YERIHGTON MAY
GET A SHELTER
Butte and New York Capital
Said to Have Taken Up
Proposition.

New York City capital is in the field
with a proposition TO erect custom smell
ter in the Yerington district for the treat
ment of the product from the various
mines, says the Yerington Times.
Through the efforts of Sam Davis
chairman Of the state publicity. commits
sion, the attention of the Harlemites was
called to the opportunities for smelling
operations here They. in turn, inquired
into the proposition and stand ready to
back the enterprise with their experience
Some of the parties interested are men
well known in the copper industry. among
whom might be mentioned Jack Wilcoxeu
a millionaire operator of Butte formerly
of Virginia City, New.
l.. c. d. Eakins of II Battery Place
New York City, is the man who is at the
head of the scheme to erect a custom
smelter here. 1t is he who is now i'm com
municatior with Mr.. Davis to ascertain
certain facts concerning the adVisability
Of investing capital here in q smelter ca
pable Of treating 200 tons of copper per
day. Mr.. Eakins' most recent letter IS
dated Nov. 70, 1907 1t is now in the hands
of the editor of the Times Its contents
show that the writer is not only willing
but eager to become identified with the
development Of the YeringtOn district.
In his communication. Mr. EaiIins asks
many pertinent questions which will be
answered forthwith. They in themselves
cover every phase of smelling operations
and show the writer's close acquaintance
with the subject. In concluding his let
ter to Mr. Davis. Eallins says:
Jack WilCOXen. from Virginia City,
who is an uncle of mine, has been fon
here and he tells me that the Yerington
copper ore has about the same makeup
as that from the Butte district. If this
be true. the smelter of which ! write
will smelt the ore to blister copper, with
out roasting without coke or fluX at a
cost of 8 or less per ton; a plant capa-
bic of smelling 2G0 tons a day could be
erected at total cost Of less than $50

lowest level about GO feet below. The
shaft timbers were inteTmingled with he
rocks and twenty sets of timbers were
carried away by the force OF the cave

cave occurred, about 100 feet wide ana
900 feet long
The four miners were working at the
bottom of the shaft. which is over LOO
feet deep. when the accident occurred
and the pump man was stationed on the
level above. 1t is reported this afternoon

JESSE KNIGHTS RAILROAD
TO HAUL IRON ORE

The first ore To be handled by the new
Eureka Hill railroad will be the iron
ore from the Tintic Iron company mine
near Silver City, says the Eureka Re
porter
The ore from the mine has always been
hauled by team to the Rio Grande and
San Pedro railroads, but now that the
line of the new road passes over the com
pany's ground arrangements have been
made which viii do away with the haul
Dy team A loading station will be fixed
up at the mine so that the ore can be
dumped upon the cars of the new mar
row gauge road. The new road will trans
fer the ore to the other lines at Sill
yer City and thus cut down the eN-
pense necessary to put the ore upon the
market.
j. NJ. TavlOr of Silver City. who LOOKS
after the details in connection with The
shipment of the ore for the Tntic Iron
company. says that the demand for iron
ore Is increasing and that the contract
which the company has with the smclt-
ers calls for 100 tons daily.

NEVADh'S PRODUCTION OF
PRECIOUS METALS IN 1905

As producer of the precious metals
Nevada occupies high place among the
states and territories of the Union. IN
value Of gold product the state IS out
ranked only by Colorado. Alaska and
California. while its silver output gives Il
fifth place. Colorado. Montana, Utah and
Idaho taking precedence
In 1906. according to statistics collected
by the United States geological survey
from the producing mining compaDies,
Nevada mines yielded slo41O.1W in gold,
an increase of $50 over 1895. The un-
expectedly heavy output of the Goldfield
mines was S1g25.l4. an increase of over
S50O0000 over the preceding year The
Touopah district. in Nye county. produced

considerable output of siliceOus ore from
several districts near or north of Tusca-
rora The ComstOcK output was dimin-
ished to almost $500 900. The product is
obtained almost wholly from SillceOuS
ores of high average grade. The placers
contribute a value of only about $4,000.
An increase in the, gold product of Ne
vada for 1907 seems probable.
The silver output was 6.HG6ll ounces.
an increase Of -zSS, so ounces, which is
pretty evenly distributed over all the
counties the distribution corresponding to
the general increase in mining activity.
Only the COmstock mines in Storey coun-
ty and White Pine county show a de
cline. The FairyieW district changed the
insignificant output of Churchill county
Including Douglass to nearly 100000
ounces. The Tonopah district is still the
principal producer. with 5.697.928 ounces.
OF the total output 6,500 900 ounces We're
derived from siliceOus ores. The remain
der came chiefly from lead ores.

To Fish From a Motor Car SIeiqh.


Three years ago Captain Halgren of
Milwaukee conceived the idea OF
sleigh run by an engine and propelled
by spiked wheel which caught in the
Ice. He built several sleighs, but did
not succeed in getting one that oper-
ated satisfactorily. This season he
took his sleigh to a gas engine works
and had two horsepower gasoline en-
glne built, with pair of friction
clutches to operate on the same plan
as an automobile. with a spiked wheel
which was fitted so that it would rise
or fall when going over rough ice or
snow. The sleigh Is a common fisher
mans sleigh, says the Milwaukee Sem
finel, with the engine attachment. but
1t has been run at speed ranging
from ten to fifteen miles an hour with
perfect ease. The sleigh will he used
for fishing at Peshtigo Harbor, and the
captain expects to he able to make the
distance between Milwaukee and Pesh-
tigo Harbor in about one-fourth of the
time taken by the old sail sleighs un-
der the best of conditions.
