NEVADA DOUGLAS is
LOOKING fine With
development

1T never has been my privilege before
to see property that responds so finely
10 the efforts of those in charge as the
Nevada Douglas ground at Yerington, y
stated General Manager w. c. Orem last
week, upon his return to Salt Lake from
the mine in question. Continuing, Mr..
Orem said:
The bottom of the winze from the
north drift upon the 550-foot level of the
Ludwig is not only all in ore at its pres
ert depth of so feet, but cross-cut
driven so far for s feet gives general
average of "a per cent red metal. and
the end is not yet in sight, nor has either
wall beeii found as vet. In this distance
! ave been found punches of copper in the
native state, punches that approach the
.ize of boulders almost naturally help
out the average of the whole. We are
still going both ways upon the chalcocite
ore shoot on this same level. So far we
have opened it on its strike for 40 feet,
and cross-cut in one place shows the
body to be 27 feetwide. All the faces are
in ore similar to that clear through this
shoot, the general average OF which is Is
per cent copper.
Up to the time of my departure from
the Nevada Douglas the management
had not encountered the ledge upon the
6S0-foot level, the cross-cut still being
i'll the limestone hanging-wall. But to
give you an idea of what sort of rock we
are penetrating and have been peneirat-
ing for some time past, l will state that
out of the last so mine cars extracted
from this level, AZ cars carried ore that
averaged 81 per cent copper to the ton.
We have attempted as yet no stopping or
raising on the chalcocite shoot on the
$50 level, but when we do begin this
work everything points to the fact that
we will block out rich rock mighty fast.
I'VE are making, now, one of the
most significant changes in the affairs of
the Ludwig since taking hold of the
property. This consists of installing
water pipe line from the Nevada Doug
las tanks, also an air pipe line to run the
hoists and machine drills in the Ludwig
These changes will add greatly to the
general efficiency of the equipment OF
the Ludwig, cutting down materially the
cost of mining and acting as safeguard
against any shortage of coal during the
coming winter months. We also
are installing brass-lined pump and
copper pipe through the mine SO as TO
handle the water more economically.
The water in the Ludwig is so charged
with copper that all iron pipe does not
last long.
The casting shaft on the Douglas
group is 1870 feet in depth. The general
average of the last 80 feet of this work
was Sc per cent red metal. The SHAFT
has run through the vein, and cross-cut
will be sent to it from the 2O0-toot level
In the east drift from the main tunnei
the ore averaged from 3.5 to per cent
copper during the past month. Inc loo
level OF the casting shaft is running
steadily between and per cent. Inc
Nevada Douglas looks better with eacii
visit, its future usefulness is positively as
sured, and all that remains for us to 40
now is to place as great tonnage III
sight as possible SO that the future can
be gauged along correct lines. - Salt

Is Favorably impressed

Kew Pittman, the Tonopah attorney
and mining man, was visitor to Yer
ington this week, having come here for
the purpose of inspecting the holdings
of the Wabuska Copper Mines company,
in which he is heavily interested.
MIR. Pittnian was greatly pleased with
the present showing. A few days be-
fore his arrival splendid strike was re-
corded in the shape of the encountering
of 4 feet of ore that averages nearly Is
per cent copper. Naturally enough he
spoke in the highest terms of the mine
and said he believed it was destined tc
make its mark in the copper world.

LYON COUNTY BANK KEEPS Open
Local Institution the Strongest Of its Nature
in State Of Nevada

Again .Yerington comes to the front
with evidence that it is absolutely the
most substantial camp in the State of
Nevada. With financial panics on both
sides of it, banking institutions closed
and general depression, Yerington is
walking right along, head erect with not
the slightest worry.
In spite of the fact that the Governor
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1907-10-26

of the State has issued proclamation
declaring legal holidays SO far as the
banks of Nevada are concerned, the
Lyon County bank remains open. doing
business as If nothing had happened in
other localities.
Again the Times feels proud to repeat
the claim it has often made that Yering-
ton is Nevada's soundest camp.
