the Bullfrog Pilot, spent some time late

KUN on Bare mountain. To a Miner rep
resentative he said: THE ore shoot is

proved for a distance of 40 feet, with
shipping material which 1 should say,
roughly estimated, will return an aver-
age of $100 to the ton. Picked samples
of the ore, I have been told, go into the
thousands, and 1 have not the remotest
reason, from what / saw. to doubt the
statement. The metallic content is sill
yer, predominating. some gold and from
3 to 40 per cent copper. The shoot is
contained in a big breciated porphyry
dixie, trending north and south, and dip
ping at an angle of about As degrees to
the east. 1t appears to be the mother
lode of this mineralized section. The
dixie varies in width from so to 800 feet,
and carries values all the way across
ranging from s1.40 to $40.
GENERALIZATION M. Detch of
Goldfeld, secretary and treasurer of the
Original Bullfrog, largely interested In
other properties in the district and also
in the TOWNSHIP, was in Rhyolite several
days this week, looking after his various
enterprises. Since the last report re-
garding the Original was printed by the
Miner, over 100 feet of crosscut work
from the 70-foot point have been COM
pleted and a raise in quartz, near the
breast, for prospecting purposes has
been started, according to Senator
Newell. Sinking at the main shaft was
begun May IA, and since this time so
feet have been accomplished, making a
depth now in all of 100 feet. The shaft
will be continued to the 250-foot point,
and at the 100 prosecuting and drift
ing will be engaged in. This is the main
working shaft. Work at the present is
being confined entirely to development,
and the results so far have given great
encouragement. Outside of the work on
company account, arrangements are be-
ing made to nave the property surveyed
in blocks of 300x300 feet for leasing

ore shoot down has been started. This
will be pushed to the level of the Yolo
tunnel, over 100 feet below the floor of
the main shaft. The main tunnel will
not be stopped, Consulting Engineer
Bailey says, when it reaches the hang
ing wall of the vein, but will be pushed

carry this bore straight to the east side
of the mountain on the Index claim and
will cut six distinct and well known
leads. On the east side of Bonanza
mountain the shaft started on the Den
yer vein at the Index has attained a
depth of 20 feet and Prof. Bailey states
that there is already a big improve
ment in the ore.
GOLD BAR sECTIoN.-A section of
the Bullfrog district in which there is a
marked degree of activity is the Gold
Bar, characterized by such well known
properties as the Gold Bar, the Home
stake, the Bullfrog Daisy, the Gold
King, the Gold Bar Annex, the Gold Bar
South Extension and the Original Gold
Bar Extension. One feature which
lends interest to this mineral area is
the fact that exceptionally high grade
ore has recently been uncovered on the
Gold Bar and Homestake holdings. This
high grade material was first encoun-
tered in the vicinity of the north shaft
on the Gold Bar and carries a content
in gold of between 5000 and $500 to the
ton. 1t is now being sacked to await
shipment. Practically the same grade
and quality of ore has been discovered
on the Homestake.
At the Gold Bar a station has been
cut at the 250-foot level, and a general
development is proceeding at the usual
rapid rate. over LOO feet in all has
been accomplished since operations
were begun. Fifteen men are now being
worked.
At the Homestake, which ends on the
) Gold Bar, the incline shaft on the hang
ing wall is down 2S5 feet, and the drlft
from the 2OO-foot level has advanced to
the 95-foot point in ore for this DIS
lance. The crosscut started from the
20O-foot is being driven to the foot wall
and is now in 80 feet.
