NOTES FROM ALONG THE LINE OF
THE ct. R. r. SURVEY.

Mr.. e. NJ. Yerington, in company will
several other gentlemen connected with the
V. & T. r. R. Co., returned yesterday from
their trip south, examining the route laid ou
| by Chief Engineer Anderson. Mr.. Yeringtor
speaks very favorably Of the route and feels
confident that the extension of the V. & T.
r. R. project will be consummated. The
Chief Engineer of the road is now engaged in
making drawings of the survey and estimates
of the costs of building the road. If the
figures sum up satisfactorily, the scheme may
be undertaken at once. However Mr. Yer
ington does not speak positively upon this
subject. He expresses much faith IN the
unbounded wealth in and permanance Of the
mining interests of Esmeralda and Mono
counties; and says that these interests would
Justify the extension of the road. Mr. Yer
ington further asserts that the building of
the " & T. R. R. south will rebound
greatly to the benefit of Carson, as most all
the freight which now goes to Wadsworth for
reshipment to Esmeralda and Mono counties
will come to this city. In fact there are
many other reasons why the building of the
road would be advantageous to this point On
his trip Mr. Yerington also visited Bodie, and
expresses himself in very enthusiastic terms
regarding the wealth of that camp. The
Standard mine has $4,000, 900 gold in sight
The ore of this mine is crushed by two mills;
one belonging to the company which works
800 tons the other is the property of the
Syndicate Mining Company, which brushes
l 900 tons per month. The Syndicate mine
has also struck good ore, and its prospects
are of very excellent nature. The whole
Bodie Bluff, in point of fact, is full of gold;
it is perfectly wonderful. At Aurora Mr.. Yer
ington and friends are also largely interested.
They own some of the mines which figured
very prominently in the market some twelve
Or fourteen years ago, among the number is
the Real Del Monte. These mines were
never systematically worked But u new era
will dawn upon that camp which has been in a
state of somnolency for many years. Mr..
Yerington, with his proverbial energy,
will soon infuse new existence into the
irowsy camp of Aurora The mines
contain untold wealth,
and under the new regime the hidden
treasures will be brought to light. Our in
:ormant brings in the most satisfactory and |
reports from Benton, Marietta,
Jerro Gordo, Aida Valley and from all other
mining camps in the South. Mr.. Yerington
adds that the prosperity Of the new camps is
lot for day Or year, but there is perma-
1ency attached to them. The whole south
o-day is looking better than any other point
n the State. These facts certainly contribute
much to encourage the v and T. R. R. peo-
de to extend their road. The foregoing
statement is the most authentic and reliable
hat we have yet received respecting the i'm
Mediate future Of the southern country. AS
very one knows, Mr. Yerington is gentle
nan of keen discernment, prudence and cool
BUSINESS tact, and his statement will give
firth to a degree of confidence among the
eQple at large in the mining interests of
Iono and Esmeralda counties hitherto I'M
nown.
