Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, Nov. A.-It is con-
ceded by all who have seen the Gold Bull
frog that that property can safely be
classed among the big ones Of the Bull
frog district.
At the 253-foot point in the main work
ing tunnel a drift on the ore body or
main contact has been run, following
the foot wall for distance Of 317 feet,
all in the ore.
At the 2S1-foot point in this working a
crosscut is being run to find the hanging
wall.
The ores are granular quartz, heavily
oxidized, much of 1t showing free gold,
which is getting coarser from day to day.
Mr.. Callahan, the Gold Bullfrogs con-
sulting engineer, said the other day that
the Gold Bullfrog had ore enough in the
laterals and stopings of the mine to run
the mill on the property for five years
without going another foot deeper. There
are 713 feet of stopping ground in the
mine. The ore assays from SIS to $3.50,
according to a recent test in the cross
cut averaging $72. The product of the
mine, Mr.. Callahan says, will run be-
tween SIS and $50 to the ton.
Mr.. Callahan pushed matters vigorously
during the time that he was here per-
sonally directing affairs at the property.
He came here on October 16, and since
that time, besides building the mill, the
engineer completed five other buildings,
including a bunkhouse, with capacity
of sixty men, an assay office. a bullion
room, a furnace room and house for
Superintendent H. Morrison.
1t has been decided to add to the capac-
ity of the mill, which has not yet been
accepted. Two more batteries of five
stamps each will be ordered immediate
ly Mr. Callahan hopes to have these
batteries which will be of quadruple dis
charge, installed about December 1.
The present plant is Inadequate. 1t
comprises two batteries or five stamps
each, with supposed aggregate capac-
ity- of eighty tons, but in fact It's work.
ing power is only fifty-eight tons.
The new workings of the National Bank
continue to yield substantial returns. A
sample taken from seven leet Thursday
returned $3.50. This ran 21.5, ounces Sill
yer, or $3.50, and 1852 ounces gold, or
$72 40 making the total mentioned.
While this is the average of the vein,
at the particular point where the sample
was taken, it is no difficult matter to
pick specimens which will assay into the
hundreds or even the thousands.
The high grade material is being as
sembled and as soon, as carload has
been obtained it win be shipped to the
smelter.
Capt. E. P. Miner, who mas returned
from a visit to the Ibex district reports
substantial uncovering on the Evening
Star group owned by himself and Hickey
Bros At a depth of thirty feet in
the shaft the ore runs 72 per cent lead
and fourteen ounces in silver, or yields
total value Of about SIS to the ton.
This is the average of the bottom. Capt.
Miner brought some of the material back
with him md to all appearances it is
fully this rich.
There are four claims in the group and
they are situated about one mile from
the Orient, owned by Busch Bros.
These claims, however, are in the silver
lead belt, while the Orient is in the gold
zone.
The Bullfrog Central has added another
shaft to it's working force and is vigor-
ously pushing the crosscut from the 200
foot level The property is situated near
the Homestake and is supposed to con-
tain the leads of this well known mine.
Strikes Rich Vein
Recently the miners at the Diamond
Queen, working in the fifteen-foot drift
to the south, broke into two-foot vein
of very rich ore The ore is a dark red
Quartz, some coarse and some fine.
