IN YER|NGTON THE SPRING CAMPAIGN is ON in EARNEST
IS GREATEST
IS MOUNTAIN VIEW
OF THEM ALL

Another wonderful strike OF gold ore
characterized this weeks operations at
Mountain View. At the very grass roots
on its lease or the Big Twenty claim,
the Mason Valley Mining and Leasing
company has encountered a one-foot
vein of ore that runs Sl2S in gold per
ton. Sacking the rich stuff is now in
progress and a large shipment will un-
doubtedly go forth at an early date.
The Big Twenty adjoins the property
Of the Wilson Gold Mines company and
carries the east extension of the lead
upon which on the latter such sensa-
tional discoveries have been recorded.
Mountain View at the present time is
beyond the question of a doubt one of
the most wonderful gold districts ever
discovered in the state of Nevada. II
may be said without fear of successful
contradiction that its surface showing
has never been equalled in the history
OF gold mining in Nevada. With but
few weeks developments it has two pro-
ducing properties, each OF which is min
ing high-grade ore.
The district was brought into the lime
light By the Wilson Gold Mines com
pany, corporation composed of Yer
iugton parties. Within 80 days of be
ginning active development on this
q
was encountered in the shape of well
defined vein averaging about feet in
width carrying average values beyond
500 in gold TO the ton. This discovery
in itself is nothing short of remarkable.
In two days time II tons of the ore
were extracted and operations OH the
ore body have showed no signs OF its
decreasing in size or values. ON the
contrary there is every indication that
this ledge will produce not only thous-
ands, bat hundreds OF thousands of
dollars.
One strike doth tread upon another's
heels so fast they follow, might well
known quotation be paraphrased to cite
conditions at Mountain View in a nut
she'll.
OF the many leases given out on adj
joining estates but one has gotten down
to business. Now comes the news from
the camp that this lease is sacking high
grade ore. When we take into consid-
eration the fact that the main ore body
from which the rich rock is being ex-
racted can be traced for over 1000 feet
aud every foot of it is to be worked by
leasers, the phenomenal possibilities of
Mountain View are at once apparent.
Absolutely, without exception, Noun
tain View is one OF the greatest discov-
cries ever made anywhere. Taking the
ages OF both camps into consideration it
is far and away ahead OF even the great
1oldheld. Rawhide, a bustling camp
before operations had begun at Mountain
View, can, at this time, not be compared
with the latter. These comparisons are
not drawn i'll any way calculated to de-
tract one iota from the greatness of either
Goldheld or Rawliide. This paper would
not stoop to so ignorantly use an argu-
ment by such means. However, the
iacts are as stated and the Times is will
ing to back its reputation for veracity OH
the statements made.
Mountain View is great, and as the
weeks roll by it will be greater and pos
sloiy greatest. The new camp is a short
fide from Yerington, which naturally
makes this place the pucleus for the
Trade OF the district. Again, people Ell
route to Mountain View will have an op-
portunity to see one of the worlds great
est copper camps -Yerington.
