MINES RESUME WORK
IN YERINGTON DISTRICT

The favorable reports that are com
ing to us from the Yerington district
indicate that while the money crisis has
left public confidence somewhat shaken
in other districts, Yerington has recov-
cred from the convalescent stage. All
of the larger mining properties have re-
sumed operation, and mining men who
have bonds on properties in the district
are taxing every nerve to make their
payments.
From what may be considered good
authority It is feared that the Southern
Pacific company proposes to build its
branch line of road into Y~erington from
Wabuska. on the main line, next spring
and summer The ROAD will also reach
all Of the largest mines. The survey

With the coming of the road several
Of the best developed copper properties
in the district will undoubtedly erect
reduction works of some kind to handle
the product Of the mines. The Blue
stone property, owne" by Captain De
Lamar. has manufactured a great guam
tity Of brick on its ground for the pur-
pose of constructing a 1.000-ton electro
magnetic separating plant to work the
ores from the mines. The Nevada
Douglas company also c~ontemplates
erecting a 1.000-ton smelling plant on
it's ground in the spring.

THE GEOLOGY OF GOLDFIELD

the face OF the district came not from

volcanoes in the section.
This flow undoubtedly is responsible
for nearly all of the everything stratum,

little yescicled rock, showing the in

formation of igneous origin is much
deeper than might be supposed by a
layman. 1t is not superficial. at any
rate, not having yet been passed through
in any Of the deep workings Of the

MY theory is that there is a con-
siderable amount of secondary enrich

planes. All OF the high grade" in the

enrichment. A casual glance will show
that the gold was deposited on the
quartz by comparatively recent thermal
flows.
The lime that shows principally in
the form of s~elenite and gypsum is due
to filtration from the deep lying, an
cient sedimentary deposits. which evil

Wonder has accomplished much II
the fifteen months span Of it's brief bu'
strenuous career as one of the high
grade camps of the great Sagebrusf
state. 1t is chiefly remarkable for two
reasons: First, 1t comprises one OF
the largest mineralized areas in the
state, and, secondly. 1t is a camp of uni
form values.

The Colder Dawn. Sunshine Wonder,

Wonder is 81 miles distant from Fall
