LOTUS VISITS GREAT BULLFROG GOLD BAR

Up to the present time we have never
stopped a pound of ore, our entire atten-
tion having been given to equipment
and development, and l believe we have
the largest amount of development in
the district.
For some months past we have been
exploiting the country for water sup
ply, with the intention of bringing it
into the mine for milling purposes. We
have been successful in opening splen-
did flow of water about 5 miles east
from the mine and engineers were with
me and are now surveying for a pipe
line. We VIII at once place an order
for the necessary pipe to carry the
water onto the ground. Meanwhile, the
first unit OF 100-ton mill will be built
and unless we are delayed in the matter
of assembling our machinery and ma
terial, the Gold Bar will begin produc-
tion within so or 80 days.
Having now settled the question of
water supply for milling purposes, We
will proceed as rapidly as possible this
adequate to it's needs, and within the
present year we propose to have a mill
on the ground equal to the treatment of
$50 tons a day, and from the present
appearance of the mine we are conf
dent that the mine can produce at
splendid profit such a tonnage for half
century"

After an absence of six weeks on the
coast, Mr.. ]. P. LOTUS returned to
camp Wednesday, the press of business
his return here at once To
a News reporter he said: Being in
the southern part of California, it
seemed best and most convenient to
come into Southern Nevada over the
new Clark road. Before leaving Los
Angeles l had a talk with Mr. Clark,
president of the new road, and he tells
me that they are building their road
into Goldfield. This statement is in no
way qualified, and the whole thing is
settled as a matter of business-the
surveys to this point being practically
completed He said they would come
in through Rhyolite. touching all the
principal mines. keeping up along the
face of the mountain, crossing the Bull
frog Gold Bar ground, and through the
pass at that point on to Goldfeld. This
work Mr.. Clark tells me will be pushed
can accomplish it. 1t is the expectation
that the line will reach this camp by
the 1st of January. l find that portion
of the road already constructed running
through an interesting country, and
the equipment of road bed is very sub
stantial We had to get off at a point
20 miles east from Rhyolite and make

the rest of the distance by stage, al
though the road is actually completed
and rails laid within six miles of Beatty.
This is my first visit to the district
since its early period, and the growth
of the camp was a revelation, and much
as 1 would have liked to go into various
mines into detail, owing to the press of
business my time in camp was given
to the Gold Bar. The general opinion
which places the Gold Bar foremost
among the great gold mines in Nevada.
is amply justified by what l saw in my
visit. The main working shaft is now
down to a depth of 400 feet and has
been in a continuous ore body from the
surface to that depth, without a particle
of change in the character of the ore,
i. e.. free gold in quartz, not on aunce
of sulphide appearing anywhere. From
this shaft we have run out levels and
drifts at the $50, ESQ and 350-foot
points The total underground work
ings aggregate 5000 feet, and it is en-
tirely within the limits to say that over
tinuous ore body. Development to date
indicates a uniform ore body extending
to a depth of 400 feet, having an aver
age thickness between walls of about
so feet; the distance between walls at
one point is 164 feet, and the actual
gross value of the ore now blocked out
in the mine will approximate 100000

Mr. Peterson gained his nickname OF

records in ore production with his lease

about an equal amount of drifting and
prosecuting has all been done in the
past sixty days. Some excellent values
have already been found in their shaft
at the 105-foot level which run from
$50 TO 500. Water was found at this
depth and sinking discontinued in favor
of drifting to the east to catch the high

Lucky Swede lease.
When first cut at depth of 3S feet

The Mary claim situated two miles
east of Goldfield and joining the Blue
Bull on the east was sold this week to
the Imperial Goldfield Mining company.
BY the purchase the company has ac-
ouired one of the best claims in this sec
tion of the camp. The owners were
James F. O'Brien. formerly owner and
editor of The News, John Mernin and
]. p. LOTUS. The consideration was
$4,000 and 1t was a spot cash transac-
tion. Very little work has been done
on the ground, the deepest shaft bsing
only 20 feet. Five separate dykes run
through the ground and each one of
them carries quartz that in appearance
would pass for pay rock in any place.
That ore in paying quantities would be
found with the right kind of develop
ment has been the opinion of the former
owners at all times. Ore that assayed
as high as $50 has been taken olt of
the shallow workings. All three, how
ever, were interested in other r:;ntng
propositions and did not have the time
20 devote to the working of the claim.

All reports from Ramsey are to the
effect that the camp is taking on mark
ed activity with the opening of fall.
There are four stage lines into the
camp and their capacity is sorely taxed
to handle the passengers and freight
traffic.
The Ramsey mines are also giving a
good account of themselves. The camp
is only few months old, and already
there are several properties that are
sacking ore, and others are approaching
the shipping stage. A telegram was re-
ceived in Goldfeld yesterday saying
that shipping ore had been struck In
the Burns lease on the Rather No
claim. On the Rather No. a" cross

runs from $6 to $13. At twenty feet

is in shipping ore. 1t is now estimated
that there is $150,00O in sight.

men dry washing on the ground about
500 feet below the shaft are taking out
gold at the rate of $500 to $500 a day.
In one instance 1850 worth of gold was
washed out in four hours. The amount
taken out to date runs up into the thou
sands and is the sensation of the camp.
About 10 men are employed on the

gold from 81 to $21.
This lease lies directly between the
