IMPORTANT STRIKE MADE
in THE BULLFR0G DISTRICT

The Commodore Mining mpa or
ganized a short time ago to develop a
group of claims near the Gold Bar, has
a hosting plant on the way and expects
to begin extensive sinking operations in
a few days. J. Ross Clark. president
OF the Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad,
Is one of the directors. and Dorr, Nc
Donald & Co, of Rhyolite. are heavily
interested in the enterprise. The group
includes six claims and were the first
recorded locations in the Bullfrog dis
trict. The main vein extending through
the property for a distance of 5000 feet
parallels the Gold Bar, and is said to
show good surface values. h shaft
Is to be SUM to a depth of 800 feet be-
fore any lateral work is engaged in.
The Gold Bullfrog Mining and Mill
ing company operating near Indian
Springs has a 35-ton reduction plant on
the ground and will have it in shape for
operation in a very short time. The
workings were recently examined by the
company's expert, E. j. Callahan, and
the results are said to have been very
satisfactory. There are is lodges on
the property ranging in width from 20
~ foA0CS AAOAh civ u tOVU
to the ton. The main development at
present is being confined to the 2OO-foot
ledge.
The Golden Scepter has Just received
a compressor plant which is now being
installed and will be ready for operation
in a few days. The drills will be placed
in both crosscuts from the 300-foot
level, and sinking will also be continued
from this level. The main tunnel is
now in over 600 feet and a few days ago
a hve-foot vein yielding a good average
was cut. This tunnel is expected to
reach the big Hobo ledge at any time.
Advices from Greenwater state that
the conflicting townsites of Ramse and
Kunze, both known as Greenwater. have
been consolidated, a new location
chosen, and the new Greenwater is the
real and only one. The Schwa people
are said to be largely interested in the
new town. Lots are to be transferred
and relative locations given the holders
in the former sites. The situation is
understood to be admirable. A well is
being bored and it is thought that water
will be procured without cay difficulty.
The Poorman group of six claims in
Greenwater has beer sold by Busch
Brothers and associates of Rhyolite to
Price & Co. of New York for an I'M
known consideration. The new people,
it is understood, will start operations
in a short time.
The Greenwater Amalgamated Cop
per company has just been organized by
Busch Brothers, Barney Hage and
others of Rhyolite. The company has
Is claims, compact, Situate in the Will
low Creek country, a few miles south
of G~reenwater. Copper assays as high
as 16 per cent and gold as high as 81,
it is stated have been obtained from the
groupings.
The Montgomery Shoshone is prepar-
ing to make a 2,000-ton ore shipment to
the smelters at Salt Lake just as soon
as the railroad reaches the property,
which will be within the next few days.
The first consignment of machinery for
the 500-ton reduction plant to be erected
is expected this week. The company has
closed a contract with the Nevada Pow
er, Mining and Milling company for
electric power to operate the mill. The
power company is now constructing its
lines south from Goldfeld and is ex-
pected in camp inside of 60 days.
