PREPARING FOR OPERATIONS

General Manager Some of the Mala-
chite returned this week from Reno,
whittier he went to purchase some cleo
trical supplies for his property. Ar
rangements have already been made for
their immediate installation at the mine
as soon as they reach their destination.
Everything is in readiness for the
most active campaign III the history OF
the Malachite, said Mr. Some to a
TIMES man, when the parts arrive for
our electrical machinery we will have
one of the most complete plants that
money can buy, as well as one that will
admit of the most economical and thor
ough development.
No, there is nothing new other than
that already published i'll Your paper
However, we realize that we have an eA-
cellent property. We have splendid ore
and will push the work OF as ertaining
its extent with vim consistent with
good mining

ANOTHER STRIKE MADE
AT MOUNTAIN VIEW

From the Mountain View district
comes the news of another discovery in
the shape of the uncovering of II foot
ledge carrying gold values of from 81 to
$50 per ton.
While engaged in doing annual assess
ment work on the Shirley c claim, a
lead was encountered which palned
freely i'll gold In order to ascertain the
extent of the vein, the ore body was
cross-cut and shown to be of the width
above mentioned. Some Of the ore was
brought to Yerington, assays from which
returned the values stated.
For the attention that has been de-
voted to Mountain View, it has shown
up remarkably we'll 1t will undoubt-
edly make record for itself before
great while, or just as soon as it shal |
have been given the attention 1t de-
serves. 1t is here that the Wilson Gold
Mines company is preparing to actively
open up its holdings. The company has
a very promising acreage, which from
the showings on the surface promises to
yield abundantly of the yellow metal.
Mountain View, were it located nearer
Goldfeld, would right now be i'll the
throes of great excitement. How
ever, its location does not detract one
iota from its worth as possible pro-
ducer. While the ores in the main are
OF low-grade nature, there are strin-
gers running heller skelter through the
country that show values up i'll the PIC
lures. But one thing can hold the
district back and that is no work

Native Copper Operations

Another instance to show that Yering
ton is not taking the copper situation
seriously: At the Native Copper prop
erty men are actively engaged erecting
bunk houses, an eating house, kitchen
and other necessary buildings to provide
winter quarters for the men employed
in the development of the property.
During the work thus far accomplished
which consists of tunnels, shafts, etc.
several tons Of high-grade ore have
been extracted and sacked ready for
shipment. The Native Copper is show
ing up wonderfully well. 1t is already
listed with the big ones OF the camp.

YERINCTON COPPER ONE
OF THE BEST

The Yerington Copper company is
sinking the main shaft from the $50 to
the 300-foot level. 1t will be recalled
that on the former level one of the really
spectacular ore shoots of the Yerington
section was opened up several weeks
ago, and subsequent developments there
fully confirmed the early opinions re-
garding the find. A cross-cut was driv-
wall, and distance of 10 feet was made
without reaching the wall, and with
out finding any indication Of the ore
pinching out. This ten feet added to
the fve-foot width of the shaft gives the
new shoot at least width of fifteen feet
SO far, and with all indications pointing
to many more feet of width being added
upon further development.
This copper ore is Of the richest that
Yerington can boast during its history
SO far. 1t has ranged from 90 per cent
ON down, the average of the whole
fifteen feet above mentioned being II
per cent copper to the ton. 1t is the
present plan of the management to reach
the 300-foot level, being close to within
twenty-five feet of that depth at nres-
ent, then to cross-cut for the vein aud
stope for shipments to the local market.
While the management is assured of the
future of this property, little is being
said by those i'll charge. But visitors
from the copper camp are agreed that
come to Yerington at this time, and the
camp has every confidence in the mine
making good i'll splendid way. Salt

Inspected Black Mountain Property

w ID. Coleman this week inspected
the holdings of himself and associates at
Black i'lc.ntain. He reports good pro-
gress being made together with an in-
crease in values as depth is attained.
From stringer on the surface, the VEN
has widened to 3 feet at 20 feet OF depth,
The values increasing proportionately.
The group is owned by several YerlnS-
Ion parties and is a gold proposition
lhe owners are confident that they have
something away out of the ordinary ana
are spending much time and money III
order to make mine.

