YERINGTON NOT IN NEED
OF MINERS

The Reno Journal of Wednesday con-
tains an interview with prominent Yer
mgton gentleman in which the latter is
made TO state that there is demand for
men in the Yerington district. While
the Yerington district boasts of not an
iole man, the Times does not believe
that at this time men are in demand.
1he well-meaning item il allowed to go
uncouected, might be the means OF
flooding the district with laborers who
would find upon their arrival here that
jobs were not as plentiful as reports
would make it appear.
1t is true that within short time more
men will be added to the working forces
at the different properties, but the oper-
ators are well able to secure them, by
advertising or otherwise. Until that
time we would not advise men looking
f)r work to come to. this district. A
shutdown will occur for ten days i'll all
the properties beginning Monday next.
Miners will therefore be able to govern
themselves accordingly.

YER|NGTON, SAYS FL|NDT, IS BETTER
CAMP THAN ELY

periments are being conducted, he states
that nice gold brick was sent to the
mint few days ago.
The Yerington country is looking up
all around, Mr.. Flindt says, and the
better developed copper properties are
now running at clip that means big re.
suits for the near future. Yerington
district, Mr.. Flindt declares, is going to
stand in class all by itself on account
of the great amount of high-grade ore
that will be mined in addition to the
ores contained in the mountainous de-
posits of ordinary grade milling rock.
The camp, with the advent of great cor
porations and the conduct of operations
on scale commensurate with the quan-
tity and quality of the ores, cannot fail

NORTHERN LIGHT STOCK
SELLS RAPIDLY

That the public has great faith in the
future of the Black Mountain country
was clearly demonstrated this week
when there was actually clamor to Sc
cure stock in the Northern Light Cop
pr company, the first flotation of that
locality. Following Immediately upon
the footsteps of the first issue of stock,
arly 10000 shares were disposed of
r ght here at home, where the people
are acquainted with the possibilities of
The company's estate.
Work is progressing rapidly at the
mine. The shaft is down nearly 200
feet, at which point the showing is in
deed gratifying. Sulphides have come
in at this level carrying values well up
III both gold and copper.
The company is composed principally
OF local parties who will develop the
acreage in the best manner possible.
The officers and directors are: /. A..
strosnider, president; l.. II. Bartholo-
new, vice-president and general man
ager; c. II. Miller, secretary; w. Il.

Yerington to be
Without Power
For Ten Days

In order to make necessary repairs to
its power line, the Truckee River Gen
eral Electric company will cut out the
Yerington district for ten days commenc-
ing on the 10th of this month, or next
Monday. This means, of course that
the mines will have to close down for
that period, while the city will have to
depend upon other means than cleo
tricity for its light.
The move has been contemplated for
some time past. heavy thunder storm
last fall seriously affected the coils in the
company's large dynamos and since that
time the service has not been up to tie
standard. When the repairs to the line
shall have been made, the company says
there will be no further room for conf
plant.
In view of the fact that the Times
turns its paper out by electric power, it
is impossible to say at this time just
what the effect will be. However, it is
absolutely necessary that a paper of
some kind be gotten out i'll order to
comply with the law concerning the
publication of. certain legal matters now
running in this paper. 1t will be man
datory at all events to materially reduce
the size of the paper during the cutoff.

ANOTHER LEASE IN ORE
Leasers at Mountain View All
Working in Ore.

Another 1easer has 'llit it, at Mount
ain View. VIM. Lamkin and associates
have uncovered 3 feet of ore on their
lease on the Big Twenty, adjoining the
property of the Wilson Gold Mines COM
pany. This is the third strike that has
been made by leasers in the Mountain
View section during the past two weeks
and evidences the wonderful future that
is i'll store for that district
AT the present writing no assays have
been made of the ore, but judging from
the paintings received it will crowd the
500 mark. The strike was made at a
depth of 40 feet and the pay streak is OF
the same material as that encountered
by the Wilson Gold Mines company and
the other leasers.
Mountain View is beginning to attract
outside capital, and mining men are
unanimous in the opinion that it is one
of the best gold strikes that has ever
question regarding its greatness. Not a
single man of mining knowledge who
has visited the section returns with other
than the most elated opinion. Public
attention to great degree is being de-
voted to other localities at the present
time, but withal, Mountain View cannot
be held back and sooner or later will
come into its own.

