PROPERTIES CONSOLIDATED THE INTER-VALLEY MINES

E. ]. Meyer, of New York, who has
been looking over the great Yerington
copper district for the past month, has
found something in the district which
he has thought enough of to purchase.
Mr.. Meyer this week purchased for cash
the copper properties formerly owned by
]. ]. M. Blaine in the Mason Pass coun-
try. These claims are ten in number
and for some time past have been held
under bond by DIR. B. +. Berger. The
claims are in promising section and
from some of them some ore has been
shipped in years past which ran as high
as rs per cent. in the red metal and car
rying from 81. so to 81 in gold. Mr..
Meyer is going to put on force of men
to do development work in the very
near future, and has selected c. F. Sher-
wood, the prominent young engineer
and metallurgist of this place, to act as
superintendent of the property.

BUILDING TRACTION ROAD

Work is progressing as rapidly as pos
sible on the traction engine road for the
Nevada Douglas Company. This road
starts at point on the Nevada and Cal
ifornia division of the Southern Pacific
system about six miles northwest of Wa
buska, and follows the foothills around
to the foot of Mason Pass. The road
then follows the pass over the range and
around the base of the west slope of the
mountains to the mine. There are some
pretty steep grades in the pass and lot
of sandy road which will have to be
graveled before the engine can travel
over it, but the company which puts the
engine in thinks it can haul over the
road after it is constructed. The ma
chine is now on the ground and it will
not be a great while before it is tried
out. If it proves success it will be the
first one that has done so in this State,
and many attempts have been made to
use them in the mining camps of the
south and the agricultural districts of
both the eastern and western parts of
Nevada. If the machine is successful it
will be great thing for the Douglas
people, as they will be enabled to get
their freight into the mine at a much
less expense than at present, and it win
also allow them to ship the great
quantity of ore in the mine which is of
shipping grade. The greatest advan-
tage will be, however, the getting of
freight in for the construction of a re-
duction plant on the ground.

One of the transactions of Importance
in mining way during the week has
been the consolidation of the interests of
the Copper Deposit group of claims, just
south of the Bluestone, and the Yering-
ton Copper King holdings adjoining the
Copper Deposit. The Copper Deposit
group is owned by the Nevada Douglas
people, of Salt Lake and the Copper
King ground belonged to Messrs. Keat-
ting, Savielle, Booth and Turner, also of
Salt Lake A new company will be
formed to operate this property which,
with the consolidation, makes a nice
piece of ground in very desirable To-
cality in the copper belt. The property
will be controlled by the Nevada Doug
las people, and as they are pushers in
developing anything they own in the
way of mines, it may be anticipated that
things will be humming on the CONSOLE
dated ground very soon.

MALACHITE
SHOWING GOOD ORE

The Salt Lake Tribune of Thursday
says that Salt Lakers have achieved an
other success in the great Yerington cop
per district, the local talent having
brought to light an additional red metal
producer of large dimensions, in the
Yerington Malachite property, group
adjoining the Mason Valley. o. H.
Some, the superintendent of this COM
pany, has written the Salt Lake office
that the mine is developing splendidly,
and in his opinion it will have to accept
second seat for no other property in
that camp of great achievements. SUI
perintendent Some states that the man
agement is running series of drifts for
the purpose of opening up the ores at
liberal depths, and not drift is lacking
in a full face of ore.
The values of the ores, he states,
while not phenomenal, will compare
very favorably with any that the entire
district can boast of, the copper contennts
easily demonstrating the property to be
a characteristic Yerington proposition.
The southwest drift, which has been
penetrating formation of barren lime,
has entered the mineralized zone,
all through the face are copper sulphides
which improve with each shot. The
northwest drift is entering the zone with
the face entirely in sulphides, and the
superintendent states that it certainly
looks good. -
In sending the northeast drift into the
zone, the ores encountered do not con-
tain as high percentage of copper as its
more fortunate fellows, but the face is
improving so rapidly as the work pro-
crosses that Mr.. Some does not hest
tate to predict that by the time of max
ing his next report this working will
SLOW equally encouraging values. Yer
ington, ever on the lookout for new prop
critics, has no scruples in predicting for
the Malachite season of great results,
and it is already listed among the mines
of that great red metal section. AS
usual, the Ma1achite is Salt Lake prop
osition, controlled by the National Devel-
opment Company.

NEVADA BONANZA CO.
Promising Group Of Copper Claims West Of Ludwig Be
Operated Extensively

Freeman Morningstar, President and
General Manager of the Nevada Bonanza
Copper Co., was in Yerington last week
on business connected with the property
and the new townsite of Morningstar.
This company has group of IS claims
just west of the famous Ludwig mine,
and has been carrying on development
work in small way since July last. A
double compartment shaft is being sunk
on the liza claim in the group and will
be dropped to the depth of 800 feet.
This will be working shaft and the
country will be crosscut from this shaft
at depths of 100, 200 and 800 feet. A
tunnel is also being run on the liza claim
to cut a ledge which crops on the sur
face. This tunnel now penetrates the
hill for distance of about IS feet. The
ledge on the surface is in the neighbor-
hood of 80 feet in width.
In the Copper King claim in this
group shaft is down so feet showing a
ledge of copper ore six feet in width
which runs from to Is per cent. in
capper, $4.20 in gold and small amount
of silver.
The company has boarding house on
its property 16x40 feet in dimension,
bunk houses, blacksmith shop and sta
bles, and is now building an Office and
rooms for superintendent and assayer,
and in the near future an assay Office
will be erected; just as soon as carload
of lumber can reach the property from
Salt Lake.
Accompanying Mr.. Morningstar on
his visit here last week were L. J.
Strohouer, and T. W. Oesterle, brothers
in-law, of Saginaw, Mich. They are
quite heavily interested in the company
and are much pleased with what they
have secured.
A townsite has been laid out and sur
veyed just below the property of this
company and the Ludwig mine and
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-02-09

