WHALING Big STRIKE is
MADE ON MASON
VALLEY

Tile information is released by I.lew
uumphries, consulting engineer for the
Cumberland Ely and the Mason Valley
Copper companies that a whaling big
strike has been made i'll the latter prop
erty during the past few days.
After penetrating the first great body
Of fine ore in the No. 3 tunnel workings
cross cut was started for the opposite
side OF the great lode For forty or fifty
feet the values encountered were very
snail and at times the ground would
hardly assay at all. A few days ago,
while Mr.. Humphries was at the prop
eny. the ore commenced! to come in
again, and when he left home the cross
cat had gone twenty feet into sol
mass OF ore that averaged better than
per cent copper, with nothing to indi-
cate when lis limits would be reached.
Bodies Of high-grade ore from l51 to
200 feet thick are common in the Mas, n
Valley mine. and there is every reason
to expect that the disclosures in new
ground are going to prove equally as
important as anything heretofore en-
countered. This latest disclosure shows
how important the No. 4 tunnel is going
to be to the company. II has been
started at an elevation that will give ls0
feet vertical depth from the No. ; tun-
rel, and once the ore bodies have been
opened through it will add millions of
tons to the reserves in the mine. S l..

.PiTTMAN INSPECTS HIS
HOLDINGS IN This
DISTRICT

Key Pittman. the Tonopah attorney
who is heavily interested in the Wabuska
Copper mines company, operating in this
district, was an arrival in Yerington this
week for the purpose of inspecting the
company's holdings. In conversation
with a representative of the TIMES he
said that recent developments have prov
ed that the ground is capable of holding
its own with the best in the district.
This visit, said he, impressed me
a great deal more than any previous in
spection | have read your paper every
week and must confess that / thought
YOU were spreading it on somewhat, but
want to say right now that every item
you have published concerning the Wa
buska Copper Mines company has been
if ANYTHING little too conservative. III

gratifying We have opened up an i'm
mense ore body.
Prom this time on we will work with
vim with the full determination of putt
ing the estate on paving basis, task
which now believe will be an easy one.
Mr. Pittman departed Thursday for his
Tonopah home by automobile.

Mason pass is beginning to command the
attention Of some of the best mining men
in the business. This week Messrs. S. r.
Porter and r. l.. Cheney, vice president
and secretary respectively of the Ex-
change Brokerage and Loan company of
Los Angeles visited the Richards strike
in company with Mr. o. II Some, who
recently acquired title to the ground by
purchase. having paid $4,000 for the
property.
Both Mr. Porter and Mr. Cheney were
favorably impressed with what they saw.
The former is a mining man of many
years experience in various parts of the
United States aud foreign countries. He
said there was every indication that the
strike would develop into one of the big
gest things in the country with consist
ent development. The formation, por-
phyry and lime, pleased him greatly.

is an incorporated town or city IN any
county. that all the revenue derived
from the gambling licenses in such cor
poration shall go wholly to the corpora
ton instead of being divided between
the county and State as heretofore. This
cuts out the county and State. 1t also
holds that the State has a right to levy
license upon such games and that later
the city, if it sees fit, can levy an addi-
t;onal license and that both such Licenses
shall rebound TO the city.
The question arose IN Searchiieh',

where some dispute arose over the col
lection of and the levying OF gaming
licenses.

Work is progressing steadily on the

On the Big Twenty estate, Ed Graham,
a leaser has discovered rich ore. Mr..
Graham is leasing on the extreme east
ern end of the vein at the mouth of the

of values on this phenomenal ledge for
its entire length. Every leaser is now
in ore. The showing on this property
is nothing short of remarkable and per

Mr.. Cheney likewise expressed himself
in the same manner.
Within few days the outside world
will realize that Yerington can mine gold
as well as copper. There seems absolute
ly nothing at this time which can hinder
the district from being the mecca of gold
seekers.
The history of the discovery of gold in
the Mason Pass section of the Yerington
district is alive with interest. 1t proves
that to successfully mine one must exer-
else great amount of patience and per-
severance. VIM. Richards, the discover
er, has spent many years in an endeavor
to locate the rich ledge and that he was
successful in finding it is fitting reward
to his labors. Some seven years ago he
found some exceptionally rich float but
was unable to trace it to its source. Dur
ing the seven years following the finding
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1908-03-21

of the float he has persistently kept up
his search and it remained until few
weeks ago for him to uncover the blind
ledge.
The discovery of Mr.. Richards has led
up to a great deal of work being done in
the neighborhood of his find AS a con-
sequence there are many properties in
the neighborhood that have a showing
equally as strong. Especially is this the
case on the estate of Mapes and Murphy,
Richards and Christensen and number
of others.
Yerington is in the very heart of this
rich section and will naturally reap rich
ly of the benefits to follow. The city is
backed by the greatest copper belt i'll the
state beyond the shadow of a doubt and
now that gold has come to play an i'm
portant part i'll the upbuilding of the
community the future of this city is rose
ate indeed.
