THE BULLFROG DISTRICT

vrcToR-The Bullfrog Victor has
held public ~ttentio and interest to
quite an extent this week. No great
strike has been made on the property.

ken has a force Of ten men working
and the developments are of a very
satisfactory order. Several visitors, in
Guiding H.. A. Shipman. have been over
the ground. and they seem to be a unit
In -pronouncing the Victor a conner. The
surface pans for $50 feet, with values
of from SO to Sc, while the six-foot
shaft shows a general assay of $40.
Under the personal direction of Mr..
Shively two shifts are driving the tun-
mel and two shifts are sinking the
shaft. Manager Milliken expects soon
to be able to work a-dvantageously
fifteen men.
NORTH srAR-This company is
working six men steadily, and Manager
Willis informs The Miner that the
force is to be added to shortly. This
week a tunnel was commenced on the
extereme south end OF the property.
This is being run by what is known as
the lease Nc. 2. The tunnel will enter
the ledge some ten feet from the por-
tai. and will be run with the ledge,
which runs 1900 feet through the
property. On surface 1T carried fair
values and is very lively quartz. and
has a width of about three to four
feet. The c~ompany's upper tunnel Is
now in over 20 feet. The tunnel on
lease No. 1 is in over IS feet and the
leasers are now prosecuting in the
ledge. Fair values are obtained and
a winze is to be sunk.
ORIGINAL-The bent of effort at
the Original Bullfrog is toward the at
tainment of depth, and Senator Newell,
the general manager, is shaping things
in a miner-like fashion. The shaft
has gone down IS feet within the past
week. making a total depth of lis feet.
Timbers are following the downward
bore, and the impression conveyed is
that of p~ermanency and finished work
manship. As heretofore stated, the
shaft will go to the 165--foot point,
when prosecuting will be carried to-
ward the old shaft, which is down
40 feet, and a connection made. The
present idea is the development of the
big body without thought of imme-
date ore extraction, and operations
VIII be continued to this end.
STARLIGHT-The ledge at the st t-
light is being stripped in several places
preparatory to the selection of a suit
able point for sinking a shaft. AS
soon as the matter is determined a
shaft will be started. The ledge trends
in the direction of the Maylower and
is thought to be an extension of this
big lead, although it cannot be stated
as a fact at this stage of exploration
The company has purchased the Star
light Queen No. 2 fraction, lying be-
tween Starlight No. 4 and Starlight No
6, of Victor Torney and William Mortcn.
The holdings are being surveyed for
patent by Arthur Miller and George
Sherer.
oHIo-Connection has been made
with the surface by the raise started
from the drift level at the Ohio Bull
frog, and sinking will be resumed as
soon as timber can be gotten on the
ground. The shaft recently started on
the A. T. Fraction. Manager Suther-
land states, is showing an excellent
quality of quartz in the bottom. Will
IAN 1AAhOS VI OiACs q y
in the company, is expected here on the
18th with a party of capitalists.
BULLFRoG MINING-Work is be-
ing pushed by the Bullfrog Mining on
the east side of the mountain, and sink
ing from the tunnel level is being car
ried on on the west side. Manager
Morris says that work is progressing
nicely and that increasing values are
shown as depth is attained.
PITTSBURG-The new hoist at the
Pittsburg is in operation and, Profess
sor Bailey states, is giving satisfaction.
The shaft is rapidly going down. The
ground will be prospected with a dia-
mond drill, and crosscuts started from
points which appear favorable.
SHosHoNE ExTENsIoN-Mr. Doyle
is pushing the drifts from the shaft
on the Montgomery Shoshone Exten-
sion, the same being in now about 40
feet. The crosscut is after the hang
ing wall, which the superintendent
thinks will be reached in a few days.
