ings of the Original Bullfrog are within
so feet Of the lines of the North Bull
frog claim. This claim is in course or
patent. The wotk done en- this partic-
ular group OF the Bullfccg Apex COM
pany consists of 100-foot shaft, double
compartment, fully timbered; 15o rect
crosscut from bottom of shaft; 90 feet
of surface work. We understand that
all this work is in good ore. OF the
other claims, about $500 worth of work
has been done and 100000 has been ex-
pended altogether. Everything has been
surveyed and monumented. There Is a
liberal ash treasury. The group ad-
joining the Hooligan property is about
s miles west of the Original Bullfrog, in
the vicinity Of one of the recent great
finds of the district. The ledge of this
property is a well defined lime porphyry
contact 6 feet wide and is said to aver
age clear across s23 in gold. The third
group is located Is miles southwest or
Rhyolite in the Bullfrog mining district.
The surface shows well defined quartz
lodges extending the entire length of
the claims. All of these give good free
gold paintings.
A. J.. l., Pueblo, Colo.-The Yellow
Tiger Gold Mining company owns two
groups of claims in the Gold6eld dis
trict. One is the Jackass group south
of the Gold Bar and c.. o. d. The devel-
opment of this property consists of a
220-foot tunnel on the Union claim, a
shaft on the Gold Brick 65 feet deep.
and a shaft on the Jackass go feet deep.
These shafts are all AXIS. In the latter
shaft, assays as high as $3.50 were OBJ
tanned, but no ore has been had in ship
ping quantities. The second group is
in the northeast part of the district and
consists of seven claims, being worked
by leasers. This property adjoins the
Brooklyn, on which recently a cinnabar
ledge was found and for which the
~leasers are now trenching. Work on
company account was suspended about
ten days ago but III. A Riedel of the
Riedel Investment company, who pro-

and it is understood that he is here to
confer with Messrs Amann and Lindsay.

procedure. Mr.. Riedel talks as if work
will be resumed very shortly as there is
plenty of money in the treasury for all
purposes.
! e. S., Goldheld.--The Beatty Noun
tain Mining company owns six full
claims on Beatty mountain, one-half
mile from the town of Beatty, across
the Amargosa river. The property Is
bein~ worked by shaft and tunnel. n
on our last information three shifts of
men were constantly employed. A ver-
tical shaft has been sunk to a depth of
about so feet. 1t was started on the
ledge as 1t appeared on the surface, but
before it reached much depth the ledge
pitched out of the shaft. When the
shaft reaches the depth of 100 feet, a
crosscut will be run to intercept the
ledge, and 1t is estimated that not more
than 80 days will elapse before the
ledge is tapped. A tunnel is being
driven to intercept the shaft at a
greater depth. The tunnel is in 100
feet. Assays were taken on the ledge
in the shaft which go from 500 to $125.
The ledge is from three to four feet
wide. The pay streak is from six to
eight inches. Fifty thousand shares of
the treasury stock was sold some time
ago and the proceeds devoted to work.
ing the property. We understand that
the cash in the treasury has been al
most exhausted and that another $4,000
shares of stock is about to be sold at a
price netting the company 10 cents.
1t is believed that no more than this
amount will be necessary to open up the
ore bodies believed to exist in the COM
nany's ground.
