CALIFORNIA BULLFROG

The California Bullfrog, located
just far enough over the Nevada line
to be in California, is developing into
one of the bonanzas of the desert.
w. c. Rice, discoverer and locator
of the vein, is superintendent of ag-
gressive development in prog
ress. A clear cut vein outcropping
for 5000 feet without a break and
panning the gold the entire distance,
is being p~rospected with two tunnels
in on the vein. A third has been
started and is now in so feet from
the opposite side of the hill from the
others. The lower tunnel is 275 feet
in length, and shows Z feet of $25
ore. The remaining part of the vein,
As feet, averages IS, and combined,
the two comprise an extraordinary
sized ledge of milling ore.
The upper tunnel is in 1875 feet,
and last week entered the vein a
thousand feet south of the lower
workings. Values as far as ascer-
tanned are identical with those in
the northern tunnel. Eventually a
drift will connect the two, and Mr..
Rice is working on that idea at the
present.
Quite a number of buildings have
been erected at the property, and
takes on the appearance of a small
mining camp. A number of Beatty
people are interested in property ad-
joining the California Bullfrog.

At THE FAIRvIBw EAGLE

A great amount of underground
work is going on at the Fairview Ea-
gle, a y the Miner. Three shifts are
working in the drifts at the IS and
$50 foot levels. A timbering crew
has recently completed the 75-foot
station, and are well along with the
second. In the meantime the sink
ing shaft has reached a depth of 100
feet.
On every hand are the evidences
of the most exacting preeiseness in
opening up the mine in the most
thorough n possible, with ev-
cry detail cared for with a view to
getting ready for stopping out the ore.
One cannot but be impressed with
the fact that this property is in the
hands of mine makers. Taken alto

KEANE WONDER

The Keane Wonder Company re-
Gently opened a new body of ore In
a twenty-five foot tunnel about 700
feet below the main workings. The
ledge at that place shows to be six
teen feet wide, and the new strike
has showings of free gold across five
feet of the face of the tunnel. This
find simply adds to the already large
amount of ore that the Keane-Won-
der has in sight. Superintendent
Walter says they already have suff-
cient ore blocked out to keep their
mill busy for a year at least.
The shaft being sunk for the pur-
pose of increasing the flow of water
is developing more daily, and there
seems to be no question of an all
sufficient supply for all purposes.
The excavations for the new mill
are about completed. and as soon as
finished three eight-hour shifts will
resume development work. The
company proposes to thoroughly
prospect and develop all of their
ground in that district.
The active operations by the COM
pany is stirring up activity through
out that whole section and the next
few months should show wonderful
improvements all along the line. =

RICH STRIKE
At FAIRVIEW

Further adYices received from Su-
perintendent Tibbetts of the Golden
Boulder mine in Fairview substan-
tiates the former reports of the
strike. The exact magnitude of the
new find cannot be determined, as
neither wall has been encountered as
yet.
Mr.. Tibbetts is a very conservative
man and not easily excited, but he
states freely that the ore body he is
opening up is a wonder. Already
several hundred sacks of 5000 ore
are on the dump awaiting shipment
and more is being taken out daily.
The ore that is now on the dump
was taken out In the natural prog
Tess of sinking the shaft, and the
company does not propose to COM
mence stopping until the tunnel now
over 800 feet, cuts the vein. Harry
Taylor, the president and manager
of the company, has always had con-
fdence in the ground and he has
constantly had a force of men at
work since the property was acquir-
ed. Now that the important strike
has been made the force has been
doubled, and no expense will be
spared to exploit the new ore body.
A road will be built at once to the
property so as to facilitate the
hauling supplies to the mine, and
r to the railroad.
The stock has been listed on the
exchange, and none has been offered
for sale for less than SIS cents

WILL HAVE TELEPHONE

To connect the properties on Bare
Mountain with Gold Center is a pro-
position that is meeting with favor
by the telephone people and mine
owner
The company has in an unofficial
way opened the way by offering to
build the line, provided the parties
who have interests will foot the bill.
The telephones will then be installed
and no rent charged until rentals
pay the cost of the line.
The properties most interested are
the Skookum, Independence, Key
stone and Gold Mining Success. Some
of these parties have signif1ed a de-
sire to see the scheme go through.
With rentals at $3.50 a month this
ought to appeal to all interested par
ties. The value of direct communi-
cation is patent to all.

