JOHNSON WILL VISIT
YERINCTON

Morris M. Johnson, chief engineer on
the Newhouse staff and general manager
of the Western Nevada Copper COM
pany' mines at Yerington, expects to
leave for Nevada today. After visiting
Tonopah and some of the adjacent coun-
try, he will go over to Yerington and
size up conditions. 4.
1t will be remembered that the west
ern Nevada, Mason Valley, Yerington
Malachite and several other properties
in the district met the demands of the
Miners Union for advance in paw with a
prompt order to close down This hap
pened three or four months ago, Just
after the chief properties had installed
compressor and power drill plants, had
erected buildings and otherwise got
things i'll shape for vigorous and lively
campaign of development. No attempt
has since been made to do anything, not
withstanding the fact that the companies
are all well financed add particularly the

FREE GOLD IN SHAFT AT
Pine GROVE

A. M. Wishart returned to Yerington
this week from Pine Grove where he is
operating a lease on the Black Horse
mine. With him he brought quantity
of quartz well sprinkled with free gold.
He reports that his men have broken
into an ore shoot at the bottom of the
shaft which is in the nature of a good
sized vein, showing gold in the free for
its entire width
The Black Horse is one of the original
locations of the Pine Grove district. 1t
had history of big production up to a
few years ago, when work was aband-
oned for lack of funds to prosecute
further development. 1t was never
mined in workmanlike manner. In
several places caves-in have occurred
during the period of idleness, but the
intention is to remove the dirt from the
workings affected and to open up the
estate systematically.

HELLER is COMING TO
INSPECT THE GREAT
BLuESTONE

Superintendent Week OF the Bluestcne
returned Wednesday afternoon from San
Francisco, at which place he spent the
holidays.
Mr. Weeks return to camp was char
acteriZed by the resumption of opera
tions in the experimental electrolytic
plant al the mine. Thursday morning
the electric current was turned on and
the two new motors, but recently in
stalled, started. They worked to the
entire satisfaction of Mr. Week
his week the force of electricians that
has been employed at the company's
workings for the past several weeks con-
cluded its labors. Everything is now in
readiness 10 resume upon magnificent
scale, the mine having been equipped
with a thoroughly modern plant, includ-
ing a 500-horse power compressor.
Results OF the tests now being made
in the eectrolytic plant are awaited with
the keeuest interest. There is every
reason to believe that they will be eni-
nently satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned. Tests made in the past were
quite successful, on account of which
the company burned a great quantity of
brick to be used in the construction of
its mammoth plant, which will undoubt-
edly be a realization of the immediate
future.
In the process that is being exper-
imented upon, Superintendent Week has
played a most important part While
the manner of treating the ore is not a
new one, Mr.. Week has made many inn
provements which will accrue to the
benefit OF his people
NJ. ]. Heller, the eminent engineer,
who secured the property for himself
and Captain Del.amar, is expected to
arrive in Yerington from San Francisco
early the coming week His trip may
result IN orders for immediate Tesump-
ton of operations. At all events, much
interest attaches TO his forthcoming visit.

GOLD IS FOUND IN THE
HEART OF The
DISTRICT

While there is not the slightest doubt
that Yerington will attain to its greatest
fame on account of its wonderful depos-
its of high grade copper ore, it is never
theless a fact that the production of
gold will play no inconsiderable part.
During the years that have elapsed
between the period of the first discov-
cries of copper and the sudden entrance
of Yerington into the limelight of red
metal camps, little if any attention has
been devoted to searching for gold
Events of the past few weeks have
proven that had the same energy been
expended in prospecting for the precious
metals as for copper. the district would
unquestionably have been we'll along in
its d-producing era.
The latest find to attract no end of
local attention was made public this
week. On the Red Bird claim, owned
by VIM. Richards and others, two we'll
defined veins have been uncovered car
rying splendid values in the yellow
metal. The larger of these two leads is
2H feet in width, average samples from
which returned gold value of S158. 20
The other, Is feet from wall to WALL
assayed $3.50 in gold per ton.
For some time past Mr.. Richards and
his associates have been showing speci-
mems of gold bearing quartz which they
claimed were found in the main ore belt
made famous by the discoveries of cop
per. That they saw fit to keep the exact
locality of these finds secret until the
present time is made plain by the fact
that they had not found the ore body
from which the specimens came, which
were float. Now, however, since the
locality of the ledge has been ascer-
tanned, there is no further reason to
keep the find from the public.
1t is the intention of the owners to
open up the estate at once with a view
to placing it upon producing basis. In
the event that the values hold out at
depth, they cannot fail to meet with
| success

NEW FIND IN
THE LUDWIG
WORKINGS

Tuesday morning Walter c. Orem.
manager of the Nevada Douglas Copper
company, received telegram announc-
ing new find of extremely fine copper
ore on the 550-foot level of the Ludwig
portion of this Yerington acreage. The
message announced that the entire face
of the south drift averages IL per cent
red metal. Mr.. Orem states that this ID
the farthest drift to the south on the
$50 level of the Ludwig, and is in that
portion of Ludwig territory generally
considered heretofore as the hanging
wall country.
This new find is most significant In
every way. In the first place 1t demon
strates on another portion of the Ludwig
group, as has been shown in numerous
other instances as development work has
progressed, that the Ludwig ores grew
better and richer with depth. The man.
agement knows that this chute will ex-
tend upward from the $50 level in prac-
tically the present form for at least $50
feet, judging from lessons learned in the
past. And from the way the body is now
showing itself, it is certain that below
the s5O-foot level is another great and
rich copper ore body which will be avail
able for the efforts of the company. In
opening up such rich territory as the
$50 level has shown itself to be, the Ne
vada-D Douglas management is bringing
resources into sight at mighty crafty
ing clip.
Mr.. Orem received the settlements
Tuesday of the last car of ore from the
Ludwig, ii being like all the shipments
this year from this mine, the result OF
nothing but development work. The ore
averaged 20,72 per cent copper. The
record of this company has been splen-
did one during the year just closed, and
with the perceptible clearing up of the
copper situation, this company finds it.
self in ideal shape to meet the new year.

