GREAT ARE H
BULLFROG MINES
Development will Prove Riches Of
TranSyaal Mines

The young and brilliant Bullfrog min.
ing region, after its eighteenth month
of progressive existence, is rapidly be-
coming the gem of all the glittering
fields of golden wealth within the
bounds of the new Nevada of today,
and is nov on the eve of supremacy In
the production Of that precious stuff
which all mankind covets, writes a cor
respondent to the Miner. In its incep-
ton those indications left by old Dame
Nature for the guidance of man has
caused him to delve on into the bowels
of the rough breasted old mountains
and expose to view the millions of gold
that now await the advent of the rapid
ly approaching iron horse for the de-
livery of material and appliances to
extract and convert it into bullion.
The achievements Of results so great
has been an incentive to effort on the
part of all others. Especially is such
the case with those two adventuresome
and energetic prospectors, Probasco
and Chafey, whose per~sistency led them
to the recently discovered bonanza
known as the Transvaal mine, and
which deserves mention here on account
of its promised Importance in the min
ing world.
Since we see in the Transvaal how
lavish nature has been in spending its
forces towards such development as is
usually left to the hand of man, it
would seem that it had been so done in
a spirit of kindness toward assisting
deserving ones to prosperity and
happiness.
Picture in your own minds a ledge
some hundred feet in width composed of
an iron stained salicifed rhyolite and
thoroughly impregnated with such an
amount of free gold as to make the
whole mass of high milling value, with
several feet of its width near the CEN
ter averaging 5000 per ton.
This well defined assure vein. though
faulted in places, and at intervals con-
cealed beneath a shallow Gaping. with
its east wall of porphyry protruding
above the surrounding surface, con-
tlnues like a solid stone wall over hill
M hollow for a distance of several
thousand feet, with the presence of all
these characteristics in vein formation
which indicate %permanancy and richness
IN depth. This property is destined to
become n of the leading producers
among the star b~onanzas of the cele-
brated Bullfrog section of country.
Where millions of dollars have recently
changed hands for single properties vet
in their infancy.
On the wake of the new Transvaal
strike came the army of adventuresome
prospectors, sweeping the country be-
fore them for miles around in the loca-
ton OF claims on their mineral discov-
cries, where their energy is now being
exerted with powder and steel in order
to disclose the hidden wealth which
surface indications must lead them to.
On these properties adjacent to the
Transvaal, among them the Eastern
Contact group, there can be seen large
and continuous well defined lodges in
tersected by others and cut by eruptiye
dykes; and the Remittance, Domingo.
Royal, Bonus, Trump, True Tissue.
Summit, North Star group and many
Others, all showing strong veins carry
ing free gold values sufficient to have
induced capitalists to invest. There is
now every probability of their being
developed into extensive milling propo-
sitions so eagerly sought after by min
ing investors.
The famous Montgomery Shoshone,
the great Gold Bar mine and the new
Transvaal strike, each separated by
miles, and clusters of other properties
will prove the future greatness of this
part of the 'Sagebrush State" Where
in all the wide world has there been so
much accomplished in mining opera
tons in the same space of time?
