by fire a few months ago, but shipments

Twelve Per Cent Copper Sui

BUILDINGS NOW GOING UP
MACHINERY ORDERED AND
HEADED FOR MINE.
BUILDINGS NOW GOING UP

What is believed to be an entirely new
vein has just been opened in the prop
critics of the Mason Valley Mines com
pany at Yerington The news reached
Director W. Mont Ferry in a letter from
the superintendent yesterday. The strike
was made in short crOss-cut from a drift
that had been advanced quite distance
from the main tunnel level and at an ap-
pTOXimate depth beneath the surface Of
$50 feet. When the letter was written this
vein showed three feet of sulphide copper
ore. the average assay value of which
was lis per cent copper. making il
high-grade shipping ore. Behind that was
several feet Of ore the grade of which
was, though good, not as high as the three
feet mentioned. The discovery is counted
as most important one. as the develop
ment of this shoot will place the company
in a position to ship ore if 1T is deemed
advisable.
MI Ferry states that drifting is now
progressing both ways i'm the forty-two-
foot ledge Of 10 per cent copper ore
that was previously opened up ina a cross
cut from the main tunnel and it is hold
ing its own with gratifying PERSISTENCE
The new road to the mine has been com
pleted and lumber for the building is now
being delivered. The foundations for the
different structures are practically COM
Ileted and everything will be shortly in
readiness for the installation Of the big
compressor plant and other machinery
and equipment that has been ordered.
