Circa 1910 - Large Bullfrog Mining District Map - Ephemera 1147

Item Specifics

Year of Issue

1910

Item Description

Approximately 17" x 22"

This large map locating the mines within the Bullfrog gold mining district was provided to potential investors with "Compliments of the Forward Mining Development Company through the Patrick Investment Company of Denver, Colorado.

Mining had been on a steady decline in Nevada as the Comstock Load, which had been discovered in the 1850, steadily and relentlessly played out. All that changed in 1900 when silver was discovered at Tonopah and massive high-grade gold deposits were found at Goldfield two years later. The state's luck continued when high-grade surface gold was found in what was to become the Bullfrog district. The boom was on, and it lasted until around 1909 when the gold was pretty much depleted.

In nice shape. E1147
