effect appear to insure for the Con-
solidated Mayflower mine a fore
most place among the producing
mines of Nevada.
Pioneer Consolidated Mines
Negotiations have been in prog
ress which now insure an early re-
sumption of operations on a sub
stantial scale on the property of the
Pioneer Consolidated Mines COM
pany, situated about n : half
mile northwest of the Mayflower
workings. The Pioneer mine has
produced a large tonnage of both
milling and shipping ore and was
at one time the largest producer
of bonanza ore in the southern
region, shipping upwards of $780,
600 worth of rich ore from its fa-
mous Bonanza stope alone.
With the removal of the electric
power line that supplied the Bull
frog region, the Pioneer company
was compelled to suspend milling
operations, but development work
on various levels containued to
place in sight large deposits Of ex-
cellent mill ore and the present
plans of the company contemplate
the opening of the mine at great
depth, the blocking out of ore in
the known ore-channels and the
ultimate resumption of milling
operations, On a basis insuring the
highest possible recovery of the
metals.
Sunset Mining & Development Co.
Large bodies of milling ore have
been exposed as a result of develop
ment work conducted by the sunset
Mining & Development company,
owning and operating properties in
the Bullfrog district which were
merged under the present owner
ship and include the Old Tramp
Consolidated, Denver Bullfrog and
Sunset groups. The company in
stalled a milling plant of large ca
pacity and demonstrated its ability
to treat the ore of the district at
an exceedingly low cost and with a
high recovery. A water supply sys-
tenn, insuring ar abundant flow for
all was also acquired by
the company.
In recent months this company's
work has been directed more parti-
cularly to opening the Denver
ground at depth, with the result
that large bodies of ore have been
found, all of a grade insuring a
large profit in milling and some Of
shipping grade. Discoveries on the
$50 and 500-foot levels of the Den
yer mine are regarded as having
established the great value OF the
property beyond question.
BullfrOg Diamond Mining Co.
Work is to be resumed at once
on the New Year mine, formerly
owned and operated by the Bullfrog
Diamond Mining company and which
at one time was the property of and
was worked by the late United
States Senator William M. Stewart
and Malcolm Mcdonald in partner
shin. These men, who were rated
among the most reliable mining au-
thorities in the country, placed a
high value on the property and re-
fused to part with control. believing
it to be one of the most valuable
in this region. The mine is situated
about a half mile southwest of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. GLORY hole"
which, produced nearly 100000
within a short time.
Other activities in the district are
scheduled for a beginning early in
the new year and in the belief OF
those best qualified to express an
opinion, the Bullfrog district is
destined during the coming twelve
month to take an important position
among the active and productive
mining centers of Nevada.
