A. l.. N, Springfield, Mass. -
There is again a considerable amount
of activity in the Bullfrog district
and some excellent prospects have
been opened in recent development
work. The Pioner section is now at
tracing attntion, owing to the re-
newal of operations on a broad scale
On the Mayflower mine, which was
regarded in the boom days as one
of the best mines in southern Ne
vada, and to the prospect of an
early resumption of work on the
Pioneer Consolidated property. A
large amount of development work is
being conducted on the property of
the Sunset Mining & Development
company, which include the old
Tramp Consolidated, Sunset and
Denver Bullfrog properties. The col
lapse of the Bullfrog boom did not
result from exhaustion of ore in the
mines, but was caused by the finan-
cial panic of 1907, at a time when
relatively little development work
had been done in the entire district
and non of the mines had been
opened at any great depth. The best
results are now being obtained on
the deepest levels and the opinion
prevails generally that with further
development work a number of
good mines may be opened in the
district.

ELY VALLEY IS
MINING CENTER
MANY PROPERTIES ARE BEING
WORKED IN A COMPRE-
HENSIVE MANNER

A lively section of this district now
is in the vicinity of the Ely Valley
mine, which property is being ener-
g~etically developed under a bond and
lease to the Springfield Mining COM
pany of Nevada.
Because of the number of years
of inactivity, the shaft was in bad
condition at the time the present
management took up the exploita-
ton of the ground several months
ago. New timbers have been put
down to the 4OO-foot level, and Man
ager Reel is at present working a
good force of men in connecting up
and exploring some Of the ore expos
ures at the 130-foot level and above
and he reports very encouraging re-
suits.
One car of ore has been taken out
and is in the bins ready for ship
ment, containing good gold-silver
values. Other shipments are expect
ed to follow with considerable regu-
larity.
Repairing of the shaft down to the
450-foot level will be undertaken
500 so that the copper vein, oper-
ated by a former management. may
be undertaken again. This vein
shows some very good copper values
and gives promise of opening up into
something big.
Mr.. Reel and his associates express
great satisfaction over the progress
which has been made with the de-
velopment of the property in recen
months and are confident that the
mine will, in a little time, become a
steady producer. The company has
recently completed the erection of a
dwelling house, which is occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Webb. There are
many other buildings at the mine
and employees are comfortably cared
for.
Neighbor to the Ely Valley, is the
Tulloch property, where Will Tul-
loch and his father are prosecuting
an energetic development campaign.
The new shaft is down 175 feet.
Mr.. Tulloch is we'll satisfied with
what has been accomplished SO far
and believes hat it is a matter of
only a short while until their pro-
perty will also be in the producing
class.
At the Phoebe Mines property, To-
town, but on the same mineralized
belt as the Ely Valley and Tulloch
mines Manager II. M. L%ansdowne
has completed the erection of a new
bunk house; also a new engine
house. A new gallows frame is al
SO being put up and in a short
while everything will be whipped
into shape for a right lively devel-
opment campaign.
The hosting engine used at
Meadow Valley No. 8 mine during
the Yuba Leasing administration
has been purchased and vas moved
out to the Phoebe Mines last week
where it is being installed.
The revival of activity along the
eastern base of the Ely range is GER
tainly creating a great deal of local
interest and the bringing in of a
trio of new producers out in that
section would be sure to stimulate
mining everywhere in this camp

CRACKER JACK TO DRIVE
RAISE TO EXPLORE VEIN

Near the face of the long east
cross-cut on the 320-foot level a
raise will be driven in the Cracker
Jack property to explore the Rabbit
Trail rein, for which the cross-cut
has been extended to this point,
ever 100 feet from the main shaft
The vein appears to have assumed a
flatter dip than was indicated near
the surface and the cross-cut will be
stopped for the present while a
raise is being put up to locate the
vein. Drifts extended On the main
Columbia Mountain fault vein have
exposed quantities of low and me-
dunn grade ore.

REVISE PLANS FOR
TRAINING WAR ARMY
SIXTEEN cANToNMENTs INSTEAD
OF THIRTY.rWo WILL BE
LOCATED.
PLACE MANY UNDER CANVASS
Shortage Of Funds, Material, Labor
and transportation Facilities Caus.
Cd the Number Of cantonments to
BE Reduced.

Washington.-lmportant revisions In
the plan for training the war Army
have been made by the War Depart.
ment. which announced that the half
million men to be called to the colors
In September will be concentrated In
sixteen cantOnments instead of thirty.
two. and that many Of the forces prob.
ably will be put into tents instead Of
wooden barracks.
Lack Of funds, material, labor and
transportation facilities, Secretary Ba.
ker said, caused the decision to reduce
tho number Of cantonments The lar.
ger number seemed practicable, but
that would have made . much greater
demand on tha overtaxed resources
ct tho Departments command.
Although, the change will upset all
tho tentative plans for camp locations
made by department commanders, It
is not expected to delay beyond Sop.
tember the mobilization Of the great
draft Army. Four Of the sixteen can.
comment sites provided for under the
new plan already have been selected
and choice Of the others is expected
soon. Secretary Baker indicated thst
building would proceed as rapidly AZ
possible. The four sites selected are
at American Lake, Wash; Atlanta
Ca: Ayre, Mass, and Wrightstown,
New Jersey.
A more plentiful supply or canvas
than expected made 1t possible to put
some Of the troops under tents. Most
of the tents used probably will be
placed at Southern camps.
In making the announcement, Sec
retary Baker said also that forces in
excess Of those which could be cared
for In the sixteen cantonments would
be placed under canvas. This was
taken as referring to National Guard
divisions, although the Militia Bureau
has received no instructions in this
regard.
There Is no indication Of an inten
tion to alter the plan for formation Of
sixteen divisions Of the guard. The
questions Of filling these up to wal
strength probably will not be settled
until selection Of men for military
service in the draft Army begins
Under the law. either the Regulars OF
0uasd can be filled up with men from
the selected lists II that Is desired.