MISS BECKER CHARMS
HER AUDIENCE

Miss Josie Becker, Yerington S sweet
singer scored decided success at her
recital in Owl hall last evening. With
voice that nature bestows upon but
few of her children, Miss Becker rem
dered her numbers with charm that
held her vast audience i'll ectasies of
rapture
Miss Becker is to leave Yerington
shortly, it being her ambition to receive
voice culture at the hands of the masters.
Eventually her talents will be devoted
to the operate stage. Her success i'll
her chosen profession seems assured.
Last nights recital was in the nature
of farwell to the beautiful young lady.
That the reception accorded her will
live long in her memory goes without
saying. Local talent assisted each COM
ing in for generous share of applause.
Many years ago Nevada sent forth a
singer who was to charm the world with
her voice. Before Emma Nevada de-
parted from Austin to receive her edu-
cation she was the recipient of fare
well similar to the one rendered Miss
Becker last evening. Is Nevada to again
add one of her own to the worlds great
song birdso Many of us think so. To
that end the progress of Miss Becker i'll
her studies will be closely watched.

Commuters Visit Buckskin

A party of eighteen Oakland capital
ISIS visited Buckskin last week as the
guest of S. Lutz, one of the prominent
operators of the camp. While their
visit was mainly for the purpose OF IN
spectlng the Kennedy Consolidated, they
were shown through the different prop
critics and went away with feeling that
huckskin was really one of the big camps
OF the state.
Mr.. Lutz himself is heavily interested

prominence and worth.

COMPANY IS TO
BEGIN WORK

Work on an extensive scale is to be
started the coming week on the property
of the Flyer Cold and Copper company
at Buckskin. contract has beea let
for sinking shaft on the FLYER claim to
depth of 100 feet. This work will be
under the supervision of George Pringle
of this city.
The company's ground consists of
group of six claims with surface indica-
tons more than favorable for opening
up mine of large proportions. Those
best acquainted with the property have
no hesitancy in saying that it promises
to rival the great Kennedy Consolidated,
the lead of which traverses the Flyer
conpany's estate.
The work already done on the acreage
has proven it to carry values high in the
yellow metal. while the formation is all
that could be asked for by the most
skeptical. On the group is clearly de-
fined contact of rhyolite and diorite. 1t
is here that the company will devote the
most attention. Likewise it is here
where the gold values are most prom
sng
ID. V. Gelder, secretary and treasurer
of the company, inspected the ground
this week. From one of the veins in the
location hole on the contact he secured
an assay of 1928 in gold and 81 3o in sill
yer. In this hole are several good sized
veins, all running high in the yellow
metal. Their dip is such as to warrant
the conclusion that they will converge
into one at greater depth and an ore
body result. TO determine the truth or
falsity of this belief the shaft is to be
sunk and there seems to be no doubt in
the minds of mining men, who have ex-
amined the property. that handsome re-
wards are to meet the efforts of the COM
pany to open up producing mine.
Nowhere, perhaps, i'll either the Yer
ington or Buckskin districts is there a
property that has on the surface more
flattering prospects, 1t seems destined
to rank with the premier mines not only
of this immediate neighborhood but of
the entire State as we'll.
The estate is joined on the east BY the
Inter-Valley a proven property. while
its southern neighbor is the wellknown
Albany group. The Kennedy CONSOLE
dated outcropping clearly cuts through
the Flyer ground, even showing stronger
on the latter than OH the former, while
the work thus far done shows the prop
erty to be even greater than was the
Kennedy at the same stage of develop
ment.
Interested in the Flyer are we'll known
conservative financiers and mining men.
among whom might be mentioned Judge
George Samuels of Oakland, Cal, John
Maurar of Reno, who, with D. " Gel
der, officer the incorporation.

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
qinner In Photography.

Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ginner In Photography.
One of the most important lessons
for beginner to learn Is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure Whenever there are corners
of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. If this is not
done, the building in the picture will
appear to be falling either backward
or forward, according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however, when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
In some cases it is an absolute neces-
sity. For example, in photographs or
clouds, waterfalls, balloons, etc., the
camera may point upward. while In
taking pictures Of people swimming
or bathing. children at work or play.
etc., it may be pointed downward.
Very successful photographs or
prominent speakers, parades, CROWDS,
ETC., have been taken when the camera
was upside down. 1t makes no differ
ence in the negative whether the cam
era is right side up or not. BY holding
the camera in the way suggested many
a photographer has secured good pic
lures, while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made alb
solute failures.
Often by holding the camera by the
side of the body and pointing 1t back
ward one may secure pictures Of chill
dren at play and of older people in
natural poses without the knowledge
Of any members Of the group.
Another warning to beginners is nee
essary. Do not try to take a time ex-
posture while holding the camera In the
hand. Even If the camera Is held
against the breast and respiration STOP
ped the action Of the heart is sufficient
to cause the box to vibrate and spoil
the picture.-Circle Magazine.

The DANGEROUS Aqe.

If man is going to commit crime
during his lifetime the chances are
that he will do 1t at the age Of twenty
nine. 1t is q curious fact that statis-
tics have shown that man is more dan
gerous at this period of his life than
at any other. The majority Of crimi-
nails in the state Of New York have for
some time been Of this age. The gen.
eral supposition is that men have at
tanned the highest development OF their
mental and physical powers at twenty
nine, and they are supposed to be able
to distinguish between right and
wrong and to realize the consequences
liable to follow the indulgence Of ell
Their. Next to the age of twenty-nine
the greatest number Of criminals have
been twenty-one. twenty-seven or for
ty-fve years of age. The intervening
years, in which men do not commit
as many crimes, have not been explain
ed by expert criminologists who have
made investigations proving the above
statements to be true and who are still
working on solution of the problem.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

To cure nose bleeding, tie a string
very tightly around the small part OF
the thumb below the knuckle.
Half teaspoonful Of table salt dis
solved in half glassful Of cold water
will give instant relief in case of heart
burn.
People with poor digestion should
drink no water with meals, but take q
glassful half an hour before and drink
plentifully an hour or 80 after each
meal.
TO inhale steam from bowl of boil
ing water is very good for a sore
throat. The sufferer should lean over
the steam, drawing 1t in both throat
ard nostrils.
Many cases Of indigestion, headache,
neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be
quickly cured by drinking slowly one
or two pints of water so hot that 1t
almost burns the throat
Warts may be entirely removed by
washing the hands two or three times
a day with the water in which pota-
toes have been boiled or by bathing
the wart several times with potato
water.

HOSTING DEVICES.
Machinery That Was Used In Building
the Pyramids.

Machinery That Was Used In Building
the Pyramids.
Hosting machines were used In both
Assyria and Egypt 5000 or more years
ago. In order to hoist the great
stones of the pyramids some form OF
. derrick was employed. Probably the
first construction was that which Is
now known to mechanics as the shear
legs. This is made Of two great tim
bers tied together in the form Of q
capital A, the two ends resting on the
ground and rope being run over and
attached at the top.
With one of these the pyramid build
ers could have raised large stones step
by step, which was doubtless their
method. We can imagine we see the
great A frame leaning over an incline
of perhaps fifty degrees with a block
of stone tied on. Then great crowd
of men get hold Of the rope on the
opposite side, perhaps assisted by some
draft oxen, and all strain and pull until
the A frame stands erect and the stone
is swung UP into the air, where 1t can
be pushed into the desired place.
Such a contrivance could be used to
lift stones six or eight feet. which was
sufficient for the construction Of the
first pyramid. Doubtless better hoist
Ing devices. were constructed as more
pyramids were built.-Circle Magazine.

