NORDYKE QUARTZ MILL
BEING REPAIRED

The old quartz mill at Nordyke has
been going through thorough course
of renovation this week, preparatory to
treating several hundred sacks of ore
from the Wilson Gold Mines property at
Mountain View This mill has been
idle for some number of years, and
many repairs are needed before it can
be put into running condition, and no
little amount of needed work on the
water power ditch, in the form of clean
ing it, remains to be accomplished. As
soon as these necessary repairs are made
several teams are to be put to work haul
ing the ore to the scene of the mill, and
it is understood that if this test
proves successful the mill will be en-
larged and that electric power will be in
stalled.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Regan OF Carson
and Sheriff ingalls, of Esmeralda county
spent several days this week looking
after their mining interests in this dis
trict. Both gentlemen are well pleased
with the prospects of their property and
are very optimistic over the future OF the
entire Yerington district. About all
Sheriff ingalls, could complain about this
district was due to the fact that it was
not in Esmeralda county.

Mountain View Is
Mecca for heasers

Opportunities to secure good leasing
ground at Mountain View still remain
open, barring the fact that four and Eve
leases are being let every week. The
fact that good ground has remained
opened until just recently was proven
this week by development work on the
Black Jack lease, owned by Jack Cock
well. F. o. Stickney and o. II. Some.
This lease, which was let last week. is
on the Inspiration ledge of the Wilson
Gold Mines property and is located a
few hundred yards above the town of
Mountain View.
Work on the property was just started
the latter part of last week and the
amount done at this writing consists of
only few feet of the surface dirt taken
away preparatory to sinking a shaft.
The surface was no more than uncovered
when ledge nine feet wide was en-
countered The sight4of ledge of such
width so near the surface increased Curl
osity and paintings were Immediately
taken from it. Numerous panning',
which were taken across the entire
ledge, showed large strings of gold in
the pan, which it is estimated will run
from $50 to 500 a ton. Samples have
been sent to be assayed and it is thought
that good returns will be the result. The
owners of the property could not be in
terviewed concerning the ground, but
the above facts CLEANED from disinter-
ested parties speak for the value of the
property. 1t is understood that strict
development work will be instituted
with the idea of determing the extent of
the ledge.

Silver City RevivIng

Silver City, which for number OF
years has been plugging along unnoticed
to the mining world, is again about to
receive recognition as one of Nevada's
gold producers. Although work on the
mines in that locality has continued
right along, and considerable wealth has
been produced, no great excitement pre-
vailed until this week when Capt. Davis
encountered ore on his property going
S2 per pound in gold. This property
has been producing good values for SOME
time, but this recent strike eclipses any
thing since the early days of the camps
Several other properties in the vicinity
off Silver City are showing good values,
and lively summer is anticipated for
the old town.

Petition Approved

petition was recently signed by a
number of sportsmen of Yerington and
presented to the board of county COM
missioners asking that county ordins
ance be passed protecting the recently
lanted Chinese pheasants until 1912.
The petition met the approval of the
commissioners, and an ordinance was
passed protecting the birds until the
specified time, and lat anyone caught
killing one of these birds would be sub
Jec' to the usual fine or imprisonment
sor killing game out of season.
1t was only through the staun chest
Efforts of few local sportsmen that tho s /.
pheasants were imported into the valley,
and 1t should behoove everyone to take
the duty upon himself and see that thes e
oris are unmolested in every way. In
all fourteen pair of these birds were lib
Grated throughout the valley, and if left
alone it will not be long before Mason
valley can boast of a number of these
pheasants, but on the contrary, If these
Dirds are to be hunted at present it will
not be long before they are exterminated.
90 you hunters, see to it that these
oirds are left unmolested until 1912.

Superintendent and mine manager
Samuel Arentz of the famous old Ludwig
mine was in Yerington the fore part of
the week from the property. Mr..
Arentz says that progress Is being made
in developing the mine and that with
every days work the mine proves greater,
the largest ore body in the history of the
mine being encounte ed this week on the
lower levels.
At present the incline from the 400
foot level of the main shaft is IS feet be-
low the 6S0-foot 'evel and the face is in
strong lead of bornite. The main
south drift on the $50 level is in soft
material. mpregnated with chalcocite,
which proves to be high-grade ore, while
the auxili ry drift on the same level is
in so feet west and is in limestone. In
both of these drifts a strong flow of cop
per water has been encountered, and the
entire amount of water pumped from the
nine to the surface is green with copper,
which coats a knife blade readily with
copper emulsion.
The 500-foot level continues along in
gossan material and shows up as well
as il did when started at the mouth OF
the incline. About $50 feet from the
incline OH the S00-foot level a Wine is

a Wise Idea

A deservedly popular lady of Yering-
ton, who is interested heavily in one of
the best leases in the Mountain View
district, says that when she makes her
money she intends starting hotel for
old maids and bachelors who desire
mates. None others need apply = Ga
match factory so to speak, number
of the local bachelors have already taken
up her proposition and rush of eastern
old maids is anticipated as soon as the
plan becomes known.

