OF course it was located and
abandoned, like hundreds of other
present-day bonanzas of Nevada,
half a dozen times over before it
fell into hands strong enough to
develop it-in truth before condi-
tons made its development posi-

Today it is the property of Capt.
Delamar, of wide mining fame
the greatest captain of mining of
the present generation in America
the greatest since Mackay and

Yerington!-Never heard Of it
in Colorado before, did you!
Well. you will hear lot about
it soon-all the country will-for
it is going to make noise in the
world within a few months, that
will smother the noise of Manhat-
tan and Bullfrog and the other
desert camps that now monopolize
public attention.
Yerington isn't in the desert. 1t
is the chief town-in fact the only
town-in the finest and largest
agricultural valley in Nevada, wa
tered by the finest river in the
State, strong, constant stream
that has its source in the eternal
SHOWS of the Sierras. Locally the
valley is called Mason Valley
probably because the Mason
family were the first settlers-but
on the maps it is "The Walker
River Valley" and it is watered
by the Walker River, which has
twice the volume of the South

as it should be opened, and from
present indications they have
struck it big.
But this Walker River country
is, throughout, region of big
things in the mineral line.

Yerington is the center of pres
ent development on Nevada's
great western copper belt, just as
Ely in White Pine county is the
center of development in its great
eastern copper belt.
The developed ore bodies at
Yerington are not one solid mass
as at Ely, but they are very large
from 10 to 200 feet across-and
they carry a much higher grade of
ore-two or three times as high.
Several of the properties mention
ed near the Bluestone have ship
ped thousands of tons of high
grade ore--ore that couldn't be
shipped at all at profit, at former
prices for copper, unless it was
high grade.
Many of these properties-as
that Minnesota group mentioned
though only slightly developed,
have the ear marks of great fu-
ture bonanzas on them. The iron
in that property is pretty sure to
be confined mainly to the great
surface outcrop, and depth
will very likely show mine rich
in copper and uranium. But the
iron itself, which would constitute
princely fortune near Pueblo or
Pittsburg, will have high value
as hux in smelling the silicious

ide. 1t also carries strong veins
of a good grade of copper. Ut has
received but small development
because it has heretofore been in
feeble hands and the iron could
not be mined at profit. But the
iron alone may yet make it a very
valuable property, with all the
chances that the iron is mainly at
the surface and that when depth
is gained it will prove a rich cop
per-uranium proposition. AS the
pure metallic oxide of uranium
sells at s. pound it will not take
much of it to make millionaires of
the present owners, ST. Paul peo-
pie, who have wandered away
from the great northern wheat
belt to this great southern mineral
belt to increase their fortunes.
They are reported to be strong
people, able to open the property

And that fool notion settled in
the bones of the people and gave
Nevada cold feet and a long, long
ague when silver took the grand
tumble.
Where copper exists it is al
WAYS the first mineral discovered
in any country because, at the
surface, it is always in the condition
of the blue or green carbonates
(malachite or azurite) whose
bright colors challenge the pros
pector's attention from afar.
That Bluestone mine at Yering-
ton, mentioned as having nine
millions in sight, is a copper prop
osition-that is to say mainly cop
per-and has been known since
Millard Fillmore was President of
the United States. Couldn't help
but be-a prospector, or an emi-
grant lashing his weary oxen
along the trail, could see it seven
miles away.

but it is not named, and seldom
figured on the maps.
Opposite Yerington that low,
ancient range is perfect noun
tain of mineral-mostly copper
carrying low values in gold. The
great outcrops break to the sur
face, at its apex and on both
flanks, in a way that suggests that
the interior at some depth may
prove to be an almost solid lacco-
lite of ore. Elsewhere along the
range high values in gold are
found, as in the Gallagher prop
erty, ten miles to the northward.

But the Bluestone mine is not
the only one at Yerington nor the
richest. 1t is only the one that
has received the most develop
ment and therefore has the most
value in sight. The Dyer property,
the Mcconnell, the Douglas, the
Ludwig and a number of others
close around it are all properties
that produce a higher grade of
ore, and promise with equal de-
velopment to rival the wealth dis
closed in the Bluestone, while the

apparently of the same age, con-

wood. In its upper course it is a
picturesque and romantic river,
alive with trout and always cover
ed with water fowl. In its upper
course also it has sufficient fall to
generate limitless supply of elec-
trio power for the mines-and the
power will soon be needed for the

at gallop.
That Bluestone mine mentioned
is only three miles from the Walk
er River and Yerington and in
plain view of the town looking
westward. 1t lies in a low and an
cient range that appears to have
been formed under the ocean and
which forms the west wall of the
Walker River Valley. Locally it
is called the Mason Valley range,

