hand with shotgun some weeks
ago, in Smith Valley, expects to go
to San Francisco again next week to
have the injured member operated
upon. His father, John A. Rogers,
will accompany him. Frank is hav
ing a serious time and it may be
necessary to amputate the hand en-
tirely, but his friends hope not.

The Canyon Light and Power
Company is the name of the COM
pany organized for the purpose of
putting in an electric plant some
miles up the Walker River from
this place. The company has in
corporated with a capital stock of
$780, 900, and articles of incorporation
have been filed with the Secretary
of State. The principal place of
business is Yerington. This is the
company spoken of some weeks ago
in the TIxEs. Just how soon the
company will get to work on it's
plant we are unable to state.
Pat Gallagher's gold discovery
continues to increase in size as depth
is attained. The ledge is getting
wider every day and the value of
the ore remains the same-trom $3.50
to $500 per ton. Mr.. Gallagher and
Joe Seaman are working the claim,
and are sacking the ore that is being
taken out. Probably some of it will
soon be worked at the Spragg mill
at this place. Some of the other
prospects near this claim show some
splendid Mornings, and the assays
are up in the hundreds. If this kind
of thing continues we will have
another Tonopah here in Mason
Valley.
