PURCHASING MORE SUPPLIES

Q. II. Some, general manager of the
Malachite, departed Thursday last for
Reno to purchase some parts for the
electrical equipment at the mine. AS
soon as they have been procured and
put in place, the. Malachite will witness
the Inauguration of the most consistent
campaign of development in the history
of the mine.
The Malachite plant is one of the most
compact and up-to-date in the west con-
sidering its size. The mine itself is
showing up strong with development
and is even now one of the district s pre-
mier estates.
Mr.. Some is enthusiastic concerning
the possibilities of the Malachite. The
character of the ore is such that it is
almost free milling, while it occurs in
bodies of an extensive nature.

SHOWING is VERY GOOD

The development on the Reno Yering-
ton Copper property is of the most graf
flying nature. A large station was cut
out i'll the tunnel "a feet back from the
ore body, with a view of sinking a shaft
to cut the ore body at a greater depth.
superintendent Meyer Immediately let a
contract to Messrs Warmack and Bell to
sink the shaft SO feet deep. 1t was not
expected that ore would be encountered
Ill this shaft before it reached depth of
Is feet at least, but contrary to sxpecta-
ton ore was encountered at a depth of 3
feet, and at the present time the shaft
has reached depth of Is feet and is all
III ore. An assay from the richest look
ing stuff gave results of 40 S0-100 per
cent copper. 1t is expected that the
various ore bodies cut by the tunnel will
form one ore body at depth of so fee !.
A number of mining men and experts
have visited the property within the
last few days, and all are unanimous i'll
the opinion that the Reno Yerington is
the making of big ones /" The ore
is high grade and there is no reason why
the property should not be shipping
within short time.
A day and night shift are now sinking
the shaft as fast as it is possible, and
grand results may be, and Will doubt
lessly follow, as soon as it reaches the
main ore zone TO put it in the mildest
FORM the prospects of the Reno Yering-
ton are of the brightest, and there can
hardly be doubt about her being big
winner.

FIFTEEN Per CENT COPPER

We are still sinking the winze III
the ore body recently uncovered, " said
J. f McDermott to representative of
the Times when asked about operations
OH the Wabuska Copper Mines companys S
property.
I'VE certainly have showing which
bears every evidence of a mine, = con-
tinued the gentleman. The ore body
averages in the neighborhood of Is per
cent copper Its width we have not as
vet ascertained, but we do know it is at
least as wide as our shaft
The Wabuska company's ground was
the scene of a great strike, reported in
:hese columns last week. Operations
there have proven it to be one of the
important holdings of this section as
well as showing the continuity of the
vein system in this locality.

WILSON GOLD MINES
co. is RUSHING
WORK

The Wilson Gold Mines company is
preparing to inangurate an active cam
paign of development OH its holdings in
the Mountain View district
The property has been held for
number Of years by the different parties
of which the company is composed. At
the head of the organization is J. /.
Wilson, president of the Lyon County
Bank, while the secretary is George F.
Willis, assistant cashier of the same in
stitution. Both gentlemen are thorough
mining men in addition to being con-
servative financiers.
The fact that work on an extensive
scale is to be started on their holdings
will be received with much interest both
i'll Yerington and at Mountain View, as
it seems almost certain to result in the
opening up of one of the biggest gold
propositions III the state.
On the surface there are several strong
veins showing for a great distance,
which carry good values in the yellow
metal. Tile attention of the company
will be given to sinking shaft already
started on one of the claims of the group,
and what is popularity known as the
glory hole At the beginning of OPP
erations at this point assays were re-
ceived showing gold value of a few
dollars per ton. AS depth was attained,
the values increased until at the present
level, not much more than 20 feet, the
ledge matter averages in the neighbor-
hood of SIS per ton, while specimen
stuff assays up into the hundreds
This glory hole" lies between well
defined walls. The vein matter is loose,
powder having SO far been unnecessary
to accomplish results. 1t is the opinion
of the men interested that at further
depth the ledge will become solid and
view of the fact that the present charac-
ter of the ore shows teaching which
undoubtedly carried away much of the
gold,
The holdings have been inspected
from time to time by men high in min
ing. circles. They have expressed them
selves almost unanimously to the effect
that the estate bears all the ear marks
of making into gigantic proposition.
Mr.. Willis himself believes that an ore
shoot will be encountered within COM
paratively short time which will cause
the property to materially enhance in
value.
Operations will be watched with
deep interest. Many claims have been
made for that. section and its possi-
bilities as a gold producer. The Wilson
Gold Mines company is going to try and
prove its worth. One thing is certain
and that is the company is composed of
men who will put every dollar received
from the sale of stock into the ground

