the ground is in the right eondi-
ton, as it is now. We can raise
anything out there. Wheat has
been in the Lead, but now We are
going over to corn pretty fast,
and a large acreage will be put in
this spring. Wheat came through
the winter in fine shape. 1t was
small but the stand is good, and
now it begins to look green all
over the country. Farmers have
been selling off their wheat all
along at a very high price. A
dollar and a little better BUSH
ell is very tempting. When it got
to that price, farmers began to

is surprising the amount of old
wheat there was lying around
over that country. Still a good
deal is left in the granaries. We

GOLDEN SCEPTRE RECEIVES
QUARTzITE FRACTION PATENT

The United States patent for the
Quartzite Fraction of the Bullfrog Gold
en- Sceptre company was issued this
week. This completes the patents for
the entire holdings of the Sceptre COM
pany, comprising nearly 200 acres. This
property is situated on Bonanza Noun
tain, overlooking the town of Rhyolite,
a portion of which is laid out on the
company's ground. The property is
Joined on the south and west by the
Gibralter and Tramps estates.
The Golden Sceptre was developed un-
der the direction of Niven and Price,
who developed the famous Engineers
lease on the Florence mine at Goldfeld,
and consisted of a deep shaft and a
number of long crosscuts and tunnels.
The equipment comprises a complete
hosting plant, as well as a compressor
plant for operating power drills.
New interest is being shown in the
big Bonanza Mountain properties, a
reorganization Of the Tramps being in
progress, and it is reported that some
arrangement will be made whereby the
Sceptre will be in a position to resume
operations.

pany's holdings, which include among
its "a acres the Sunrise Pioneer lease,
operated by j. X. Bryan, who opened
the big Pioneer mine and the promising
lease now being worked by Topping and
Goldsworthy, successful operators in
Goldfeld, Cripple Creek and other
camps.
Considerable work in the develop
ment line has also been done on com
pany account, and thus far indications
are most promising for opening a splen-
did property. The Sunrise Pioneer
lease is operating a block of ground
400 by 500 feet on the Sunrise No. 2.
Mr.. Bryan has under him eight men
who have sunk a shaft 80 feet in depth.
A whip is now in use and in a snort
time hosting machinery of the most
improved type will be installed. The
shaft is now in a clay mari, which
bears a strong resemblance to the rich
est stuff that has been uncovered in the
famous Combination. This leasing com
pany, which is backed largely by Hi
nois capital, is well financed, it's treas
ury having resources enough now to in
sure operations for many months.
On the Topping and Goldsworthy
lease of the Mayfower North Exten-
sion, a shaft is being sunk to reach the
intersection of a north and south and
east and west vein. Values have been
found practically all the way down the
45-foot shaft. The treasury Of this

that operations with improved methods
will be assured for a long time to

Manganese BullfrOg|
Gold Mining Co.

The Manganese Bullfrog Mining con
pany owns four claims to the east of
Quartzite mountain, and along the line
of a ledge system which extends west
crly from Quartzite mountain for a dis
lance of some two miles. One of the
claims of the company is near the
home of Z. 8. Giles, known as Giles
camp, one mile from the center of the
townsite of Pioneer. This is known as
the Golden Eagle claim. The Queen
Diana and the May c. claims lie to-
gether on the eastern slope of Quartzite
mountain. and the fourth claim, Bould-
err No. i claim, is located HOO feet due
south of the Pioneer lease, and forms
part of the ground upon which the Skel-
ton West addition to the Pioneer town
site is located.
The Boulder claim is one of the first
claims located in the Pioneer section OF
the Bullfrog mining district. Its sur
face in the main is composed of a deep
deposit of rhyolite clay anc detritus
from the sides of Pioneer mountain, and
all of this clay will show traces of gold
by assay tests, and some of it shows
colors in the pan. A great quartzite
ledge, evidently a continuation of the
footwall of the great ore body which
is held under Pioneer mountain, cuts
through the claim. Two sets of leasers
are working on the property, and at 20
to 80 feet in depth have paintings OF
free gold, and assays which show that
the values are increasing. One of the
shafts is in a tale formation which con-
tains particles of quartz, AID is very
in appearance to the rich tale
which is being found in the Pioneer
lease. In fact, as the rich vein in the
Pioneer lease is a cross fissure between
the lateral north and south veins, some
the experts at Pioneer claim that

to 100000 per month, and with great
ore reserves at hand it promises to be-
come one of the biggest producers in the
southern and of the state. The forma-
tions here consist of schists, which are
cut by diorite dykes, the ore bodies be-
ing at the contact of schist and diorite.
A Gaping of altered lime lies over
part of the estate. The ore bodies oc-
cur in the form of lenses from 10 to 30
feet thick, and 100 to 800 feet in length.
Much of the ore is quarried rather than
mined, a tramway a mile in length tax

dition to other work, there has been
sunk a 40-foot shaft on the Sunrise No.
/ claim. This is only $50 feet from the
Pioneer bonanza estate and the North
Extension management is confident that
the contact showing good values already
discovered is the beginning of what will
make a great mine with development.
The greater part of the Mayhower
North Extension ground was located by
William j. Tobin, one of "the men be
hindv the Pioneer bonanza, who stuck
by that now famous mine when it was
such a dismal looking prospect that his
faith in it was the cause of many a
joke by "wise" ones. Mr.. Tobin Is
still at the head of the Mayfower North
Extension management, and is full OF
faith for the company future.
Running the length of the upper side
of this property is a huge vein Of siiiei'

is an immense quartzite dyke, and nam

The Montgomery shoshone.
1t has long been known that the
Montgomery S~hoshone, which is just
outside the limits of the town of Rhyo-
lite, is one of the biggest mines of the
state. 1t has a fully equipped milling
plant, using; concentration, ~amalgama-
ton and cyanide processes, and is hand
ling 100000 tons Of $40 to SIS ore per
month at a mining and milling cost of
close to S. per ton.
The property has developed and
blocked out rich ore bodies to a depth
of 700 feet. Ore which is taken out in
development is milled, but the principal
mill run comes from the "glory-hole,' -
which is an open cut 200 feet long, so
feet in width and 100 feet deep, where
a couple of men with drills break down
enough rock from the side of the hole
to keep the mill running when neces-
sary. The rock as broken down in this
hole runs better than So per ton. The
'sglory -hole' is one of the wonders of
Nevada, and the same formation and
size of ore body has been shown 800
feet below the bottom Of the present
workings of the "hole." The ore is a
