GOLD BAR SHIPPING
HIGH GRADE ORE

Superintendent Bedford, of the
Bullfrog Gold Bar Mining Company,
has sent word to local officials that
a shipment of high-grade ore will be
made from the property at an early
date. For over two years the Gold
Bar Company has been drilling into
the depths of it's possessions, en-
countering magnificent ore bodies
and splendid values in a great many
portions of the property, as frequent
shipments during the present year
will show; the Gold Bar by rights
is a milling proposition of great di-
mansions, and the company recog-
nizes this fact in drawing plans for
a concentrating mill of liberal ca
pacity.
When the Bullfrog district was
first discovered, the Gold Bar prop
erty was among the first to be taken
up and developed by several promi-
nent Goldfeld and Salt Lake mining
men and capitalists. These interests
have remained steadfastly by their
holdings, and the result has been
that an enormous tonnage of ore is
in sight awaiting disposition. No
effort has been made by the man
agement to send its richer ores to
market, as the expense OF hauling
was too large in view of the fact
that the company was sufficiently
able to financially meet all emergen-
cies. The Las Vegas & Tonopah
Railroad now is in Rhyolite. and a
spur is being built from that point
to the Gold Bar mine.
The Gold Bar is one property in
the Bullfrog camp that is capable of
making history for the district from
the beginning of railroad activity,
and at a time when all the world
looks to this camp for results fol-
lowing the completion of the rail-
road, the Gold Bar will not be the
smallest contributor OF rich rock to
the Salt Lake shelters. This com.
pany serves as another illustration
Of Salt Lake activity in Nevada, en-
phasizing, too, that such activity
usually is followed by success.
While no intimation is given by
Mr.. Bedford regarding the value of
this ore, It is thought to be ex-
tremely fine grade, as the manage
ment has been eneountering some
phenomenal values during the past
year.-Salt Lake Tribune.

WANT MINERS AT DULUTH

The several mining and leasing
companies now operating in Duluth
report a scarcity OF miners and are
in need of good men at the new
camp. The different companies are
paying top wages and the men at the
camp who are now working are salts
fed with the present scale, which is
SIS per day. w. A. Rose was lucky
in getting six men to work on his
leases while he was in Reno, The
men were on their way to Goldfield
when Mr.. Rose succeeded in getting
them to go to Duluth and go to work
for him-Western Nevada Miner.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES
Directed to the Mining
Section of Rhyollte

80
Much attention is now being di-
count of many important ore dis
closures which have been recently
made. The gold bearing veins are
found in an altered quartzite, the
belt extending northeast and south
west, traceable a distance of twenty
miles, partly in Nevada and partly
in California, and measuring about
two miles in width. From twelve to
fifteen well defined veins, three to
seven feet wide, have been prospect
I'd in this belt, and the values so far
are high grade milling.
The Been Bonanza of the Rhyolite
Mining and Brokerage Company, is
one Of the early locations and active
development operations are being
carried on. The vein dipped out of
the shaft at a depth of thirty, at
which point an average showed SIG
to the ton in gold, with values run
ming as high as 1925. 1t is expected
that the crosscut now being run from
the 6O-foot level will catch the vein
within the next fey feet. There are
several other we'll defined leads on
the property. The company expects
to install hosting machinery in a
short time.

Besides these, there are many
other properties which have equally
good showings and which are enter

what is known as the Echo Canyon
end of the district, are the Inyo Gold
Mining, Skibo, owned by Charles NJ.
Schwab, each soon to be equipped
with hosts, the Iron Clad, Ready

