GRANITE IMPROVING AS
WORK GOES ON

Granite has begun to take on the air
of a genuine Nevada mining camp. The
leases are looking we'll and the ore bod
les are widening and contain the same
high values.
The Big 20 is destined to make one of
Nevada's greatest mines There are rea-
sons for this: First, the formation is
perfect for the deposit of rich ore; sec
ond, the geology of the district is the
same as that of Virginia City, which has
been the greatest mining camp in the
United States.
To quickly and fully demonstrate the
richness of the Big 20 hill, tunnel COM
pany has been formed and tunnel
started to tap the ledge at the lowest
practicable point. This will not only
cut the Big 20 ledge, but will cut two
other ledges between the portal and the
Big 20. The tunnel is now in $50 feet
and the cutting of the first ledge is ex-
pected daily.
This tunnel company was the result OF
a combination of three of the leases on
the Golden Age claim, the extension OF
the Big 20, and the company is COM
composed of poor leasers.
The leasers seeing the advantages OF
this splendid tunnel site. where 400 feet
of drift will cut the ledge at depth of
$50 feet, and realizing the disadvantages
of working through shaft by wind
lass, formed a tunnel company for the
purpose OF driving the tunnel for the de-
velopment of this famous ledge. This
company is incorporated under the laws
of the State of Nevada and the stock
will be on the market in few days.
Now we ask the people of Yerington
and vicinity; do YOU want to see opened
up at your very door one OF the greatest
mines in Nevada3 DO you want to see
develop second Goldheld in your midst
Do you want to see new mining camp
large enough to employ all of your idle
men3 Do you want to have a home
market for every pound of hay and every
particle of farm produce OF Mason Val
ley' II you do. give us your help on
this development tunnel. For the show
ings and general conditions which exist,
it is the best stock proposition in Nevada
today. Why invest on the outside
Help your own people. Help your
leaser; the man who develops and makes
all new camps. Some of them are your
own flesh and blood, They are Yer
ington people. DO you want to see
them do well1 Do you want to see them
succeed in ttis great mining venture
If so, give us your support If you can
not give us your financial support, give
us your moral support. We have about
as much use for a knocker as Christ has
for a pawnbroker in the Kingdom Of
Heaven. This is big country. There
is room for us all to live and prosper
Let us wake up to the real conditions,
get together and help one another. We
do not want Rip Van Wrinkles of the hot
air mining type. He has drunk too
deeply of the drug of selfshness. He is
sleeping too long on the rights of others,
and he will some day rise up from his
trance to find the gun stock of progress
rotted from the barrel at his side, and |
nothing but the skeleton of prosperity
and happiness lying at his feet. l say,
my readers, wake up. Get together and
all boost for our mining fields. Yering-
ton and the country adjacent to it is be-
yond question the cream of the mining
position of Nevada. We can boost for
Yerington, we can boost for Granite, we
can boost for Mountain View. Not one,
but all. Let us get together and boost,
for united we are sure of success; and
we are gone to the devil.
