PEERLESS STEAM LAUNDRY

The Peerless Steam Laundry, an in
corporated company which expects to
soon do business in Yerington, pur-
chased lots from the Yerington Realty
Syndicate this week on California street
upon which to construct its plant. The
company is composed of local people,
with w. T. Iucott as President and c.
H. Miller as Secretary and Treasurer,
and is capitalized for Sl2 500---250 shares
at $50 per share. The company desires
to dispose of about 100 shares of the
stock to secure money for the construc-
ton of plant, and has an advertise
ment in this issue to that effect. A
laundry should be a dividend-p paying
business in Yerington from now on. A
great deal of business is being sent to
Reno, which should be done at home
concern, and the Chinese laundry here
is unable to handle all the business it is
getting. We believe the purchase of
laundry stock would be good invest
ment. Mr. Lucott has friends who are
familiar with the conduction of this busi-
ness and they are interested in the COM
pany and will manage the business when
it is started.

s. P. WILL Be
DOUBLE TRACKED

1t is stated in railroad circles at Sparks
that the Southern Pacific Company in
tends to begin work on the Sierra Neva-
da tunnel within the next month and to
rush the work to completion. In the
meantime, in order to handle the trafhc
over the mountains more rapidly and IN
better shape, the Southern Pacific Com
pany is intending to double its line from
Reno to Roseville on the west side OF
the mountains. 1t is stated that this
line will be surveyed Immediately and
that as soon as the survey is made the
work will be started. If this double
track is built the company will avoid all
switching and sidetracking between Keno
and the station on the west side OF the
Sierras and will be able to handle many
more trains. 1t will also reduce the
danger of collisions and accidents in the
mountains and will greatly improve the
train service in many ways.

AWFUL STORY
0E MANY GRIMES

Harry Orchard is telling a story in
Boise City, Idaho, that is shocking the
nerves of every American citizen who
reads it.
He confesses that he set the death trap
in the Vindicator mine at Cripple Creek,
that blew out the lives of Superintendent
Mccormick and Foreman Beck He
confessed because he had not been paid
for the attempt he previously made to
destroy the property and lives of the
owners.
He confessed that he stalked Governor
Peabody, of Colorado, for days, waiting
for a chance to kill him.
He confessed that he shot and killed
Detective Gregory, of Denver.
He confessed that he and Steve Adams
blew up the depot at Independence, Col
orado, killing fourteen men.
He confessed that he blew up Fred
Bradley in his home in San Francisco
because he failed to poison him.
He confessed that he killed Governor
Steuenberg with bomb, and duplicates
Meyer and Haywood in the crime.
He is still telling his story to the
Meyer and Haywood jury and there is
no telling what other crimes he has COM
mitted
He has acknowledged himself to be
the most cold -blooded murderer yet un-
hung, and his scNl is stepped in crime,
while his career has been one of brutal
crimes for years past.
| Is it all true?
Evidently it is, for the prosecuting at
torneys in the case would never let him
tell such a story if they did not corrob
crate in evidence that it was substanti
ally true

POWER LINE
PROGRESSING

The electric power and light line being
built into this district by the Truckee
River General Electric Co. is now rap
idly assuming shape. Nearly all the
poles for the line have been strung along
the route and the line is building from
each end. Poles have been erected for
distance of about four miles from this
end and the line is also making fair
headway from the other end. 1t Is
hardly possible, however, that the COM
pany will have the line completed in the
time calculated 18th of this month
---but the juice will probably be in here
between the first and fifteenth of next
month. Quite number of mining COM
panies are eagerly awaiting the compile
ton of the line SO that they can install
power plants, and nearly all of the
houses in town have been wired for
lights.

TEAMINC ACCIDENT

An accident occurred yesterday forenoon
in Mason Pass whereby Jim Welsh lost
valuable animal. Ed Gray, who was
coming down the canyon from the Lud-
wig mine with load of ore, in some
unaccountable way tangled his team Of
ten animals up and got four OF them
into 20-foot shaft just opposite the
Inter Valley mines. The shaft is an old
one, dug some years ago in search Of
water and it is some little distance off
the road -Four of the animals went into
the hole. Jack Buffers team came along
shortly after the accident and the men
from the Inter Valley went to the assist
ance of the driver and succeeded in
getting all the animals out alive except
one of the leaders, which had its back
broken. The animal was valuable one
1t is hard to imagine how the team could
have gotten so far off of the road unless
the driver was asleep on the wagon.

YERINCTON COPPER
MOUNTAIN co.

