The business men and brokers of
Rhyolite have decided to make a con
certed effort to boost the Bullfrog dis
trict by issuing advertising matter con
corning the merits of the camp and
make a general distribution of same.
The plan is to follow a legitimate
line of publicity, stating the facts re-
lating to mine development, output of
raw ores, concentrates and bullion, OPP
portunities for investment etc. $50
that the people may know
The Bullfrog district has been the
target for knockers galore in the last
few months. The district has been mis-
represented, maligned, slandered and
Knocked until the report has been wide
spread that BuIlfrog is n dead one.
OF course the thousands of people
who read the local newspapers weekly
and those who read the many columns
OF news that is copied in other papers
from the local sheets, know that Bull
frog is the third largest producing camp
in Nevada, that there are several mills
in successful operation, that leasers are
making money here, that our banks
went through the panic without a fail
ure, that there are less idle men here in
proportion to population than in any
camp in Nevada, that the mines and
prospects look better today than ever
before, and hat really there ism t any
cause for alarm over the prospects of
Bullfrog, but rather every reason to be
hopeful for the future.
There are thousands of people who
appreciate these facts, but there are
thousands of people who do not. To
reach the investors who are not in
Termed concerning the true conditions
here it is proposed to issue Illustrated
folders, with sufficient subject matter
to present the merits of the camp in an
intelligent manner; also to use extra
copies of the local papers by the thou
sands so that strangers may read the
news just as it is placed in print week
by week.
The scheme is a good one, and it
should have been taken up long ago.
Legitimate publicity never hurts, while
wildcat publicity always hurts. Legitf-
mate publicity will help the BuIIfrog
district, because the camp has merit,
and approaching this fact, investors

THE A HOLE

Up to September 30th there has been
shipped from the Black Hole mine to
the sampler at Hazen 1000 tons of ore
which averaged over SO per ton. There
has been milled at the company mill in
Chafey 376 tons of ore which averaged
s25 per ton, the mill saving 50 per cent
of the value. There are now 1900 tons
mined and extracted, but not yet
treated or shipped, making a total pro-
duction for three months of consider
ably over 5000 tons of ore, mostly
high grade. -Chafey News.

OLD MINE RELOCATED

west of Chafey, which was worked dur.
ing the eos and '70s for silver, and
which has been idle for many years
was relocated this year by A. ]. Jeftst

SHELTER FOR NEVADA

Rhyolite Bulletin. The Bulletin is
authorized to announce to the ore ship
pers of the Bullfrog district that the t.
& T. railroad people have taken over
the Needles smelter and will in a few
days be prepared to offer a very low
rate on ores from this district. This
reduction plant has just been enlarged
and extensively repaired, and is now in
first-class shape. The news given above
is most welcome to the entire southern
Nevada country, as with the Needles
smelter in good working order the long
and expensive haul to Salt Lake and
Murray, Utah, can be eliminated.

There is no camp in the west that
has been attracting so much favorable
attention as Yerington during the past
month or two, for events in the copper
district of Lyon county have been com
ing swift and certain for those operat-
ing mines there. During the past two
weeks very significant news has come
from both sides of the mountain range
separating Mason and Smith valleys,
while from the far eastern rim of
Mason valley has come word of splen-
did copper sulphide developments at
depth.
First the Mason Valley company en-
counters an entirely new ore body on
the third tunnel level, a resource en-
tirely independent of the older ore
bodies on which energy has been cen
tered during the life of this mine. This
demonstrates that the southeastern sec
ton of Mason Valley acreage will
prove as prolific in results as that por-
tion of the property reaching out to-
wards the Bluestone territory.
Following the announcement that the
Nevada-D Douglas company has demon
strated the existence of the rich chal-
eoeite ore body on the 650-foot level,
the same ore body that was opened and
is still being developed on the 550-foot
level. comes the word that an entirely
new ore body, 100 feet west of the chal-

Sixty men are working at the Smith
horax mines near Death Valley juno
tion, and the force will be increased in
a short time. 1t has the reputation of
icing an ideal camp for working men,
good accommodations, etc. This boraS
mine is one of the best in the world and
was the cause of building the I. & t.
railroad. The Borax Smith people
should now put a 20-car train on their
berax ads in place of the superseded
20-mule team.-Beatty Miner.

OLD BELMONT

Tuesday morning the whistle OF
the new mill of the Security Reduction
company at Belmont was blown for the
first time and the machinery set in mo
ton. The event marks an epoch in the
history of Belmont. 1t means the re
~juvenation of the old camp, the begin
ming of operations that will again bring
the once famous producer before the
public.

YERINGTON IS RAPIDLY
OPENING UP NEW MINE

cocite resource and parallel to it, has
of interest to state that these two new
ore bodies of the Mason Valley and
Nevada Douglas extend the width of
the district, for both spread out to-
wards the fats of Mason valley on the
east side, and Smith valley on the west
side, of the range.
Across Mason valley to the east is the
Yerington Copper property which, on
the 40O-foot level, is showing a splendid
body of rich sulphides of copper. An
other piece of work that is bound to
bring speedy results is the drilling now
being done by the Bluestone company.
This method of development should
bring results before the SHOWS fly.
There are no greater surface show
ings anywhere in the world than in the
Yerington district, and where develop
ment has been centered is a space in
significant compared with the virgin
ground awaiting exploration. There is
only one conclusion. therefore, and that
is Yerington is bound to be one of the
greatestf if not the greatest, copper
camps in the country. 1t is developing
now into not only a deep camp, but a
rich mi and one Of extremely wide di-

ORC L STRIKE

The upraise through the rich ore
shoot at Hart & Hit s Ore Belle No.
is daily proving that the extent and
value of the ore body is far greater
than first supposed. What was thought
to be only medium grade milling rock
lying next to two feet of very rich ore
proves by numerous fire tests to aver
age $54 a ton, while another grade,
about three feet wide, runs sos to the
ton. Samples taken from the richer
streaks in the upraise assay from 1921
to $3.50 a ton.-Hart Enterprise.

Hill was $9,264. OF this Ophir pro-
duced 800 tons valued at $500, Con.
