Strike at Bulifrog.

"a new strike of considerable
magnitude is reported from the Bull
frog district about five miles from
the town of that name. The ledge
is of brown quartz, twenty feet wide
and we'll exposed for thousand feet.
It pans heavy in gold from beginning
to end on the surface and the owners
believe it is the richest thing IN that
part of the country" says Harry F..
Christensen, who came in from Bull
frog last Sunday night, "As yetno
assays have been made but the ore
will no doubt run well up into the
thousands.

ing every preparation for the opening
up Of what promises to be one of tn

tarv Of state of the Manhattan Ana
conda mining company of Nevada, the
: wanhattan Hidden Treasure mining
aoronanv Of Nevada, and the Baxter
Springs mining company of Nevada.
Those companies contain some of
+ho hest properties in the Manhattan

lanes G. Sweeney, George S. Nixon,
Jobn S. Cook, Thomas E. Edwards,
James Donovan, Frank Hart, j. H.
Sullivan, c.. A. Desmond and c. A..
Barsness.
Active development upon the proper
ties of four of the above named COM
panies has already begun and judging
from the properties included in these
companies, and the men back of them,
it is safe to predict that these compan-
les will be in the front ranks of the
future dividend payers of the new camp
of Manhattan.
The Manhattan Gold Crater gold min
ing company has been incorporated
with the following officers: DR.. Edw
Bowes, president; W. S. Johnson, vice
president; George Summerheld, treas

ster celebration will be held as soon as
the first of the two railroads being
built into the campis completed. Word
from Las Vegas is to the effect that
the extension of the Clark road is laid

Eden.

Several strikes have been made dur
ing the past ten days south of Eden.
One in particular was made by a
stranger from Missouri, who arrived in
the camp last month to look up the
ground he had secured some time ago.
He got an old Nevada miner who was
familiar with the country to assist him
in finding his claims. They repaired to
the ground and the old-timer said:
''You have been buncoed; this ground
isn't worth five cents. The Mis-
sourian, however, wanted to be shown
and he started sinking a shaft in the
soft wash. He worked hard for three
days, when he tapped ledge that not
only surprised him but everybody in
that section. Assays were obtained
that went as high as $4,000 to the ton
in gold. The Missourian was shown
and is now willing to show others. He
claims to have the garden of Eden, or
at least a corner of it.
Reveille.
Herman Reischke of Reveille was in

Star group for Herman Reischke. Las
Saturday at a depth of only rs feet tn
men encountered ledge more than sil
feet wide, which gives values of owe
5000 ton.
Frank Kitzkie has just opened NJ
fine body of ore on the ground owne'

The Booth.

In addition to the shaft being sunk
by the company on the Booth property
three sets Of leases are being operated
with most encouraging showings. In
the shaft on lease No. owned by
Price & Co., strong ledge was recent
" cut which contains splendid values.
A winze is being sunk on the lead with
the idea of exploring along its trend at
a greater depth. Just below the Price
holdings the Dick brothers are, accord
ing to the Goldfeld News, running two
tunnels, the objective point being the
big dixie which outcrops $50 feet up the
hill from their starting points. In the
esst bore three-foot ledge has been
followed for about twenty-five feet and
is now showing large amount of iron
sulphides. This leads the lessees to
think that an ore shoot is being APP
preached and they are putting forth
every effort tap it. The shaft is now
down 40 feet and the hoist will be
ready for operation in few days.
Silver Peak.
Senator T. L. Oddie, R. B. Davis,
Ed Knapp and E. c. Simpson left yes
terday for Silver Peak. Messrs. Oddie

of the visit is to thoroughly inspect the
property which is about to change
ownership.
TOnopah Mining Co.
The Tonopah Mining Co. is steadily
increasing its equipment as demanded
by the rapid development of it's mines.
1t has just ordered six additional Inger-
soll-Sergeant air drills, and plans are
being made for doubling the compressor
capacity at the Mizpah shaft. An
equipment of machine tools for re-
pair shop at the above mine has also
been ordered from Harron, Rickard
and McCone of San Francisco.
A New Strike.
An important strike was made last
Sunday between Hanapah and Clifford
by Van Moore of the latter place and a
stampede is now on to the new dig
gings. The ledge uncovered is fully
sixty feet wide and gives high values in
gold and silver The find was made in
the low porphyry hills south of the
forks of the Stone Cabin and Clifford
! roads.

Palmetto.

Ore that pans and assays high has
been opened up at Palmetto, twenty
miles southwest Of Goidfeld and two
miles west of the old Palmetto mill.
The ledge from which the phenomenal
values are being obtained is about 5
feet in width and was uncovered at a
depth of 25 feet on the Harwood-Gillan
lease on the Burlington claim Of the
Palmetto and Death Valley M. & M.
company's estate. Several hundred
pounds of the rich stuff has already
been sacked and the pile is being added
to daily. The company on whose
ground the find was made, was or
ganized by Harry Stimler, pioneer of
Tonopah and Goldfeld and Henry
Jaeggers an old-time resident of Ida
and Palmetto. Seven leases were let
on the property some time ago and it
was on one of these that the strike was
