ian, whose name cannot recall, is the
premier in potatoes. He has raised about
40 carloads, or 500 tons, of the tuber,
and has refused S22 ton for the crop
Last year he sold his entire crop of po-
tatoes at all average of $40 per ton.
Even at the price he refused his output
is worth over $13 900.

Tuesday afternoon a bevv of Indies
met at the home OF Mrs. Thad Hoppin
to organize reading club. Plans were
discussed Tor course in English. The
ladies' were particularly fortunate
IN the presence of Mrs. T. Wells of
Ohio, well-versed club woman, and
Miss Fitzpatrick, Kindergarten of Den
yer. The Stoddard lectures will form a
part of the work. Temporary officers
were chosen in Mrs. Thad Hoppin as
president, and Mrs. Frank Sticknev as
secretary. 1t was impossible to reach
all the ladies, many of whom are out of
town, who be might interested in
the work. 1t is hoped that all book
lovers will rally to the support of the
movement and contribute to the success
of long felt want in our town. The

STREETS FOR YERINGTON

Nor let the city council stop at the
streets. There are some beastly jogs OH
the west side that, to say the least, are
eye-sores, which would not be counte-
ranced in many localities on earth.
Why, in certain sections of the city a
person to find some particular business
houses must of necessity secure search
warrant. If the owners of the proper
ties projecting beyond the line estab-
lshed by the city engineer are not pub
lie-spirited enoughto move back to po-
sition in conformity Herewith, the coun-
Gil should take it upon itself to see that
it is done. In the beginning there should
not be allowed any such obstacles to
stand i'll the way, which at least mar the
beauty of the city
Yerington has but started on its jour
ney to greater things. Those at the
helm of the city government must lay
the foundation one that will mot crum-
bic to dust away
The Times has every confidence in the
Mayor and his councilmen, Messrs. Gal
lagher, Some. Ross and Snyder. On
behalf of the people it thanks them for
the action taken so far as the streets are
concerned. On behalf of the people it
asks them to get busy on the matter OF
joys and sewers.

A man named Howard was arrested
yesterday "wednesday OF telegraphic
instructions from Yerington. He is
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses from Charley Holland.
Howard is employed on the Styles ranch
OH Truckee Meadows, and few days ago
was sent after drover who allowed four
steers from the Styles ranch to go away
with band of cattle being driven by
him. Howard followed the .cattlcman
into Mason valley, but the cattle, with
the exception of one steer, had been
sent back. While at Yerington Howard
got drunk and represented himself as a
cattle buyer, borrowing money OH the
strength of his false representations.
He was arrested in this city by Deputy
Sheriff Jennings while returning to
Truckee Meadows. He has heretofore

If Nevada had two or more valleys
like Mason Valley, she wouldn't have to
depend upon her mines for everything. :"
That's the opinion of S. Boliver Crane,
representative of the New York Life,
who has Just returned from trip to
Yerington and its vicinity.
Mason Valley is, perhaps, the great
est bee raising section in the state.
Harry Warren is the most prominent
apiarist in the valley, This season he
has produced IS tops of honey that will
bring II cents a pound. Seventy seven
hundred dollars for honey isn't bad

also raised 700 tons of hay for which he
will receive SIS per ton. So these two

The inmates of the Lyon county poor

commissioners on account of the saving

perhaps, the only county in Nevada

their attention to giving the council as

matter of course, mean increased taxa

Mr. Caine was more than elated Win
what he saw. The shaft has reached a
depth of 32s feet, at which point the

aging from s to 10 per cent copper.

attention is in reality one OF the best
propositions in The district. No assays
of the gold ledge have been made, the
eye being able to Judge Of its quality.
In the different workings on the Ma
tive Copper. consisting of four tunnels
driven to various distances, gold has IN
variab1y been associated with the rel
metal, running from q trace to six dol
lars per ton. In the main tunnel, now
in 125 feet, an 8-inch vein parallels Tie
big copper ledge which, from ASSAYS
made, shows the top value of six dollars.
As to the copper showing itself, it may
be said that the company is proving its
acreage to be of tic higli-class order.
On the Native Copper claim, average
samples of the eight foot vein have run
as high as 1882 per cent, while on the
Fizzle ore running up to 1876 per ton
i'll gold, silver and copper has been en-
countered. The signs surely point to
the Native Copper as a big producer at
an early date.
1t is not proposed to suspend opera
tons here on account of the condition of
the money market, as the company has
ample funds to prosecute development.
Already winter quarters have been es-
tablished and the program outlined is
one of great activity.

