THE WEEK AT
BULLFR0G


RhvoIite. New, Nov. IAN uncover
ing OF excellent ore has just been made
at the Lee Bonanza. In the new shaft
started recently and now down 40 feet
superintendent Jack Cox reports four
and a half feet of ore I'm the bottom and
that the lowest assay yet obtained ran
SIS 10 the ton In gold. Ar average of
one foot returned s17f. 20. while picked
rock went as high as s222. Mr.. Cox says
that the ledge is becoming more brec-
ciated and tina the liberalization is
rapidly improving with depth. His plan
Of development IS TO continue the shaft
to the 1O0-foot point on the foot wall
side of the vein before engaging in lat
eral work. The vein at the point where
sinking Is being carried on is 25 feet I'm
width on the surface with a well defined
continuity throughout the property. A
feeder in the vicinity OF the shaft is
cutting into. the main lead. This can be
caught with about 25 feet of drifting
from the shaft and still better values
are expected in this locality. A hoisting
plant is to be installed just as soon as
conditions warrant II is stated. A well
is being sunk near the property. and
in a short time water may be had close
at hand.
The Tramps Consolidated Is collecting
a 4o-ton ore shipment which will be sent
TO Salt Lake in a few days. Half of the
material comes from the Denver and
half from the Eclipse. and IL is under
stood to be very rich. This will be the
first ore to be moved over the new Clark
railroad. Systematic development is
being continued at the property. A
hoisting plant has been ordered and
will be placed at the south drift of the
Eclipse. A raise connecting the south
drift with the shaft has been completed
and the shaft is being continued.
c. $. Johnson of the C. S. Johnson
Brokerage company Goldneld, was here
a few days ago returning from Green
water where he went with Judge v. t.
Hoggatt to examine the property of the
Pittsburg and G~reenwater Copper COM
pany in which Mr.. Johnson has ac-
quired substantial interests. Accom-
%panying the two was Robert Grant. a
well known mining engineer formerly
with STATIONS Independence. MI.
Grant is of the opinion that the property
has among the best copper showings to
be found in the district. A camp has
already been established and active de-
v%elopment is under way with Len p. Nc
@AN% l'NHiaNhN 0ia StiGAo AAaAtd3NA
of the company in charge.
The Gibraltar is taking out some very
rich rock. When the railroad excursion
lists were here the other day some of
them were examining the Gibraltar ore
display and doubted the statements as
to It's richness made by superintendent
j. +. Nelson. A wager was made and a
sample picked for assay. 1t ran $20,-
2O3.40. The material came from a two
foot tense in No. 2 tunnel, which will
return an average almost as high as the
sample, Superintendent Nelson states.
The rich slug is being sacked for ship
ment.
Ground has been broken for the 500
ton reduction plant to be built by the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. The first con-
signment of machinery is expected in a
short time and the mill Will be rushed
to completion as rapidly as possible.
Rhyolite is preparing to celebrate rail-
road day in grand style. The railroad
is expected in from Beatty within the
next 30 days, and the celebration will
be held early In December. The Board
of Trade has appointed committees to
take the matter in hand and a big time
is being planned.
