'I went over Montgomery mountain, and made a careful examination of It. I found it to consist of a series of parallel par-allel porphyry and rhyollte dykes, making mak-ing numerous contacts.

"On the Peery-Montgomery two tun-, tun-, nels are being driven, anupper and a . lower. These are rapidly- approaching the contact, and I firmly believe that when the contact is reached, ore will be found, as the same conditions exist on tbls property as exist on the Montgomery-Shoshone. Also, ore has Just been broken into on the Montgomery-Polaris, about COO feet from the tunnels on the Peery-Montgomery -Mountain Mining Min-ing company's property. . - v Corroborated by rassett. ; "I visited Ladd mountain, , on whlch are situated v- the ' Bullfrog .
