NAMES OF TOWNS ON STAMPS.
Each of 5000 Presidential POST
Offices to Have Own supply.

offices to Have Own supply.
Postage stamps of the issue of 1907
put on sale at the 5000 presidential
postoffices will bear on their face the
name of the State and city in which the
postofice is situated. The chief reason
for this innovation is said at the Post
Office Department to be the belief that it
will help to do away with the big post
Office robberies and make it much easier
to trace criminals.
The postoffice robbery in Chicago few
years ago is a good example of the ease
with which stolen postage stamps can be
disposed of. for no trace of the perpetra
tors was ever discovered. although near
fy a hundred thousand dollars worth of
stamps were stolen. and these mostly of
small denominations.
Another reason for the change is to
enable the Postoffice Department to de-
termine the amount of business done by
the different postofices and prevent pad
ding through stamps sold at some offices
to residents who do business in adjoining
cities.

ern section of the State. The
Ludwig and other iron and cop
per properties in the district
which would be tapped by the
branch road, which would not be
over IL or IS miles in length,
would furnish great fuxing ores
for the plant, and the silicious
ores of the southern camps could
be hauled to this plant at a very
low rate in connection with the
copper and iron ores of this dis
trict.
The point mentioned for the
erection of the plant is an admir-
able one. Plenty of water can
be obtained from the Carson Riv-
er by ditching or piping a few
miles, and the section is one
where there are practically no ag-
ricultural interests that would be
injured by smelter smoke, fumes
or dust, SO there would be no
chance for injunction suits by
farmers.
Just at present we cannot say
exactly what the interests are
that are working on this project,
but they are working, and from
all indications they are supplied
with all the necessary means to
carry out their plans if they con-
clude to adopt them.
Should such plant be erected
it would be a great thing for this
section of the country and Lyon
county generally. 1t would give
all owners of mining properties in
this section a chance to get their
ores to a smelter in a short dis
tance, reducing transportation
charges to great extent and
more than likely reducing work
ing charges to the minimum, as a
combination of the silicious ores of
the southern camps and the cop
per and iron ores of this section
would make an ideal mixture for
smelling.
And Churchill, Lyon county,
may yet be booming little smell

other than in an informal way for
prospecting purposes, formed the
company for the purpose of con-
venience in assessing its members
to carry on the development of
the property.
Tremendous bodies of copper
ore, the grade of which, consider
ing the size of the deposits, has
proven of the sensational order,
have since been opened up and
the district, during the last few
months and weeks has been over
run with experts and representa-
tives of capital from all over the
country, and all of them anxious
to get chance at the fine groups
of claims held by the Salt Lakers.
The move now on foot is the re-
suit of sparring that is understood
to have been going on for some
time, and closing of the deal is
scheduled for the next few weeks
at the outside"
In connection with the above it
may be said that work on the
Dyer group of mines, held by this
company, is progressing very fa-
vorably. On the lower tunnel
now being run some rapid work
has been done, and the face is now
in 200 feet, at which point vein
of porphyritic quartz has been cut
running heavy in iron sulphides.
On the surface, 90 feet above, this
vein shows an oxidized formation.
The company also began work
on the Spragg group this week,
and will run a 6oo-foot tunnel,
which will cut the ore vein at a
depth of about 275 feet. This
group is one of the most promis-
ing in this district, and the COM
pany has great expectations of de-
veloping very valuable property
on this ground.

1t is possible-in fact it is more
than likely-that at no distant
day the little cutoff station OF
Churchill, where the new line ol
the Southern Pacific railroad
reaches the old c. & c. road, and
which is now called the Nevada &
California road, will become a
town of considerable importance.
In way we have gained some
information which leads us to be-
lieve that Churchill is to be made
point for smelling plant of
considerable dimensions. Just
who is behind the proposition has
not been definitely learned. but
there is something doing all along
the line that points to active op-
erations on this proposition in the
very near future.
1t is even reported that the
Towle Bros. have given certain
parties an option on their ranch
on the Carson River, close to
Churchill, and that water privi-
leges are being sought to convey
water from the Carson to a point
near Churchill where smelter
will be erected to handle very
large tonnage of ore daily.
The plan, as near as we can as
certain, is for the construction of
smelter at point short dis
tance this side of Churchill, or
east of that station, and a railroad
from the smelter plant, which
would be on the main line of the
Nev.-Cal. road, to the Ludwig
mine, and on up to the other min
ing prospects on the other side of
the range of hills that lie west of
Yerington and Mason Valley, for
the purpose of conveying the ores
of that section to the smelter.
Those who have this project in
view are owners of the Ludw wig
property and are also interested
in mining properties in the south
