new mining camp in what is known

new and very rich field that was dis
covered in August, 1904. 1t is To-
Gated rs miles from Goldfeld. New,
and 11O miles from Las Vegas, New.
After spending several weeks in
company with Mr.. Dargin a mining
engineer and Mr.. Grossius, both Of
Cincinnati, they secured and own in
feesimple- eight pieces of mining
property about of 10 acres located
practically in the town of Rhyolite,
New. which is in the valley surround
ed by Bonanza, Montgomery and
Ladd Mountains, all in the proven
district. Their property on BOnan-
"a Mountain, &c acres. is surround
ed by producing mines. such as the
Denver. Hobo and Eclipse. All of
them have proven very valuable
mines and are today producing ores
that assay from $3.50 to $4,000 per
ton. The Denver property is owned
by Mr.. T. L. eddie. and associates,
of Colorado. prominent mining men
and capitalists, and is valued at over
one million dollars. The PROPERTY
of the Paducah Bullfrog Gold Min
ing Co. is only about 1000 feet from
the Denver and has well defined
ledge with the same geological for
nations.
AS stated above, the Bullfrog dis.
trict was only discovered a little
ever a year ago and today has mint
producing mines that are worth from
$4,000 to s5,0OO.OOO each.
The ores being taken from the
mines are of the highest grade and
the prediction is being freely made
by prominent Nevada, Colorado and
California mining men that this dis
trict is now and will continue to
prove the greatest high grade min
ing district in the country. The
town of Rhyolite has a population at
present of about 1000 and has the
push and energy characteristic of
gold mining camps of the west. To-
day the town is reached by auto
lines from Goldfield. and by stage
from Las Vegas. The Clark system
of railroads (Las Vegas and Tona-
PAM to the Bullfrog district 10
miles is being extended, and track is
being laid at the rate of over mile
q day and will reach Rhyollte the
first of June. The completion of the
road will provide means for shipping
the ores to the stamp mills at Salt
Lake, and will result in the develop
ment and working of this district
which is very large and high in val
ues. In fact, the coming of the road
has already made it almost impossi-
BILE at this time to secure property,
as the boom is on.
