STORY OF ROSS CHARGES

The report that Engineer Ross is con-
cerned in charges said to be contained
in a report to the Secretary Of the In
terror by Special Agent Greene, regard
ing alleged irregularities in the conduct
of reclamation work in Idaho, is not
taken with any credence here by Mr..
Ross friends.
They claim that Mr.. Ross was in this

the report was said to Mr. Ross. They

husband better than she did. The is all
of that. But look a the dictionary and
see what a model means. It is defined

repartee. Said he: 1T is the saving

YERINGTON
DEVOID OF
WINNERS

7. E. Edwards, one of the best known
and most successful mining men i'll Ne
vada, was i'll Yerington this week ar
ranging for resumption of operations on
the South Bluestone group of claims, i'll
which he is heavily interested
The South Bluestone ground consists
of ten claims lying near the famous De
Lamar property. Work will consist in
driving deep working shaft to such a
depth as the money represented in the
holding work of the ten claims will
accomplish.
Mr.. Edwards is quite favorably inn
pressed with the South Bluestone. This
was his fist visit to the property and he
expressed himself as more than pleased
with what he saw. The we'll known
gentleman was one of the pioneers of
Tonopah, where he made a fortune.
Later, he was one of the locators of the
great Montgomery -Shoshone, disposing
of his interest therein for a big sum.
Speaking of Yerington, he said;
Little did realize that Yerington is
just what it is -one of the greatest min
eral sections / have ever seen. doubt
very much if there is more prosperous
camp in the state, or one backed by such
wide scope of country, rich both in
mineral and agriculture. There is every
outward appearance to warrant the con-
clusion that this camp viii develop into
one of the largest propositions in the
west.
Il am favorably impressed with the
appearance of the town and the activity
to be seen on all sides, but what strikes
me most forcibly is the absence of grumb-
ling. Not all operator here or busl-
ness man is complaining; each has the
greatest confidence, which is justly
theirs. Yes, do like Yerington; it is a
great camp"

CITY COUNCIL
IN IMPORTANT
SESSION MEET

The city council held an important
meeting Monday evening last at which
much business of importance was trans
acted
Among other things, the Stickney
franchise was passed to print. After
weeks publication it becomes operative,
which means much indeed, to the fu-
ture welfare of this city. According to
the terms of the franchise work must be
started on the project within thirty days.
1t will not require any great length of
time to have the system i'll full opera
ton granting that the material will be
received with reasonable dispatch.
MIR. Stickney and his associates are as
vitally interested in the welfare of YER
ington as any one, and to that end will
proceed to supply the city of Yefington
with water at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Another matter of importance acted
upon by the council was the instruction
given to the city physician and the chief
of police to see that tile ordinance relat-
ing to the public health be rigidly en-
forced This is step i'll the right di-
rection. There is absolutely no excuse
for allowing drainage from kitchens and
so forth to remain on the ground to fill
the air with foul odors and germs of dis
ease There are many ways to obviate
this nuisance and the council is to be
congratulated upon the stand it has
taken.
1t is probable that the city will be
bonded for the purposes of meeting the
expense necessitated in the erection OF
the city hall This matter will, of
course, be left for the property owners
to determine. III the line of progress
sivess and spiritedness they will
certainly approve of the bond issue.

The recent drop i'll the price of copper
has not discouraged the operators of
Yerington i'll the least for they are going
right ahead with their development work
with more energy than ever before
Nearly all of the big concerns operating
i'll the district are ready to receive cleo
trio power which means that much more
rapid progress will be made in the flu
ture than has been possible in the past.
The scarcity of labor experienced some
time ago is gradually clearing up, which
is probably due to the curtailment that
has been going on i'll other western
mining districts. Miners from Butte,
Bingham, Park City and Arizona camps
are coming i'll looking for work.
The Nevada Douglas company is equip
ping its Ludwig mine with air for the
the operation of machine drills, it hav-
ing been necessary to put i'll pipe line
about half mile long to bring it over
the hill from the compressor plant at
the mouth of the main tunnel. A pipe
line to supply the Ludwig with water
for domestic and other purposes, is also
being installed.
but in speaking of late develop
ments,' declared Mr. Orem, II have
really never seen anything develop like
the Nevada Douglas mine has during
the past month or two. 1t is simply

SOMETHING IS DOING
ON THE WESTERN
NEVADA

A message from the superintendent of
the Western Nevada Copper company's
properties at Yerington was received BY
Assistant General Manager Frank B..
Cook yesterday. 1t stated that things
were looking good in both the upper and
lower tunnel workings and in the winze
that is being sunk in ore from the upper
tunnel
1t is something altogether unusual
for Superintendent James Warden to re-
port conditions in the mine by wire, y
said Mr. Cook, and l hardly know
what to make of it. 1t is not many
days since l was there and, unless some
thing out of the ordinary has happened
it seems to me that the message would
not have been sent. AS | stated the
other day, there is quite change in the
formation through which the lower tun-
mel is now being pushed and it may be
that ore has been encountered, though
it was not expected that the second vein
would be cut right away when l left the
mine. We are drifting i'll the fssure
on. the lower tunnel level to tap the big
ore body that has been opened in the
upper tunnel workings, and to get un-
der the Wine that is going down in ore
from above, so that raising and sinking
NAV be carried on at the same time.
Something must have happened that the
dispatch does not explain and when |
return from Beaver county | expect a
letter that will explain matters. - Salt

PINE GROVE TAKING
ON NEW LEASE
OF LIFE

The Drummond Mines company is
still running the Wilson mill on good
ore and expect to put on full force of
men i'll the Wheeler mine i'll few days
getting out ore and developing the
property.
Owners of property in the Arrow Head
district are still working along con-
servative lines developing. We under
stand that Mr.. McEwen is down 100
feet and i'll good ore and is expecting a
whim in few days that will enable him
to go down to the 300-foot level this
winter.
Messrs. Gregory and Ball, lessees OF
the Vim. Wilson property adjoining the
Wilson mine are getting out ore running
from $50 to Sl0335 per ton. They ex-
pect to continue development work and
take out ore through the winter.
We understand that our much es-
teemed postmistress, Miss Jessie Wilson,
is soon to resign her sway over our mail
All will be sorry to hear OF this, as Miss
Jessie has been kind and considerate to
all and thorough competent post
mistress.
Mr. f. p. Jaquette, superintendent
and manager of the Drummond mines,
has been quite i'll recently, but is able to
be around again and attend to his
business.
Messrs. Murphy and Chishem were
visitors to our camp Sunday last, and as
they are experienced mining men, we
hope they will cast their lot with us.

The east drift from the main tunnel
