BLUE BULL ORE
TO Be SHIPPED
HIGH-GRADE PRODUCT BEING
SACKED AT NEWER
WORKINGS

Ore that has been yielding as
says around $50 per ton in gold
is now being sacked for shipment
at the Blue Bull mine and from the
present appearance of the workings
it is believed that a carload of this
product will be ready for shipment
in the near future. The ore is a
soft oxidized quartz, similar in ap-
pearance to the high-grade material
that was mined on the adjoining
Simmerone property in the early
days of the camp, and under the
glass it shows many fine particles
of free gold.
This ore was opened in extend
ing the workings driven into this
territory by the Simmerone com
pany about two years ago, when the
latter company worked this ground
under lease. The best showing at
present is in an intermediate drift.
short distance above the 100-foot
level The leasing company exposed
some good ore near this point, but
suspended work owing to a shortage
of funds.
On the 250-foot level a drift
was also extended along the course
of this vein, to a point within less
than 100 feet of where the ore
shoot should be penetrated at this
depth. This drift will be continued
to pick up the ore as soon as its
rake and dip can be definitely de-
termined by some further work
near the 100-foot level, which will
include the sinking of a short
winze, following the ore-shoot This
vein has never been prospected at
depth and much interest attaches to
the projected development work on
tb .".s yer level. Present operations
are being conducted through tn
Simmerone company's shaft, to the
use of which the Blue Bull com
pany has secured permanent
right.

HIG PUMP TO BE IN PLACE
WITHIN FEW
DAYS

Within day or two the powerful
striking pump lately ordered will
be installed in the deep winze of the
Atlanta, at the 175O-foot level, and
sill king will then proceed at a great
ly accelerated rate of speed and
will be pushed as rapidly as possible
To reach the 1900-foot level, where

east to cut the main Atlanta vein
AT this point a raise will be driven
in the vein to prospect the ground
at the junction of the two veins
tance above the l900-foot level
Sinking has progressed lately,
but the increasing flow of water
has taxed the capacity of the tenn
pcrary pumping plant and repairs
to this pump caused some delay
during the past fortnight. The
west vein, dipping to the east at
rather flat angle, was penetrated
by the winze at point 80 feet
below the main 175O-foot level and
a new water channel was released
here. The winze has progressed in
vein matter, showing many seams

gold and copper
AS this vein failed to show any
indication either of enrichment or
o. a heavy flow of water, it is be-
lieved that both the ore and water
found in cutting the vein in the
winze have their origin in the main
vein, short distance to the east
The latter vein is of great magni-
tude and heavily mineraliZed

deep levels.
The best ore yet found in the
Atlanta property has been exposed
in workings on the 1750-foOt level
and in shallow wines sunk from
this level The company's engineers
and others who are qualified to ex-
press an opinion believe that the
work now being carried out below
the 1750-foot level will result i'll
opening orebodies of great value.
1t is the plan of the company to
continue the winze to the 2000-foot
level, where it is estimated that the
work will have passed through the,
shale and into the alaskite. 1t is
expected that the winze will pene-
trate the shale at depth of about
1900 feet.

COPPER MOUNTAIN
PROPERTY IS
SHIPPING
ED FROM LARGE DEPOSITS
OPENED

Copper ore of good grade is now
being shipped daily to the smelter
from the Copper Mountain proper
ty in Mineral county, now being OPP
Grated by the Jumbo Extension COM
pany of Goldfield. The product has
been averaging around nine per cent
copper and production is said to be
yielding a profit more than suff,-
cient to pay all operating expenses.
No effort has been made to attain a
heavy production, as the companys
efforts have been devoted to the
opening of the ore-bearing channels
on broad scale, operating from
three working shafts.
Lately the Jumbo Extension COM
pany purchased the No. 1 lease, op-
Grated by Miller and Lappat and
which has produced a substantial
tonnage of shipping ore. The work
ings of this lease are Icing extended
and the ore now being shipped is
coming from this teIriIor,r and from
the first level of the No. 2 shaft,
which has been sunk ly the com.
pany to depth of go feet.