about half mile northwest of the Me-
vada- Douglas mine. The townsite con-
tains some $500 lots and will be known as
Morningstar, being named after the pop
ular Superintendent of the company.
The Nevada Bonanza Company is in
corporated for zoo, 900 shares with par
value of 81 per share, but the company
will probably increase its capital stock to
!, 200, 600 shares soon. Connected with
the company are such men as H. p.
Clark, Cashier of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, of Salt Lake City, L. F..
Peabody, connected with the same in
stitution, Judge Smith, Cashier of the
Deseret National Bank, P. S. Williams,
General Attorney for the o. S. L.,
Jas. F. Dunn, Superintendent of Motive
Power for the S. P system, John W..
Young, of London, England, President
of the San Pete Valley Railroad, Walter
Fitch, of Duluth, Mich, iron mines, aud
formerly General Manager of United
States Smelling & Refining Co., S. ".
Trent, President of the Trent Engineer
ing and Mine Machinery Co., Salt Lake,
and other leading mining men of Salt
Lake City
The company proposes to push devel-
opment work on the property to the
limit, and it will probably be but few
months before you will hear of many
things being done on the property and
in the new camp of Morningstar. The
name alone should give it bright
ness all its own in the great constella-
ton of new mining camps in the great
State of Nevada. And besides this the
company's property is located in the
great Yerington copper district, close to
some of the big ones, and adjacent to
the great and fruitful Mason Valley,
from which agricultural supplies can be
easily obtained at cost that will allow
the miner to live nearly as cheaply as
the farmer-a situation that exists no
where else in the State.

VIM. Gelder, of New York, and his
associates, who recently secured eleven
full claims and number of fractions on
Copper Flat, just across the river from
Yerington, have just completed the or
ganization of a strong company to oper-
ate in the great Yerington district. The
company has been organized for !, 0O0,-
900 shares with the par value of each
share at S.. Mr.. Vim. Colder is Presi-
dent of the company and his son, ]. E.
Gelder, is one of the directors and gen.
eral manager. The property secured
lies about one mile west of Yerington
and has some excellent surface showings.
Some work done on several of the claims
also showed up some good ore at depth
of so to 70 feet; in fact several carloads
of cuprite ore were shipped from these
claims last year which gave returns of
about IL per cent. copper.
During the past two months exhaust
i've tests have been made on the surface
silicate and oxide ores and it has been
thoroughly demonstrated that they can
be handled on a large scale at nice
profit by the teaching process. These
tests have been confirmed by no less an
authority than the Henry E. Woods test
ing plant at Denver, and also the Hen
dryx Leaching Company, of Denver.
This being the case, there is no reason
why the company should not amass a
fortune from its holdings, as the oxi-
died ore outcrops on the surface of it's

ground for distance of over ], 900 feet.
Careful sampling shows this ore to run
from to per cent. in the red metal,
excluding the high grade malachalite ore,
which runs as high as 20 per cent. in
copper.
The company is now planning the con-
struction of large teaching plant for the
treatment of these surface ores, and there
are on the way from the East couple
of diamond drills to prospect the ground
at depth to determine the locality of the
sulphide zone, which must exist under
meath the oxides and carbonates, and
determine the spots where working
shafts shall be dropped down to develop
the ground at depth.
From now on the company will push
the work of development and plant con-
struction as rapidly as possible. In all
probability the old buildings on the
ground will be converted into teaching
plant, and many new buildings will be
erected in the near future. Already the
company has fine laboratory in opera
ton, consisting of crushers, grinders,
rolls, engine, scales, and in fact COM
plete outfit for making chemical tests,

of locating the owners. If the
assessors were instructed, how
ever, by a new law or someone
in authority, to notify the last
known owners of property much
trouble would be easily averted.
The main trouble with the
present law, however, is that it
allows anyone with the price to
purchase delinquent tax GER
tifcates. There are many who
will deal honestly with them but
occasionally one is found who
deals in them for the express
purpose of feathering his nest
and with no regard to the rights
of the original owner, hence it
were better for the county to
hold the land and avoid tempting
the INSCRIPTIONS.

One thing President Roosevelt
lacks that his predecessors had
is modesty. If he had half as
much Of that quality as he should
have he would lay this third
term business by the heels at
once and silence~it for all time.
George Washington, that glori-
GUS saviour of his country, was
too modest to accept the presi-
dency when it was offered him
the third time, even though the
entire country demanded his ac-
ceptance. Other presidents who
followed him would not break
the precedent he established, but
Teddy, who "butts in" every
where, has no such modest scru-
pies, will not refuse the third
nomination if it is rendered him.
His love of prominence and pub
licity will prove too strong.

Some of or our readers evident
ly gathered the idea last week
that in our article about the tax
question we were out after the
county assessor and some other
county officials. Perhaps we did
not make our meaning quite as
clear as we should have but our
aim was to show that the present
law regarding the sale of prop
erty for delinquent taxes was
wrong and that some persons
dealing in the tax deeds might
be slightly INSCRIPTIONS in their
dealings. AS the law stands it
is a hard matter to get around
its provisions but we believe it
would be to the best interest of
every county in the state if the
law were changed so as to allow
each county to bid in property
for delinquent taxes instead of
disposing of it recklessly to
private investors. Then the
county should hold the property,
subject to redemption, for a
certain time and, after it was
clearly shown that no owner
could be located, or that the
owner would not pay his taxes,
then sell the property to the
highest bidder for cash. It is
not the assessors fault the last
known owner of the property is
not notified of any delinquency
as the law does not prescribe for
such notice and in many cases
tax sales are made by former
assessors and he has no means
