Market

| Many of the most expert mining en-
gineers of the country regard the prac
| tically unexplored section in what Il
known as the Yerington flats in Dougla:
| and Lyons counties, Nevada, as the
| greatest copper district In the world
greater than Butte, Mont, or any section
| of Arizona or Mexico. Recently the Nc
Connell property was sold for ,OOC
and the adjoining property, the Blue
Stone Del Mar, with $3,000,OO0 in copper
ore on the dump, was sold to F. A.
Heinze, the Montana wizard, for $10,O00,-
0OO Only a few hundred feet distant
from these valuable holdings, down "in
the wash" close to the river, Is located
the Yerington Associated Copper COM
panys group of claims, owned by Los
Angeles and other capitalists. There are
fourteen claims in the group, which lie
close to the new townsite, comprising 800
acres. The copper property is being de-
veloped in a scientific and economical
manner, with every assurance in reaching
rich sulphides at reasonable depth. All
indications are good and much enthu-
siasm exists among the owners of the
property. The branch of the Southern
Pacific road that is to tap the Gold
field section will be built along the south
line of the new townsite, which overlaps
the present town of Yerington. The sur
vey has been completed.

Golden Star Mining company includes six

on a large scale is in progress.

of the valuable mining prop

the Guggenheims are determined to gain
firm foothold carves out busy periods for
Los Angeles capitalists, who are conf
dent of soon developing some of the
greatest mines in the world.
