BIG STRIKE
Rich Ore in the Deep
Workings
Company Issues Orders to Allow
None Except Employees to
Enter Shaft

new and wonderful strike has been
trict Last week this paper recorded the
finding of ore i'll the shaft at a depth of
$40 feet. At the time of that strike the
ore seemed not to be in place and, while
the find was taken to be forerunner of
greater things at further depth, it was
not out of the ordinary.
But this week we are able to inform
our readers that copper ore of an except
ional high grade has been encountered
in we'll defined VEN that is so far as
known at present as wide as the shaft
Orders have been received from the Of
fees of the company at Goldheld to al
low none other than employees down the
shaft. The TIMES man could learn little
or nothing at the property. Superinten-
dent Hartenll was as silent as the tomb
when approached, but this paper is in a
position to state definitely that the strike
on the Mcconnell is one of the best in
the history of Yerington.
Wallace MacGregor, field representa-
tive of the company, visited Yeringtor

Great Improvement
In a Year
Ed Hoffman, Mining Man, Says the
Camp Is Entitled to the Praise
It Receives

Ed Hoffman, Salt Lake City mining
man, spent several days of this week in
camp. During his visit he inspected
several properties and went away with
an enthusiastic opinion of Yerington.
The showings here are truly wonder
full" said he to a representative of the
Times. Il visited your camp year
ago but so great has been the change
during that time that person can hardly
realize that it is the same place. The
past years developments have resulted
in the opening up of vast ore tonnage
in many of the properties.
my visit here primarily is in the in
terest of the Nat c. Goodwin Brokerage
company, which concern is negotiating
for large block of stock in the North
ern Light company. have just returned
from the property and can only say that
it looks like winner.
but to return to Yerington: The
camp certainly looks fine. Your claims
that it is one of the greatest high-grade
copper camps in the west are, believe,
well founded l understand that the
slump has affected the camp but little,
but, then, that is easily accounted for,
You must remember that Yerington on
the whole is mining an exceptionally
high grade of the red metal. On the
outside the camp is always favorably
spoken of. An acquaintance with the
district would only convince anyone that
no other opinion could be honestly en-
tertained.'

The wonderful showing at Mountain
View at this writing is almost beyond
belief. The ore body in the property of
the Wilson Gold Mines Company has
been proven for width of Is feet with
no apparent signs of its pinching out.
This vast kidney of ore in its entirety
will pay to ship; in fact, it appears at
this time as if the property would be on
a dividend paying basis before the close
of the years. The great quantity of ore
is such that it is quite likely that work
will have to be temporarily suspended in
order to build road to the mine so as to
be able to transport the pay streak-par-
don the word to the mills.
The company has in mind the erection
of a mill on the Walker river to treat
their ores. Already there is enough in
sight and extracted to keep mill busy
continuously for over year. Now, if
that is not the most wonderful record in
the state of Nevada, taking the age of
the camp into consideration, we have
spent our best years i'll Nevada mining
camps to learn nothing.
Mountain View. at its present rate,
will certainly startle the world as gold
camp. The mineralized zone is between
2 and 3 miles long and in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 feet wide. Not very ex-
tensive you may say, but this is case
where good things come i'll small pack
ages. The Wilson Gold Mines Company
alone has mine that will support a
thriving community. But tits not alone.

There will likely be change IN the
ownership of the Nevada Rockiand mile

potiating for the property and It is more
than likely that it will secure the hold

proposition having been a prollhc pro

the owners were caught hard.
There is still owing the miners large

Mountain View Continues to Be
The Center Of Attraction

the east extension of the rich Wilson
vein is being opened up by leasers, one
of whom struck high-grade Immediately
after beginning operations. Indications
are favorable that every leaser on this
property will be handsomely rewarded
Another property, the Shirley c, has
a splendid showing. 1t, too, will make
good if it has not already done so.
Thad Hoppin and Harry Beers are
working the Piute and Shoshone claims.
They are confident that their labors will
be rewarded Both are mining men of
ability and place the greatest confidence
in Mountain View. The latter was for
years in the employ of Chas. ID. Lane.
He does not hesitate to say that Mount
ain View is one of the biggest things he
has ever seen.
Ed Graham has taken a lease on a
block of the Carydon claim. He is al
ready at work opening up the ground.
If this new camp does not add few
more names to Nevada's list of million
aires there will be some capable mining
men greatly surprised. Every leaser in
that section stands an excellent chance
to come out of there we'll supplied with
wealth.
A boom may be looked for any time.
Just now the attention of the public is
being devoted to Rawhide, itself a won
derful camp. Withal Mountain View has
showing which the great Rawhide can
not duplicrte. Mountain View Will soon
make a bid for supremacy. 1t is entitled
to become one of Nevada's greatest
camps. The Times believes it will.

