STEADY OUTPUT
At BULLFROG


The ifteen-horsepower gasoline
hoist for the Amethyst. which joins
the Shoshone on the north, is now
being installed. The gallows frame
is going up. and the collar of the
shaft is being raised eight feet to
afford better dumping facilities, and
also to make possible the building
of ore bins on the Shoshone spur,
which passes within a few feet of the
shaft. The management expects to
resume sinking next week. and work
with two shifts and possibly three,
depending upon the condition of the
air. The shaft is down $50 feet and
will be extended to 200, at which
level crosscuts will be started. The
management anticipates the opening
of the Shoshone ledge, which, in the
Shoshone workings, has been drifted
on to a point very close to the
Amethyst line.-Rhyolite Herald.

RulIfrog

The big shaft on the Bullfrog Ex-
tension is down 200 feet, and has
just encountered the ledge for which
they have been sinking. This COM
pany started an incline tunnel two
years ago and ran it in 1926 feet.
They decided to sink a shaft to cut
it, which was accomplished at 10
feet. The ledge in the bottom of the
shaft is supposed to be forty feet
wide. When drifting on it in the
tunnel values were secured running
from a few dollars way up iii the
pictures. One small streak was very
rich.
This company has been working
steadily for two years. and the pres
ent superintendent, T. c. Tridel. has
been in charge during that time. He
is more confident now than ever that
the Extension is going to make a big
mine. They own four claims which
adjoin the Original Bullfrog on the

FAIRVIEW and HER

Fairview Kimberly

A large ledge of good looking ore
was encountered in the shaft on the
Fairview Kimberly property early
this week. The rock is the same as
that found on the surface of the
Dromedary Hump property, which is
now shipping ore. 1t is expected
that the ledge on the Fairview Kim
berly will soon run into shipping ore
and prove fully as rich as its neigh
bors.
Sinking is still going on and the
shaft will be carried down with all
possible speed. The mine is one OF
the best located in the district
being in the center of the shipping
district. Every indication points to.

SURFACE PLANT
EXCITING Interest

The new surface plant which is
being installed on Black IL of the
Kewanas No. 3 claim has been at
tracing considerable interest in
Goldfield. Instead of putting in an
electric or gasoline hoist and using
hand drills, the Kewana Leasing or
poration has installed a complete
compressed air plant, driving a 6xS
hoist and five Ingersoll-Rand drills
from a compressor. which is belted to
a fifty-horsepower motor. The plant
is now installed and awaiting the
arrival of electric transformers to get
started. 1t has been housed in a
sheet iron building, thus minimizing
the danger of loss from fire. Sinking
will be resumed during the coming
week, if no further delays ensue.
This is the first plant of the char
acter to be installed in the camp and
its operation will be an interesting
study. since it is believed that 1t can
be operated at a considerably lower
cost per foot of sinking than the
plants generally used in this camp.
The plant cost about $1,000 includ-
ing installation expense.-News.

Golden Crown Gronn

A twelve-foot ledge has been en-
countered on the Gold Crown group,
owned by the Sampson brothers and
located near the Nevada Fairview
property, A shaft is being sunk on
the ledge and is now down forty
FIVE feet. 1t will be continued to a
depth of fifty feet and crosscuts will
be u from this level.
Good free gold paintings have
been obtained from the ledge.
There is one foot of good looking
quartz and about seven feet OF
gangue matter. A crosscut will be
run on the ledge for the purpose of
catching the hanging-wall, and when
this is done it is expected that eve
better values will be obtained. Ship
ping ore is now being taken out, but
only in small quantities.
Stratford & Morris, who own the
adjoining ground. are sinking a
shaft on a ten-foot ledge, which
shows good values. They have also
obtained good free gold paintings and
their ledge is thought to be a contin.
uation of that found on the old
Crown group.-Miner.

An eight-foot ledge was opened

Reliance stock. which was recently

Gold Bar

The Gold Bar mine is about to be-
come the sensation of the camp of
Goldfield. 1t has recently developed
tremendous proportions and is still
growing. 1t has a massive quartz
foundation upon which to stand and
by every sign that appeals to the
miners judgment 1t will continue
production for many decades.
A representative of the News visit
ed the property one day this week
and made most careful samplings as
well as studied the formation with
close scrutiny. The quartz is of the
close grained, amorphous type which
distinguishes mines that last. The
values, milling on the surface, grow
at depth to shipping and gilt edge
shipping at that.
Some of the ore as it came from
the shaft was screened and a painful
of the softer matter yielded at least
$40 worth of coarse gold with care
Tess panning, making no attempt to
save the gold that showed in its
quartz matrix. The color of the
metal evidenced that it would run
INTO the nine hundreds in fineness.
A drift run at the 175-foot leve'
is producing the finest ore that i:
coming from the mine, and which is
being sacked for shipment. The en-
tire heading is in quartz that alst
shows free gold plentifully.
No assay less than $50 a ton il
obtainable and much of the ore run
high in the thousands. Only on
man, a picked miner, is employed il
the jewel casket, He is taking on
about a ton a day.
A force of men. as large as cal
