.BUCkSkIN DISTRICT A
VERY BUSY One.

The Buckskin Mining Co., leasing the
Kennedy Con. Mining Co. ground, are
very busy cutting station on the 80
foot of the old upper Jack Bell shaft,
getting ready to install their machinery,
Hoist & Gallos frame. +" the same hav-
ing been shipped from San Francisco
week ago. Manager r. l.. Ray is busy
getting things in shape for operation and
plans are prepared for concentration
mill of 100 tons capacity daily.
Mr.. Gates and associates are working
two shifts sinking winze on the Mon
tague and Balestine ground and are down
so feet, getting very good gold paintings.
Mr.. Emery Gates is still in California
consulting his company regarding the
construction of a mill in the near future.
Mr.. W. Barrett, of Mosher & Barrett,
is sinking shaft on their Last Dollar
Fraction adjoining the Big Strike on the
Montague property, and he is getting
some remarkable fine paintings of gold.
The Dorothy Buckskin Mining Co. is
sinking two shafts, one on the .Quartzite
group adjoining the Big Strike on the
Montague property now worked by
Gates and his associates, and one on the
Sea Gull group adjoining the Richard
and Cloud strike, Mason Pass. The
Dorothy Buckskin Mining Co. has some
of the choicest ground the district can
wish for and no doubt will open up some
thing big before long.
Richard and Cloud are driving tunnel
to cut their rich ledge on the ground.
They recently made big strike in Ma
son Pass. Their tunnel is in over one
hundred feet and the showing certainly
looks good and no doubt will make big
mine when the above ledge is en-
countered.
Mr.. P. Lownev is very busy on his
property near the Gates strike, and
something good can be looked for at
little more depth.
Several prominent mining men from
the Rawhide district were here looking
for investments and certainly were we'll
pleased with the outlook No doubt
they must have read the Yerington news
OH investments.
Mr.. Roscoe w. Ray has returned to
Buckskin from Rawhide and is taking up
work with the Dorothy Buckskin Mining
Co.
Mr.. J. Harris of Morningstar visited
here lasl Saturday, and remained over
for an enjoyable time at the dance at the
Buckskin hotel. About twenty couples
were present and all report an enjoyable
time.
Mr.. Green, the mining engineer, who
was here for several weeks looking over
the Kennedy Con. Mining Co., and had
left for Los Angeles, has decided to re-
turn to Buckskin and operate in this
district.
Mr.. G. Goodale was in Buckskin the
middle part of this week and reports
that good progress has been made on
the Honest Endeavor Mining Co.
Mr.. Miller, ex-president of the Buck
skin Chamber of Commerce, is in San
Francisco.
Mr.. Allen, from Spring Gulch, was
over and showed some fine specimens of
sulphide ore. This goes to show that
the ore zone not only extends east to
Yerington, but also west of Buckskin.
M~ <~f ~,
per Co., reports that his machinery is
all here, and that the same is being in
stalled as fast as labor can put things in
shape. CHAs. G. SCHREIBER.

The Yeriugton boys report a splendid
time with big feed after the game at
Joe Hollands hotel, Joe acting as host.
Our Wabuska correspondent writes of
the game as follows:
1T is only with pleasure we hand you
true description of the conditions ex-
isting at Wabuska on Sunday, June l4th,
to be published IN your world wide paper
as per your request.
One of the most exciting and fastest
ball games ever witnessed in this section
of the state, was played between the
Yerington Amateurs and the Wabuska
Sluggers on the Wabuska grounds, in
which game the Yerington boys met
their defeat by score of Is to 5, in the
most gentlemanly manner ever witnessed
by a crowd of enthusiasts.
Our umpire, Mr.. Frank Constantine,
furnished by the Yerington boys, filled
his position to the satisfaction of both
teams, and words cannot express our
wishes for his future welfare.
The main feature of the game was the
pitching of Barney Little, merely a
child, whose curves were too simple to
be solved.
We owe to Mr.. Connie Holland our
heartfelt sympathy on account of the
avoirdupois, which he seems to be bur-
dened with, when making base run,
but nevertheless he is doubtless the star
player OF Wabuska.
We wish to congratulate our Irish"
friend, Mr.. Jack Mullikin, first baseman,
for the assistance he afforded us by his
long hits and more especially his ability
as a foot racer of the fastest type, and
sliding in OH bases, while the ball was
yet in the fielder's hands.
The banquet furnished the players
and spectators by Mr.. Joseph Holland,
one of the most enterprising business
men of Nevada, Immediately after the
game, was pronounced by all an over
whelming success.

hearty congratulations extended to them
by the lady spectators on account of Wa
buska having one of the most pleasant
and interesting entertainers of Mason
Valley, now ladies kindly take into con-
sideration Mr.. ]. A. Scott who made
two-base hit.
1t is needless to mention the names of
the rest of the Wabuska players, as they
all shine in their respective positions
The Wabuska boys are confident of
duplicating the score on their return
game which is to be played at Yerington
July 5th.
MIR. Mullikin has received offers from
the National League, but thinks he will
gain more prestage with the ladies by
