BULL LWHACKER
CONSOLIDATED
New Mining Company Announces
Its Plans for Developing Prop
erty Recently Acquired

yet made in the Eureka district has
just been consummated with the or
ganization of the Bullwhacker Con-
solidated Mines Company. This COM
pany is controlled by many of the
same people who control the Eure-
ka-Holly, and the development of the
property included in the Bullwhacker
group will be under the direction of
the same men whose conservative
policies have made the Eureka-Holly
one Of the best known properties in
the State of Nevada.
The new company has been organ
lied with capital of 100000 shares
OF $1.00 par, all of which stock has
been placed in the treasury Of the
company; total holdings approximat-
ing Ill acres have been purchased by
the Bullwhacker Consolidated, the
ground being on the famous Adams
Hill, which in the old days was one
Of the most important sections In the
Eureka district.
The present owners have been en-
deavoring to acquire this ground for
the past year, and have bought out
right for cash from different owners
the following claims: Bullwhacker
and Silver West, patented; the Por-
phyry, Washington, Harris. Fraction,
Fraction No. 1. Jane, Blue Rock, and
Blue Rock No. /, the latter claims be-
ing unpatented.
This group of claims comprises
two mines which have been famous
producers, namely: The Bullwhack-
er and Silver West. These two prop
critics in the past have produced
about 100000 in shipping ore to a
little below the 800 level, and the
greater part of this production was
made at a time when the price of
both silver and lead was ranging at
very low figure, from 20 to 80
years ago.
Outside of the Ruby Hill mines,
the BuIlwhacker was one of the larg-
est producers of ore of a shipping
grade in the Eureka district. The
lower grade was never taken out of
this mine and it is estimated by en-
gineers of the new company that
there is still in sight in this property
in the neighborhood of $4,000 tons
of $25 ore.
This group of claims lies west and
south of the Eureka Holly holdings,
and of the Williamsburg. the latter
property being recently acquired un-
der lease and bond by the Eureka
Holly Company from the Richmond
Eureka Mining Company, who are
also the owners of the Ruby Hill
mines.
The same crushed limestone zone
in which have been found the ore
bodies in the Holly passes directly
through the property Of the Bull
whacker Consolidated, and these ore
bodies have been formed under the
same geological conditions, and are
merely the western extension of the
vein systems which have been devel-
oped in the Holly mine.
The Holly Company has demon
strated the important fact that the
surface ore bodies which were con-
sidered worked out years ago actual
ly continue to much greater depth,
and it is believed without question,
that the same situation will be found
in the Bullwhacker.
Near the surface. and in fact to the
800 level, the main ore body in the
Bullwhacker was from eight to fifteen
feet wide. all of which was shipped,
and this ore body in fact was the larg-
est deposit of purely shipping ore
found outside of Ruby Hill. The
average values of the ore which was
sent to the smelters ran from so to
SIS per cent lead, and from 60 to 70
ounces in silver.
An intensive campaign Of develop
ment will be started Immediately by
the Bullwhacker Consolidated Mines
Company. The old hoist of the Holly
Company will be moved over to the
Williamsburg shaft, while the big
Holly compressor will furnish air for
the machine drills which will be used
in the development of the Bullwhack-
er. Arrangements have been made
whereby the Bullwhacker Company
will use the Williamsburg shaft.
which is ideally located for deep de-
velopment of the Bullwhacker ore
bodies. This double compartment
