SHELTER Is PROMISED
FoR YERIMoToM DISTRICT

That Yerington will not long lack
smelter facilities is evidenced by the
moves that are being made in that direc-
ton both in the east and in the west.
1t is almost assured that the Nevada
Douglas company contemplates the early
installation of a plant to treat the prod
uct of it's mines. In addition a company
of New York capitalists is looking over
the field with a view to taking definite
action.
And now comes the Native Copper
company with the positive announce
ment that within 60 days it will begin
the erection of a smelter on its prop
erty in the Mason range. west of the
city of Yerington.
Sunday last Messrs. H. Pennington
and J. H. Rhoads of California, both OF
whom are heavy stockholders in the Ma
tive Copper. visited Yerington for the
vowed purpose of making arrangement
for their plant. interviewed by a repre-
sentative of the Times, Mr.. Pennington
said: Eyes. il is true we are going 10
build a smelter. Actual construction
work will begin in 60 days"
Have you agreed upon a site Tor
your plant?' was asked.
I'VE have" he replied. 1T Will De

do you expect any a~ntagonism on the

questioned.

LYRIC rHEATEE SECURES
\. DRAMATIC ORGANIZATION

If there is anything that indicates the
renewal of sound financial conditions in
the camp it is in the attitude OF the
mana cement of the Lyric theater.
Theatricals and their support deter
mine more the value of a community
than the prices of drinks and cigars.
When there is a strong support for en-
tertainment 1t naturally follows that
there is plenty of money for the neces-
saries OF life.
The announcement that Arthur j.
Aylesworth manager of the Lyric
tbeater, has by purchase obtained the
control of the foremost dramatic organ
liza ton on the Pacific coast and that this
company will make their initial appear

GIVES GOOD REPORTS
OF MINES AT o0LCoNDA

Arnold Weibel, who recently came to
this city from Golconda, reports great
activity in the mines at Golconda, and
Gold Circle and predicts a very bright
future for both these camps, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. In speaking OF the
mines of Golconda and vicinity, Mr..
Weibel said:

BILE. there has been great activity IN the
mines and much work is being done 10

many has a large number of men at WORK
in the mines also at the concentrat-
ing plant, which is an entirely new pro-
cess and is attracting the attention OF
mining men of the whole world. Among
the other mining properties which are
bainp worked successfully at present are

Tuesday night about $40 two robbers
forced their way into the home Of Mrs.
Keidel. near the Presbyterian church.
and spent almost an hour in a thorough
search of the premises. Mrs. Keidel
was compelled to stand with her face to
the wall while the search was going on,
the thieves relieving her of a pair of
fine diamond earrings and taking every
thing else Of value from the house. AS
soon as they left the sherin's ONCE was
notified and a number of deputies pat
on the case. Wednesday morning James
Guinan and John Harrington were ar
ersted on suspicion as being connected
with the case. Both men carried revol-

TONOPAH STARTS NEW YEAR
UNDER GOOD CONDITIONS

no money forthcoming on this PROPOSE
ton. and the attachment Of the property
followed by the Tonopah Extension
The property appears to be valuable
territory. for 1t Is right in line with the
good things of the camp. and there is no
reason why development hou not pro-
duce another good mine in the camp in
the Golden Anchor. There does not APP
pear to be any chance for the saving Of
the property from the Tonopah Exten-
sion. and II the latter company does
finally get possession of II. they will
without a doubt go to work develop
ing IL.
The Tonopah Banking corporation has
secured Judgment against the McKane
Mining mpan for the sum of ss,61s.64,
and against the Red Rock Mining COM
pany for the sum of ss.543.67. These
are two more of the ventures of Nc
Kane. who undoubtedly has given up all
thought of ever returning to the camp,
or doing anything with the properties.
Nobody here believes that either prop
erty will ever be redeemed. and the inn
preston is that when they go under the
hammer, somebody will get them who
will proceed to develop them in the
proper hammer. his VII DC Hdfu fiits
on the stockholders, but 1t will mean
more development work in the camp. and
experts believe that there will be good
bodies OF ore found in the properties.
Morgan ~Tillinghast. who came here to
take charge of the Belmont as general
manager, has gone back to the east. but
before he went he gave evidence OF the
faith of himself and his eastern ASSOC
ciates in the country in the vicinity OF
Tonopah. He secured the control of the
Nevada Alpine at one Mountain. and
has put in charge of 1t, s. II. Brady, the
new superintendent of the Belmont. The
Nevada Alpine was owned by the
O'Meara brothers.. who have also the
valcalda Silver Peak at the Peak. 1t
was the first shipper from this part of
the country and has continued as a ship
per all these years.
Mr.. Tillinghast made a number OF
changes in the Belmont. and also in the
mill at Millers. A number of men were
let out of the latter place, and the new
general manager has announced that he
is going to make the mill a paying prop
osition. which will be something new for
the big plant. The eastern man said
that he had the utmost confidence in h
Belmont mine. and knew that here was
a mine on the property. The shipments
from the mine ave ceased, which Mr..
Tin:nghast said was in accordance with
his policy. which Is to assert the ore,
and make a milling proposition OF the
mine. There were 900 tons went to the
mill at Millers last week. but this Is not
to keep a 60-stamp mill run
and so the general manager says
that he will take the ore from other
mines, and handle 1t for the owners.

