Rapid Progrcss--Showing IN
Outside Shaft.

After an absence OF several weeks.
during which time he has been pretty
well over the Yerington, New, copper
district, A. Il. Kimball returned to the
city this morning more convinced than
ever that this western Nevada region
viii be the location of several of the
biggest copper mines in the west IL not
In the world. Conditions in the camp
are very prosperous at the present
time and no district IN Nevada, MI.
Kimball declared to a representative OF
the News" today, presents scene of
greater activity The owners Of thd
various mines are pushing development
work and that they have unbounded
faith IN the future is evidenced by the
judicious manner in which IL is bein.
conducted. Much heavy mining ma
chinery is being brought into the camp
and in a number of places IL Is IN pro-
cess OF installation.
At the Nevada Douglas mine, which
Mr. Kimban regards as being one OF
the geatest copper propositions that he
has ever seem practically all the mine
equipment ordered some time ago is in
stalled. The complessO has been set
near the mouth of the main tunnel and
Is ready to start. but must await the
Ing brought into the camp from Como
a distance of about 30 miles, The poles
and wires have been strung across
Smith valley and the latest information
from the front Is 10 the effect that the
line will soon be ready for transporta-
tlon of electrical energy.
Late developments at the Nevada
Douglas mine have been of a highly
satisfactory character, Mr.. kimball re-
ports, and the showing made recently
in what is known as the outside shaft
are OF character which cannot help
but convince the most slseptical that
the property has a very bright future.
This shaft has been sunk in ore all the
way from The surface; Is now down
about 100 feet and a recent sampling
of the four sides and bottom gave re-
turns of better Titan 3 per cent cop
per. Some very high grade ore has
been encountered on the way down and
specimen samples have assayed up 10
40 per cent copper.
The tunnel is in over 500 feet and as
soon as power is available for the OPP
Grafton of machine drills IL will be
pushed on into the mountain at a rapid
pace. The company is putting up sew
eral new buildings and has Just cora-
pleted the erection of new assay and
Office building and several cottages,
The excavations for a now boarding
house are being made and material is
coming in daily for several other
structures.
The Bluestone company. which is
controlled by Capt DeLamar is pre-
pairing to build q new milling plant for
the treatment OF it's low grade ores;
however, It is believed the actual con-
struction viii not begin until the rail-
road is built into the camp from a point
near Wahuska.
The Mason Valley mine is looking
fine. This company has also erected
several permanent mine buildings. At
the Western Nevada mine, operated
under the direction of the engineers in
the employ of Samuel Newhouse, de-
N-elopment work IS progressing with
satisfactory results.
