BRADBURY is

Lucky Lessee on the Mohawk Makes
Strike in the East Drift From
Bottom of His 65-Foot Shaft
and Is Preparing to Ship

Bradbury and associates have struck
the pay crack in the east drift from the
bottom of their 65-foot shaft on the
Mohawk. The ledge carries fair grade
of mill rock and along the hanging wall
there is a streak of quartz which re-
turns shipping values Although the
seam is narrow Mr.. Bradbury states
that by careful sorting he expects 10
mine II at profit.
The shaft is located about twenty
feet northeast of the one on Combina-
Ish are hosting high grade. and 1t is
possible that an extension of that rich
ledge has been discovered. Bradbury is
uncertain whether such be the fact or
no, but states if 1t be the same lead it
is coming in from the direction of jan
uary ground. He is proving up the ind
as rapidly as possible
The vein was first tapped in the shaft
at a depth of Al feet, but after staying
with the lessees for distance of 16
feet it dipped out. Sinking was con-
tinued until a depth of 65 feet was
gained when a drift was sent out for
the purpose of again locating it. The
ledge was found with but little effort
and 1T appears probable that with
further development the pay crack will
broaden out and become a money maker.
The rock resembles in appearance that
mined by Kendrick and Ish. and mining
men who have inspected both finds opine
they are in the same ledge.

are changed, and thus far every con-

From the bottom of the 65-foot shaft
the miners are working in ore in both
the north and south drifts. A small
seam of the quartz carries exceedingly
high gold values and as fast as mined

ANOTHER DEAL
AT BULLFROG

One of the quickest see-and-buy
transactions ever recorded in the min
ing history of Southern Nevada was
consummated this week by the passing
of a control in the famous Starlight
Bullfrog property into the hands of w.
A. Stevens, former manager of tha
Buffalo Hump property in the Occur
d Alene county and promoter of the
famous Mayfiower- Bullfrog deal; A. G.
Eisen, secretary of the Goldfield Mining
company. owner of the celebrated jan
uary mine; John 5. Cook the Goldfieid
banker; Judge Lindsay of Bullfrog. and
John T. Overbury, mining engineers
The deal involves sum of money run
ming well up in the six figures and
means the expenditure of large
amount in the furthering of develop
ment.
tender of the property was first
made two weeks ago and within that
short space of time the holdings were
inspected, a price agreed upon and the
bargain closed. The inspection made by
Messrs Stevens and Overbury has con-
vinced them that the ore belt of the
Bullfrog district extends in a gigantic
horseshoe from the Gold Bar property
on the west, south to the Original Bua-
frog, from there to Schwab's Mont
gomery- -Shoshone estate and thence
north to the Starlight.

That a plant will be erected is an estab-

well underway.
The mill will be equipped with two
5-stamp batteries and is designed to
treat both oxide and sulphide ores. II
has been demonstrated to the satisfac-
tion of the mana cement that rock hay-
ing gold grade as low as $40 the ton
can be handled at profit. Large bodies
of excellent milling grade are blocked
out in the January workings and there
is enough of that class of ore In sight
to keep plant OF the capacity mem
toned busy for many years.
Aside from the mill rock, deposits
carrying splendid shipping values are
being explored, Above the 2s0-foot
level the oxides predominant and at the
latter point the sulphide zone has just
been entered. Little work is being
done in the lower level at this time
pending the completion of plans for ex-
tensive development at that point.
In the upper levels new ground Is
constantly coming in. as the direct re-
suit of development and at no point
where the lodges have been explored arc

are the product of development solely
as no stopping has been done since tho
property reverted from lessees to tho
Goldfield Mining company. A con-
servative plan of operation has always
been maintained by the management
and at no time have efforts at ore
production been permitted to interfere
with the opening of virgin ground. The
same careful policy is TO continue I'm
the future. and while 1T may mitigate
somewhat against shipments of sensa-
tional character the result cannot fail
to enhance the value of the mine.

Goldheld was visited by number of
other railroad men during the week and
while they were rather reticent about
their plans and movements, II became
known that they were looking over the
field in connection with the Bullfrog en-
terprise.
Marshall Harris. one of the best
known railroad contractors on the
Pacific slope accompanied by A. ID.
Nash, the Tonopah banker, was among
them. From various veiled statements
made by Mr.. Harris. IT is TO be in
ferred that the Bullfrog * Goldfeld
railroad will he extended from Rhyolite
on to the Pacific coast, with terminus
at Los Angeles Mr. Harris would not
confirm this or authorize the publication
of their plans, explaining that 10 do so
would be 10 Zip it OFF to the Southern
Pacific railroad, which road would un-
doubtedly attempt TO block their enter
prise Mr.. Harris has already had
quite a brush" with the Southern Pa
cifie: he had charge of the operations OF
the Western Pacific owned by George
Gould al the san Francisco terminus,
where conflicting rights resulted in a
big fight 1t is safe TO presume that he
is in the confidence of the promoters of
this new railroad and when he intimates
that Los Angeles may be its terminus,
it amounts TO more than idle gossip.
Mr. Harris viii probably be one of the
active factors in the Amargosa River
Construction company. He is a con-
tractor on very large scale, has had
much of the Western Pacific work and
has the government dredging contract
at Oakland.
The announcement of the immediate
construction of railroad between Gold
field and Bullfrog should have a stimu-
lating effect upon business of every
kind in Southern Nevada.

John w. Brock, president of the Bull
frog & Goldfeld Railroad company was
in the district this week He confirmed
all the facts as stated above in an inter
view which he authorized for publica-
tion.
THE railroad from Tonopah to Gold
field, said Mr.. Brock, will be extended
to Bullfrog but as a separate corpora
ton. The company which is known as
the Bullfrog & Goldfield Railroad com
pany was organized last August and
much preliminary work was done before
the close of the year. though unforeseen
obstacles that could not be overcome III
the time, delayed the commencement of
actual construction work. Everything
has been arranged, however, and the
road will be sent through with a rush.
John F. Hedden, for many years super
intendent of the Central New England
Railway company has been appointed
general superintendent of this road.
Material has been ordered and is now ON
the road to Goldfie1d and it is safe to
say that il will not be mans months
before our trains will be running into

Tonopah and GoIdield railroad has been

terprise. We expect the Bullfrog &
Goldfield road to be fully as profitable
and aid equally as much in the develop
ment OF the far south. AS to our plans
beyond Bullfrog, we are not ready to
divulge, but we will naturally have to
have an outlet somewhere independent
of other roads,.

From reliable sources it is learned
that an examination of the Bullfrog
Gold Bar property is now being made
for the Schwab syndicate: and it will
probably be completed sometime today
From the strength of the market and
the attitude of those concerned in the
transaction there is little doubt but
what the deal will be consummated.
Should it be closed, the property will
be transferred within ten or fifteen
days.
1t is true, as reported, that for some
time past the Gold Bar people have been
sacking on the north end of the claim
ore having a gold value of from $500 TO
s700 the ton. Underground development
is proving up the property in most
satisfactory manner.