SEVEN TROUGHs

Some substantial facts about the
boom at Seven Troughs, the new
camp in Humboldt county, we're re-
ceived in Goldfield from F. H. Will
Jams in a letter to John F. Krotzer.
Williams says there is a steady
procession of visitors at the camp
and that Salt Lake investors are
grabbing everything in sight. A
daily stage line has been established
from Lovelock and lumber has been
ordered for the erection of three sub
stantial lodging houses.
Williams represents the interests
of Harry Coffee and J. F. Krotzer at
Seven Troughs. These two local men
own the Eliza and Boston Friend
group of claims there. 1t is claimed
that the ledge on the Eliza is two
feet wide at a ten-foot depth and
that the rich quartz is found in
punches. Work of sinking has been
begun and it is expected that the
ledge will be caught at a depth OF
fifty or sixty feet.
The property of the Fine Gold
Mining Company, on the north of the
Eliza, has recently been sold for
$4,000 to a party of Salt Lake cap
italists.

ORE on DUNE

A conservative estimate of SIS, 900
is placed on the ore now piled up on
the Nevada Hills dump. High grade
ore in six different places makes an
average of two carloads per week.
The surface work on the Ida group
has been discontinued, and the man
agement is now driving a tunnel on
the Ida No. 3, the object being to
lodges.
On the Eagles Nest it is no longer
practicable to work the shaft with a
windlass, and the work has been sus-
pended to await the arrival of a
hoist, which is expected daily. A
foundation is now being prepared.
A force of men as large as practi-
cable is employed on the Hailstone

Santo Domingo is one of the few
places in the world where amber oc-
ours in any quantity. The bulk of
the supply comes from the vicinity
of K~onigsberg. on the Baltic sea-
coast. There is occurs in the lower
o~ligocene, and appears to have been
deposited originally in glauconitic
beds of clay, which was afterward
eroded by wave action and the am
Der distributed, though much of II
is taken from beds in which it was
originally deposited. Amber is simp-
ly fossiliIed rosin, derived apparent
ly from certain coniferous trees.
The conditions under which it occurs
in Santo Domingo do not appear to
differ substantially from the Baltic
seacoast. 1t is found near Santiago
city, associated with Ignite, sand
stones and conglomerates. These
beds probably belong to the oligo-
Gene formation and are found con.
tanning amber at a number of places
on the north coast. as well as on
both tanks of the Monte Cristi
range. It also frequently occurs in
the streams flowing through these
beds. The amber is usually in ovate
Jumps, from the size of a pea TO a
mans fist, often covered with a kind
of brownish crust.

green SPRINGS
CAMP IS LATEST
NEW CAMP HAS STRONG AND
VERY RICH VEINS IN
SIGHT

Green Springs is the name of a
new district with most promising sur
face showings ever encountered in
this state. This camp is directly on
the road between Duluth and FaIlon
and is most favorably situated for
active exploitation work, the out
crop being remarkably pronounced,
and ample timber and water for all
purposes.
J. d. Kennedy, of Fallon, and a
very prominent mining operator of
that section, was in Reno recently,
and speaks in a very enthusiastic
way of the Ramsey-Wondey gold
mining camp. Kennedy is president
of the Ramsey-Wonder Gold Mining
Company, composed of local people
and financed by local capital, and 1t
is this corporation which has taken
the aggressive in developing the
Green Springs section. Kennedy's
company has large holdings in Ram
sey. Wonder and several districts in
Nye county, and it is to their efforts
that the present showing is due in
the new camp.
This corporation owns the Arctic
No. l and 2, on which twelve shafts
and one crosscut tunnel have been
run across the vein, and there is now
disclosed a ledge Of three feet, eight
inches in width between walls, car
rying values from $22 to $1,000 pes
ton in gold, and of course, the ore
being of this character is necessarily
free milling. The formation is pos
phyretic and the surface outcrop can
be traced for a long distance on the
surface. The shafts noted have been
driven to a depth of from 20 to 25
feet on the vein, and the values nam
ed are maintained throughout these
workings.
A wagon load of this ore was haul
ed to Fallon, and is so rich and
shows such an enormous amount of
free gold that it is now on exhibition
in a business house in Fallon. Sam
Piles were also sent to the real estate
association at Salt Lake City, some
to New York, and other eastern
points.
The Ramsey-Wonder Company
owns twenty-five properties in all and
these vast holdings are all being ag-
gressively developed. r. l.. Doug
las, the we'll known banker, is a d.
rector, and l. II. Kent, the very ia
vorably known Fallon merchant is
secretary; Harvey L. Burchell, a
prominent Fallon business man. Is
treasurer.
A substantial block Of the stock OF
the Ramsey-Wonder Company has
been placed in the hands of Reno
brokers and will be called on the
exchange at an early date. The
character of the gentlemen at the
head OF this proposition and the CON
coded great merit OF the property is
entirely sufficient to cause investors
to seriously take up the matter as an
investment. The fact that the ac-
tive spirits In this corporation have
put in their " money and expenA
e dit legitimately in the honest
velopment of the property is a guar
antee that the money OF the public
will be judlciously expended.-Neva-