SlUSic HiInC III SiibSlo :
How would it suit you to own
that? - Knock your eye out,
wouldn't il, if anybody offered
you a piece of property like that
for nothing?
Well, you might have had it for
nothing if you'd been on the spot
in time. The whole secret of sue
cesssful prospecting is to be on
the right spot at the right time.
But there is time enough yet to
find something just as good, near
by, if you only hump yourself and
and get a move on you.
That's more than all the mines
at Manhattan or all the mines at
Bullftog, or any two of Goldfeld's
splendid string of bonanzas can
show up today-and they are all
great camps, too-truly great.
No wonder Nevada is booming
all along the line and in every
quarter-it's full of great mines
and new camps are blossoming
out right along like roses in June.
But Nevada's new camps are all
old-just as Cripple Creek was
old when rediscovered in 1891.
With the exception of Clifford's
Hill and Tonopah every one of
Nevada's new camps has been
known for forty years-not the
particular bonanza mines that are
in bloom today, of course, but only
the camps. This is true of Cherry
Creek, of Dolly Warden, of Ely,
of Manhattan, of Goldfield, of Sill
yer Peak, and Ida and Palmetto
and Bullfrog.
1t is true also of Yerington,
where that Bluestone mine with
the $4,000, 900 of value in sight,
has just blossomed out to challenge
public attention.
1t is really oldest of all.
1t has actually been known as
mineral region for almost sixty
years, for it was one of the first
sections of Nevada to enlist the
attention of white men and get
settled up-because it covers the
fertile and fruitful valley of the
Walker River and lies on one of
the old emigrant trails over the
Sierras to California.
But the mineral first found by
prospectors in the Walker River
country was all copper and they
couldn't work copper in those
days SO remote from transporta-
ton. And the adventurous idiots
who first went through the region
jumped to the conclusion that be-
cause it carried copper it didn't
and couldn't carry anything else.
Subsequently the more scien-
tific imbeciles of all the world gave
it out cold that Nevada was essen
TALLY silver country and would
not be found to carry pay values
in any other mineral.

The valley has a north-south
course and is about 10 miles wide
by 60 miles long. At the north
end-that is at Yerington-its ele-
walton is only 4,3oo feet, and I
found the farmers blowing there
the middle of February. The win
ter climate may be judged by that
circumstance.
At the copper end--the south
end-the mountains are high and
grand, and are we'll wooded.
In days long gone there were
two great gold mines at the south
ern end-the Wilson, on Pine
Grove mountain, with record of
eight millions in gold, and the
great Del Monte further south.
The country lies near the Cali
fornia line and in the shadow of
the majestic Sierra Nevada range.

Up to Enthusiasm Over Inn

Stripes Everywhere
By Associated Press.

! BUDAPEST. Sept 16.-This was
George Washington's day in Hungary
capital and the entire population from
morning until night gave itself up to
enthusiasm over the unveiling on mon
archical territory of monument of the
| first president of the United States.
The stars and stripes and the Hun
garlan colors intertwined were to be
seen everywhere. This morning there
were special sermons in many of the
churches, the preachers calling atten-
ton to the importance of the event.
This afternoon thousands of persons
| lined the streets through which passed
an imposing parade to the city park,
in which the, monument stands. Thirty
thousand persons were in the park
which was surrounded by many thous-
ands more. Francis Kossuth, Hun
garian minister of commerce, and
Count Albert Apponyi. minister of wor-
ship, represented the independence
party at the ceremonies, but were not
present in their capacity as govern
ment officials.
The attendance included members of
the Diet, the various municipal officials,
Chester, the American consul general,
headed by e. T. Kohanyi of Cleveland,
and delega tes from patriotic societies
in all parts of Hungary.
Prior to the unveiling united choirs
sang the Hungarian hymn. the ma
tional anthem and other hymns.
The monument was unveiled amid
scenes of great enthusiasm.
Washington's Great Work
Herr Brakovsky. vice president of the
chamber of deputies, was the ora tor
of the day. He dwelt at length on
Washington's great work for the cause
of civilization not only for the United
States, but for all the world. He said
the standard set by the father of the
American republic had Influenced Louis
Kossuth, and that by that standard
Hungary's greatness would be at
tanned.
Mr.. Kohanyi in a speech praised
American institutions and freedom. He
said Hungarian Americans were true
citizens of the republic but would al
ways keep up their love for their native
country.
Mayor Bauzy of Budapest promised
to take good care of the monument and
hoped that the friendship between the
countries would last forever.
After the speech crowds paraded past
the pedestal, covering the monument
with flowers and floral designs.
At a banquet tonight Herr Bauzy
toasted President Roosevelt, and Con-
sui General Chester proposed the health
of the king of Hungary.
Count Apponyi eulogized the United
States and expressed his admiration of
Hungarian-Am for being abso-
lutely loyal to their new home, while
retaining their love for the fatherland.
Mr.. Chester availed himself of the
opportunity to state that he only at
tended the ceremonies and the banquet
as a private American citizen, thinking
it was his duty to do so on such an
occasion.

HAVANA, Sept. 1.-THE government
this evening is making final strenuous
efforts to restore peace in Cuba and
thus avoid any kind of American ILL
tervention.
The object of these endeavors, it is
said, is that it may be able to say by
the time Secretary of War Taft and
Acting Secretary of State Bacon ar
rive that peace has already resulted,
that therefore there is no need for
American intervention either to restore
peace or insure permanent tranquility.
Members of the government informed
the Associated Press that they are
making the efforts in accordance with
the advice contained in President
Roosevelt's letter. that they have 10
objection to the friendly assistance of
the United States If it becomes neces-
lsary, but that they believe they can
settle it between the government and
the revolutionists without the neces-
sity of Intervention.
AT least they say they are making
an attempt to accomplish this end
uHdlueu ana with ta1r prospects OF
success.
This is the latest phase of a rapidly
changing situation that developed this
afternoon when an extra ordinary ga
zette was issued containing a decree
signed by President Palma on the rec
ommendation of Secretary of Public
Works Montalvo. The decree follows:
Campaign Suspended
"All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and in consequence the gov
ernment forces will act only on the
defensive throughout the republic. The
secretary of the interior will issue all
the necessary orders for the execution
of this decree"
The decree caused great surprise as
1t was believed to signify change of
heart by the government officials, who
for the past two days have been
strongly against taking up peace over
lures with the emissaries of the revo-
lutionists.
The Associated Press learns that to.

eral Menocals renewed effort in visit
