OF NEVADA

road is Being pushed with the utmost
energy and the contractors promise to
have it in operation by September J..
This is the road being built by the
Fourth Street National Bank party Of
Philadelphia
The representatives of Senator Clark
assert with ~positiveness that as soon as
their road is completed into Bullfrog
from the south, which is now assured
by July i, they viii push on its extern
sion through Go,dfeld to Tonopah, a
distance of 120 miles, although it will
parallel the Philadelphia IS party road.
Southern Nevada is assured of the
railroad competition necessary to give
relief from the excessive freight rates.
Tonopah, Goldfeld, and Bullfrog will
all be what in railroad parlance are
known as sscommon points, i. e., the
freight rates from one of the smelling
points, such as Salt Lake and San
Francisco, will be the same from either
Of the others. The result will be di-
rect competition from all southern Ne
vada points. There is q bad feeling
cropping out between these rival rail-
road Luilders which portends bitter
competition and possibly a railroad
war. Reduction of rates to the rea-
sonable figures which are assured will
add from Is to 25 er cent to the net
profits received from all shipments. The
stockholders of the mines viii get the
benefit. The mines Of Goldfe. d and Ton
nopah will profit most; their ores are of
the refractory character, which gives
best results under the smelling process.
Blu frog and Manhattan, with their free
mi lirg ores, are not so dependent oil

Gilbert E. Bailey, consulting engin-
eer of the Bullfrog Rush Mining Com
pany, reports that an immense sheet of
ore four feet wide has been opened up
in the main tunnel on the Rush vein,
averaging $3.50 a ton in gold, clear
across. This makes the Blu frog Rush
Mining Company the possess-r of the
biggest body of milling ore on Bonanza
mountain, if not in all Bullfrog.
Joseph A.. Vincent of the Manuel
Mining Company has arrived from the
camp at Millett, New, with a small
consignment of gold ore that was ship
ped to the smeters as an experiment.
Some gratifying reports have been com
ing in from that region for several
months past, and some of the Salt Lake
contingent has become heavily inter
ested in that locality
AS an evidence of the success that
has been made in developing this gold
producer, 1000 canvas sacks have just
been forwarded to the mine in which
will be placed ore that average as much
as 1856 a ton in the yellow metal, the
ordinary jute sacks allowing the fine
ore to escape. The first shipment has
arrived at the Salt Lake smelters, and
regular shipments will be forwarded to
them during the summer season, at the
close Of which the company will have
a reduction plant in operation to treat
the free milling ores.
The ledge from which this ore has
been extracted has been traced for more
than 1000 feet with the vein matter
in place for the entire distance Par
a,lel to this ledge is another with ore
equally as rich, that has been traced
for the same distance, and with this
phenomenal showing the Manuel Com
pany has arranged to take water from
the two canyons and convey it to Mil
lett, where a modern stamp mill will
be erected and the plant enlarged as
fast as conditions will warrant the inn.