There was a rumor about town this
week that the Kewanas had made an ac-
cidental discovery of a large body OK ore
running over 500 per ton. through a
cave-in at the mine. AS there is only
one man at the mine, taking care of the
water, access could not be gained, and
the rumor could not be verified. Later.
Mr.. Schloss. lanai of the Goldfeld
Kewanas, confirmed the rumor and said:
1T is a genuine find. Through a cave-in
in the north crosscut that connects with
the perpendicular shaft, a large body OF
quartz was exposed in the roof. which
assayed from 5000 to $3.50. The COM
pany feels jubilant over it because 1t Is
an entirely new shoot and 20 feet from
the main body where there was a fault.

FOOD STRIKE 1EP01TED
IN B1uMsWICx DIsT1ICT

News of a strike in the Yerington-
Logan property at Brunswick Canyon
reached this city today and caused con-
siderable excitement In local mining
circles.
According to a man who visited the
property the rich vein for which they
have been sinking was tapped on the
200-foot level a couple of days ago. Not
only does the rock from the new strike
maintain it's high percentage of copper
to the ton.
The company owning these claims
have had a force of men constantly
sinking in an endeavor to locate this
rich streak and now that they have ac-
complished their undertaking and find
the rock richer than they had ever even
hoped for, they are very jubilant over
the outlook of their mining property.
The Brunswick canyon. mines are un-
doubtedly among the richest copper
properties in the entire state and now
that gold values are showing in the ores
1t becomes one of the leading mining
propositions in the state. 1t is under
stood that a smelter will be erected on
the ground within the ourse of the next
few months for the reduction of the
ores.
Al the Appeal has stated on other oc-
casions the site for a smelter in Bruins
wick Canyon is undoubtedly the best In
the entire state. Power. water. railroad
facilities, immense deposits of iron ore
for fux are right at its very door and
all that is needed is the capital to erect
the reduction plant.
This also will be forthcoming before
another New Year rolls around and this
| section Of the state will be advancing al
a rate that will surprise the natives

but when the price OF silver continued to
sink. II became imperative to change
tactics.
The directors who passed the dividend
which has been paid so Iong on Tonopah
stock acted wisely in view of the condi-
tons. The majority of the public was
at a loss to understand the move. for the
published statement of the company
showed a surplus OF So 400. 900. Many
thought that this represented cash on
hand or cash invested at good rates Of
interest. 1t represents cash invested all
right. but 1t is cash invested in the bet
terments and improvements of the mine
The 100-stamp mill at Millers cost
81. 100. 900, and there is an Indebtedness
of nearly s60o.000 on that plant. The
directors deemed It wise to remove that
indebtedness before paying any more
dividends. Then the fact that the Tono-
pah and Goldheld road. in which the
Tonopah company has the controlling in
%terest. has been losing money. and is in
debt, shut off some of the profits of the
company. But withal. the reports
showed n net DTuHt lIbt1 tHt fiHt VI
more than s30o.o00 for the quarter end
ing in November.
The Belmont mill has shut down for
repairs, and will remain closed for about
a week. When 1t resumes work it VIII
be open for the handling OF the ore Of
any and all the mines in the camp for
II will be virtually a custom naul. There
is not enough milling ore in sIGht in the
Belmont to keep SO stamps going contir-
ually. and so the management has deter
mined to go on the outside for its profits.
as IL is proposed to make the mill a pay
ing proposition.
Today is payday in the camp. and as
all the miners and others employed
in and about the mines, will be paid In
cash. Instead of being paid in gold coin.
will be paid half in gold and
half in cash. The reason for this is that
the people in the east desire to get rid
of as much silver as possible so that the
government may be compelled to buy
more silver bullion. and better the con-
ditions of silver mining.
The management Of the Tonopah Elk
has been getting busy in the way

more than 81 a share. Now. a stock
holder would be glad to get any old
price for his stock. The company is in
debt, and there is hardly a chance to
raise money. as there is no treasury
left. A short time since. the COM
pany issued a circular asking the stock
to put up a small voluntary as
