KEYSTONE BULLFRoG
This company owns two claims on
Bonanza mountain, and, while they are
making very little noise about what
they are doing, the property is highly
regarded. The company is driving a
tunnel which cuts the formation at an
angle of about rs degrees. The tunnel
is in about $50 feet, and the object is to
tap the Denver ledge, which should be
reached according to surface indica-
tions, with about 200 feet more work.
. The company is owned in Salt Lake
City, and only a very small amount of
stock vas ever offered to the public.
The owners of the property believe
they have more feet of the Denver
ledge on their property than the
Denver mine itself.
