Nature of DEVELOPMENT Work.
All the work done so far is of al
exploring character No attemp
has been made 10 locate rich or
chutes. and mining has been don
with a view solely TO outlining tn
| presence of the great veins tina
penetrate this property, and to de
termine their persistency and con
tinuity. Work done so far reveal
the presence of greater and wide
bodies of ore than have been dis
closed in any other property in tn
BullfrOg mining district in so short
period of development work. and
regardless of the time occupied i
developing work so far, the presenc
of a larger ore body has been dem
Onstrated than in any other propert
of the entire BullfrOg mining dis

mining company's ground, is show
to be from 154 feet to 800 feet wild:
