SOSIE GOLD IN SIGHT. Wonderful Exhibit Claimed for the Shoshone Group of Mines. Estimates by different parties of the oro In sight In the great Montgomery-. Montgomery-. Shoshone roinc have created something of a sensation. Some laugh and some look wlso, but .the figures are Interesting, says the I3eatty edition of the Bullfrog Miner. There are a few other marvels besides be-sides the Shoshrino In tho Bullfrog district Superintendent Bob Smith of the Bullfrog Mining company of Nevada Is authority for the statement that the main ore body on this wonder on Ladd mountain has now been prospected for 3000 feet In length, 150 feet In width and 10 fce In depth, all allowing, as far as they have gone, about the same values, averaging 510 per ton. Kstlmntlng fifteen cubic feet to the ton and supposing that the ore body holds out In extent nnd values as It now appears wherever development de-velopment work has been done, they will have 177.500,000 cubic feet, or -1,500,000 tons of 10 ore without going any further. Placing a high estimate on milling cost at $13 per ton, there is- left, acdordlng to theso llgures. a tidy little sum of $il!-000.000 $il!-000.000 In sight. Pretty good for a summer's sum-mer's outing In a year-old mining camp. Is It a dream?
