Monday Night, July 1, 1907,
purpose
Council.

F. A. Budd was an arrival from Cali
fornia the first of the week to look over
mining property in which he is interest
ed in the East Walker section
Considerable news matter is crowded
out this week to make room for big
batch of ordinances promulgated by the
City Council. Probably they will be
more interesting than the news left out.
w. c. Orem, one of the principal
owners of the Nevada Douglas mine,
was an arrival from Salt Lake Thursday
and proceeded up to the mine next day.
He will probably remain here until the
electric power is installed at the mine.
The ball game last Sunday resulted in
the defeat of the Guggenheimer team by

to Buckskin today to try conclusions
with the Buckskin nine.
S. J. Swetman, the stone mason, be-
gan LAYING the foundation for the new
Lyon County Bank on Thursday of this
week. 1t will be two-story structure
built of stone, and the bank people are
in hopes of having it completed in ninety
days.
There is still much trouble in getting
lumber into the camp, and as a conse-
auence those who contemplate building
are placed at great disadvantage The
cement block business and brick yard
ought to be paying institutions in the
camp.
Law O'Loane and Alex Requa are pre-
pairing to establish an ice plant and bot
tlinp works at Wabuska, from which
point they expect to ship Wunder Beer
and all kinds of soft drinks. Mr..
O'Loane was an arrival in Yerington on
this business Wednesday
The TIMES received it's 4-horse motor
last week and as soon as the power line
gets into camp we will be hitched on to
our big press and ready to do business
in a manner which will save a lot OF
time and allow of much more work be-
ing turned out, and in shorter time
Fourteen gasoline hoists and a couple
of pumping plants have been ordered by
that many different mining companies of
Buckskin and they will all be in opera
ton before the Summer is over. Some
of them are already in operation and a
couple more will be doing duty next
week.
Don't forget that next Thursday will
be the Fourth of July We are going to
have celebration in the old camp that
will be hummer so it will not be neces-
sary for you to go away from home to
spend YOUR money. The next best place
to 90 for good time ON the Fourth is
Carson City. The Eagles are going to
fly high in the capital city on that day.

BIG STRIKE IN WHEELER nine.

A phenominally rich strike of gold ore
was made last week in the Wheeler
mine, in the East Walker district some
twelve miles east of the Cliarlebois ranch
and within mile and half of the Res
ervation line. Considerable work has
been done on this property in the past
year, since it was taken in hand by c.
d. Rooklidge, ]. F.. Caine and other Salt
Lake people, and there is now every evi-
dence that the property is goingto prove
a mine, not only of much merit, but of
vast wealth.
There are two nice ledges on the prop
erty running parallel with each other.
One of these lodges has been followed
with tunnel into the hill for distance
of 500 feet and all of the ore is of a mill
ing quality, while some of it is very high
grade. A tunnel has also been run in
on the other ledge which parallels this
one to distance of ESQ feet, and at this
point chute of ore was encountered
which ran up into the thousands, The
ledge is about three feet wide and is
clear and we'll defined.
In the long tunnel, in a distance of
500 feet, crosscut was started for the
other ledge and when about 27 feet had

new FIND AT MOUNTAIN VIEW

On the Red Grow Group of six claims
in the Mountain View mining district,
IA miles east OF this city, the greatest
gold strike of this region has been re-
Gently made The property is owned by
Attorney N. w. Willis of this place in
conjunction with his nephew, F. G. Will
lis. of Mountain View, and others.
A representative of this paper lately
visited the ground and was shown the
unusual sight of ledge more than 100
feet wide, opened in a dozen places
across its trend, at the foot of a steep
hill it traverses, and giving paintings of
free gold, running from IS to $50 per
ton. This gigantic ledge is opened in a
number of places along its trend up the
hill for distance of about 900 feet, and
pans well along, until the top is reached,
where careful test of the rock taken
from holes dug every two feet across the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1907-06-29

been run the ledge was struck and three
feet of ore that will run better than $500
to the ton has been opened up Some
of this ore will assay better than $500
per ton. About SO tons of this ore
which will run between the two figures
has been extracted and is on the dump.
The formation in the mine seems to
be changing from a granite to por-
phyry and the ledges are coming closer
together as they are followed into the
hill. While they are about SO feet apart
at their portals, in distance of 500 feet
they are separated by only 27 feet of
barren ground. Iii all probability they
will close up within the next SO or rs
feet and the ledge will become larger
and richer one
c. d. Rooklidge, President of the
company, and Clarence Rooklidge, who
is experimenting the work at the mine
were arrivals at the mine from Salt Lake
last Sunday They now have four men
at work on the property and the little
5-stamp mill being erected is nearing
completion. Keep your eye on the
Wheeler mine, it is going to be pro-
ducer in very short time and will prove
to be very valuable piece of property.

RESERVOIR ABANDONED
Great Project in Antelope Val
ley Ruined by Government.

From what seems to be an absolute
reliable source we learn that further
work on the Alkali Lake reservoir in
Antelope Valley is to be stopped, and
the projected Improvements given up,
says the Gardnerville Courier. T. b.
Rickev is the chief owner and promoter
of the scheme to make an immense res
ervoir of the lake, and to use the waters
so stored to irrigate thousands of acres
of land in both Smith and Mason Val
leys. He had installed valuable machin-
cry, including pumping plant, had also
made considerable progress in digging a
tunnel through the hills separating the
lake from the lands to be irrigated He
also was the owner of all the lands, with
the exception of three forties III the bed
of the lake which the government
owned. The government claiming this a
natural reservoir site served an injunc-
ton on Mr.. Hickey, thus blocking the
further prosecution of the work Real
ling the long delay that would natur-
ally result before any progress could be
made, if at all, Mr.. Hickey has had his
big teams there this week hauling away
the machinery and materials indicating
the complete abandonment of the plan
as commenced.

GET IN THE DIRECTORY

The TIMES is constantly receiving in
quiries about different mines and COM
panies i'll this district. Some of them
we have never heard of and some of
them probably do not exist except on
paper. The mining companies which
are III the camp to do legitimate mining
can for small sum per month. have
notice placed in the mining direcaory in
the TIMES, and whenever an inquiry is
made REGARDING that certain company
copy of the paper would be all that is
necessary to send to the inquirer 1t is
just possible that a few of the companies
that are getting into the camp are doing
so on the strength of the reputation
made by the big ones. We have dis
trict that is truly meritorious here and
it will not do to have it spoilt by the
wildcat boomers.

TURNER WINS

The Supreme Court has decided that
C. c. Turner is entitled to the Office OF
County Commissioner of this county in
stead of I. A. Strosnider, who received
the most votes and was declared elected
by Judge Langan, of the District Court
of this county. The Supreme Court
threw the election returns from Churchill
precinct out because they were sent IN
by mail instead of special messenger
The counting of the Churchill returns
would have elected Strosnider by seven
or eight votes. Under this rulingit will,
hereafter, be easy to fix an election most
any old way by simply throwing out a
precinct or two where the vote Will alter
the result and thwart the will OF the
people on technicalit1es.

Governor Sparks paid this camp a
visit the first of the week. He was out
here mainly for the purpose of looking
after some cattle he has feeding in the
valley The Governor says he notices
many changes in the town every time he
visits it, and is not backward in declar-
ing that Yerington is destined to be one
of the principal cities in the State in the
next few years.
Dr. Nichters team made a swift run
last Saturday morning on the street west
of Main The animals were hitched to
Docs little wagon and they ran square
through a tent that was i'll their course.
The tent was about ruined, being carried
along on the wagon pole for some dis
tance. Fortunately there was no one in
the tent and the horses were not injured
