GOOD WATER FLOW AT
MOUNTAIN VIEW

The Ryan we'll boring outfit, which left
Yerington last week for Mountain View,
commenced boring for water last Mon
day on the townsite property. AT a
depth of $50 feet strong flow OF good
pure water was encountered. This
means much for the new camp, as it
now assures good water supply for the
present needs of the place, AS the town
grows no doubt other wells will be sup
piled. The hole was not sunk alone for
water, but also to do a little prospecting
as a side issue, and as subsequent events
have shown those interested knocked
over two. birds with one rock-they not
only got water, but the core from the
hole shows good goldcolors in the pan

MOUNTAIN VIEW A BIG
SURPRISE to- AN
OAKLANDER

d. V. Gelder of Oakland, CAL, secre-
tary of the Flyer group of gold and cop
per mines located near Buckskin, ac-
companied by George R. Pringle of the
Commercial hotel, paid Mountain View
a visit last Monday. While there the
gentlemen located five claims about one
mile from the townsite. Mr.. Gelder says
that in all his travels he never saw
finer surface showing than is display ed
in that camp, and expresses the belief
that with proper and judicious develop
ment work that country will come. to the
front and be second to none as gold
producer. They brought in some crop
pings from the ground they located
which shows rice colors in the pan.
They will immediately commence devel-
opment work on their holdings. ssIi-

GOOD TIMES AHEAD
FOR PINE GROVE

+. w. Drummond of Sacramento
passed through Yerington Monday on
his way to Pine Grove. Mr.. Drummond
goes to Pine Grove fully prepared to re-
sume operations on an extensive scale
in the Drumnond Gold Mines company S
property, which has lain idle for about a
year. Besides his own property he will
work the old Wheeler mine, on which
he has securel lease. The Wheeler
mine is one of proven merit, having
been worked intermittently for the past
thirty years, and has produced its mill
lions in the yellow metal.
He has leased the Wilson mill and it
is the intention to keep the mill s stamps
churning steadily OH the ores from both
mines. A goodly number of men will
be employed at both the mines and mill
for some time to come.

Mr. Drurnmond is man of practical
mining experience, having been engaged
in California for years in that occupa-
ton, and there is no doubt but that he
will make success of the venture. He
it was who made the sale to George
Wingield of Goldheld of the famous
Three Queens mine at Forest Hill,
Placer county, Cal.. undoubtedly one of
the richest gold mines in that State,
The assumptions of work at Pine Grove
means much for Yerington. as this place
is the natural supply station for the OPP
orators of that section of the country
1t is rumored that other properties at
Pine Grove and vicinity will resume
operations at an early date. and as there
is rich gold bearing reef traversing that
country good strikes can be looked for
at any time.

Of General Wright in the Philippines
He was in the islands FIVE years. It
was a tempestuOus period, a formative
stage OF American occupation. General
Wright insisted from the first that
what the Islands needed was a com

generation. He conducted the govern
ment Of the islands IL the terrible
cholera scourge Of the spring OF 1895.
When he departed from the Philippines
for Japan he was given many tributes

AS ambassador 10 Tokyo, General
Wright was placed in most difficult
and delicate position. He was the rep
resentative Of this country in Japan in
those momentous days following the
school trouble in San Francisco when
war doomed up Ominously. II is true
that the idea OF war was secuted IN
many quarters in this country. How
near TO war the country was, Is best
known by President Roosevelt. Secre-
tary Root. and General Wright. II was
a highly critical time. General Wright
by his tack. firmness. and ability did
much TO smooth things over. IL is adj

with the facts that Wright did wonder

say he IS as poor politician as Taft.
That he is not always polite in his

made a short time ago IN a speech in

from him the observation that the riot
