Values From Shoshone Mine.
Assays taken by mo in March from
the Shoshone workings gave silver values
ranging up to as high as 4072 ounces, and
In gold as high as $nH.65. The silver in
these ores is In chloride These assays

Are Installing Machinery.
Tho names OF the properties which I
which show earmarks of the making OF
great mines and producers are as follows!
Montgomery. Shoshone, Gold Bar. Bull
frog, Bullfrog Extension. Gibraltar Dem
yer, Eclipse, Tramp, Delmonte. Bullfrog
National Bank, Mayflower. the Goldheld
bullfr9g; Montgomery Mountain. Four
the Shoshone Extension. the Thatcher
group and Byron claims at Crystal
Springs, and others. Many OF tho above
named properties which have mentioned
have got to such depth that II requires
machinery, and many of them now have
the machinery on the road, and grades
made TO place their holsts on It's arrival.
There are quite number of companies
waiting for the completion of the railroad,
to place heavy machinery and there Is
no question but that 1t will be completed
In June.
Gibraltar Sacking Ore.
THE Gibraltar property belongs mostly
TO Salt Lake people, the names of whom
are W V. Rice, James Farrell. w. n
Clark and Mr., Shockley and others. 1
had the pleasure Of making the report on
this property for It's purchase by Mr. Rice
and the above mentioned gentlemen. This
property today has large force OF men
working on three different tunnel levels,
prosecuting their veins and drifting on
the same and sackng shipping ore on
every level, The Denver property is also
sackinG shipping orc, and every foot of
work that is done on this property In
creases It's vein in width and also it's val
ues.
One of the Greatest.
II wish hero to call your attention to tho
fact that the Gold Bear Mining companys
property is also one of the greatest prop
critics that has been discovered in the
southern district. i made thorough eX-
animation of this property In April, 1906.
and. in my observation. l claimed brill
liant future for II from its showing in
tho shaft. only at that time nifty feet
deep, and surface cuts and trenches,
which showed a vein on the surface OF
sixty feet In width.
Today their deepest workings are 100
feet In which they have cross-cut their
vein, which has width of 165 feet. This
vein for its width is prac tloally all MILL
Ing ore, and there are thirty feet of the
same that can be assorted and shipped
The company lis erecting a hoist on Its
present shaft, which / presume viii be
completed within the next ten days In
my opinion, there is at present sufficient
milling ore blocked out in these various
mines TO keep a 10o-stamp mill constantly
running.
Will Become a Bonanza.
The Four Aces. which is a New York
corporation. Is under the management Of
E. w. Grifnths, and at the present time
this property Is running two cross-cuts.
Their shaft is 100 feet deep, and In sink
Ing the shaft they have intersected
vein through II distance of over twelve
feet, carrying more or less good values,
and the vein is thoroughly mlnerallzed
throughout Mr.. Grifiths expects at most
any time he Will intcrsect the vein at
these cross-cuts that are now being run.
This property also. In my opinion. from
Its relevant position lying between the
Montgomery Mountain property and the
National Bank. l believe will make one OF
tho bonanzas OF tho district. The Pilot
property Is Incorporated and includes i've
claims. This property also has mag
nificent vein ranging from four to thirty
feet In width, lying northwest from the
Shoshone. This property Is under the
S. Baldwin. At the present time this
company is sinking a shaft on It's prop
erty, and the assay values OF ore taken
from It's sinkings gave SI.0 and as high

Recent Cash Sales.
"Thc Amethyst holding has three full
claims Joining on the MontSomery-Sho-

erty has various shafts sunk on 1t and
It's holdings look most favorable for being
one of the greatest prospects OF the dis
trict Today the Bullfrog has a miners
payroll averaging $4,000 month. There
have been sold In the last four months In
this district to outside capital more than
ten groups OF claims, at prices ranging

Wonderful Tramp Ledge.
From the Tramp ledge on this noun
tain | have taken assays from the sur
face which show values from "A to S2S9
per ton, and my paintings from various
points ON this were tremendous, and In
one instance there was q pannlng That
would go not less than $1,000 TO tho
ton. The Tromp ledge is especially well
defined It Is mostly pure quartz and has
a tremendous width The widest place on
this vein is 800 feet between walls, and
can be walked upon for over 1900 feet.
Tho Original Bullfros Mining company Is
also placing q hoist on Its property In
ordcr that IL may develop II to a greater
depth The ores shipped from this prop
crty have nettcd the company practically
over $500 per ton The Bulltrog Extension
has q magnificent hoist of twenty-five
horsepower Their deepest working is $50
feet on the incline shaft, following the
vein on its dip. I recently made report
