The Bullfrog Pioneer shipped two
more ears from their broken reserve
this week. The two shipments aggre-
gate about eighty tons, with an es'i'
mated average value of 800 per ton,
saws the Bullfrog Miner. The W ship
ments for this week, $4,000, brings the
total we'll up with the prime producers
of the camp. No effort has been made
to break out ore since the middle Of the
month. The Bullfrog Pioneer cannot,
therefore, be rated in production oy the
sme,ter returns actually received.
Reports as late as last night show tho
2l.foot crosscut not yet into the lode
p~roper Indications in the breast lead
the management to believe mat tne
foot wall has just been entered. Inc
crosscut is now in about seventy feet,
or n little over. The rock has been
harder for the past week, and three
shifts a day are only able to make
about four feet. The original estimates
of those in charge placed the ore at a
little closer to the shaft. Substantial
values are coming in with every stroke
Of the pick. 1t is only a question OF a
few shifts until the work will be IN the
lode. and the stopping, which will yieid
As. 900 a cross-sectional foot, will com
mence.
Nine new leases have been let on
pioneer ground, adjoining the bi
Metallic claim, on which the sensational
simmer has been developed. These
leases v 2OO-foot by 300-foot blocks
and are of limited duration, thus insus
ing an energetic campaign OF develop
ment in every instance. An indennit'
number of applications for similar con
sideration is being regarded with favor
After the directors meeting on Mon
day, negotiations will be closed VIII
MANY applications, and the entire estate
will be subjected to an immediate over
bauling. Sub-leases will probably b.
given next week by the Bi-Metalli'
~leasers.
The Nevada-C California Power com
pany will assuredly extend its lines q
include the Pioneer and Mayhower' INT
Bi-Metallic leasers will install a hois
and compressor as soon as power i
available.
Shoshone Ships Bullion
The Montgomery Shoshone shippe'
1875 pounds of gold and 765 pounds o
silver on last Wednesday. These ar
the approximate shares, based on 4
and So per cent, respectively, OF eo'
pounds of bullion shipped. No offieia
valuation is given, but the total weigh
is there and the per cent is establishes
uniformly by past shipments.
This cleanup includes the saving
from all departments of the mill for
period somewhat less than a month
The last shipment was made on Tn
ninth day of January.
The concentrate treatment recently
installed has proven a big success. l
is treating about fifty tons per month
and makes a saving of SO per cent
Hopes are entertained of cutting dow
the remaining 2 per cent. wv new
cyanide tanks are being set up for tn
use of this department. No alterations
will be made.
There is now no product that leaves
the property excepting the bullion. Th'
new force just added to the crushing
department has run the tonnage up u
the efficiency limit of every department
The bulk of the Montgomery Sho
shone production still comes from tn
Glory Hole, and will continue to do 81
for a long time yet to come. A couple
of men with an air drill are cavlng II
from the surface enough ore to keel
the great natural bin full. Some 12,00'
tons of ore are broken in the slide. The
