THE MCCONNELL MINE

This is one of the oldest mines in the
great Yerington copper camp. For years
it held up the honor of the camp all by
its lonesome and kept its flag at the top
mast. That was before the railroad, and
the wagon haul was long, but it shipped
a good many thousand tons of very rich
carbonates, practically from the surface.
When they couldn't throw the ore out OF
the pit with shovel they quit it-wouldn't
put up for hoist. Although that sur
face ore was very rich the wagon haul
and freight were very expensive and the
profit very small-just about wages for
all hands Copper was way down in the

-Yerington is the greatest copper
camp in Nevada.
-Yerington is on the Walker river,
in Lyon county, Nevada.
1t is IL miles from Wabuska, the
dinner station on the railroad from Reno
to Goldfeld.
1t is about 100 miles directly south
of Reno and IS miles east of the Califor-
MIA line.
The altitude of the town is 4, 800
feet above sea level-about the lowest
altitude in the northern half of Nevada.
-The Walker river is the largest
stream in the State-comes cool and
fresh and sparkling from the everlasting
SHOWS of the Sierras and is, alive with
trout.
1t irrigates the broad and long
valley about Yerington and makes it the
finest fruit and farm country in all
Nevada.
1t can furnish all the electric
power that can ever be needed by the
great mines of the Yerington district.
The Yerington copper mines are
the greatest in Nevada and there is good
reason to believe that one of them at
least (the Nevada Douglas) will prove
the greatest copper mine in all the
world.
But the Yerington country is rich
also in gold, and present developments
indicate that it is likely to prove very
great in gold that it will perhaps rival
Goldfeld and Bullfrog.
The altitude of the mines above
Yerington ranges from 200 feet to $500.
-Yerington is the only camp in the
United States east of California where
the honest and intelligent American
miner can hit drill with one hand and
pick peaches from the bough with the
other-if his arms are long enough.
But the peach orchards are down
in the Yerington valley, 8 miles from
the great copper mines.
-Yerington extends the glad hand
to all honest miners and prospectors.
Marble heart to all brands of fim-
TANNERS
-Yerington is camp where the
miners will build homes for themselves
and have their own gardens and or
chards, because it is beautiful and
healthful place to live.
