THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


TRAMPs--There will he no cessation
in development at the Tramp CONSOLE
dated on account of the hot weather.
Work will be crowded all summer with
a view to creating big reserves for the
milling plant which enters into the i'm
mediate plans of the management. De-
tails at this end will be perfected and
the machinery ordered soon after the
railroad reaches camp. In the meantime
regular work is proceeding with salts
factory results. The raise on the Nell
son vein, recently caught in the crosscut
from the main Tramp tunnel is nearing
a connection with the bottom of the
Nelson shaft. While the primary OBJ
ject of this raise is to afford v~entila-
tion, II is opening up an excellent quality
of mill ore. AS soon as the connection
is made drifts will be carried in both
directions on the Nesol vein. At the
Eclipse the crosscut is still being
pushed west for the Hobo vein and
drifts are being advar led north and
south on the Eclipse vein. Good mill
material appears in both drifts. The
headings in tunnels 3, 4 and 5 at the
Denver are being advanced as rapidly
as possible. Three and four are drifts
while five is a crosscut to catch the vein
lying west of the main Denver vein. A
connection between No. 4 and the winze
sunk from No. 8 is to be made to afford
air. This work is being carried from
the bottom of the winze and also from
the face of the tunnel
Is
expected that the tests being made on

for the company. in Denver will be COM
pleted within 80 days. This will be fol-
lowed by an order for a big reduction
plant. OF course at this time IL cannot
be stated what character of treating
machinery will be required, the object
of Mr.. Fields Investigations being to
determine this point. But 1t is known
that the plant to be installed will be in
keeping with the extent of the merged
properties. 1t is expected to have these
matters well in hand soon, and the
plans of the plant will be ready to place
with the machinery people soon after
the arrival of the railroad. The com-
pany is making preparations to take
care of the big force which will be re-
quired upon the installation of the mill
ing plant. A 60x1o0-foot boarding house
is under construction. This will accom-
modate $50 men. Every preparation is
being made for the improvements and
the increased development proposed
CALIFORNIA BULLFRoG. - On
Wednesday double shifts were started
in each of the three tunnels on the
property of the California Bullfrog.
Tunnels No. / and 2 are on the east side
of the and are under cover
respectively IS and 35 feet; tunnel No.
8, known as the west tunnel, is simply
faced up and starting from the west
side of the hill. These tunnels are de-
signed to crosscut the immense ledge
which ~traverses the California-Bullfrog
ground, and which can be followed on
the surface fully 5000 feet. A Miner
reporter visited the property Saturday
and he has no hesitancy in stating that
the California-Bullfrog has one of the
largest and most perfect fissure veins
he has seen in the Bullfrog or South
Bullfrog districts. The vein, which
measures in places on the surface 80
feet, is formed principally of a fine
grade of white quartz, with occasional
deposits of tale and
GIBRALTAR.-Free gold shows in
all the workings at the Gibraltar and In
some there is shipping material rum
ming as high as $500 90 the ton. The
latter condition obtains in tunnel No /,
while in tunnels Nos. 2 and 3 the ship
ping product is in the neighborhood of
5000. An excellent quality of ore has
also been opened by the Wine between
tunnels No. 1 and No. 2. Superintendent
Nelson is ready to start stopping in five
of the workings at the property, and
shipment of the high grade stuff will
begin upon the arrival of the railroad.
The hosting plant recently received is
being installed at the LIE Roi shaft on
the Eclipse vein and will be ready for
operation in about a week.
NATIONAL BANK.-One of the daily
assays made at the National Bank re-
Gently gave a return of $941.60. The
material was from the north drift from
the 200-foot level, now in about zoo feet
and was not selected with a view 10
making a picture yield, but the rock
used in the ordinary tests to establish
the value of the ground.
