The Yerington lronsides
Company.

The Yerington Ironsides Copper Com
pany is the name of another company
which has just been organized by Salt
Lake people to operate in this district.
The officers of this company are as fol-
lows: A. Hannauer, Jr., President; w.
H. Tibballs, Vice-President; J. p Spauld-
ing, Treasurer; ]. H. Turner, Secretary;
R. ]. Evans, c. D. Rooklidge and Ralph
Bittinger, Directors, and Fred A. Flindt,
General Manager. The company is a
strong one, Mr.. Hannauer being of the
Salt Lake Valley smelters, Mr.. Spauld-
ing of the Mccormick bank, of Salt
Lake, and the others well-known men
of means and practical copper men. The
company is capitalized for 81, 900, 900
with the par value of the stock at 81.
The property secured by this company
lies about eight miles northwest of Yer
ington and about four miles north
of the Ludwig property; 1t was
secured by location and consists
iron dyke, which show copper values
running from to II per cent. and a
percentage of iron from 40 to 20. While
considerably north of the main proper
ties in this district, the Ironsides ground
is evidently continuation of the great
copper belt which traverses the range
west of this valley for many miles.
Before his return to Salt Lake this
week Capt Ben Tibbey, the well known
copper expert, visited this property and
speaks very highly of its prospects. His
report will soon be made, and the COM
pany expects to begin an active CAM
paign of development work at an early

The Yerington Copper King Mining
Co, composed chiefly of Salt Lake peo-
pie, with ]. H. Turner as Vice-President
and General Manager is about to let a
contract to widen out a tunnel on the
property to four feet. This tunnel is
running through the lime to cut through
to the porphyry contact, and is now in
$50 feet. 1t was run by the former own
ers of the property. The tunnel will
have to be extended, perhaps, 100 feet
to reach the contact. A contract is also
to be let to run main working tunnel.
This tunnel will be run distance of
about 400 feet, at which point it will be
under the surface blowout, where assays
run as high as AZ per cent. in the red
metal, The greater part of the ore will
average over 20 per cent. When the
tunnel is in 400 feet station will be cut
and an electric hoist installed and sink
ing begun on the ledge. The tunnel
will tap this vein at depth of about 400
feet.
In the upper, or narrow tunnel, run
by the former owners of the property, a
lS-foot vein of copper ore was cut which
runs over 20 per cent. in copper, and
carries 81 80 in gold. This ore is of a
peculiar character, and is what is termed
atacamite.

]. E. Caine, of Salt Lake, who was
here looking over his company's proper
ty, the Wheeler gold mine, and the Yer

upon his return to Salt Lake this week
tells the Salt Lake Tribune that Capt
Ben libby, we'll known throughout the
country as mining expert, has made an
examination of the Yerington Copper
Company's possessions, and he gave Mr..
Caine authority to state that the COM
pany had very fine property in this
group. In his opinion the company has
every chance of making big mine from
the Yerington copper group, and his
plan of development, mapped out for the
management, will be followed most re-
ligiously. This plan of work contem-

ture of what are called veins Nos. 2 and
8. At the point where they come togeth-
er it is forty feet from wall to wall on
the surface, and it is the spot along
which the management has encountered
fine showing of copper glance. Capt.
libby has demonstrated to the company
where the walls of vein No. are, and
its average width is between twenty and
forty feet, while it has been traced by
the company across their ground for the
distance of one mile along its strike.
Mr.. Caine says that Yerington is on
the verge of a boom, tells about the
strong companies that have organized to
develop property here, and says the dis
trict is going to prove bigger and richer
than anybody yet anticipates.

Mr.. A. Shelley, representing the To-

town this week looking into the situation
of buying and shipping milk from this
place to the southern camps. He made
one small shipment Wednesday, and is in
hopes of signing up contracts to supply
those camps regularly. Mr.. Shelley
would like to lease the Mason Valley
Creamery and guarantees to pay patrons
81 per 100 pounds for milk the year
round.- He also agrees to pay 81. 40 per
100 pounds for whole milk for shipping
purposes. He will remain here for some
days to see if he cannot make definite
arrangements, to supply milk to his COM
panies in the south.

EXPERTS SPEAK
HIGHLY
Of Copper Properties in Mason
Valley District.

3 Another striking feature about the
Nevada Douglas mine lies in the fact
that the ore is remarkably homogeneous.
That is, If you break almost any piece of
ore, the values are found to be well dis
seminated throughout.
Active development work has been
carried on for the past six months and in
every instance where work has been per-
formed on an ore body, the continuity
has been established; not only horizon
folly, but in elevation as well. From the
upper to the lower workings the contin-
uity has been proven to over $50 fect. "
Since making the recent examina-
ton ! am prepared to state that there
are over 100, 900 tons of smelling ore ac-
tually proved-and a very conservative
estimate of the amount of concentrating
ore shown up in the same manner is
1,000.0 200 tons. Undoubtedly this guam
tity will be Systematically added to dur
ing the year.
Regarding Nevada Douglas ore val
ues," added Mr.. Pearse,' / have re-
Gently sampled the mine very carefully
and find that the average of the smelling
ore runs from 6 to per cent. in copper;
whereas, the low grade ore runs from 2
to per cent. copper. 1t is very evident,
therefore, that we are practically certain
of both tonnage and values.''
Such talk as the above, and the hatter-
ing reports from such men as M. M.
Johnson, George Gum and others who
are captains in the copper mining indus
try, makes us believe that we were not
entirely off in our prediction of five years
ago, or else we made guess that would
skin a Yankee to death.

Fitz- Mac the versatile writer of min

esting articles in the Salt Lake Tribune,
the Goldfeld Tribune and the Reno
Journal regarding the Yerington copper
district. He does not fear to tell the
public that this district is greater than
any other in the State, outside of Ely
and says in plain language that the main
reason for the lack of enterprise in the
Yerington district is the failure to ad-
vertise our resources. Fitz-Mac gives
the Utah people due credit for having
foresight enough to get into this district
on the ground floor, and tells the Reno
people they have been too slow to catch
their breath. He gives the Goldfeld
and Tonopah people the credit of being
the smartest bunch of boosters on earth,
and attributes this mainly to their adver-
