K ATTRACTED THE RAILROADS.
rpless Bullfrog can make good, II
ufe 10 say 1t would not have been a
inter Of attraction for all these rail-
ads Before any Of them were pro-
sasd the respective companies had
ns.r engineers on the ground to re-
,,,r on possible tonnage ana every
,,s of the men who went there for that
,orrose reported to their employers
An the Bullfrog district had won
i,,hly bright future; that It's mines
,,r extraordinarily rich and would be
| ,,oiuctye OF dividends for generations
4 come. Then followed the campaign
construction.
n the meantime the hig companies
Grating IN the district have been busy
slopng with the result that the
Unable tonnage OF the Bulltrog dis
M Is very much greater now than It
n, before the railroads were started
" than a year ago. But now they
ne ready for big mills, big power
,ants big hosting plants and other |
is things 10 prove to the world that |
Blllfrog Is big district with big !
mines. Since the completion Of the
As Vegas & Tonopah railroad hum
ireds OF thousands Of dollars worth OF
hldmg material and machinery have
leen contracted for.
A MINING CAMP.
While Bullfrog mines are productive
b. great deal Of sensatlonally rich
he the bulk of It Is low grade and will
W treated on the ground and In this
efneCtiOn 10 il well to state that the
v,E facilities of the district cannot

81 is expected that the mining COM
rs operating at Goldneld or Tono-
y with send a good share of their

Cstr to undergo treatment, and Is
ul 10 be one Of the reasons which |
ynpted the Goldneld q Tonopah rail-
nd 10 hurriedly extend It's lines south
mi A custom mill is already IN
curse Of construction near Beatty and
nlpmoters expect to get the big end
4 their business from the mines of
Nited All the ores of the district,
Ourse, will come to the Salt Lake
4ey for final treatment and this GUS
M will probably continue for an IN
,1llle period However there Is
ni talk Of building a smelter In the
iI'rog district with oil from SOUTH
California as fuel. Charles NJ.

be brought 10 capitalization. In

things and II they set out to build !
nelter they will do It, But with the

Pts at Salt Lake II may be some
