ager Rice. of the California Bullfrog.
was in camp his week for supplies. re-
turning yesterday to the mine near
Chloride cliff. While in Rhyolite Mr..
Rice had some rock assayed, with the
result that the n holds his in
terest in the California Bullfrog in
much higher esteem than he did before
the tests were made. The tests showed
a uniform value of 81. This don't seem
sensationally high, but IL is the fact
that the samples came from the surface
and that the ledge outcrops for 1000
feet. and that his same ledge has al
ways and at many different points
shown values of some kind. that makes
Mr.. Rice feel that he has another Gold
Bar. These last assays were made
from ore taken on the south end of the
ledge.
LONE starr. II. Stickney, of
Bullfrog, came in Tuesday evening from
a visit to the property of the Death VAL
ley Lone Star company. He brought
back as handsome specimens of quartz
as the most fastidious would care to
see. The rock is practically covered
with bright. yellow gold-the kind your
Uncle Sam makes his double eagles out
of. Mr.. Stickney says that there seems
to be a plenty more of the same kind
in the lodges with which the various
claims of the company abound. Four
men are being worked, the miners now
being employed in driving the tunnel
which is now in about 80 feet. Over 100
feet of work have been done since the
first of March, the rock being a strong
quartz and breaking very hard.
MAYFLowER.-Tne shaft at the
Mayfiower has been timbered and sink
ing will be started at once. A boarding
house for the accommodation of 80 or
more men has also been finished. On n
of the cross leads a considerable amount
of prospecting has been done, and ex-
cellent ore opened up. This lead is from
four to FIVE feet wide and the material
is of the same character as that found
in the main lead. The hoist is in good
working shape and rapid development
progress will be made.
NATIONAL BANK.-The starting of
the compressor plant at the National
Bank has been delayed on account of
the fact tina the receiver will not work.
A new one has been ordered and it is ex-
pected to have the drills in operation in
a short time. This is the first plant of
the kind to be installed in the district.
The north drifts at both the 200 and
1OO-foot levels are both in ore.
VENTURE NEvADA.-Work is being
prosecuted on the Echo claim of the
Venture Nevada, and good material is
being encountered. The ore is a
ganese oxide. Another ledge is being
opened up to the west of the big lead
on the Black claim. This ledge has al
ready been opened on the Never Sweat
claim, where the values range from $14
to $24 to the ton.
TRAMP observation-disclosures
work on the Expectation continues to
show marked improvement. The shaft
has reached a depth of Is feet. exposing
well defined walls and fine indications.
A within has been ordered and will be
installed at once. Work on the claims
in the Lee district will be commenced
on Monday.
GOLDEN sCEPTRE-The working
shaft at the Golden Sceptre is down so
feet and timbered to the bottom. The
tunnel has advanced to the 170-foot
point, and stringers carrying good
values are showing in the face.
YANKEE GIRL-The Yankee Girl
shaft is down 220 feet and will be sunk
to the 25O-point before prosecuting.
