A number of these Bullfrog companies bought property in the district without ever planning to sink a pick in the ground. Never doing any more than locating a claim, they incorporate a company and sold stock to gullible investors. Some of these included the Bullfrog Winner Mining Company, the Bullfrog Western Mining Company, the United Bullfrog Mining Company, the Bullfrog Plutos Mining and Milling Company, the Bullfrog Gold Note Mining Company, and the Bullfrog Jumper Company, and dozens of others [Ref: http://www.legendsofamerica.com/nv-bullfrogdistrict4.html].
