There is general feeling In Eureka

MASON VALLEY Is GREAT.
Salt Lakers' Yerington Mine Showing
Bonanza Proportions.

Great as are the Bluestone and Douglas
copper properties Of this district, The

them all. Tho tunnel being run on this
ground and which cut ore at distance
of $40 feet from the portal. is now In ore

has passed through fifty feet OF II. The
ore is "a sulphide and chalcopyrlte. and
fourteen or fifteen feet OF II Will run as
high as 20 per cent in the red metal,
while It will all average over per cent.
The tunnel for "A distance of fifty feet
looks like a tremendous jewel box. The
face OF the tunnel is still in this ore,
and there is no telling how wide the vein
may be. as the point under the surface
groupings where the ore Is supposed TO
be best has not yet been reached.
The owners OF this property are George

that the stock OF this company is being

MINERAL OUTPUT OF
STATES DURING YEAR
Several Surprises for Those
Who Regard Western States
In the Lead.

A new feature OF the 1905 number OF
the volume. Mineral Resources OF the
United States" brought out annually by
the United States geological survey, is
a series of tables. compiled by William
States OF the mineral products OF the
country.
These products so listed, include both
certain raw materials and also certain
derivative materials in their first market
able condition, which do not appear In
the table of mineral products Of the
United States as a whole, For exam
pie. both pig iron and iron ores are in
cluded as important products entering
into the commerce OF certain States. and
In Ike manner are included both pig
lead and lead paints: both clay products
and raw clay: both coal and it's immedi-
ate derivatives. coke, gas coke. illunina-
ting gas ammonium sulphate. and coal
tar: hauNitr and aluminium; and also
alum and aluminium sulphate These de-
rivatives and raw materials are here
given. regardless Of the consequent du~
plication OF values, i'm response 70 con-
stant demand for this information thus
arranged by States.
Study of these tables will afford most
people more than one surprise. For eN-
ample, We think Of Colorado and Cali
fornia our most representative min
eyal States and vet the actual value Of
Illinois mineral products was far great
er than that of either Colorado or Call
fornia last year: more than double, In
fact. the value Of California's output, for
although Illinois has neither silver nor
gold i, produces great quantities OF ce-
ment clay, coal. pig iron. stone and zinc.
which arc worth much silver and gold In
the worlds markets.
The sums total OF these state outputs
the follows.
