YERINCT0N GOLDEN STAR co,
A New Company to Develop Gold Property on the
East Side.

A new company, entitled the Yering-
ton Golden Star Mining Co., has just
been formed by B. w. Warrington and
associates, R. B. Wampler, of Goldfeld,
and I. S. Clark and A. d. McEvoy, of
Los Angeles, to operate for gold in this
district. The property taken over is
four claims belonging to H. G. Wede-
kind, and located about eight miles
northeast of Yerington. The company
is incorporated for / 100000 shares with
a par value of 81 each, under the laws
of Arizona. B. w. Warrington is Presi-
den of the company, A. d. McEvoy,
Vice President, and T. L. Hoppin, Sec
rotary.
The property secured by this company
is probably the best developed in that
section, and was discovered by H. G..
Wedekind something over two years ago.
He sank an incline on ledge of gold
and silver ore to depth of about SO
feet. This ledge shows width on the
surface of about 80 feet and assays have
been obtained which show the ore to run

from SIS to $500 in gold and silver. At
the bottom of the 50-foot shaft on the
property drift penetrates the ledge
matter for some distance, and tunnel
from the side of the hill below has also
been run in about so feet, having just
reached the ore body.
Under the management of the new
company the drift at the bottom of the
shaft will be extended so feet further to
demonstrate the width of the ore body
at that level A double compartment
shaft will also be driven to depth of
800 feet or more and the ground ex-
plored with drifts and crosscuts. The
tunnel will also be advanced in the ore
body and will tap the ledge about 80
feet below the bottom of the shaft, or
100 feet below the surface.

to Yerington couple of electric hoists
will be installed. The shafts will be
dropped to depth of 500 or 500 feet
then and the ground exploited by cross
cuts. This company has something over
$40 acres of ground. and on the surface
10 distinct veins have been opened up
which show good values in the red metal.
1t is confidently expected that many
more veins will be discovered when the
snow goes off and surface work can be
done. The veins are in granite, por-
phyry and lime formation, and alto
gether very promising outlook is ahead
of the company. The company has a
good big boarding house, nice office and
stables on the ground; also carload of
lumber on the ground and another at
Wabuska. Arrangements are also being
made to bore for artesian water, which
it is believed can be obtained at depth
of less than 500 feet; water will be OBJ
tanned in any event sufficient for house
hold purposes. From Is to Is men are
now employed on the property and more
will be put on as soon as room can be
made for them.

DEATH OF MRS. HILYGUS

One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in the community for some
years, was the passing away of Mrs.
Kitty Hilygus yesterday morning just
before noon. Mrs. Hilygus had been
ailing for the past year with heart
trouble and about week ago contracted
a severe cold which resulted in an attack
of pneumonia, and the complication of
troubles caused her death very unex-
pectedly. Mrs. Hilygus was the eldest
daughter of Angus Mcleod and wife,
and was aged Is years and few months.
She grew to womanhood in Mason
Valley and had host of friends here,
being of lovable and sunny disposition.
To mourn her sudden demise she leaves a
heart-broken husband and two little
girls, father and mother, FIVE brothers
and one sister.
At the time of going to press it was not
known when the funeral will take place.
The brothers, who are, some of them,
in Tonopah and Goldfeld, have been
telegraphed of the sad occurrence, and
will probably be here today. The entire
community extends its sincere sympathy
to the bereaved relatives.