of the Funeral range on what is
known as Burro mountain are the
Burro group, the Lee Imperial of
Dorr, Mcdonald & Co, the Tramp
Extension, and several promising To-
cations. Then comes the Hayseed
and Stateline, right On the border,
very rich properties, owned by Nc
Kenzie and Sutherland. Following
the belt northwest into Nevada are
the Lee Bonanza, already mentioned,
the Lee Bell, being operated by the
same people, the Lee Echo, Taylor
and Grifiths. the Lee Mohawk, being
financed by Busch Brothers. of Rhyo-
lite, the Swanhilda, Door, Mcdonald
& Co., of Rhyolite, the ~Swanholda
Annex and the Combination, on
which the rich strike has just been
made.
This brings the belt down to the
Amargosa desert. There are many
reasons to believe, however, that the
same formation crops on Bare Noun
tain, about ten miles across the val
ley, where the rich Skookum is sit
uated. and where practically the
same quartzite appears, with its min
eral bearing quartz veins.
The present interest in this min
eral section has started the townsite
contingent going. and a town known
as Schwab has been established on
the California side, nea the Inyo
property, while on the Nevada side,
midway between the S~tateline and
Hayseed, the town of Lee. named in
honor of the Lee brothers, the origi-
nal locators in the district, is now
being plated. Railroad facilities
are neal at hand. The Clark road is
only about eight miles away, while
the 'Borax" Smith line. when COM
pleted, will be only two miles from
the original Lee camp. There is also
a fine auto road from Rhyolite.

WELL PLEASED WITH SPHINX


Last week j. II. Shockley and Mrs.
Lola Wall, two of the heaviest stock
holders of the Round Mountain
Sphinx Mining Company, visited the
property here and under the direc-
ton of Superintendent McSorley
were shown throughout the mine.
Both expressed themselves as excep-
.tionally well pleased at the showings
made and were particularly delight
ed in having been able to witness
some of the specimen ore in place,
which was recently discovered at the
130-foot level. Mr.. Shockley is the
president of the company and is
here looking over the ground with a
view to directing operations on the
Sphinx and also on the Nevada Trail
Company, which will take over part
of the holdings of the Sphinx. Mrs.
Wall is a wealthy New York woman
who is heavily interested in Nevada
mining operations. She is one of the
principal owners of the Santa Lola,
at Manhattan. and is heavily inter-
ested in the Sphinx company at
Round Mountain.
Superintendent Thomas MeSorley
has been highly complimented by the
directors of the Sphinx for his eff
cient handling of the property, and
has been exceedingly fortunate in the
matter of u%ncovering ore bodies and
h%igh-grade ledges,-Round Mountain

Another Lumbe r Yard

Hon. j. g. Brewer and Earl
Mowry have ordered a saw mill
lay out and will locate it in the
Sierra Madre range somewhere
between the Spring creeks. 1t is
their intention to also establish a
lumber yard on lots recently pur-
chased by MI. Brewer, in the
northwest part of town. Sara
toga has been short on native, as
well as eastern lumber could not
be had, because the railroads
would not haul it. Native lumber
vas short because all the saw
mills in this part of the country
had gone out of business. With
two new mills in the mountains
the supply will soon equal the
demand.

Sunday in response to a letter
from Hon. A. a. Allen, concern
ing the finding of a large fossil on
the desert between Bsggs and
Wamsutter, assuming the proper
tions of a large elephant. This
particular fossil of prehistoric orr
gin, belongs to the Laramie group
of Cretaceous formation and diff
fers somewhat in anatomy to any,
thing yet discovered and is sup
posed to be the connecting link
between animals and reptiles.
This fossil possess three horns
and comes under the name of
Tricerotope. 1t is a rare speci-
men and will add considerably to
the fossil department of the muse
um. They have two specimens
in this collection of the Mammal
tribe for which they have a stand
ing offer of 100000.
The preservation of this wonder
full find is Il philanthropic act of
which Mr.. Allen is noted. He
might as we'll have had the ten or
fifteen thousand dollars for it, as
the government is making large
appropriations for the collection
of these specimens. No place on
earth offers such great induce
ments in this line as Wyoming.
DIR. Reed is the only man in the
state of Wyoming, who is ac-
quainted with this great work of
science and no man on earth is
better qualified to hold this dis
distinguished position, than he,
as fully SO years of his valuable
life has been devoted to the study
of Paleontology.

list includes many who have en-

public property, is guilty of a ma
licious tresspass, and shall be
fined not more than $4,000, to
which may be added imprison-
ment in the county Jail for not
more than b months.
Now there is no doubt that ii
rests entirely with Mr.. Taylor
whether the participants men,

And it would be no more than
just and right if he were to insist
upon the full penalty prescribed

exercise a fair degree of clemency
toward those who were too COW.
