Clark's telegram, Mr..
Frazier called a meeting of the board of
directors of the board of trade and a
resolution was adopted ~postponing the
event indefinitely.
