THE BULLFROG
MINING DISTRICT
BnIIfrog North star.

The Wine in the drift of the No.
, tunnel is now down ten feet and
is showing five feet of quartz heavily
mixed with manganese. The wall
has entirely disappeared and the
vein is being removed to the main,
or lower tunnel, where the work will
be resumed at once. An underd-
ground survey was made by R. M.
Cannon a few days ago.
Denver Annex.
A Wine has ben started from the
Louisville tunnel and will be sunk
to a depth of 100 feet to explore
the ore body. The tunnel has ex-
posed a continuous ore body for 1870
feet in length, with high grade mill
ing and shipping values present
throughout. The breast of the drift
remains in good ore. Work will be
continued in both the drift and shaft
and the force will be increased.
Diamond.
Diamond Bullfrog working remain
in ore throughout. The drifts north
and south show full Breasts of high
grade milling ore, after driving 35
feet in either direction. In the bot
tom of the shaft $125 values are
present.
Homestake Extension.

tone;nn ;e nrooraccinU catiofantOpfIy
along the lines before mentioned.
The face of the tunnel is in hard
formation, but the work is making
fair Roadway. The surface pros
pecting is entirely satisfactory to
the management.
Golden Sceptre.
Crosscuts easterly and westerly
we're started this week from the bot
tom of the 300-foot shaft on the
Golden Sceptre, and within ten days
sinking will be resumed. The big
crosscut tunnel is now 4S5 feet.
Paducah.
The Paducah Bullfrog Gold Min
ing Company has been very busy the
past week putting their White Rock
lode on Bonanza Moutain in shape.
They have been much delayed for
the want of suitable cimbers for the
mine, and packers to place the TIM
bers at the shaft are rather scarce
just now; however, Manager Dargin
reports that this has been overcome,
and that they will soon be in posi-
ton to sinking.
Lee Bonanza.
The new shaft on the Valley
Is feet, and Mr.. Cox, who has
charge of the work, is very enthusi.
astic over the outlook. The ledgy
has come into the shaft, taking Ill
about half of the bottom, and pan
nings from the ledge matter are ex
ceptionally good. The material OF
the surface is quite hard, and the
progress has in consequence beef
rather slow. The big values on tn,
Lee property were found in a rotten
decomposed quartz, and Mr.. Co.
states that the best values obtaine,
in the new shaft are found in tn
same character of ore.
Butterfly.
A. r. Durkee and son Roy arrive
from the east Monday, after a sun
mer's outing. They will immediate
ly start work on their Butterf
group in the Lee district, Funers
Range, where they have an e~xceller
surface showing. They are pioneer
of the Lee district.
Skookum.
At the Skookum mine work
going steadily ahead, and the sacl
ing of the rich ore continues. Bot
the east of the old shaft the value
are increasing with development
some of the ore being almost soil
metal and running up around tn
thousand dollar mark. Provision
being made to have the ore tran
ported from the mine to the raj
road, and the shipment will
ready as son as the road is ready
receive it.
