DISASTROUS FLOODS

running for nearly week.
On the Truckee River the food was
also the greatest in history and consider
able damage was done all along the line
from Truckee to Glendale. Several
dams were blown out of the river to pre-
vent other damage. The new concrete
bridge at Reno stood the test and was
not damaged. The flood backed the
water nearly up to the city of Sparks

The food in the Walker River basin
was not so disastrous, though the Walk

of being as high as it was last Summer.
AT that date the water reached the high

Walker the Bridgeport meadows were
entirely under water and considerable
damage was done. No bridges have gone
out on this river except couple across
sloughs, but the Yerington bridge had

The first mail to arrive in Yerington
since last Sunday, came i'll Yesterday.
This delay was caused by the severe
storms of the first part of the week and
the high water in the Carson River do
ing much damage to the Nevada and
California track at Churchill Station.
The damage done by the Carson River
flood has been something enormous, and
it was the highest water known III the
history of the country. Every bridge
on the Carson River from the headwa-
ters to the old Buckland bridge at
Churchill has gone out, including the
new v. & r. bridge in Carson Valley
and the railroad bridge of the S. P. at
Dayton, likewise the wagon bridge at
that place and the Rock Point dam.
These latter two bridges were carried
out by the old dredge scow at Dayton
coming down the river and lodging
against the railroad bridge. The iron
bridge of the S. p. Co. at Churchill
stood the food, but the water at that
point backed up and covered several

A deal took place in the district this week
which will be of great importance to this entire
section 1t the sale of the Minnesota Copper
group, owned by Otto Taubert and sons, of
Cripple Creek, to Key Pittman and Edgar Wallace,
after the property had been examined by these
gentlemen and DR.. Bass, mining man of note.
The deal turned through the Yerington In

as is well known, is the attorney for the Schwab
people in this State and has transacted all their
business in the southern camps of Tonopah, Gold
field Bullfrog, Rhyolite and Greenwater and has
done stroke of business for his people in
the Yerington district.
The terms of the sale are $4,000 cash, which

He came into the district to look at an iron de-

GOLD PRODUCER THIS DISTRICT
Splendid Showing on Trojan Property Five
Miles South Of Yerington

While the Yerington district is becoming fa-
nous copper producing district, there has not
much been said about the possibilities of it becom-
ing gold producer of considerable importance.
For years past it has been known that gold exist
ed in the range of mountains which skirts the
western edge of Mason Valley, and a few pros
poets have been found which have looked suffic-
done. This work was done years ago by those
who had little means, and if prospect did not
turn into mine it was abandoned for want
of means to continue the work.
One of these old prospects is the Crabb mine
FIVE miles south of Yerington, near Black
Point In early days quite little work was done
on this ground by the original locator, S. Y.
Crabb, who built small cabin on his claim and
started tunnel on promising vein of gold ore.
This tunnel into the hill for distance of
prove, but day in the Spring of 1897 Mr..
Crabb, who was an old gentleman, was found
dead in his cabin. When his estate was settled
up, which was small affair it was not considered
worth while to include his mining property as one
of the assets, and the prospect has lain idle since
Some weeks ago parties who were pros
pecting i'll the western range, across the old
tunnel on the Crabb mine. They put in few
shots and dislodged wonderfully rich ore

face to face with the conclusion that
the city is confronted with the ne
cessity of rigid economy in expendl-
lures. They take it for granted that
there must be an era of retrench-

court house scheme will probably be
abandoned temporarily, as we'll as

of Bridge Commissioner Stevenson
for a new East river bridge will also
go by the board, and should the city
find itself compelled TO build it's own

the Lexington avenue line will be
built, and the seventh and eight ave-
nue. lines would cost approximately
S4O,0O0,000. According TO a report
