by the concurrence of Captain o. A.
Tibbetts, who is retained as consulting
engineer of the new company, that the
men mentioned have gone into the prop
osition, not for stock jobbing purposes,
but to mine
Powerful hosting machinery, a COM
pressor plant and all the necessary
equipment to mine on an extensive scale
is to be provided at once, and ground
will be broken for double-compartment
and manway shaft during the next few
days. Electric power is now being
brought into the camp, and that power
will be used at the property. The first
shaft will be sunk to depth of 800 feet
or more without a stop, and it is very
probable that other shafts will be put
down at the same time, or just as soon
as the ore bodies have been proven up in
the first. President Ferry, Manager
Beatty, Engineer Tibbetts, and possibly
a number of the directors of the COM
pany have left for the camp took over
the property and see the work inaugur-
ated.
I'VE have the same great contact run
ming through our territory said Mr.
Beatty, that has made the famous Lud-
wig mine what it is today. End lines of
our property run within 700 feet of the
developed area of the Ludwig, and we
also have continuation of the same
great zone that is proving to be solid
mass of copper ore in the Nevada Doug
las. Before closing deals for these prop
critics spent over two weeks in making
an examination of the ground. l have
no doubt of results. If l had, not a
penny of my money should have gone
into the proposition. could have turned
all of the ground over and cleaned up a
snug sum of money the day after the
deals were closed, had l been so inclined.
Conditions in that portion of the Yering-
ton district are very similar to what they
are at Bisbee, though the formation is
older and the ores are harder. They are
identically the same in character, how
ever, and their occurrence is just the
same. Good ore has been opened at
different points along the contact be-
tween the lime and the porphyry, and
have every reason to believe that we shall
open a great mine"

DAYTON DOINCS.

Mrs. T. p. Mack returned from Cali
fornia last week, accompanied by her
brother, VIM. Hill, who has been very
i'll for some time past.
Mrs, Alice Walsh, of Gold Hill, was
visiting Dayton friends last week.
Chas. Bailey and family have moved to
Carson to reside.
Harry Bonham is reported to be very
i'll in Goldfield with pneumonia.
A. Panelli and Mrs. Marie Quilici were
married at the residence of the bride in
Dayton on the 18th of November by Jus
tice of the Peace Davis. After the cere-
mony sumptuous supper was served
and dance given to the many guests.
Both of the contracting parties are well
known and highly esteemed by their
many friends.
The house and shed on the ranch of
Joe Ferretto, short distance up Daney
Canyon from Dayton, was burned to the
ground last Sunday night. The loss is
about $1,000, with a small insurance.
The fire undoubtedly started from a de-
fective stovepipe, and there being no
water at hand the flames could not be
checked until they had consumed the
buildings mentioned.

PEOPLE ABOUT THIS DISTRICT

J. E. Caine, vice-president of the Yer
ington Coz per Company, returned from
the mines of his company, situated on
the east side of Mason Valley, New, a
few days ago. The property of this
company is in process of active develop
ment and the outlook is most favorable
as developments indicate, for the max
ing of rich producing mine of great
proportions.
The Yerington Copper Company's
holdings consist of group of twelve
claims, and Mr.. Caine says there is
well-developed vein that traverses the
property through its entire length. This
vein lies between porphyry and lime,
the porphyry constituting the foot-wall
and lime the hanging-wall, and exposes

George Kemp has made some improve
ments to his saloon building by taking
off the canvas roof and putting on a
shingled one.
There will be much activity in the
building line just as soon as lumber can
be secured. About twenty carloads of
lumber have been ordered for new build
ings, but it is impossible to tell when
any of it can be delivered.

BOND ON MONDAY GROUP

Reg A. Davidson, of Tonopah, has
secured an option on seven copper claims
in the vicinity of the Ludwig, from
Pierce, Clark and Kemp, of Buckskin,
for a period of ten days, and will place
the property in the hands of prominen.
Tonopah capitalists in very few days.
These claims lie little north and west
of the Ludwig and Nevada Douglas
properties, and there are indications that
they contain mineral deposits of great
value. The formation is lime and gyp-
sum with some iron. No development
has yet been done on this property ex-
cept the holding work. When the deal
for this property is closed a company
will at once be organized and develop
ment work commenced.

At depth of us feet, the sulphide
region was reached and the company
has let a contract to extend the tunnel,
which will gain $50 feet further depth.
1t is the Judgment of a number of
prominent mining experts, who have
examined the property, that the mine
has great future and can readily be
made great producer. The property
of this company is owned, controlled,
and being developed principally by Salt

feel confident of final results in the
prosecution and development of this

TRACTION ENGINE ROAD

The survey is being made for the road
from the Nevada and California railroad
to the Nevada Douglas mine to be used
by the traction engine which is to be put
in use by the Nevada Douglas Company
to haul freight to the mine and ore to
the railroad. The railroad company is
putting in sidetrack about two miles
west of Wabuska, at which point the
road engine will start from the railroad.
This point has been selected on account
of its prominence and it will give the
traction engine road lighter grade and
better roadbed than to start from Wa
buska. This is another piece of evil
dence that the Nevada Douglas people
mean business. They are crowding
things in the way of development and
cannot wait for a railroad to build to
their property. A railroad will reach
there, however, next year before this
time.
