w. l.. Fuller, mining man from the
southern country, dropped into Yering-
ton this week from the Smith Valley
country and reports strike of consid-
cradle importance in that section. The
find was made some weeks ago by Ira
Fallon and Joe Warren, but little atten-
ton was paid to it at the time Later
on the ore was examined by mining men
and some assays made, which began to
make the boys sit up. 1t was found that
samples of the ore gave returns of over
8 per cent. copper, some gold and some
silver. The strike was made in the
range of hills east of Wellington about
six miles, and about three miles from
the Fallon ranch Mr. Fuller reports
that there is stretch of mineral ground
in the range about two-and-a-half or
three miles in width by four miles in
length which looks exceedingly well.
Ledges from 3 to S feet in width cut this
ground and the formation is lime and
porphyry contact with an iron Gaping.

THE union BLUE
LOOKING we'll

The little work so far done on the
Union Blue group of claims, owned by
Lennard, Goodale, Koerner and Hof, is
showing the property to be very prom
ising one. This property consists of IL
claims, located in Mickey Pass, between
the Nevada Queen and Tonopah- Yering-
ton properties, and so far little else than
location work has been done on it. This
work has developed some very nice ore
on the surface ore that will run as high
as 43 per cent in the red metal, while
no assay has yet been made that gives
return of less than 8 per cent. new
hole, just sunk on the ground, is also
showing excellent ore, and twelve or
fifteen tons of high grade ore has been
extracted which would pay we'll to ship.
Next week couple of leases will be let
on this ground, one to party of Den
yer people, who are to organize COM
pany, and another to Mallert and Cooley,
of Buckskin.

Reduce Copper Ores

The plans and blue prints are ont for
big one-thousand-ton electromagnetic

There will be complete machine shop

STRIKE near wellington
Copper Gold and Silver Found Good Values in Ground
Travelled Over for Ages

There is scope of country there about
miles wide by IL miles long which has
never been prospected. 1t has been
used for sheep range for many years
past and it was only by chance that it
was discovered that mineral in paving
quantity existed there. Some 40 or SO
claims have already been located in the
new district, and as soon as it is known
to the outside world there will doubtless
be rush into that section. The new
find is south and west of Yerington and
is, no doubt, a continuation of the great
copper belt which runs through the
range of hills west of town. Thus it is
that every week brings forth something
to corroborate the statement made
months ago that the Yerington district
is going to be the greatest copper camp
on earth. 1t may take a few years to
demonstrate this fact, but it will be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of Ely,
Greenwater Nina and all districts which
think they have copper showing.

IN fact it will be as complete plant as
can be built. A spur line of the railroad
to extend up the valley will reach the
plant from point somewhere north of
town. The installation of this plant will
mean the employment of large number
of men, and when it is completed it will
take small army of men to run the
mine and the plant. The plant is only
the process has been made, and the re-
suits from these tests have been perfectly
satisfactory, over 80 per cent. of the
value in the ore being saved by it. 1t

STRIKE BODY OF OXIDE ORE
Mason Valley Cuts Big Body Of Black Oxide While WORKING
in Contact Drift.

Everything is going to prove that
the Mason Valley Copper Company's
ground in this district is going to turn
into one of the big properties of the
State. 1t has heretofore been stated in
our columns that the company had. in
its Spragg ground, 42-foot ledge of sui
phide ore that will average as good as s
per cent. in copper, and it has also been
related that every foot of work being
done is making the property thousands
of dollars more valuable. Last SATURDAY.
strike was made in the contact drift
which shows up body of very high
grade black oxides. This drift starts off
from the big tunnel at distance of 44O
feet from the portal, and runs along the
contact for a distance of some 40 feet,

COMPANY HUSTLING

F. O. Broili, of the Truckee River
General Electric Co., was i'll town this
week and reports that the company now
has its poles on the ground and on the
way in sufficient quantity to complete
the line from Como to this place. The
work of putting in the poles is being
carried on with all expedition, and it is
expected that the line will be completed
and the juice turned ON within 80 days
from date, or possibly sooner, if no un-
forseen circumstance arises to cause fur
ther delay With the power line in
much activity will be displayed in the
development of copper properties in this
district, as many companies are waiting
for the power to install electric hoists,
air compressors, etc, to facilitate the
work of opening up their properties and
getting out shipping ore.

A Remodetinu Hint,

When buying new goods for an old
dress, considerable care must be exer-
cised to select something that will
make the old goods look better instead
of worse.
1t is better to have the new ma
terial of a different texture For in
stance, new velvet will look better
with old silk; black, that has been
worn some time will look better If
made over with some other color
II 1t Ia desirable to have the dress
III black, buy the same color black
and change the texture. Black chif-
fon makes worn cloth ifeless. while
other materials will give it a fresh
look. - ~.
The bodice Innings are often perfect
II good while outside is worn out,
needing, perhaps just cleaning
about neck and waist, and some new
homes and castings.
They can easily be utilized with
little work for the foundations OF the
more or less fancy waists for house