J. H. Turner, General Manager of the
Yerington Copper Mountain Company,
who has been here for week or ten
days, left for Salt Lake Thursday night.
He has let contract to sink 100-foot
working shaft on the property. If the
electric power line reaches the camp by
the time this contract is finished, an
electric hoist will be installed and work
of development crowded more rapidly.
The Copper Mountain ground lies to
the east of Yerington about three miles,
between the Yerington Copper and the
Butte Yerington ground. The company
has eight claims in this group, and a
nice copper vein runs through six of the
claims. In a 10-foot hole, doing hold
ing work, nice ledge is uncovered,
showing carbonate and sulpllide ore car
rying l6 per cent. copper. The conf
pany is composed of A. Anhauer, Presl-
dent; w. H. 1ibballs, e-President; ].
II. Turner, Secretary and Treasurer;
Directors, c. ID. Rooklidge, Isaac Spa
rey and H. F. Allen, all of Salt Lake,

NEVADA-D0UCLAS|
STeat Showings Of Copper Being Made at Every
Point Of Development Work.

The great Nevada Douglas mine is
growing larger and more valuable with
each days development work. The
mine is really one of the wonders of the
copper world, and when truthful and
conservative estimates are made regard
ing the property its extent, ore in
sight, values, etc. the story sounds like
fairy tale. But the ore is there all
right; so are the values, and it will not
be many months before there will be
things doing in the way of shipments,
and construction of reduction plant
that will prove to the world that the
Nevada Douglas is one of the greatest
copper mines in the world While the
company has not placed valuation on

its holdings, others have made estimates
of its value and placed the figure at
$40, 900, 900. These are big figures, but
there is little reason to doubt them after
once visiting the property.
At the present time development work
is being pushed as rapidly as conditions
will allow. 1t will be pushed more rap
idly when power reaches the property

being sunk close to the big working
tunnel on the west side of the hill, and

EMPIRE NEVADA
MAKING GOOD

Very encouraging reports come from
the management of the Empire Nevada
Copper Co. which some weeks ago start
ed drill machine on its ground on the
Aat across the river from Yerington.
The company had some little trouble in
getting things in running order but is
now making good headway and sinking
on its sixth hole. Last week another
drill machine was put on. 1t is a Key
stone No. 2, and is doing even better
work than the first machine
At a depth of 1l6 feet in the second
hole bored the formation was reached
and sulphide ore encountered. What its
value is cannot be learned, but evidently
it is satisfactory to the company as the
work of sinking prospect holes is being
pushed as rapidly as the two drills can
do it.
The company owns quite number of
claims on the fiat, and if their efforts
prove successful in securing body of
ore at reasonable depth by means of
these drills, there will be big things
doing There is every indication that
they will secure good values and good
bodies, but it may be at greater depth
than calculated upon at first The strik-
ing of the formation at deptl, of ll6
feet indicates that the dip is quite pre-
cipitous and the wash deep. This will
in no way interfere with their plans,
however, and the work of boring will be
continued until the ground has been
thoroughly prospected.

new HOTEL PRAC-
TICALLY ASSURED

A telegram from Mr.. Barnett, who is
at Sacramento, indicates that there is
something doing regarding the construc-
ton of the new hotel spoken of in a
recent issue of the TIMES as conten-
plated for the southeast corner of Main
street and Broadway The parties who
will become interested in this hotel are
expected to arrive here tomorrow, in
company with Mr.. Barnett It is more
than likely that the parties will conclude
to adopt the plan of the larger building,
which will contain stores on the ground
floor besides the hotel Office, bar, read
ing room, billiard room, barber shop,
etc, and SO or 80 rooms on the second
floor for guests. If this plan is carried
out the hotel will be one of the finest in
the State, with all modern conveniences,
nice suites of rooms, baths, toilets, hot
and cold water, steam heat, etc. Such
an hostelry would certainly be paying
business in this camp. There is hardly
a night passes that the hotels now here
do not have to turn guests away. Even
the tent lodging houses, of which there
are several, are full nearly all the time.
Salt Lake people coming in here report
that more people would come if they
were assured of first-class accommoda

OPENING At MORNINGSTAR

Next Monday night there will De q
grand opening at Morningstar, the new
camp on the other side of the hill from
Yerington. There will be free dance
and free supper, given by Mr. Leo
Rothschild and w. H. Hearst, who are
building in the town. Everybody IS IN
vited to attend and good time is as
sured everybody. The new camp is
growing some and those who are there
want others to come and see what the
advantages are for locating.

