RAILROAD FOR THIS DISTRICT
The Southern Pacific Has Completed Survey From wabuka
To Antelope Valley

Engineer Gray and his corps returned
from the Antelope Valley country last
week, after running survey from Wa
buska to Topaz. The line of the pro-
posed road leaves the main line at Wa
buska, runs through the center of the
valley to Mcleod 5 Hill, then skirts the
western edge of the valley to the canyon
through which the West Walker River
flows, which it follows up to Smith Val
ley, and from there on to Antelope Val
ley. At a point below Mcleod Hill a
spur will be run off to the west and
climb the hill to the site of the Bluestone
Company's proposed concentrating and
reduction plant. M. ]. Heller, of the
Bluestone, is here at present and is
making arrangements to erect big
plant for his company as soon as the
road is in, which will probably be not
later than next July. The grade up
to the Bluestone will come close to 4
per cent. one, but the road will only be
used for company traffic After getting
into Smith Valley branch will be built
to the Nevada Douglas, Ludwig and
Buckskin. Surveys have been made for
all these lines, and Mr.. Gray is now
making location survey, and grading

RECEIVED CERTIFICATE

1. A. Strosnider, who has been con-
testing the Commissionership seat since
the first of the year, received this week
a certificate of election from the County
Clerk, directed by Judge Langan in his
recent decision in the case. Mr.. Stros-
nider was found to have been elected by
one vote, by the counting of the Church
ill precinct ballots, which the Board, OF
which Mr.. Turner was a member, re-
fused to count on technicality in re-
turning the same. Mr.. Strosnider ex-
poets to take his seat next Monday and
will probably try to make somebody pay
the expense he has been put to to secure
it.

will begin sometime next month.
The S. P. company has come to the
conclusion that it cannot handle the
freight into and out of this district in any
other way than by building these
branches. and is going to hurry the
work along now as rapidlysas possible
This district has needed road for the
past year very badly, and when it is
completed it ought to facilitate trans
portation business greatly. There is no
doubt that it will be one of the best pay
ing little pieces of road in the whole
Southern Pacific system
1t was hoped that the road through
the valley would come little closer to
the city of Yerington, but the people of
this place seem to have made no effort
to induce the company to build in here,
while those who are interested in the
mining business have used their influ-
ence to have the road follow the survey
already outlined. 1t is possible that
there is yet time to present our case to
the S. p. head officials and induce them
to come closer to Yerington with the
line, but it is not likely that the people
of this place will take any action in the
matter

of the boring. The first hole has been
started on the Red Star claim, and is be-
ing bored at some little distance from
the ledge on the surface SO as to hit the
ledge at what is presumed will be water
level, and also where it is supposed sui
phides will be encountered. It is be-
lieved that no greater depth than ESQ
feet will demonstrate this fact, and pos
sibly lesser depth. A hole can be run
down this distance in few days, and
the company intends to sink a number
of holes to demonstrate beyond any
doubt whether or not the bodies of sui
phide ores do exist on it's possessions.
This is the first time machine of this
character has been used in this district,
and the result of its operation will be
a1ixiously awaited while the progress
will be just as anxiously watched.

MASON VALLEY LOOKING FINE

The Mason Valley Copper Co. S prop
erty is improving in value with each
days work. In the big tunnel, $50 feet
from the portal, there is 42-foot ledge
of high grade sulphide ore. The face of
the tunnel is still in ore and drifts are
being run both ways on the ledge. The
work of advancing the tunnel has been
suspended until such time as the electric
power line comes in so that machine
drills can be operated, as the ground is
quite hard

The Empire Nevada Copper Company,
of which J. w. Gelder is manager, and
whose possessions lie on the fiat on the
west side of the river from Yerington,
has inaugurated new system of pros
pecting mining ground in this district
This week the Empire Company installed
a core drill, which will be used to sink
numerous holes on its ground to demon
strate where the ore bodies lie. This
drill cuts out core three inches in diam
ter and has capacity of sinking through
hard ground at the rate of 80 or 40 feet
per day. 1t is compact contrivance on
wheels and is operated by steam, the
fuel used being coal. The machine will
be under the management of Mr.. ]. F.
Easton a practical man, who arrived
here from Ohio this week to take charge

TESTING DOUGLAS ORES

The Nevada Douglas Copper Company
has been conducting a series of metal
lugrical tests under the direction of f.
P. Jennings, of Salt Lake, for the pur-
pose of determining the methods best
adapted for the treatment of the ores of
the mines of that corporation in this dis
trict. Mr.. Jennings has gone into the
subject exhaustively and figures that the
bulk of the ores, being self -fuxing, can
best be treated by ordinary blast furnace
practice. He recommends that the oxi-
died surface ores be leached and has
determined that the sulphuric acid used
in the process can be made from the sui
phur gases on the ground at small COST
In this way very large tonnage of
otherwise worthless material can be
made TO pay good profit.

FRANCHISE IS GRANTED
Work On New Railroad Will
Begin In Short Time.

The bill granting a franchise to the
Nevada Southern and Walker Lake rail
road has been signed by Governor Sparks
and the pen which the chief executive
used to enscribe his name on the act,
presented to Major R. A. Falkenberg,
promoter of the line.
The road will run through some
thickly populated farming and ranching
districts and rich mining camps. 1t will
extend from Orc to Hawthorne, Thorne
and to the two promising camps of
Dutch Cottonwood and Dry
Creek, and thence to Schurz and to Yer
ington. The road means much to the
old town of Hawthorne which was cut
off" by the Southern Pacific several
years ago, the railroad station being
moved to Thorne.
The proposed line will connect with
the S. P. at Thorne and at Schurz and
also with the railroad now being con-
structed from Bodie to Tonopah, this
latter connection being made south of
Oro City
The subscription list for the charter
members is oversubscribed according to
Major Falkenberg who is backing the
enterprise. He says that the road has
a strong financial backing and will not
lack for funds at any TIME. Bonds will
be issued to cover the costs of construc-
ton. Surveyors will begin work within
few days and the work rushed as
rapidly as possible. The proposed route
taps some of the richest and most prom
ising districts of the State and there is
small question but that it will be fnan-
cial success from the start.

lished at the Yerington Drug Co.'S store

CHARGE OF ASSAULT

The Justice Court was occupied for
several days this week by jury trial in
the case of w. l.. Constantine on a
charge of assault. Last night the jury
failed to agree and was discharged. 1t
did not seem clear that any damage had
been done to any person to speak of and
there will be no further prosecution of
the case.
