FIGHT FOR A
POWER SITE

W. Stephens was in Gardner
vile last Sunday on his way to
Mono county, where he goes to lo.'k
after his interests there. Early
last year he located power rights
on the West Fork of the Walker
river at point known as Chris
Flat. 1t is now claimed that the
California-Nevada Electric COM
pany has located the same rights.
Mr.. Stephens does not propose to
relinguish his claim to the prop
erty without fight and from in
formation gained from one who is
we'll posted on the situation, it is
learnd that Stephens was really
the first locator, but whether he
proceeded in strict accordance of
the law is not known. A law suit
will most likely result and it is
stated that both sides will fight to
the better end to gain possession OF
what is the most valuable power
site in this section of the country.

MlNDEN AGAIN
Meets DEFEAT

Last Sunday the second game Of
ball was pulled off between the
Minden and Gardnerville team
which resulted in victory for the
latter by score of l6 To 20. The
game was an exciting one and was
greatly enjoyed by the spectators.
The younger generation of this
town was out in full force and
their "rooting was greatly amuse-
ing to both sides. The players of
the Minden team are slightly on
the improve in their team work
which gives them encouragement
in their belief that transcendency
will be theirs before the SUNNI .r
has past.
Just now much good natured
rivalry exists between the MEM
bers of the two teams and their
respective adherents. Let it re-
main 80 and those who wish to
wager money on the outcome of
any game to be played between
the opposing teams should re-
member the results OF past enmiry
arising from like occasions.

At
RED CANYON

In Red Canyon, a mining dis
trict on the East slope of the Pine
nut mountains, has been the scene
of several very important mining
discoveries during the past few
weeks and the district is swarmed
with prospectors.
Five claims which the Jessen
brothers sold 1.-THE controlling lin
terest to New York people and
what is known as the Red Canyon
Mining company is in the very
heart of the district. Tuesday the
Jessens received notifications from
the secretary of the company to
get things in shape to begin work
before the. Doth OF June.
The veins trend northwest and
southwest; the formation is granite
with an intrusion of dioriles and
enormous dykes carrying a heavy
percentage # pyritic iron, and the
oxidization gives the steep hill a
deep red hue, from which it de-
rived its name OF Red Canyon.
On the Copper Queen the miner
alization shows a lreat deal of sui
phides, in several places twenty
feet in width. The Utica group
consists of twelve claims and is
owned by Salt Lake people and on
this property is series of contact
veins. The formation here is
diorities, granite schist and some
carboniferous limestone. At one
point on this pooperty the sulphide
ores crop for a length of three
claims and are capped with red
oxide of iron which lies between
the schist and diorit.. One of the
NOR uments on the Utica claim is
built entirely of copper stained
limestone.
The limestone belt is disclosed
at least half a mile wide and the
naturalization is very pronounced
and shows great deal of silver
lead ore on several claims.
The surface showing in Red Can
yon district is entirely sufficient to
warrant aggressive development
and as the hill slopes at an angle
of 45 degrees economical develop
ment can be advanced by driving
tunnels. Ample water is furnished
by stream which runs down the
canyon carrying something like
1000 miners inches, and as there
is ample timber on the mountains
very favorable conditions prevail
for active work.
