Bullfrog Apex Mining and Milling Company
– Incorporated on August 4, 1905, by a by a group of promoters headed by J.J. Fagan and E.L. Andrews, the company promoted itself as the owner of 15 claims, only one of which was ever worked — the North Bullfrog. But, there was a problem with the North Bullfrog claim as it intruded into the boundaries of the Delaware claim of the West Extension Company. Though the Apex Company knew about these conflicting boundaries when the North Bullfrog claim was filed,  they forged ahead anyway. Work on the Apex ground started in the fall of 1905.
In a race for other nearby companies, the Apex encountered encouraging ore values and stock sales were adequate. Confident in their claims, the promoters were confident enough that they decided to apply for a patent, which resulted in the West Extension Company to file a lawsuit against Apex. Though the dispute was tied up the courts, both companies continued to develop shafts and tunnels. But, when the Apex Company uncovered a vein of gold assaying 1 to the ton, the question was settled, and the legal battle intensified. With all the news of the legal battles, Apex suffered in the stock market and by May 1906, its stock had fallen completely off the trading board. In the end, the Apex company lost their contest on the disputed ground and soon went out of business.
