OFFICE BUILDING FOR
BLUESTONE

1t has been evident for some time past
that the Bluestone is preparing to inau-
gurate the most active campaign in the
history of that great property. Despite
the fact that the management observes a
clam-like silence concerning the future
developments, the signs point unmistak-
ably to an era of activity unprecedented
since the Bluestone passed to the own
ership of Captain DeLamar.
These columns have recorded at va
rious times its individual opinion, based
upon outward signs that seem at least to
tell the story. Cottages have been built
and electrically wired, repairs have been
made to the old buildings, and in every
department there has been noticeable
Improvement Now comes the news
that the company will shortly begin the
erection of an Office building of large
proportions. This structure will be a
I vo- story brick affair, and will occupy a
position on the promontory east of the
already constructed Office of the auditor.
The brick for this building is already
burned and on the ground. All that re-
mains to be done is to place the same in
position in the walls.
Considerable work is going on at the
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1908-02-29
A TRIP THROUGH THE
LUDWIG CLAIM OF
THE DOUGLAS
Through the Ludwig! What a sight

Through the Ludwig! What sight
OF places and persons we often read
descriptions so minute in every detail
that we are not strangers to their APP
pearance. When we meet the one or
visit the other no surprise is evoked.
We have been prepared. How different
the case as regards the great Ludwig
mine No end OF literature has been
presented to the world concerning this
property. yet the half has never been
told. II would tax the talents OF a
Dumas to describe the underground ap-
pearance OF this, one OF the greatest
high grade copper mines in all the
world. At the outset the writer feels
that he owes an apology to those who
through the columns OF Boston journal
have been claiming for the Ludwig po-
sition with the big ones OF the earth.
Not for any thing which he has actually
said, but for what he has actually
thought. Exceeding the limit" was
our candid opinion up to week ago.
Now, to that Boston journal we would
say: Your effoits to disclose the real
worth of the Ludwig as copper mine
have been but feeble
In the old working on the 400 foot
level the sight is one to enthuse the
most conservative. Il ough II must be
admitted that the manner of mining on
that level is not up to standard. But
then the former owners. who extracted
great quantities of ore here. did not
have the equipment that the present
owners have. The large chambers from
which the ore was taken are beautiful to
behold with their ceilings OF azurite and
maIachite. They are palaces worthy OF
king. We were shown through the
drifts and often were compelled to crawl
through what might be termed man
holes to again enter a chamber richly
lined with ore. Everywhere there is
ore
On the 500 different state of affairs
exists. This part OF the Ludwig shows
that modern methods have entered into
the development of the mine. Under
ground surveys have been made, wines
have been sunk connecting the 500 with
the SSO-foot level aud the ore bodies
prospected in most thorough manner
In the south 500 drift a vein OF ore has
been opened showing width OF 80 feet,
averaging rs per cent copper. What
think you OF thatl And remember that
not one foot of ground has been stopped
between the 400 and the S00-foot levels.
1t Is safe to say that between those levels
for distance of 800 feet square there Is
nothing but ore OF high grade. We
would not attempt to estimate the ton
mage. 1t is beyond us. Here it nigh,
be we'll to say that this great estate, the
Ludwig, has only been prospected for a
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1908-02-29
MOUNTAIN VIEW HAS
BETTER SHOWING
THAN RAWHIDE

From the very first the Times has had
acquaintance with the other districts of
Nevada makes 1t possible for this paper
to Judge of conditions there in compari-
son with the others of the Sagebrush
State. And it is our honest belief that
Mountain View is one of the greatest
discoveries ever recorded in Nevada. So
firm is our faith in the future of Noun
tain View that we believe it will event
ually rank with the almost incompatible
Goldfeld. We are convinced the show
ing is greater than it is in Rawhide,
great as that camp is. To the end that
the world may know from the most re-
putable sources of the relative merits of
the two districts, the Times will pay the
expenses of any competent engineer who
is acquainted with Rawhide who, upon
an investigation at Mountain View, does
not reach the conclusion that the latter
is by far the greater district.
Mountain View lies fourteen miles east

of mountains. The formation of the
country is porphyry, rhyolite, syenite
and trap rock 1t is characterized by
large quartzite dykes outcropping on the
surface and by four parallel veins trend
| ing east and west and ranging in width
from to 20 feet. The ore is principally
gold and is silicious in character. 1t is
free-milling proposition to great ex-
tent, and as there is an abundance of
wood and water in the neighborhood it
is plainly evident that the cost of treat
ment will amount to but trifie.
This week we shall confne our atten-
ton to the estate of the Wilson Gold
Mines company. In the upper workings
there is a shaft sunk to depth of So
seems to have been lost or pinched out
by the occurrence of a fault. Work was
abandoned here after careful survey OF
the situation by George Willis, to whom
is due more than any one else the bring
ing of Mountain View to the front rank
of Nevada mining camps.
A tunnel was started to tap the ore at
greater depth if it really existed, and
was run a distance of nearly ESQ feet
with little or no results. From the floor
of the tunnel near its mouth winze was
sunk. 1t has been dispatched but few
feet when an enormous kidney of ore
was broken into which averages III the
neighborhood of 500 per ton. Already
there are several tons of this rich stuff
sacked. 1t is now the intention to treat
the same at the Nordyke mill, where
large saving will be made in the way OF
freight, etc.
The vein in the winze is true assure
in every sense and shows unmistakable
signs of permanency. Its general width
is about 5 feet. A contract has been let
to drive another tunnel distance OF rs
feet, which will intercept the lead at
greater depth. This work when conf
plered will undoubtedly result in impor-
tant finds, if indeed they will not be SEN
sational.
There are many leasers working III the
district Each las ore of a good mill
grade, with strong indications that high
grade awaits their further efforts. Next
week we hope to dwell at length with
Mountain View as leasing camp

Woodbury, Sept. 9th, 1908 To the North Congregational Church
 Dear Brethren: Nearly two years agc you were aware of my purpose to re, sign the pastoral charge of this church this present year. Possessing the best physical health, and modestly believ- ing myself competent to preach the best sermons of my ministry. to some 1t may seem strange that l should wish to be relieved of ministerial responsi- bility in this church. l would prefer to remit ssmy work before apparent evi- dences of physical and mental weakness would make a change desirable and necessary.
 l am further convinced that after a long tpastorate of nearly 3S years, a change is desirable for this church.
 In asking your concurrence with my request for a dissolution of the pastoral relation, Fl am gratefully sensible of your unremitting kindness, your pa tient Eforbearance with my manifold weaknesses; and the unsolved enigma of my life will ever be, why the Lord and this beloved church have borne with me so long.
 2 The remainder of my life will prob- ably be spent among you. l shall be grateful for some small place in your kindly remembrance, and be glad to do all can for the prosperity and peace of this church, in which I have had my home, and to which l have given the best years of my life. For every mem- Der of this church I cherish the kindest Christian regard, and those bonds of love which through so many years have bound us in this sacred fellowship may never be broken by any wish or act of mine. Having carefully considered the best interests of this church, apart from all selfish considerations, I there- fore offer to you my resignation of this pastoral charge, to take effect the last Sabbath in October ensuing.
 You are hereby requested to call a meeting of the church. at your earliest convenience, to take action upon this resignation, and if concurred in to ap- point committee of three members of the church who shall arrange for similar committee to be appointed at meeting duly warned and cal ed. After such action said committee, with myself, can arrange for the call ng of council to which our action nay be submitted for review and ad- rice. ....
 J. L. R. Wyckoff,
 Pastor North Cong'l Church.