Mountain View Records One of the Greatest
Strikes in History Of Western Nevada

doubtedly the greatest ever recorded in
this particular section from gold stand
point and one of the best in the entire
State.
A person unfamiliar with the ore
would most likely pass it up as worth
less. 1t resembles very much volcanic
ash or pumice stone. A panning, how
ever, will convince anyone of its worth.
While the metal is not visible to the
naked eye, it contains gold in great
quantity. The ore has been classified as
silica and sulphur.
This remarkable find can not fail to
bring Mountain View into popular favor
The adjoining properties have equally
strong surface showings, which admit of
the conclusion that the district will be
represented by several producing mines.
The country bears all the surface indi-
cations of producer of the precious
metals. The ground for a wide scope OF
country shows tellurium stain, in fact,
tellurium was found some time since on
the Shirley c. claim, adjoining the
scene of the big strike.
Thad Hoppin, who is thoroughly fa-
miliar with Goldfield and its mines, hav-
ing been employed in the great gold
camp for quite lengthy period in re-
sponsible positions, states that the pan
nings he made from the Wilson Gold
Mines company's ore were better than
ever he saw in Goldfeld with very few
exceptions.
Mountain View will likely take on a
genuine boom as a result of the discov-
cry. 1t will stimulate activity there to
such degree that town will spring up
as have others in regions less meritorious.
Nevada, therefore, offers another
camp to the world to bid for honors.

DIR. w. M. Cavano, of Los Angeles,
a capitalist who couples mining with his
profession and man eminently success
full in both, arrived in Yerington the
first of the week enroute to his holdings
at Pine Grove.
DIR. Cavano is owner OF the Link
group of claims, which adjoins the we'll
known Wheeler acreage. 1t is very
promising estate, which bears all the
ear marks of making into mine with
development. 1t is his intention to
form strong company at an early date
and open up the property at depth. $
In an interview with Times repre-
sentative, DIR. Cavano said he believed
the Pine Grove section would outdo all
previous efforts in the near future. The
district has record of production rnn-
ming we'll up into the millions with the
deepest workings but so feet beneath
the surface. In the opinion of the doc
tor the main ledge has never been en-
countered. He believes it can only be
encountered at depth and expresses The
opinion that when found it viii prove
sensationally rich in the yellow metal.
While here DIR. Cavano inspected the
Rockland mine. While he gave out no
information on this subject, it is under
stood he visited the property in the in
terest of southern California capitalists
who are anxious to acquire title.

Marriage.

1t must be admitted, even by those
who do not belong to the Roman Cath
olic church, that the edict promulgated
or Easter Sunday was sadly needed
1t was not new rule or new ecclesias-
tical law. but merely reiteration of
an old one, and it's tendency was to
make marriages honorable. If practic-
ed everywhere it would put marriages
upon higher plane than that upon
which they rest in this country.
The church which issued the edict
referred to tolerate no divorces. It
holds that when two are married they
are married until one or the other dies.
Whatever may be thought by those
not of the Roman Catholic faith with
reference to some of the rules laid
down IN this edict, they will recognize
one fact, which is that the divorce
courts would have little to do, and
there would not be so much need of
uniform divorce laws, if these or even
more drastic regulations were neces-
sary to validate marriage. Altogeth-
er too lightly is the marriage contract
considered, and altogether too easily
may it be broken.
The result of this lack of respect or
OF reverence for the institution upon
which rests all true homes and true
family life, is seen in the thousands,
the tens of thousands of divorces, and
the immediate remarriage of one or
both of the parties.
The vast number of divorces, and
their constant ratio of increase, have
brought intelligent, moral people to the
conclusion that something must be done
to put check to this vice that is un-
dermining the home and putting a pre-
MUM on infidelity. The idea is grow
ing that the guilty party in a divorce
case should be made to suffer; that
this crime against marriage should in
volve punishment that would tend even
to make the Pittsburg millionaire and
the sons of the great railroad magnates
hesitate long before seeking divorce.

"Fother of Baseball" Dead.

Harry Chadwick died a few days ago.
The announcement does not convey
much to the mind of the average man,
but it does to the mind of the man who
is "daffy" on baseball. Chadwick, who
was eighty-two years old when he died,
was the man who evolved the game of
baseball from the old game of ''round-
ers. Although an Englishman by
birth, he was an American by adop-
tion. and under his guidance and inspi-
ration baseball became the American
national game. The Joplin, Mo-, Globe
speaks of him in language that breaths
poetry, and to date no prettier tribute
has been paid to the dead athlete The
Globe says: ''The biography of Harry
Chadwick is, of itself, history of base
ball. The players, the politicians, the
polemists of the game, he has seen
them appear. grow mighty, and vanish.
Seemingly he had become one of the
eternal fixtures of baseball affairs, for
the seasons waxed and the seasons
waned, and Time dropping her gar
ments of grief, for the dead year ar
rayed herself in the sprightiy green

the seventies slowed his step and frost
