@. l.. Lena, Neb.-Further investiga-
ton of the Bullfrog Extension discloses
the following facts: On the west end OF
Delaware claim No. 2 the company has
a shaft down 100 feet. the last 20 feet In
a solid ore body with no sign of foot
wall. They drifted 81 feet one way and
about SO feet the other. all in ore OF
good milling grade. some streaks OF
very high grade. This shaft is only
400 feet from the Bullfrog West Extern
sion on which IT is reported phenomenal
values have been found in the last Few
weeks. Both companies are developing
.he same ledge. On the Last Chance
claim the BuIlfrog Extension sunk an
incline shaft for 400 feet on the same
ledge. Many crosscuts and upraises
were made showing the ledge to be over
40 feet in the narrowest place. Ihey
commenced their double compartment
permanent working shaft on the Last
Chance claim last September and IN
February at a depth of 1872 feet they
struck the same ledge that was opened
in the incline shaft and the other SHAFT
as mentioned on the Delaware claim NO.
2. A doubles shift of wen has been Work
ing continuously and they are still IN
fine appearing ore with no footwall in
sight. The ledge pitches at an angle
of about so degrees and indications are
that the shaft win be sunk another 90
feet before the footwall is reached.
The mine is equipped with a 25-horse
power gasoline hoist and good camp
outfit. Superintendent Tridel is in
charge of the work and is at the mine at
all times as he has been since January,
1904. There is approximately 1900 feet
of underground work on the property.
The company owns four claims which
were decided outright to the company.
T.. J. H., Iron Mountain, Mich--The
Goldfeld Columbia Mining is
now controlled by Hayes & Monnette.
The ompany owns about 40 acres near
the south base of Columbia mountain,
just north of this city. consisting of the
Placer Fraction, Juanita and STANFORD
r. claims. The larger portion of the
two last named is occupied by the town
site of Columbia. The Placer Fraction
is being developed by two leases. One
of these leases is being operated by Wiz
J. Morgan and associates of Milwaukee,
who have a shaft down 260 feet and
have crosscut 200 feet. The formation
is very encouraging. The Walter Lord
lease IN the same claim, has a shaft
down 275 feet and VIII send 1t down to
500 feet without a stop. The ground
was selected by Mr.. Hayes after closing
his lease, as the most promising in that
region and it may turn into a producer
at any time. The Nelson Goldield Min
ing company has a lease or the Juanita
with a shaft down $50 feet. Win. j.
Morgan is also operating a 1S0-foot
shaft on the Stanford r.
Z. s., Boston, and others: The Beatty
Mountain Mining company has five
claims on Beatty mountain in the Bull
from district. The lain are well To-
Gated and considerable development
work has been done. Some of the assays
nave run considerable over 800. A
hoist has been installed and the COM
pany is sinking. The shaft is down IS
feet and a crosscut will be run to tap
the tunnel. which is in 1870 feet. On the
other side of the mountain an incline
shaft is now down IA feet and will be
carried to depth. A full force of men
is at work in both shafts and the tunnel.
N. W., Malta, O.-The Stanley Forbes
Mining and Milling company has a
EIouDY iSlh6 IohI tiiiiiot a.
about three miles east of the town of
S~earchlight on what is known as Fourth
of July mountain and adjacent to prop
erty of the Quartette Mining company.
The claims were taken up three years
ago by Jos. Macarthur and F. l.. Ray,
worked by them. and about one year ago
they Incorporated a company. Since
then Mr.. Ray has been in charge at the
mine and Mr.. Macarthur has made his
headquarters in Los Angeles where he
has been successful in placing the stock.
Considerable miner development has
been lone and a drift tunnel, something
over 100 feet, has been run. This work
has produced very good results. Our
representative at Searchlight says: II
nave seen a great deal of ore from the
Stanley Forbes Of the specimen kind.
Near the face of the tunnel a winze has
lately been sunk showing the same
high grade ore and also a widening of
the vein. I do not hesitate to state that
in my opinion the property is one of
much merit. AS for the management I
can say that I rave been personally ac-
auainted with both Mr.. Macarthur and
Mr.. Ray since they came to Searchlight
and believe them both to be strictly hon.
est and capable mining men,"

opment work is now being lone on the