fine MARBLE

w. E. Lindsey, the prosI ector tor
marble, paid this camp visit this week
and had with him some samples OF
marble from his quarry in Burbank Can
Won. north of Smith Valley. The samp-
les are of a mottled marble of wonderful
beauty. 1t is far superior i'll every way
to any Vermont marble ever quarried'
and ought to be valuable. 1t takes
splendid polish and will stand for CEN
turies in all kinds of weather. There Is
a large deposit of this marble and Mr.
Lindsey has given the Davis. Bros, OF
this place, bond on the property tor
S,O 600 for one year, and the first pay
,,,a,t has been made. Mr.. Lindsey is
also to have a royalty of rs per cent on
al, sales of marble taken from the quarry.
II will not be great while before rail-
road will pass within about four miles OF
this quarry, and then the marble can De

Donate with some sulphides.
The big tunnel is now in 500 feet and
has crosscut numerous veins of ore car
rying good values in the red metal.
The company is making good headway
now in getting up buildings. and three
more carloads of lumber are now at the
Nevada and California switch ready to
be hauled to the mine by the big traction
engine. This makes ten carloads OF
lumber that have been received recently.
Three bunk houses have been completed
and five more are under course of con-
struction. A transformer house has also
been completed and an office, boarding
house, barn, ETC., will be built as rapid.

CON,
LOOKING WELL

Development work on the Yerington
Consolidated ground is showing up what
may prove to be one of the biggest and
best mines in the district. This COM
panys ground lies between the Mason
Valley and Bluestone properties and
cansists of the old Copper King and
Copper Deposit groups, containing some
thing like ESQ acres. On the Copper
King ground tunnel is being run along
the contact and is now in distance of
about rs feet. The face of this tunnel
shows four feet of carbonate and sui
phide ore, which carries about Is per
cent. copper On the Copper Deposit
ground shaft is down about 40 feet, the
last 10 feet of which are in sulplide ore
of good grade---ore that will run from
3 to 5 per cent in copper. There is
every indication for fine deposit of ore
in this ground Altogether about 20
men are employed by the Yerington
Con- Company, and this company,
among others in the district, will prob
ably put in an electric hoist and COM
pressor to more rapidly open up the
ground as soon as power reaches the
district. The owners of this property
are more than pleased with the showings
that are being made. They are nearly
all residents of Salt Lake and practical
copper men.

ly as possible. The machinery for use
in developing the ground more rapidly
AN electric hoist and an air compressor
has about been placed and will be
covered with a commodious building.
The pipe line from the fiat, west and
south of the property, which is to fur
nish water for all purposes, is progress
ing. The ditch has been dug and the
pipe distributed along the line, and to-
day the laying and connecting of pipe
begins.
Altogether the company is going to
have quite little settlement of its own
on the western slope of the range, and
when reduction plant or smelter is con-
structed there will be town of several
hundred inhabitants.

DAYTON BRIDGE FINISHED

The new bridge at Dayton has been
completed and accepted by the Board of
Commissioners and the final payment
made to the builder, Emmet Boyle. The
bridge has cost little less than So, 900,
including the building of pile driver,
which the county thinks it can dispose
of for $500 or $500 About 500 worth
of piles are left over from the job, also,
which when disposed of will make the
cost of the bridge about So, 400.

MUSICAL SOUNDS.
Thinking Them as One Does Letters
and Words Is Not Difficult.

To acquire the habit of thinking mu-
steal sounds. as one does letters and
words, is not difficult task. In fact,
to one who undertakes it seriously
there is no difficulty greater than that
of learning to read literature The
usual method of tuition, which teaches
the pupil to regard this, that or the
other note as identical with certain
positions on his instrument, is not one
best calculated to make him an eff
ficient and intelligent reader. He new
er attains to independence in musical
thought, but must ever refer to his
instrument before he can form a fairly
accurate conception of the musical
story that lies silent on the page be-
fore him. u
AS child may learn to read the al
phabet, to form letters into words and
thence into sentences and SO on, just
so may the music student learn to
combine and use the notes before him.
Strange as it may appear, the study
of reading music may be carried on
mentally. For instance, while l think
and all the paraphernalia of the staff
and notation appear as the melody
passes away into time. 1 realize the
clef, time, and key signatures, bar
lines, rhythmic divisions, and in mo-
ment 1 transfer the thought to paper.
People in general are accustomed to
the transference of their ordinary
thoughts to papers and by constant
practice the labor of transmittal from
brain to paper is minimized so greatly
as to appear almost automatic in per-
Torrance. Whatever of laborious eff
fort appear in the process of writing
music is the result of want of prac-
tice and not that this form of writing
is really or intrinsically more difficult
than writing in words, or demands
any greater mental or manual effort.
The mind is here master and directs
the operations of the hand; and both
gain facility from the practice which
comes of thinking music.-Musician,
