RENO-YERRINGTON
COPPER COMPANY

Prof. Carl Hese was an arrival on
Saturdays stage. This is the second
visit of the professor to the great
Yerington copper belt. When here
before he made an examination of
the Copper Center group of five
claims and Immediately thereafter
organized the Reno-Yerington Cop
per Company to take over the group.
Mr.. Hesse is largely interested, and
being an expert and mining engineer
of national reputation, it speaks in
no uncertain terms of the value of
the property. The corporation is or
ganized under the laws of Arizona
with 100000 shares of the par
value of 81 each, and worcestershire.
No stock is offered for sale, as there
Is a sufficiency of money in the treas
ury, it is thought, to tap the great
sulphide zone. The location of this
group Of claims is on the east slope
Of the copper range, three to four
miles from Yerington and about
three-fourths of a mile from the
Mickey Pass old road. The main vein
is thirty-five feet wide and crops
prominently for $500 feet, showing
good copper and gold values along
the vein. Besides, there are various
other veins on the claims that show
like values. Altogether the outlook
for this property is exceedingly
bright. The professor is spending
his time this week on the property,
locating the working shaft or tunnel
so as to tap the ore body at the most
likely point. Work will be com
menced at once and prosecuted with
out delay. 1t is only reasonable to
believe that this property, compris-
ing over 100 acres, one mile from
the great Bluestone mine, in the
same formation and in the great cop
per zone of the Yerington copper
belt, will add another great pro

Pittsburg Copper Company.

S. X. Koontz, John Donnelyn and
Claud Sacks, were visitors to the dis
trict last week to look over the prop
erty they have become interested in.
Mr.. Koontz is superintendent of the
G. o. ID. property in Goldfield and
Mr.. Donnelyn is treasurer of the
same company and a prominent
broker of Goldfield. Mr.. Sacks is a
representative of the Mining lnves-
tor, published at Colorado Springs.
The gentlemen are organizing a COM
pany to operate the old Forey group
of claims in the Mason Pass district,
and after an inspection of the prop
erty we're very we'll pleased with its
showing and indications. They will
soon begin a campaign of active de-
velopment work on the ground, and
the nature Of the work will prob
ably be to advance the tunnel, which
now follows the ledge in for a dis
lance of 1870 feet, to the contact
The ledge lies rather Hat, but in all
probability goes down when II strikes
the contact. The tunnel will have to
be advanced about 100 fet to strike
the contact. The ledge is from two
to four feet in width at present and
is showing up some goo dore, Two

Finally Porter said that he had express.

spend a few weeks in the Rocky noun

opinion that he was in need Of recupcra-

health and spirits and ready for any

the country would be greatly benefited II
Mr.. Roosevelt took a rest of month or
six weeks. Porter returned here today
from Washington where he saw the chief
magistrate. He said he told the president
he was nervous from overwork, but that
his opinion was resented.