IMPORTANT WORK Is NOW PRO
CROSSING ON DEEPER
LEVEL

Ore shipped from the Great Bend
property maintains excellent aver
age in value and the mine is in good
condition, with ore of shipping
grade in sight at several points.
Stopping has begun at a point about
80 feet east of the main stope at
the 160-foot level, where a raise
was put up for over so feet in ore
of uniformly high grade. and ap-
parently large part of the ma
terial between the two Slopes can
be shipped at profit
A raise from the 3O0-foot level,
following the ore-shoot on which
the big stope was opened, has con
nected with the 160-foot level and
for the greater part of it's length
this raise has continued in good
ore. Another raise is being driven
from the lower level, farther to the
east, but the drift on the 160-foot
level has not been advanced suffi-
ciently to make connection with
this raise, although this work will
be performed shortly
On the 30O-foot level the work
has reached stage commanding
no small degree of interest. The
east drift at this depth is now with

BUlLFROG HAS
MINE REVIVAL
SEVERAL PROPERTIES GIVE
PROMISE OF A SUBSTAN-
TIAL OUTPUT

The revival of mining activity in
the Bullfrog district and the sur
rounding region appears to have
only fairly begun, from reports of
plans that have been announced for
development work on several addi-
tional properties. Near Rhyolite
the Sunset Mining & Development
company has a large force of men
engaged in opening the mine on
lower levels in a most thorough
manner and the results of this
work have. been highly satisfactory
Ore of shipping grade has been ex-
posed on the 4O0-foot level in suffi-
cient quantity to insure, by mixing
it with the lower grade material, an
excellent average grade for the COM
pany's mill.
In the Pioneer district, north of
Bullfrog, active development work
is in progress in the property of
the Consolidated Mayflower Mines
company, which has been reorgan-
lied lately under the presidency
and direct management of w. j.
Tobin, head of the Pioneer Conso-
lidated company. Important dis
cCveries have been made in the May
flower mine as result of work
conducted recently under Manager
Tobin's direction and the mine is
being explored on various levels in
a comprehensive manner.
In recent months a considerable
amount of surface prospecting has
been done throughout the Bullfrog
district, and the results have been
So encouraging that many good au-
thorities have voiced the prediction
that the district will some day eX-
perience a sensational comeback.
The old Bullfrog Gold Bar company
which produced high-grade ore in
the early days of the camp, has
been reorganized under the control
OF ]. P. Lotus and associates and
plans have been perfected for the
operation of the property on a
broad scale.
Plans are now under discussion
that may lead to an early resump-
tion of operations on the Pioneer
Consolidated property, which was
forced to suspend most of its work
upon the cutting off of the electric
power service to the southern dis
tricts. The Pioneer mine has pro-
duced over s500;000 worth of ore
ard for several years it successfully
operated it's own milling plant,
Steps have been taken to reorganize
the old Original Bullfrog Mines Syn
dicate, bat the plan has been delay
ed owing to the difficulty experien-
ced in locating holders of the stock
in the old company.

HOW TO Be SURE or DEATH
Maryland Board Of Medical ExamIn-
ers Gives the Correct Answer
to Question.

What are the means used 10 prove
that death has positively occurredf
was a question put to postulants by
the state board OF medical examiners
Of Maryland at the June examinations.
The correct answer Is given as: "The
complete and permanent cessation OF
circulation and respiration, rigor NOR
It's, loss of bodily heat, pallor Of the
body. putrefaction."
Rigor mortis, the condition Of rigid
ity into which the muscles pass after
death, begins nt time varying from
about fifteen minutes TO about six
hours. 1t begins In the face and prog
rcsses downward, aud the muscles re-
lax in about the same order after -
hours.
In recent article In America, DR..
Austin o'Malley pointed out that It
was often impossible to tell at what
moment death occurred, and that
physicians we're so often in doubt
about this that 1t Is rule for priests

(condltionally, of course) even several
hours after apparent death, there be-
ing many cases ON record In which a
person believed TO be dead has re-
