splendid returns. This does not take
into consideration the numerous pros

trict whose surface showings were not SO

that Yerington looks for railroad build

Ed Ross and Frank Carroll returned to
Yerington Saturday last after an in
spection of the Lappin meadows placer
strike covering several days. The gentle
men inform us that there are several
rockers in operation in the district each
scoring marked success. The country
for several miles has been located and
the district is alive with prospectors.
SO far as the visitors were able to
learn, the placers are obtained only in
the gulch where the original discovery
was made by Hansen and his associates.
Some of the gold from the placers
was brought to this city by Mr.. Ross.
Its ragged corners bear evidence that it
has not come from any great distance,
from which it may be presumed that
somewhere in the neighborhood lies a
mother lode which, if uncovered, might
prove extremely rich
At the scene of the discovery small
camp has sprung up, consting of a
population of about seventy-five male
inhabitants. A saloon is already on
the ground and other enterprises are