Reno -Yerington
Encounters Ore
In Its Tunnel

Another ore body was encountered in
the tunnel on the o-Yerington this
week. At distance of $50 feet from
the mouth OF the bore, vein feet
wide was crosscut carving good valves
in copper. This makes the third ore
body broken into during the progress OF
the work. 1t is expected that the main
ore body for which the tunnel is being
driven will be tapped within the next
50 feet, consequently little attention at
t lis time is being devoted to the latest
discovery.
The Reno Yerington is looking better
with every shift. There is not the
slightest doubt but that il will prove
big proposition. As soon as the main
lead is broken into and prospected to
determine its extent and values at depth,
attention will be directed to the other
veins found while advancing the tunnel.
S. II. Baker, one of the heavy stock
holders of the company, arrived in camp
Thursday and will remain about week
looking after the property. He is more
than enthusiastic with the present APP
pearance of the property aud looks for
the era of production of that particular
estate to set in at an early date.

has in the neighborhood of 20 men em-
ployed in the underground workings,
which consist principally of tunnels.
The main ore body was tapped some
time prioF 20 the shutdown which oc-
Cured several months ago. Operations
are now being devoted to this ore body
to find its extent. A campaign of de-
velopment has been outlined which will
undoubtedly call for an addition to the
working forces before very long. Nearly
all the work at this time is being done
by machines and good progress is re-
ported.

MASON VALLEY IS THE GREATEST MINING AND
FARMING DISTRICT IN THE SAGEBRUSH STATE
GOLD VALUES
The Flyer Group Has Remark
able Gold Showing.

The Flyer group of claims holds the
record for gold values in the Yerington
district. On the surface some splendid
assays were received which warranted a
thorough prospecting OF the ground. In
line Herewith a shaft was sunk to
depth OF 50 feet on the ledge with the
result that the values have shown
steady increase, while the vein has inn
proved materially. This week some
samples were taken OF the vein and the
returns would indicate that the Flyer is
a property of mine proportions The
lowest OF these assays was S76.S4 and
the highest S331.50.
ID. V. Gelder of the company and
Superintendent Pringle made thorough
inspection of the ground. The former
stated that his company will resume op-
erations within the next 80 days and
prosecute work from that time on with
vigor He is more than elated with the
prospects of the mine and is certainly
warranted in believing that il is destined
to become heavy producer OF the yell

work TO SOON BEGIN
ON THE YERINCTON
WATER SYSTEM

II is proposed to begin work at once
upon the water system, which is to sup
ply the city of Yeripgton with water for
domestic and municipal purposes. Early
next week O. II. Some will leave for
san Francisco, where Ire will inspect the
pipe that has been ordered by the parties
financing the system. This action is
taken to insure the quality of the pipe,
which is Ia be wood stave Of frst-class
material. Mr. Some isthoroughly COM
potent to pass upon the fitness Of the
t,ipe iaY use in Yerington and will see to
il that only the very best shall be ship
ped to this city.
Now that the water system is assured,
tlere are many citizens who believe it
advisable for the city council to bond the
city for the purpose of installing a sew
erage system. The two are much need
ell in Yerington and the one makes the
ether not only more feasible but abso-
ltely necessary II is To be hoped that
the council will act in this matter at
once as il means. much to the city.
Every right thinking citizen will COM
m end any act upon the part of the coun-
ci to provide the city with proper sew
crage facilities.

OLD LANDMARK MOVED
FROM The STREET.

To give way to the new, the old lani-
marks which have witnessed the growth
of Yerington from village on the old
immigrant trail to a city of modern
times, are being either torn down or
moved further away from the heart of
the business section. This week the old
house that has stood for years at the
southern end of Main street was moved
to another resting place. The place was
located on property belonging, at this
time to John McAlister. Its removal
was ordered by the city council as it
stood practically in the center of the
main thoroughfare of the city.
This edifce was one of the first built
in Mason Valley, having been erected
in the days when what is now the city
of Yerington was stopping place for
the gold seekers vending their way to
the Nevada and California finds. Could
it talk it would relate history interest
ing indeed. But time works wondrous
changes: it has served its purpose and
was forced into the background.

MALACHITE TO RESUME
OPERATIONS AT AN
EARLY DATE

The Malachite is preparing to join the
procession OF the working properties in
the Yerington district. Just as soon as
the electric power line'is repaired the
mine will start up full blast. Superin-
tendent Some is busy putting in his
time these days making all the nects-
sary arrangements preparatory to the
resumption of operations. This week
two large buckets .arrived from Salt
Lake City and were Immediately trans
ported to the mine where they were i'll
stalled.
There is not property in the Yering-
ton district which has shown up more
favorably with development than the
Malachite. A shaft has, been sunk to
considerable depth, disclosing wonder
full ore body of copper sulphides averag-
ing we'll up in the red metal. Those
best acquainted with the property are
not loathe to say that it has all the ear
marks of making into one of the largest
producers in the entire district, which
naturally means that it is looked upon
as one of the coming copper properties
of the world, for when comparisons are
already proven mines of the Yerington
district the statement must be backed by
wonderful showing.
