James A. Yerington is still absent
in the east arranging his new com
pany OF capitalists at Buffalo, New
York, for working Nevada mines.
and is expected back home shortly.
He interested some of the gentlemen
concerned while acting as commits
sioner for Nevada at the Pan Amer
lean Exposition held at Buffalo last
year, and he has now completed and
perfected the organization. The
group of mines they propose to oper-
ate is situated in Hawthorne district.
Esmeralda county. Mr.. Yerington
has been personally and actively in
terested In these properties for some
years past They consist of the Pam
Iico, East Pamlico, Belleview, La
panta Nos. l and 2, Baltimore, Col
den Gate, Alabama and Golden Bullet
The Dexter and Gold Bar whistles
and several valuable water rights in
Cottonwood canyon are included.
Some of the properties mentioned
have paid under adverse circum-
stances in times past, and now with
requisite capital and modern methods
there is every reason to believe that
they can be successfully operated and
placed upon a dividend paying basis.
The Thunder Mountain boom still
increases in size. A contract has at
last been been let for carrying the
mail over the deep SHOWS and ragged
mountain gorges into that wonder
fully rich district, and the contractor
will be put upon his mettle TO perform
the task, running from Idaho City or
some other settlement within one hun
dred miles. Meanwhile parties work
ing their way out from the mines
bring plenty of gold TO further excite
the thousands struggling their way
IN.
Senator Livingston is trying to
arrange for u finish fight to take
place at Carson between Joe Walcott
and George Gardner. 1t is SEIZED
uled for some time in July for purse
of 50, 900. The agents of the fighters
have signitied their willingness and
negotiations are about complete for
the fight to take place. Livingston
was interested with Dan Stuart in
the Corbett- titzsimmons fight, aud
Carson is likely to again experience
boom from the great influx of visitors
to the tistic arena.
Renos boom is culmina ting dis
agreeably. The papers persistenty
hlAInAI An oil At
projects and schemes of public ad-
vancement for all they were worth,
encouraging grand rush from all
quarters, even from the far East
The result is that the town has be-
come flooded with a terrible crowd of
the unemployed, and the papers have
to turn ABOUT and tell people to keep
away Us there is no work or room for
them. Then, too, there ensues
general raise in rents, causing a
grand howl from renters, especially
the business men, who swear that
there is no individual increase in bus
mess justifying the raise, and they
cannot afford to pay it. But building
and booming must naturally come to
an end some time.
Carsons mining boom, stimulated
by more recent discoveries and per
haps excited by news OF rich strikes
about Tonopah, is still on, and our
prospectOrs are securing the hills
more assiduously than ever aud are
bringing in more rich or suspicious
looking rock, adding to the general
desire to get rich in mines. The
False Alarm, four miles north OF
Carson, is showing a fine four-foot
ledge of chloride ore that assays
richly, and they are getting out
good run for the smelter, which will
commence operations shortly
Near Alkali lake, some forty miles
south, Gilbert Briggs, A. c. Pratt
and George Hunslnger have been
working for several months, develop
ing IA fine twelve-foot ledge of galena
ore carrying high values IN gold and
silver They have Incorporated
company and propose the erection OF
u MILL having Il great abundance OF
ore on the dump or opened up in the
mine. They have good water power
close at hand and will use stamps and
concentrators, they having already
made sufficient tests of the ore to
assure them of perfect success.
A great deal of attention has been
attracted to Tonopah by the rich
strikes at that camp and the great
gold discovery at Lone Mountain
1t seems that Tonopah will never
cease sending in news of rich strikes,

townspeople should attend to the re-