Police Court
Passes Sentence
On EviI-Doers

The police court was somewhat occu-
pied this week attending to the cases of
the wrong -doers of last week. As re-
suit of the proceedings two Indians,
Jasper Moses and Dick Mack, were fined
$40 piece for beiEg drunk and disor-
derly. Mack paid his fine, while Moses
thought he would sooner serve ten days
in the calaboose, case of financial em-
barrassment. Pat Madden, white man,
was fined $40 for disturbing the peace.
He, too, had been hit by the money
panic, and will serve out time.
In the case of the opium raid of last
week Chas. Wy, Chinese, was fined $50
for smoking opium. which amount he
promptly paid for his liberty, but the
Chinaman with the good old English
name, Leo Kingston, seemed to be
doomed to fate. Kingston, whose name
would not save him, was fined $50 or
$50 days in Jail for running an opium
joint. Out of pecuniary circumstances
he accepted the latter sentence.
Edward Harkin, who was up on a
charge of ransacking the house of man
named Forbes of some minor articles,
was turned loose, as the complainant
failed to appear against him.

The well-boring machine this week
drilled through go feet of higf grade ore,
from which assay returns were as high
as SIS ton in gold. The width of the
ledge could not be ascertained.
At depth of as feet in the Shirley c
shaft strong ledge was encountered.
Assay returns have not been had as yet
but paintings of good character have
been had from the ore. Srosscutting on
the ledge will soon be started.

RAILROAD AND SMELTER PROMISED
Yerington's Future
Was Never Brighter

Today the Yerington district stands on
tbe Threshold of invigorated and con-
tinued prosperity If the plans of rail
road magnates and engineers are carried
ont the Yerington district will be trav-
ersed BY broad gauge railroad ere the
present year is done.
Through the efforts Of Joe Holland, of
Wabuska, railroad operator and promo
ter Of the Rawiiide Western railroad
which is now under construction, G. II.
pierson of the California Contracting
company was induced to spend several
days this week in looking over this dis
trict. Mr.. Pierson, in company with
Mr.. Holland, visited the famous Lud-
wig. Douglas and Bluestone mines, after
which they took in the agricultural situ-
alton, visiting several ranches. Upon
their return to the city Mr.. Pierson was
50 enthusiastic that in an interview with
a Times man, he said that he was sur
prised to see a country with such won
derful resources. He continued by say
ing: "The mineral showings in the
mines that we visited alone prove the
permanency of the camp, without con-
sidering the other mines in the neigh
borhood, which ! hear have an equal
showing" Continuing. he said: The
agricultural prospects OF this valley, il
system Of colonization were established,
would add greatly to the output Of the
district There are few people who
know of the resources of this great coun-
try, as most OF the people go right by
the district and never take time to visit
it, presuming there is nothing here" In
conclusion, he said: II look for this
country to be one of the biggest and
richest sections OF the west. in the pro-
duction OF wealth within the next few
years
This initial trip Of Mr.. Persons was
In the purpose OF securing an estimate
OF the tonnage which the railroad could
rely on as being shipped out, and as Mr..
Person put 1.-THE tonnage warrants
an immediate construction of a railroad"
shows that the railroad people hereto
fore have overlooked the wonderful OPP
portunities of this part of Nevada.
Mr., Pierson left the latter part of the
week for California, where he goes to
place the results of his visit before his
company, and it is believed that active
Developments will be the result of his
visit.
Joe Holland, who promoted this in
vestigaiion, is highly optimistic over the
future of this country with the advent of
the railroad. Mr.. Holland represents
capital himself, and he claims that the
Yerington district will not be another
year without railroad connection with
the outside world
Just as TO where the proposed railroad
will run is not known, but il is thought
that II will tap all the mines on the
range west of Yerington, with a spur
line to the properties on the eastern
range

directed considerable energy towards the
development of the ore bodies on this
level; drifting to the south and west.
In an auxiliary drift from the west drift
what appears to be an immense body of
chalcopyrite and bornite copper ore has
been opened into and the daily assays of
the entire face since it was encountered
have run from 8.01 to 12.42 per cent cop
per; while in the south drift, which was
mentioned in Mr.. Arentz's message, the
values have run close to 8 per cent cop
per.
In the Wine being sunk from the 400
level, during the past week, eight tons
of ore averaging 81 81 per cent copper
were taken out and sent to the surface.
