number of feet to he accomplished before
the ore is broken into. No attention is
at this time being devoted to the ore
bodies consequently little more than has
already been said concerning them can
be given our readers. A Wine from the
floor of the upper tunnel has been sunk
to depth of about 80 feet, all in ore,
II was in this Wine that the big strike
was made. The drift from the bottom,
running east 80 feet. is ore all the way
of better value than 500 per ton, while
the bottom of the Wine bears all the ear
marks that the ledge continues on IN
definitely
The Wilson vein continues on across
the property of the Big Twenty and the
Emerson ground, every foot OF which
is being leased. The Hillygus Bros. and
Kendall have lease OH the main lead

estate. They are driving tunnel which
will tap, in addition TO the Wilson ledge,
two other independent ones all OF which
show up remarkably well on the surface.
This in the opinion of the writer is one
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1908-03-14

of the best lays in the entire district.
As yet, the tunnel has not advanced
sufficiently to reach the ore bodies.
Standing on the summit one can trace
the ledge for distance of at least 4,000
feet south easteriy Turning around, 1t
shows plainly for 1000 feet north
westerly. l believe it is the greatest,
strongest and best defined vein in the
state of Nevada with the exception of
the great Comstock lode. There are
twelve leasers at work all of whom have
good prospects. For the entire length
of the lead paintings are to be had,
some of course better than others. In
the main the work thus far done has not
proven the strength of the ledge at
depth. The deepest workings are on
the lease of Lee, Lamkin, Lam and
Barrett. The shaft is here down IS feet
at the bottom of which the ore body is
as wide as the shaft AT the S0-foot
level drifts have been run and ore ex-
tracted. Assays have shown values all
the way from 500 to $50 per ton.

Brooks lease shot into a good sized
streak which pans well, but which can
not be elaborated upon simply because
enough work has not been done to war
rant elaboration. To speak of the other
leases would but to repeat the statement
already made that each has good pros
poets for opening up splendid ore bodies
At the present time they, all of them,
are in the prospective stage but they are
prospects that are seldom seen even in
this great state of mineral wonders.
What depth will do remains for the fu-
ture to determine. 1t is possible that
great bodies of immensely rich ore will
be encountered. At all events, Noun
tain View will make into one of the
largest lowgrade propositions in the
west if the vein continues at depth as it
is on the surface. Taking the con-
servative view that it is q milling propo-
sition, leasers will still be able to make
good money. The camp is situated but
three miles from the railroad and but
four from the Walker river.

In the beginning let il be understood
that Mountain View is not the greatest
gold camp on earth. II is camp in
the making and may some day take on
fact, rush is already on its way. Two
townsiles have been started aud each Is
becoming populated at rapid rate. OF
course, there are saloons doing business
in each, the one called Mountain View
and the other Granite. They are sepa-
rated by rolling hills and will be con-
nected by good road, which passes all
the working properties.
The approach to Mountain View is
sight worthy of special mention. Rolling
hills and half sized mountains intertwine
in majestic confusion. BY the sides OF a
road that seems endless, there are evil
denees that the prospector has been
there for every now and then excava-
tons tell the story of his visit This fact
railways taken to mean that he who
braves the harlships of the desert is
taken" with the country; he wastes no
labor where he is not impressed with the
possibilities of making a "stake"---a
stake that is, when made, too often
squandered in a night in some gilded
den of vice to make the miserable
wretches of the underworld possessed of
the fruits of his toll, his privation and
his hardship. Sentinel-like as far as the
eye can discern in every direction stands
the population of monuments which
might be taken for some mute, inani-
mate thing beckoning the miner to his
reward
Mountain View itself fairly bursts upon
one, which causes sigh of real relief.
There is something which seems to tell
you that the mountains thereabouts are
r'ch in mineral. That something is
borne out after an inspection of the work
winch has been done, but what is the
use OF needless waste of words.
The Wilson Gold Mines company's
"oiuihgs were visited. On the dump
There are some 500 sacks OF ore that will
mil better than 500 to the ton in gold.
just why 1t is allowed to remain there is
unknown to the writer. In the under
ground workings the vein shows for a
width of at least four feet throughout,
wh'ie there are kidnevs that open up to
many times that size, all of which is ore.
ihe appearance of this property war
rants the belief that the stock in the
company should be selling around so
cents. II is certainly property of
merit AT the present time two tunnels
are being driven, the upper one to en-
counter parallel ledge and the lower
one TO tap the main ore body at a depth

formation, proves that a boom is very
likely to follow.
In speaking of the group Mr.. Some
said; If l did not think we'll. of it l
certainly would not have invested S50.-
600 in it. In my opinion it is one of the
best gold propositions from surface
standpoint in the state. At any rate. it
is one of the most promising prospects
| have ever seen in my career as min
ing man which covers the greater part
of my life. The ledge is particularly
strong and we'll defined and occurs in a
formation that is all that could be
desired
There are all the ear marks that it
will develop into a producer of no mean
ability. 1t is my wish to begin work as
soon as possible and l will begin OPP
erations just as soon as / have transact
ed some important business affairs which
require my immediate attention.
At the present time enough ore caiN be
extracted to make a nice shipment; in
fact there is enough ore already on the
d Imps that when gathered up would net
snug little sum. When we are well
under way you can say that we will
send the ore outside to be treated.
The world has long considered Yer
ngton as copper producer exclusively.
1t will be a great advertisement for the
camp when the public is brought face to
face with the fact thai. the yellow metal
is mined here i'll large and paying
quantities.

the strike is one of the very best to be
recorded in the state. Average samples
taken of the Richards and Cloud ground
show it to carry values in excess of $50
per ton in gold while there are streaks
in the ledge above 500 per ton.
The fact that the gold belt occurring at
Mason Pass is quite extensive and that
there are many property holders which
have ground there showing the same

phyry and lime walls. 1t is strong and
well defined.
The purchase has caused great deal
of excitement in this camp. Owners of
adjoining claims have been busy the past
few days searching for the vein on their
holdings. In several instances success
is reported. Mapes and Murphy have
uncovered the lead on their ground
which is an extension OF the property

purchased by Mr.. Some, while Charles
Wishart brought in some rock last even
ing which is of the same material and
which pans freely. Others interested in
that section are Jack Christensen and an
Oakland syndicate.
There is every reason to believe that
Yerington will be the scene of gold
excitement before many days shall have
passed. Many are of the opinion that
