! =. ,. y, Nsuvoo, III. The Bullfrog
West Extension is one of the biggest
milling propositions in the Bullfrog dis
trict. A large amount of work has been
done. and an enormous lot of ore blocked
out. The ore zone in the West Extension
has been proven 800 feet along the dip
of the vein. or 800 feet deep on the in
cline. which is very slight. while the ore
has been demonstrated 80 feet in width
at one point and In the neighborhood of
rs feet in length Or IL the quartz de-
posits were lying perfectly fiat. the zone
could be described as being 500 feet
long. IS feet wide and 80 feet thick The
values. according to the management.
are in the neighborhood of $50 and s25
throughout on the lower levels. Three
shifts are being worked in the cross
cut. and about six feet of roadway is
being made per day. The ore bodies in
the Bullfrog West Extension are being
proven up for data on which to figure a
mill.
Z. J. h, Nauvoo, III. Both the Bull
frog West Extension and Bullfrog May
flower Consolidated are good properties.
Each has immense reserves of milling
ore. Shareholders in these companies
are entitled to and should expect divi-
dends within a year, according to reports
that have been made by disinterested
parties. As to which is the better
holding this paper can offer no opinion.
The shareholder should be guided by his
own judgment. West End is one of the
standard properties of Tonopah. 1t has
already had a large production and the
control is held by minemakers. who
work their properties for the ore that
is in them. Macamara. long under the
| cloud of litigation and developed in
somewhat h~alf-hearted manner in the
past. is now sending three carloads of
ore a week to mill and is in possession
of immense reserves.
! r. r. g., San Francisco. The article of
which you speak, refers to the Gold
field Gold Bar Extension and not to the
company of the same name at Bullfrog.
We nave a late map of the Goldfield dis
trict. selling for 81. The 1906 Hand
Book is the latest one in print. but The
Goldfeld News has a new handbook in
press that will be issued next month.
The 1906 Handbook was the first one
issued and necessarily incomplete. This
new one will be complete to date, with

the old as well as the newest companies,
including the new promotions at Raw
hide. The book will sell for 81 and will
be worth much more to any investor in
Nevada mines and stocks.
II. g., San Francisco. The Nevada
Wonder Mining and Milling company
owns excellent property in the Wonder
district, sidelining the Spider and
H. ;1l-1 Ata
Considerable work has been done on the
ground. but, like nearly all the other
Wonder companies. 1t has been closed
down since the money panic started In.
We understand that this and several
other companies at Wonder will resume
work about the first of the month. The
Nevada Wonder Mining and Milling COM
pany should not be COMPOUNDED with the
Nevada Wonder company. Although
similar in name they are entirely dis
tinct properties.
II. g., San Francisco. The Nevadan
Lease on the Florence has not started up
since the close down at the beginning
of the strike, and Mr.. Argersinger. man.
ager of the lease, having been away
from camp for quite a period. we have
been unable to get a line on his future
plans. The Florence company assures
us that he will be given plenty of time
to resume before declaring the lease
forfeited. We understand that new
parties may take control of company af-
fairs.
r.. @. Dew, Suffer City, Cal. There
are only a few traction engines in use
in Nevada for ore hauling purposes.
The gasoline traction engine for ore and
freight hauling in Nevada has great pos
sibilities. as the country in large meas
ure is fiat. and the surface dry and
hard. Freight charges in the various
mining camps vary according to con-
ditions and we can give you no salts
factory scale, but 1t is a field of en-
terprise worth looking into.
II. H, Chicago. Under direc tion of
John s. Pape the Goldfeld Banner Gold
Mining company is employing two min
ers on the Saturn claim. Contractors

Goldield Banner. They are down SO

ers which range in value from $3.50 to
$14.8O.
