Bluestone

Blue6LOu6
M. J. Heller. part owner of one or
Yerington's great mines, the Bluestone,
was an arrival in camp the first or the
week and remained several days On a
tour of inspection. The major portion
of Mr.. Heller's time was consumed in
an examination of developments made
at the Bluestone since his last visit.
Z he remainder was spent surveying the
districts showing generally.
Mr.. Heller is as uncommunicative as
ever. He realizes that he has one or
the greatest copper properties in the
world and is half inclined 10 believe l.
is the greatest. To interview him is to
learn little which might interest the
public, though now and then lie unin-
tentionally drops a remark which might
be taken to be of general concern. :
THE eminent gentleman onlI not
state Just when operations would be re-
sumed, but inferred that at no distant
date the wheels of industry would start.
Mr.. Heller thoroughly examined the
electrolytic process which is being ex-
perimented upon at the mine. The re-
suits so far as known remain with him
and those associated with him in the
treatment of the ore.
IT would not be true for the Times to
state that the Bluestone will soon start
up as a positive fact. But 1T is Wiling
to venture the guess that before Ions
the mine will be producing abundantly.
This conclusion is arrived at after
watching carefully the movements OF
those interested.
One rumor has 1t that the main shat
is to be sunk to the 1.0e0-foot level.
This work is planned 20 still further
omen up and add to the ore already in
sight estimated at a value of s1o,o0O,O 600.
Strike at Black Mountain
Another section of country which
draws upon Yerington for it's supplies is
coming rapidly to the front. BY the
time spring fairly opens activity prom
ises to reach the proportions of a boom.
The latest strike in that locality is re-
ported on the Bell Boy group of claims
owned by Yerington interests, among
the owners being Ross Thompson. Frank
Bugbee. d. w. Mckenzie, Douglas Law
son and others. At the bottom OF the