MASON VALLEY STRIKE
INCREASING IN
MAGNITUDE

The recent strike in the Mason Valley
Copper company's shaft is increasing in
magnitude. 1t now begins to look as
though the Mason Valley is really one
of the biggest propositions in this great
district The ore body SO far as known
is over 20 feet i'll width, and as vet but
one wall has been located. The ore ay
erages well as whole, while a goodly
portion of the vein is shipping stuff.
The finding of this wonderfully rich
shoot came to the operators in the ma
ture of a clear-cut surprise. 1t shows
again the uncertainty of mining
For some time operations OH the Ma
son Valley have consisted of driving a
tunnel. When the bore had reached a
distance in the hill of something over
400 feet the air became foul, making it
next to impossible for the miners to ac-
complish results. A Wine had been
sunk from an upper tunnel level. In
order to improve conditions in the lower
tunnel turn was made, it being pro-
posed to connect the latter with the
Wine to form an air connection. In
making the turn, the ore shoot was en-
countered which shows up so remark
ably strong.
Not enough work has been done on
this latest find to determine the exact
extent of the shoot However, at this
time it has been proven to be one of the
biggest things in the entire district.
Iii addition to sinking winze on the
ore body, the tunnel is being driven
ahead to tap the ore body for the en-
counterilR of which the tunnel was
started. This tunnel will strike the lead
at depth of over 200 feet perpendicu-
larly and over 800 feet on it's dip. As
soon as this ledge is broken into new
sensations may be looked for
Captain Tibbits of Salt Lake City
who is heavily interested in the Mason
Valley, inspected the property this week.
To Times representative he stated that
it is one of the best mines he has ever
seen.
Thus another sterling property has
been added to the list of high graders.
The find has stimulated activity in the
neighborhood which cannot fail to result
i'll the opening up of other estates to the
attention of the world

Work on Black Copper Group

II. S. Wells and James Necly arrived
in Yerington this Week from Carson
City for the purpose of doing their an
nual work OH the Black Copper group OF
claims.
The estate of the gentlemen consists
of eleven claims located in the heart OF
the Yerington district. The property
lies south of the famous Bluestone and
the owners believe the same vein that
characterizes the latter traverses their
holdings.
Both Mr. Wells and Mr.. Neeley have
been quite extensively engaged III min
ing i'll various parts of the state. They
believe Yerington is the daddy of 'em
all" As far as they are concerned
their holdings should bring fortune to
each The surface showing is very
favorable, while the properties i'll the
neighborhood have already proven the
permanency of the vein system iii the
immediate locality.

next Monday and it is understood that
the order will be made for an immediate
survey Of the boundary line between
Douglas and Lyon counties They will
also act on the tax list of Buckskin and
several other places that is now claimed

Oscar Warren, representing X. G.. Dun

Yerington this week. Mr.. Warren re-
ports the business interests of this city
in splentid shape. Commenting upon
the camp generally, he said:
From the very first / was I'M
pressed with the valley surrounding your
town. 1t is easy to realize why this par
ticular section is growing SO rapidly.
There is valley surrounding Yerington
that of itself is able to support substan-
tial city. On top of that your mining
interests, l am told, are showing up ex-
cellently. Surely, you have at least two
great industries to help you in the build
ing-up process. =
Mr.. Warren will probably remain in
town few days longer. He is taking
advantage of his trip here by acquainting
himself with the different properties.
During his travels he is often asked
about the different camps. He wishes
to be able to speak intelligently of Yer
ington.
