Desert transportation, in its natural sequence, runs somewhat to this order: burro, freighting team, and railroad. The man who is wise enough to go into the freighting and transfer business in the days before the railroad comes is likely to build a foundation for his prospective fortunes, as Leonard B. McGarry can tell you from experience. In the spring of 1902 he went to Tonopah and established a transfer and freighting business between that place and Sodaville. The son of a Eureka Pioneer, he had the mining fever fairly well developed from the start, and his digressions from this occupation were means to an end. When Goldfield arrived on the map, Len McGarry went there and opened the first lumber yard in the camp, and acquired mining interests. In August, 1904, he came to Bullfrog and went into the general merchandise business. His store building was a tent, for this was before the town of Rhyolite was in the section. He promoted Bullfrog Teddy, adjoining the West Extension, and one hundred and fifty thousand shares were offered at five cents a share, from which the property was developed in a manner to justify the original locators in advancing the funds necessary to carry on the work to its present state. Mr. McGarry has interests in the townsite of Lee and is connected with the Burro Fraction Mining Company and the Hayseed Extension Mining Company. In addition he has locations in Ubehebe.
