outing with her friend Estella Clifford ON

1t was mentioned in last weeks paper
that Smiths Haberdashery had Just re-

have read ladies' skirts.
Miss Susan Livingstone left few days
ago for San Francisco where she will
remain for couple of weeks, selecting

Mr.. and Mrs. v. Sittel, Carl and Miss
Lena Davis, Lon Chappell, Mrs. Walter

expecting an account of the trip written
by one of them, we might exaggerate,
as they brought us some trout.
J. D. Caldon, Consulting Mining En-
gineer from Denver, Colorado, spent yes
terday in Yerington visiting old friends
from his state. At home he is known as
Uncle Jim and is authority on mining
matters and geological formation. He
drove from Denver and visited many Ne
vada camps on the way. From here he
will drive to Goldfeld. Next week we
may give some of his conclusions as to
Nevada camps.
Elige Dunn, of Nordyke, youth of
10, went into the hills, Monday, after
wood. While in the mountains, he was
kicked in the stomach by one of his
horses and lay helpless from Monday
noon until about the same time Tuesday,
when he recovered sufficiently to hitch
up his horses, get on the wagon and
drive home. The entire time he was
suffering terribly, and now lies at his
home in critical condition.
Horace Dunbar, representative of the
Salt Lake Tribune, visited this district
since our last issue and inspected the
copper mines, or rather two of them, and
he was the most surprised man you ever
saw. He had heard much of the pros
poets here but was not prepared to see
vast quantities of copper ore blocked out
ready to be mined whenever smelter
could be reached. After two days ex-

camps of this country. We are willing
to be classed with Ely for time yet, un-
til we get railroad facilities and smelter,
then this will be spoken of as the second
Butte. If seeing is believing then all
the world has to do to be convinced is to
come to Yerington and see for them
selves.
A. G. Guthiel, agent for the Mason
Valley Extension Mining Company, put
some money in circulation last week by
purchasing the Butte and Anaconda
claims which join on the Bluestone and
Yerington Consolidated properties. The
Mason Valley Extension Mining Com
pany is composed of Utah capitalists who
have said little but kept saving wood
until now they own some of the best
ground in the district. Their Blue Excel
group lies between the Mason Valley and
Bluestone properties. this group contains
