HAs' THE GOODS
The Bullfrog district Is in bet
ter shape right today, notwithst md
ing the panic and the hard times
than it has ever been before in Its
history" said w. NJ. Claypooi, a rep
resentative of the American Smelling
and Refining company after he had
completed an inspection of the lead
ing properties in the district.
II will tell you why" continued
Mr.. Claypool. I'm the boom days
when money came easy with the pro-
moter and when the separation game
flourished, nc great attention was
paid to real mining. Now with the
eastern supply of cash shut off on
account of the panic, it is a question
of dig, and the companies that have
w~eathered the financial storm are
making good. AS ID general PROPOSE
tion panics are not to be invited, but
you will find that the present one will
be the means of putting the Bullfrog,
and other districts as well, on a firm
err business basis. The average pro-
moter is not greatly absorbed in the
matter of making mines. If he
should get a good showing he Is
afraid to go after it for fear he will
shoot it away, and therefore lose the
advertising effect. When he needs
money he sends out another bunch nj
circulars and does some more separa-
tion.
Il was in the Bullfrog district VIC
years ago, and | formed a very goo
opinion of 1t at that time. The pres
ent visit has not changed my opinion
but it has very greatly increased m.
estimation of the camp. 1t is a go u
one and unquestionably destined &
make a great producer. am Ger
tainly glad to see that you are nov
down to a digging basis. Hereafter
with the elimination of your advent
urer class, your progress will be sub
stantial, and your camp will rest ca
tirely on its merits-and its merit
are exceptional.

Il also visited the Diamond Quc'

Q state that | think this will be one
the important producing regions

tial to a formation of this kind. !