Mining for gold with splendid results
IN the very heart of the Yerihgton dis
.rict is the diversion offered by the Ma
i've Copper company.
The writer was shown this week some of
the ore that hasbeer encountered. Itis a
White quartz showing the yellow metal
2lastered upon it. One of the specimens
is as fine piece of picture ore as one
would want to see.
The discovery of gold on the estate of
the Native Copper company is not new
one, although the facts have just come
TO light. Some months ago J. H.
Rhodes, stockholder in the company,
found a. piece of float which, upon being
broken open, showed gold in the native
state. Mr.. Rhodes is man of means
and has seen MANY years of mining ex.
perience Instead of returning to his
home at Fl Campo, he went to work to
locate the ledge and succeeded.
On the surface the Vein appeared as a
stringer Now, at depth of 10 feet,
the lead is IL feet wide, through
which runs seam of the rich stuff II
is only fair to say that the vein is much
broken up, the gold occurring in pock-
cts. However, the belief is expressed
that at further depth, when the solid
formation is reached, the ledge will
prove strong and we'll defined.
Thus it would appear that compan,

STRIKES NATIVE COPPER
AT a Depth of $50 Feet The !.
Metal in its Free State Conn
ing in With the Chalcocite

And now the Question arises. is tllere
anything new under the ground ii, the
Nevada Douglass Development is prov
ing that anght but good can come ont Of
that great property. .. ..s,- 49,:
The latest sensation to occupy the at
tention oil. everyone Interested in the
Nevada Douglas is the finding OF native
copper in the drift from tue 5SO-foot
level, where few weeks since an inn
niensc body of chalcocite ore made it's
appearance running as high as 50, per
cent in the rel metal. The native cop
per at this writing is associated with the
chaicocite. AS progress is made the
former is appearing in greater quantities.
Said a man connected with the prop
erty: II believe that the Nevada Doug--
las will eventually rank with the great
est copper mines in the world His
opinion is we'll taken. With improve.
rient in the future in proportion with
the past there is every reason to believe
that the Douglas will produce It's 'nlill-+s
ions in copper. ssi ri fs:l' Hss..
That the company itself is alive TO the,
situation, is evidenced. by~the fact that it
is prosecuting development at rapid
pace. Shipments of copper continue to
go forth from the property despite the I
condition of the market.
We can produce copper proftably at
the present price, is the statement of
General Manager W. G. Orem. And
they are doing it.
| All the drifts from the 400-foot level
down. in the Ludwig, are being thor
oughly developed In each large bodies
of ore are exposed carrying values of a
shipping grade.
On the Nevada Douglas proper tile
men are working in ore in the east cross
cut from the main tunnel. Here sui
phides in large quantities are being en-
countered assaying on an. average 4 IL
per cent copper.
The rumor will not down that the
company is intending the early con-
struction of a smelter to handle its out
put on the ground. While those closely
related to the company's affairs are non
communicative concerning the subject,
one might be allowed tile guess that
such is their intention Judging by their
actions.
Enough ore is now in sight i'll the
various workings of the Ludwig to more
than offset the purchase price of that
! great mine. When this estate was added
to the acreage of the Nevada Douglas
company, it meant an outlay of between
| $500, 600 and $500, 600 Considering the
fact that no stopping has 6een done, the
showing is indeed remarkable. The ore
in sight to the amount of the purchase
price is shown in the workings resultant
from development. fts
The Ludwig has paid its own way from
the very start. enough ore being extract
ed in the ordinary course of opening up
the property to paw the expenses Incl
dent to proving up mine.
All the surface and underground work
ings are now being electrically lighted.
Other improvements of like nature are
under way, which, when completed, will
add materially to the plant.

