THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


averages have gone as high as sS6. The
present depth is between eight and ten
feet and the same character of ore holds.
srARLIGHT.-Starlight development
is also being directed by Superintendent
Smith. A crosscut recently started a
short distance from Mayfiower ground
caught the lead of the latter at a dis
lance of 40 feet in. 1t has advanced 20
feet beyond this point, all in ledge mat
ter. The values here run from $40 to
SIS and the ore is the same in general
character as hat foundi in the Mayfiower
workings. The Mayfower vein has been
traced for a thousand feet on Starlight
ground. In places there appears a heavy
conglomerate overflow which also car
ries considerable values.
BULLrROG MINING-Cars and rails
have arrived at the Bullfrog mine and
are being installed at the workings on
the east side of Ladd mountain. The
drift here is in 100 feet and the face
shows fine ore all the way across. While
the rock gives a good milling average,
assays as high as 800 from selected
stuff are not The company
has the most extensive acreage on the
mountain, and development is to be car
ried on in a degree commensurate with
the present mineral showing. Superin-
tendent Morris will shortly increase his
force and crowd the work as rapidly as
possible.
PEERLESS-A 15-inch vein was cut
by the west crosscut at the Peerless
Yesterday. No assay test nave been
made but good gold values are indicated
in the pan. 1t is the characteristic Bo-
nanza Mountain ore.
DIAMONDrIELD Later develop
ments at the Diamondfeld Bullfrog
show a decided raise in the value of the
material now being penetrated by the
crosscut. Superintendent Lynch when
he came in the other day brought some
samples from the face of the tunnel.
These at Simons' assay office have just
given a return of $1,000 to the ton in
gold. No determination was mad for
silver, but it is thought that the rock
carried at least $50 to the ton in the
white metal.
nave been of such an encouraging ma
ture in the crosscuts at the Amethyst
that superintendent Morris has decided
to resume sinking. Accordingly two
shifts were placed in the shaft Monday

level. The l~aterals east and west from
the 100 are now in, each, $50 feet and
ore conditions are excellent.
DENVER ANNEX-Thirty-seven feet
in two weeks is the sinking record made
in the Lookout shaft of the Denver An
mex up to Wednesday last. Manager
Blackmer says he has a good strong
vein of quartz, with manganese, but no
sensational values have yet been en-
countered.
HoBo-The Hobo shaft of the Tramp
Consolidated company is being worked
in the drift in anticipation of the gem
eral connection at a later date. The
drift is in 81 feet and the breast is in
a highly mineralized ledge of mangan
csc. No attention is being given to the
ore that is being taken out. Sacked ore
is stored in the side of the shaft to fill
that space and the surplus is being
thrown on the dump.
HOMESTAKE ExTENSIoN-Curtis
sion this morning and reports satisfac-
tory development progress at the prop
erty. The crosscut tunnel started a few
days ago is in IS feet and has already
cut a small vein showing some values.
The crosscut will reach the main vein,
which shows 60 feet. on the surface, at
about 400 feet and will give 120 feet of
backs. Surface exploration has shown
strong quartz stringers which give pan
nings throughout the ledge matter.
