WILL START BRICK KILN

S. H. Wagner, the brickmaker, re-
turned from Reno this week, where he
made all arrangements to have an equip
ment sent to Yerington for the establish
ment of brick yard Mr.. Wagner has
secured the contract to furnish the Lyon
County Bank people with brick for their
new bank building, and will begin the
manufacture of the brick just as soon as
his molds and other equipment arrives,
1t will take kiln of about 12O, 900 brick
for this job alone. Last week Messrs.
Wilson aud Stickney, of the bank, went
to Reno on business connected with the
construction of the new building, and
while there they visited the different
brick yards in the vicinity of that town.
1t is unnecessary to say that they did
not see any brick being made i'll Reno
that were equal to those that were turned
out in Yerington by Mr. Wagner i'll the
test kiln made and burned some weeks
ago. Experts in Reno have pronounced
the Yerington brick superior to any
brick that they have yet seen made IN
the State When it becomes generally
known that such fine brick can be made
close to our town It will not be long be-
fore a number of brick buildings and
cottages will adorn the city of Yerington.

SCHMIDT WINS SUIT

The suit of F. Sommer Schmidt, for
the Butte and Yerington Copper Com
pany, against James Timon, to quiet
title to mining ground in the Yerington
district, occupied the attention of the
District Court in Dayton on the 7th
inst. Some time ago Mr. Schmidt pur-
chased for his company group of cop
per claims, undeveloped adjoining the
Malachite and Spragg ground The
purchase was made from Messrs. Thomp-
son, Cocke1 and Lawson. Among the
group of claims was one, the Rossland,
which James Tinon laid claim to by pre-
vious location. The case was taken to
the court for adjustment and it was
proven to the satisfaction of Judge Ian
gan that Mr.. Timon had not done the
work on the claim, but that the parties
who Mr. Schmidt had purchased. of had
done the work The title to the ground
is now settled for good, it is believed,
but it has put the rightful owner to some
trouble and expense to maintain it, and
in the meantime the development work
which was lined up to be done on the
ground has not been prosecuted. The
property is considered to be quite valu-
able. 1t lies III close proximity to other
valuable ground, and in all likelihood
will now be developed to prove its worth.

WHAT HAS Been ACCOMPLISHED !?

talk about. The city needs many inn
provements, the main one of which
should be the grading and sidewalking
of Main street. This work should have
been the first to be undertaken after in
corporation so that by the time the
wet winter weather comes there would
have been dry, hard sidewalks to walk
upon and the road would not be sea of
mud, as it has been for years past at all
times during wet and stormy weather.
People coming into the town from the
outside find it pleasantly situated town
with nice trees and plenty of foliage,
but they see no indication of town inn
provement and the excuses made of
why improvements are not being made
do not sound good to them, and in very
many cases after coming here with the
intention of locating and building the
stranger takes his departure without
having invested dollar after sizing up
the situation.
These are the things that the TIMES
objects to, not in spirit of antagonism,
nor from any personal motives whatever,
but from the standpoint that the Council
is not doing its best to advance the in
terests of the city.
1t would be poor paper, indeed,
which would, from the fear of the loss
of public patronage, or any other cause,
fail or refuse to censure any public Off
Ger who is derelict in his duty to the
citv's welfare either from the fact of in
competency or the desire to serve GER
tain interests that do not appear for the
best interests of the city.

IRON KING LOOKING WELL

There is every indication that the
Butte and Yerington Copper Co., with
I. Sommer Schmidt as manager, is going
to make copper mine of merit out Of
the Iron King group of claims which
adioin the Yerington Copper Companv's
ground on the eastern edge of the valley
This company is sinking double com
partment shaft on 20-foot ledge which
crops prominently on the Iron King
ground. To facilitate this work yaso-
line hoist has been installed, and the
shaft is now down los feet. At depth
of $50 feet sulphide ore has been en-
countered which contains splendid values
in the red metal The ledge is strong
and regular for it's entire depth and
crosscuts at different levels show it to
hold its full width all the way down.
Ten men are now employed on the
property and a bunk house and boarding
house has been completed which will
accommodate twenty men. The work
of sinking will be continued for some
distance yet, probably down to the
water level, where it is confidently ex-
pected that large bodies of good sui
phide ore will be encountered. The
work being done on this property is
another indication that all of the good
things in the great Yerington copper
district do not lie on the west side of
the valley, and that it is not necessary
for ground to lie close up against the
big properties to possess merit

1t is now almost four months since the
city of Yerington was incorporated and
nobody can see any change for the better
in the Improvement of the city. 1t was
confidently expected by the progressive
portion of the people here that with in
corporation would come the commence
ment of the building of modern city.
To say that the progressive citizen has
been sadly disappointed is putting it
mildly. The majority of them are thor
oughly disgusted and disheartened.
The City Council has as yet made no
move towards the improvement of a
single street in the city, but instead 1t
has spent what money has been allotted
to it by the county from licenses to EN-
ploy lot of policemen to keep order in
a peaceable town. The town is now
being given the name of a tough camp
on the outside because of the numerous
arrests being made, while these arrests
are simply of miners and others who
while spending their money here MAY
commit some trivial breach of the peace
Before the town was Incorporated there
was no trouble and no occasion for arrest
except in rare cases. Has the place be-
come worse since incorporation? We
think not, but the officers have got to
make showing, and consequently the
slightest breach of peace is followed by
an arrest. Since the city was incorpo-
rated there have been four robberles
committed and no apprehension has been
made in either case.
But this is not what we started out 10

STROSNIDER VS. TURNER

The case of l. A. Strosnider VS.. c. c.
Turner, in contest for the seat of County
Commissioner of Lyon county, came up
in the District Court at Dayton last week
Friday before Judge Langan. This is
the case wherein the returns of Churchill
precinct, inthis county, were thrown out
at the last regular election on the tech
nical grounds that they were not regu-
larly returned to the county seat after
the election BY throwing out these re-
turns Turner would win the seat by a
small margin, while, if the votes were
counted Strosnider would be entitled to
the seat. The Supreme Court recently
decided that the votes should all be
counted and on this showing new trial
has been asked for by Strosnider.
