THE YERINGTON BOOM.

In the past two months the town of
Yerington has more than doubled its
population, the business of the post
Office has increased over seven hun
dred per cent, and all lines of bust
ness have enjoyed proportionate
growth. While there is a great ex.
element on at present, it is safe to
predict that with the opening Of
spring, the boom will break far be.
yond the present bounds. The most
striking feature of this camp is the
fact that with all the excitement ex.
listing there and all the temptations,
to play on the credulity of strangers,
the wild cat mine is thing as yet
unknown in the entire district. Every
company incorporated so far has a
showing suffcient to justify the ex.
penditure of considerable money for
development work, and the investor
in Yerington mines, while expected
to take the usual chances, has at
least good assurance against the loss
of his money and an excellent chance
for very handsome prof.
