FINE REPORT ON
THE MALACHITE
An Attractive Illustrated, De-
SCriptive Document Is Pre-
pared by S. M. Levy.

report descriptive of the proper
ties of the Yerington Malachite Cop
per company, covering eleven claims
and more than 200 acres of as rich min
eraI ground as the Mason mining dis
trlct, Nevada. boasts. has just been is
sued. 1t is brief and to the point and.
within the pages of the handsome COW
er, are number of fine half-tones
showing the surface improvements, in
ciudlng hosting works, shops, board
ing houses, machinery, etc. The sur
race appearance of the ground covered
by the claims, together with the en-
frances of tunnels, etc, is perfectly
displayed, while markings show the
course of the lodges and the posts
marking the dividing lines of the Mala-
chite and Mason Valley company's
mines. In addition to the photographs
is splendid map Of the Malachite and
the chief neighboring properties, in
clud1ng the Mason Valley group on the
north and the property of the Western
Nevada Copper company, adjoining on
the south. The Mcconnell group, the
Ish property and Captain. j. R De La
mars famous Bluestone, as well as the
YeringtOn Consolidated, are all shewn
IN the map and, at variance with usual
custom in making such reports, it is
noted that most complimentary refer
ence is made to some of the neighbors
of the company issuing the report.
The subject matter of the report is
compiled and signed by S. NJ. Levy,
the chief expert and engineer of the
National Development company, and
every breath uttered and every figure
given may be relied upon as being as
nearly correct as it is possible for a

No pictures of fabulous wealth are
drawn in this report, but there is sub
stance and ring of HONESTY in every
paragraph that makes the report ap-
peal to the reader as a plain statement
OF fact. 1t is a document that will
show shareholders in the company lust
exactly what their property is. and it
will also prove a general enlightener
on the district in which the mines are
located.
1t is not the purpose here to review
the contents of this report, but. in
passing, it may be said that coursing
through the company's ground are the
great lodges that are relied upon to
make the biggest mines in the Yering-
ton copper region. These lodges run
south from the Bluestone and the Ma
son Valley into the Malachite. and
then southwesterly into the Western
Nevada. The Bluestone and the Ma
son Valley are both counted as great
mines already, and the Malachite is
running close up to the Mason Valley,
with a prospect that it will prove fully
as big.
An average of thirty-nine samples
taken from surface holes and workings
along these veins in Malachite ground
go 5.SS per cent copper. The average
of four samples taken in No. l tunnel
give GIL per cent copper, while an av-
erage of twelve general samples from
No. tunnel workings show 645 per
cent copper. From workings in the
parallel ledge in the company's Janu-
airy claim, which is twenty-five feet
wide, eleven samples give an average
of II per cent copper. The main ledge
on the property is from fifty to 200
feet wide and great masses of fine ore,
some of shipping grade and all suscep-
tible of fine returns i'm milling, have
already been opened up.