Where Do the Cents Coz

Nobody knows what becomes OF the
millions on millions Of cents that are
minted annually, the production vary
ing from 25,OOO,OO0 to 100000 per
annum. They simply vanish from
sight and are gone forever. The phe'
nomenon seems strange and Is not cas-
fly accounted for. People say, "What
becomes of all the pins?" That Is
easily answered. Pins soon corrode'
and thus are transformed into nothing
that is recognizable. A copper cent, on
the other hand, is indestructible, COM
paratively speaking. But the solution
of the problem seems to be that cents
are subject to more accidents than any
other coins. They change hands ten
times as often as dimes, for example,
and, being of small value. they are not
cared for.-.Los Angeles Times.

NAMES OF FLOWERS.
Where Some Of Them Come From and
What They Mean.


1t is interesting to know how certain
flowers received their names. Many
were named after people: For. IN
stance, the fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who first brought them
from Peru. The camellia received Its
name from q missionary named Ka-
mel, who carried specimens Of this
flower from Japan to France. The
magnolia was named in honor of Mag
mol de Montpelier. Other flower names
are descriptive. Lady's slipper resem-
bles tiny slipper. The blossoms Of
lady's tresses are twisted like a braid
Of hair. The flowers Of the fOxglove
are like the fingers Of glove. The
name foxglove is said to be corrup-
ton Of "folk's glove" or "fairy's glove"
Aster means star and received its name
from the starlike rays Of this flower.
Daisy is really days eye." Dandelion
means lions tooth. Do you think the
name is appropriate for this notched,
rather jagged flower?
Anemone means wind flower" The
anemone is so delicately poised that 1t
trenbles in the slightest breeze.
Dutchman's breeches resemble nothing
so much as a baggy pair of trousers.
Morning glories bloom only In the
morning and four o'clocks not until
that hour in the afternoon.-StS Louis

INDIAN LODGES.
Homes of the Eavages In the Days OF
the Buffalo.

Homes of the Eavages In the Days OF
the Buffalo.
While in buffalo days some Of the
wild Indians of the plains occupied per-
manent dwellings during part Of the
year, there were others who lived who'll
" in movable lodges.
These were made Of buffalo skins
tanned white and sewed together. They
were of different sizes, the poor Occu-
pying smaller lodges, while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses, very
likely had large family and required
n larger lodge. The size of q mans
lodge was to some extent an indication
of his wealth. Two horses were need
ed to drag the poles Of large lodge
and one to carry the lodge itself, three
horses for the transportation Of the
dwelling alone, to say nothing of the
other property and the different mem
bers of the family.
A lodge of moderate size required
eleven skins, and eighteen poles were
needed to set it up. A sixteen skin
lodge required twenty-five poles. The
larger the lodge the greater was the
number Of poles needed. From the
fact that they used an unusual number
of poles in setting up their lodges 1t re-
suited that the Cheyennes had well
stretched, nice looking lodges.
The northern Cheyennes declare that
an odd number of hides was always
used for the best lodges, and the num-
Der might range from eleven to twenty
one. The skins were sewed together
with sinew thread. First, OF course,
the hides must be tanned, the hair re-
moved and the skin softened. Then
the Cheyenne woman held a sewing
bee which was not unlike the bees
Of our ancestors In the early days OF
this country She invited her friends
to come and help her sew her lodge
and provided them with refreshments.
Among them was always one woman
especially skillful in cutting out the
lodges, and she fitted the skins together
before the women began to sew them.

Striped at the Law.

Dickens describes in his novel
"Bleak House" the woes Of those who
were involved in suits in the chancery
court and the delays to which they
were subjected before the English 5u-
dicial procedure was reformed. Tradi-
ton says that an artist once represent
ed the same idea in much less space.
Two suitors in chancery, being recon-
ciled to each other after a very tedious
and expensive suit, applied to him to
paint a device In commemoration OF
their return to peace and amity. He
gave them entire satisfaction by paint
ing them in the act Of shaking hands
one clad in his shirt, the other without
even that.