From the to1v-
path to the pres
ideney is q long
ascent.

wT~ O the poor boy looking for an in
spring example the career of
James A. Garfield furnishes an
ideal and an incentive. From
the towpath to the presidency Is long
ascent. He had no outward helps
In making that climb, but rose only
through the strength Of his own char
acter. Not only did he rise himself, but
he formulated gospel Of success and
gave it to the world He was not with
out the qualities that appeal to the in
tellect, but he was supreme in the
qualities that appeal to the heart. Gen
erous and warm hearted, yet cool and
unimpassioned, strong without harsh
ness, self reliant without boorishness,
righteous without phariseeism, reli-
gious without priggishness, witty with
out wounding others, possessing good
fellowship without letting himself down
to things ignoble or unworthy, Garfield
was great in his goodness. While pos
sessing much will power, he was not
rigid and by some was considered
weak. He did not overawe others and
force his way by sheer ability, but
rather drew men to him and won his
points by persuasive arts. His nature,
while rugged, was not rough, but was
mellowed by a great kindness. In his
presence men felt him to be greater
than the things he did or said. There
was IN his very atmosphere that indie
Enable something which inspires con-
f3danca and asteem Without being daZ-
fling or supereminent in any line he
did all things well. An inspiring teach
er and minister, brave and resource
full soldier, winning and eloquent
speaker, a broad minded and efficient
legislator, he was far above mediocrity
In every field. Had he remained a sol
der to the end of the war he might
have been one of our greatest generals;
had his life been spared he might have
been one Of our most illustrious presi-
dents. Concerning these things we can
only speculate. But it was his great
ness as a man that was felt by the
world rather than his especial accom-
plishments in any field OF endeavor.
Here is one saying Of Garfield's that
Is typical of the man:
Poverty is uncomfortable, as I can
testify, but nine times out OF ten the
best thing that can happen to young
man is to be tossed overheard and
compelled to sink or swim for himself.
In all my Acquaintance never knew q
man to drown who was worth the saw

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Ulysses 5. Grant.
BY J. n. EDGE RTON.
He did not
knoav hosv to
quit.

T UP to the time of the civil war
Ulysses S. Grant was practical
~ ly unknown. Then fame came
upon him suddenly and over
whelmingly. 1t was as though all of
the earlier part Of his life had been a
waiting time, a preparation. Once in
the glare, he was there to stay. No
more escape for him. He must play
his part henceforth with the eyes Of
the world upon him. 1t Is questionable
If Grant enjoyed this publicity, but,
whatever his personal feelings, he had
the logged determination to go through
with whatever was thrown in his way
The remark Of his wife that, "NIr
Grant is an obstinate man." showed a
prominant quality that made for the
generals success. This trait was
shown even in his boyhood. The story
Is often told Of his feat Of loading logs
unaided and alone. Usually several
men did this work, and the duty Of the
slender lad was to haul the logs to
the sawmill. One day he found the
men absent. Instead Of going home, as
LAOSL DUyS "uulA Lave uOuG, ne deter
mined to do the loading himself, SO in
vented contrivance which by the aid
Of one Of the horses enabled him to
perform the task. This act made him
famous in the neighborhood.
Bulldog tenaclty, sheer hanging on
whatever befell, persistence that never
let go-this seemed to be the FREEDOM
inant characteristic Of Grant. He did
not know how to quit. Once started
on task, he seemed to have a phys
ical Inability Of stopping until the
thing was accomplished. If he could
not smash his antagonist, he would
wear him out. He never planned for
retreat. Perhaps he did not know how
to retreat. His plan seemed to be to
hit first and keep hitting, to drive on
and on till he won, to fight and still
fight until either his antagonist or him
self was incapacitated for farther con-
fiict. II propose to fight it out on this
line If it takes all summer" he wired
to Washington, and the succeeding
campaign showed that he meant all
and little more than he said.