NOTES FROM The
BULLFROG DISTRICT

Capt. w. r. Wharton, ]. Irving
Crowell and Geo. E. Franklin have
purchased all interests in the Indian
group, situated near Cane Springs.
A ten stamp mill will be built imme-
diately on the property, as there is
ore enough to justify. 1t will be
operated by the South Bullfrog Min
ing Company, w. R. Wharton pres
dent and J. Irving Crowell secretary
and treasurer.
Without a brass band the conser-
vative manager, w. ID. Blackmer, Is
developing the Tramp Consolidated
mines into a great gold producer.
Ample water rights have been secur-
ed in the Amargosa river above Be-
atty, and water will be piped to the
mill soon to be erected.
Supt. Milliken is working several
tunnels on the Victor Bullfrog. Sew
eral rich pockets have been found
on the surface and the property may
win a place among the mines of the
district.
1t is reported that the Gibraltarf
has some pretty high grade quartz,
handsome specimens having been
seen. There is talk that the man
agement will shortly begin the cree
ton of a big reduction plant, though
officials of the country decline either
to confirm or deny the report.
1907 finds the mines of Bullfro-
district improving with depth. New.
err were so many strikes reported at
various point. Much interest is cen
tered in the Providence because of
it's close relation with the Shoshone.
Work will soon be resumed on this
property with increased vigor.
w. R. Marks, secretary and treas
urer. and Chas. E. Dutton, superin-
tendent of the Old Sol Bullfrog Gold
Mining Company, Gold Gulch, were
in Beatty last Monday. They report
good progress at the mine, the shaft
being down 80 feet, the hoist work
ing like a charm. The Old Sol will
be listed in San Francisco soon.
The engine for the Amethyst mine
vas shipped December 2Sth. The
foundation is ready and the gallows
frame under construction. Men are
at work timbering the shaft. Mining
men believe the Amethyst will strike
the Shoshone vein.
The Bonanza Greenwater Mining
Company has established a big camp
on their property, and purchased an
equipment for fifteen men, who will
be employed on development work.
Wilmot H. Smith is president of the
company and Captain w. R. Whar-
ton secretary and treasurer.
Superintendent Morris of the Bull
frog Mining Company reports good
progress. An engine has been ordered
for a new shaft to be sunk on the
west side of Laid Mountain. 1t will
develop good veins exposed in the
tunnel.

NORTH STAR AND ALICE

Under the very capable direction
of Superintendent Robinson, develop
ment work on the North Star and
Alice properties is progressing very
steadily. The tunnel is now in 260
feet. 1t is estimated that it will
have to be driven in about 1876 feet
before catching the big crop
ping that assayed high on the sur
face and is believed to be an extern
sion of the vein on Wonder noun
tain, the richness of which caused
the first rush into the Wonder dis
trict. The North Star group adjoins
the Hidden Treasure group, which is
the property of the Nevada Wonder
Mining Company, and lies in the
pathway, it is thought, of the highly
mineralized belt of rock that crops
to the surface with remarkable rich
ness on Nevada Wonder and Jack
Pot ground.
On the Alice, the erosscut tunnel
is in somewhat over 100 feet. When
it reaches IT'S feet the intention is
to cut the vein upon which the dis
covery shaft was sunk. Rock from
this shaft assays as high as 500 to
the ton, and when tn. tunnel is driv-
en- into the vein at depth it is believ-
ed that the values will run higher
yet. Two shifts are at work on each
of the properties, which are con
trolled by Patrick, Elliott and Camp
of Goldfield Mining News.
