RHYOLITE, New, March 2S.-Cur-

Gently made a tour of the Bullfrog
district in company with ]. Ross Clark,
has completed report upon the Home
stake, which Is conceded to be, with
the exception of the Shoshone, the

district has uncovered so much low

full whether there will be any need for
much shipping after the mills of the
