Nevada-Johnnie Company Buy Claims
on Vein Extensions.

TONOPAH, Aug. 27.-The Ne
vada-Johnnie has bought of T. A.
Johnson, for approximately $4,000,
controlling interest in the Bullfrog
group of mines at Johnnie, Nevada,
comprising five claims adjoining the
Crown Point Globe and the Johnnie,
and containing a part of both veins.
For several months Mr.. Johnson has
been quietly absorbing this stock, I'M
til, having secured practically all the
shares, he disposed of them to the
Nevada-Johnnie, in which he is a
stakeholder.
The stock has been widely dis
tributed; the holders could not get
together, and little development has
been done. Engineers of the Nevada
Johnnie took a large number of
samples that ran from 50 to sos
per ton, the showing being SO favor
able that control was Immediately ac-
quired. The group, it is said, Will be
thoroughly exploited, the ore bodies
opened and a small stamp mill erect
ed this fall to treat twenty-five tons
daily.

and this Is the largest chunk that
could be saved intact. In the Cuprite
collection is also a chunk of highly
silicified dacite, weighing about 100
pounds, and carrying about $40 in
gold per ton. The FORMATION is very
similar to the Mohawk ore of Gold
field, but does not at present carry
the values that are expected with
greater development.
A fine exhibit of argentiferous gall
ena and culprite has been sem in
from Ida, by w. c. Ross of the
Gouldine Mining company and by the
Indian Springs Copper company.
Additions have been made to the
Lucky Boy exhibit, and more are
coming from Mccormack, B~radigan,
Spencer, McAfee and Collins leases,
and from Lapham Meadows and the
Nevada Consolidated Mines and Sell
ing company. The latter will be a

interesting sidelight for the copper
district.
Seven Troughs district has come
in with a splendid exhibit, one OF the
features of which is a chunk of ore
weighing about $50 pounds and
splattered with massive punches of
free gold. This piece was sent, by
Charles Myers from the Gald Crown
claim, and its only covering was a
few twists of bailing wire around it
to facilitate its handling. The free
gold sticks out all over the big
chunk, and would be a most tempt
ing find for a high grader 1t ar
rived safely, however. and undamag-
ed. A fine exhibit of ruby silver ore
from the Florence lease and high
grade specimens from other prop
critics are included In the Seven
Troughs exhibit.
Considerable additions have been
made to the exhibit sent in about ten
days ago by the Cuprite Sulphur Min
ing company. One chunk of almost
pure sulphur is about four feet long
and two feet in diameter, and weighs
400 pounds. This is a portion of an
block that weighed nearly
four tons when it was mined, but it
was SO brittle that in attempting to
