Discussion
The Bullfrog mine, on the Anthony Dempsey farm two miles west of Galena, is about 200 yards south of the Merry Widow mine. A shallow shaft was sunk by the operators of the Merry Widow mine about 1916 and was later deepened to about 37 feet by Gill Brothers. It has been reopened and in about 1945 was operated on a small scale by the Eversoll Brothers. Ore is mined at a depth of 22 feet from a crevice trending N. 85 E. The ore is a top-run deposit, low in iron, and is above the top of the cherty beds in the Galena formation (WILLIAMS, H B, REYNOLDS, R R & HERBERT, JR, PAUL, 1946).