Mountain View Town

The Mountain View Townsite COM
pany has been formed, several well
known substantial business men being
interested. George Drysdale and Il. II.
Whitacre are local agents.
Mountain View is to be the name of
the new town, and as predicted by the
ines few weeks since, splendid
camp, teeming with activity, will spring
up. 1t will be of great benefit to Yer
ington, as it will draw greatly upon this
valley for its provisions.

The Red Crow

The mammoth vein which traverses
the Red Grow group of claims at Noun
tain Wen was sampled this week giving
excellent returns. The lead which is SO
feet in width, showed an average value
of 81. 1918 in gold per ton.
The Red Grow lies about 1000 feet
from the property of the Wilson Gold
Mines Company and is regarded as a
very promising acreage. 1t carries the
same lead as the latter on account OF
which it is more than likely to encounter
high-grade with development. 1t is an
other property that promises to keep

THE BENSON FRAUD CASE.
One Day Lost by an Argument on
 Law Points.

Washington. April 22.-The clash be- tween the counsel on technical points caused a halt today in the Hyde Benson Dimond- Schneider land fraud case today before Justice Stafford of the criminal court. Assistant District Attorney McNamara and A. s. Worth ington, attorney for the defense en- gagged in a spirited colloquy growing out of the objection of the defense to the testimony of James J. Barnes, for merly a clerk in the general land of flee. The prosecution sought to show that Barnes received money from Frederick A. Hyde, one of the defend ants, to expedite cases and rush the passage of title to public lands "out Of their regular order" in the land office
 Barnes was being put through a di- rect examination when the government attorney asked him regarding deals with Hyde. Warrington entered a prompt objection. Barnes testimony was similar to that previously given by Wm. F. Walk and Woodford D. Harlan, who admitted accepting money from Jahn A. Benson to rush mat ters' through the office fin furtherance of the alleged fraudulent compact. In order that the points raised in the ob- jection of Worthington- might be ar gued. Barnes was temporarily excused and the jury required from the room. The argument of the law points in vOlved took up the remainder of the day to adjournment Justice Stafford tomorrow will pass upon the compet- ency of Barnes to answer the govern ment'S question.

THt PRESIDENT SIGNS
 THE LIABILITY MEASURE
Attorney General 8onaparte Believes That the Supreme Courts Objections Have Been Met.

Washington. April 2z-President Roosevelt today signed the employers liability bill upon receiving an opinion from Attorney General BOnaparte that the measure is constitutional.
 The bill makes railroads and other common carriers while engaged in in terstate commerce liable for the injury or death of an emplOye if the injury or death results in whole or in part from the negligence Of any of the of ficers, agents or employees of such car riers, or by reason of any defect or in sufficiency of the equipment This provision is made applicable to car riers in the territories, District of Co., lumbia, the Panama canal zone and other possessions of the United States.
 It is provided that in any action brought under the provisions of the bill the injured employe shall not be held to have assumed risk in his em- ployment in any case where a viola ton by the carriers of any statute en- acted for the safety of their employees contributed to injury or death of the employe. Any contract, rule, regula- ticn or device to enable the carrier to exempt itself from liability under the act is rendered void by a specific dec laration to that end.
 Provision is made however. that the carrier shall receive credit for any contribution made to the employe or his family in the form of insurance. relief benefit or indemnity An ac- tion for recovery for damages must be commenced within two years from the date of the cause of the suit.
 In his opinion the attorney general indicates that the bill confined in its scope to Common carrier by rail- roads" as distinguished from the act declared unconstitutional by the su- preme court which embraces all common carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce." The attorney general shows through court decisions and interpretations that the restriction des not make thisact repugnant to the constitution but is in line with state statutes which have been upheld in the highest tribunals.
