'Big 20" Holds It's Own

! ore from 3-foot vein struck in the Ber-
nard lease on the big 20'' mine at
Granite, Mountain View district, was
brought in and are now on exhibition at
| the Bank saloon The ore is a heavy
sulphide and comes from depth of 140
I feet below the surface. The ASSAY value
is S28 per ton in gold and contrary to
predictions of some experts. contains no
copper, but is a gold sulphide straight.
The assay samples were taken across the
entire three feet, which speaks volumes
for the property, when one remembers
that the surface at the same point only
showed values running to about ten dol
lars per ton.
Samples of decomposed sulphides car
rying about $40 per ton were brought in
| from the lower workings on the Mount
ain View mine Tuesday These samples
are an average of the ledge at a depth
| from the apex of about 200 feet, and at
a point where it shows a width of about
feet between walls. Mr. Banks, mer-
chant. of Granite also reports that him
self and associates are sacking on their
lease on the big A. ground. The grade
of the ore sacked is quite high, an aver
age sample showing S77.26 per ton.
The big 4" ground lies joining the
big 20" and Mountain View ground,
northeast of the Mountain View and
southwest OF the Big 20' and bids fair
to become great producer. 1t is the
property of Geo. Wilson, MCGOWAN,
Beatty, Beach and others. There are
four leases let on the property and all
working.
Phelps Osborne, of the Osborne Hill
gus lease on the Mountain View are
hauling a lot of ore to the new mill at
Schurz.
The Wilson Gold Mines company is
milling ore at Nordyke again and will
continue TO run the mill until the winter
freeze.
Clark Guild left for Dayton on the
auto yesterday.
The election stuff of last week caused
us to leave out much local matter. Part
OF It was too old to run this week, so
anything omitted was due to the rush of
election work.
Judson G. R. Smith has large assort-
ment of new goods in his store. Finest
OF new, up-to-date winter underwear,
and other things too numerous to men,
1t is a matter of pride to our people
that Mrs. Thad Hoppin was elected Re-
cording Secretary OF the federation Of
women's clubs of Nevada at Carson
City. The choice of Mrs. Hoppin to
this position shows that the federation
recognizes ability and merit. Another
thing to the live. Yerington citizen is
that 'Yerington" will appear on all the
printed matter and in all the press no.
tees of the federation as the home of its
recording secretary.
The recital given by Miss Patch, as
sisted by one of the best local musicians
last Monday night at Owl Hall. was we'll
attended, but not near the audience that
Miss Patch's talent merited. She was
pronounced by the Chicago press club
before whom she gave reading at their
annual banquet in Chicago last year to
be one of the foremost readers in that
city and one whose abilities would raise
her to the front rank of the profession,
and her audience here concurred i'll that
opinion. Miss Patch will go east with
her sister next week and will probably
return to Yerington in January, and
NAV favor us with another recital at that
time.
The large vote recorded for the high
school proposition in Yerington is largely
due to the efforts of some of the older
pupils of our schools among them being
the Misses Kathleen Hironymous, Ethel
Burroughs and Winnie Warren. The
girls worked hard all day on election
day with white silk badges upon which
was printed "For a County High
School, !" one of which they pinned to
the coat of practically every voter in this
precinct. They also cautioned the voters
not to overlook the question as it was
printed in the lower right hand corner
of the ticket. That such warning was
needed is evidenced by the fact that SO
of the ballots counted showed no vote
on the question. We are glad to recog-
nize their good work and only hope they
may be among the first graduates of the
Lyon County High School.
N. w. Willis of Yerington has been
looking after matters in Reno recently,
Willis is one of the old timers of the
southern country, and is more enthusi-
astic than ever over the outlook in and
around Yerington. He says that of the
27O, 900 acres open to irrigation in that
:d;ota d;etrict more than 100 900
