They WIN OUT BY
Perseverance AND
PLUCK

After working steadily for seven
months out in the desert, and just at the
time when their last pot OF beans had
been cooked and they were about to hant
wo,k In order to earn another grub
stake. to strike ore literally splastered
with gold and assaying into the thous-
alds of dollars a ton, is the story of
Archie Dedmond. Charlie Thrailkill and
Bert Knap, who made the rich strike out
at camp Bovard last week. Just at
time when they were discouraged, and
one might add, disgusted. to uncover
ledge six feet wide. carrying such values,
makes one believe that there is "divin-
ity that shapes our ends" At any rate
they were certainly deserving Of an un-
limited reward, and such has been the
case as they have sold out for neat con-
sideration, and their remaining holdings
in the neighborhood OF the rich find
will enhance their fortune considerably.
Both Thrailkill and Dedmond were in

OF the prettiest picture rock that has
ever been seen in this country for many
day. No sooner had an expert. repre-
senting Tonopah and Rawhide people,
visited the ground than six days OPP
tion for S5. 900 was taken on the ground.
The property consists OF two small irac-
tons and the work done on this prop
erty consists entirely OF location work.
Rock from the ground shows that it was
taken from off the surface. as the moss
can be seen on one side, while the other
side, to use the old expression. is lousy
with gold
II is estimated that about 1900 people
are in the camp already and that lots
taken up last week by squatters are
now selling as high as two and three
hundred dollars a lot. Tent business
houses are rapidly assuming proportion,
and it is said that the place is thriving
mining town already
Many people of Yerington are on the
ground floor of the new camp. among
them holding property in close proximity
to the Bovard camp are: Charles and
Mason Mcleod. Albert Bovard. A. l..
Daniels, George Bovard, G. X. Clark

RESERVATION CLAIMS
LOOK BETTER WITH
development

Development work on Knierim and
sons gold claims, situated on the old
Reservation road, some ten miles north
east of Yerington, is progressing rapidly.
Four men are working on the claims and
as depth is encountered the prospects
look more encouraging. The shaft on
the Red Top No is down IS feet on
ledge of good ore, the width of which
has not vet been ascertained. Clear
across the bottom of the shaft, which is
SKI, good values can be had, and for
some number of days past the miners
have been in ore, which assays fair
values.
On the Crown Point claim, which ad-
Joins the Red Top No. l, a shaft is down
IS feet, and at this depth the ledge has
widened to feet in width, whereas at a
depth of 40 feet the ledge was only 2
feet wide. Good values are being had
from the ledge and it is the intention of
the owners to test the strength of the
ledge at greater depth before cross
cutting is started.
A building for the accommodation OF
the miners has been erected, and several
other improvements toward carrying on
an active campaign of development have
been made in the form of placing in
windlasses, etc. The Messrs. Knierim
and associates are highly pleased over
the prospects of the property, and claim
that no means are to be spared in prov
ing the property.

Mason Pass to
the Front With
Another Strike

Again good reports come from the
Mason pass district. AS result of work
done last week preparatory to sinking a
shaft on property in this district belong
ing to W. l.. Constantine, Frank Smith
and AL Mack a l2-foot ledge was uncov-
cred from which an average sample
across the entire width of the ledge was
$3.50 ton in gold. This find was
made on the Easy Money claim No. 2,
and is only one OF the five claims that
the above parties hold in this section.
This group of claims adjoins the recently
acquired property of o, II. Some, and
also borders on Ed Murphy's ground,
upon which rich strike was made last
week. The formation of the ledge is
lime and porphyry. Six men are to be
put to work Immediately opening the
ground, and it is thought better values
will be encountered as development pro-

The local telephone system changed
hands this week, when ]. l. Wilson
bought the controlling interest in the
company. The new management will be
responsible for all debts contracted for
the operation of the system, and bills
due the old company are payable to the
new management.
An extension of the local telephone
system to the new mining camps Of
Mountain View and Granite is one of the
plans of the new management, and it is
also intimated that considerable improve
ment along the line already established
will be the result of the change.

REVIEW OF PINE GROVE AND MT. GRANT DISTRICTS
Hctive Operations to Begin
In These Localities at Once

Mining operations in the old Pine
Grove and Mount Grant districts. stu
ated about twenty-five miles south of
Yerington, promises to wax actively this
summer. Owing to the mild winter in
that section mining and prospecting to
marked degree have continued all season.
but now that summer is coming on,
more prospectors are giving the region
attention. and the districts are being
more thoroughly explored. This region
lies on the same mineralized belt, which
il is claimed traverses the old Aurora
country on the southern extremity and
the recently discovered Granite and
Mountain View districts on the northern
end. Mining men who have visited the
ground claim that this mneralized belt
can be traced for over so miles and that
the Mt Grant and Pine Grove districts
and the Mountain View district are in
the same mineralized formation as old
Aurora, which has produced her share
Of golden stores in days gone by.
R K. Macleod, who has group of
three claims in the Mount Grant district,
as been in Yerington for several weeks
past awaiting the arrival of two-stamp
mill, which arrived in Yerington last

week and which was shipped out to the
scene of his property Monday. The
mill, although small in size, is to be in
stalled for the purpose Of proving the
value of the property on small scale.
If such operations prove successful and
the development of the property pays for
itself, the value of the property will be
proven, and this test alone will speak
for the region. Mr. Macleod is heavily
interested in the district, having an in
terest in eleven, claims, three of which
he owns outright. He is we'll pleased
with the entire district and claims that

ment many good mines would be the re-
suit. On his group of three claims,
where the mill is to be installed, consid-
cradle work has been done. and as re-
suit four foot ledge has been encount-
cred, which pans good values in free
gold. The ledge crops out on the sur
face i'll several places and it is Macleod s
plan, after little more work has been
done proving the values of the ledge, to

This will be much out of the usual, as
each member of the society is to tell in

a dollar, that is to go into the funds OF
the society. Husbands have been sur
prised during the month to have bills

and will also prove the value of the prop
erty at depth.
1t is also said that the old Petrie prop
erty in this district, which has been
working for number of years and which
has paid its own development, has been
bonded tor $1,000 to eastern capital.
Work continues in the Wheeler mine
with steady production of good ore.
which is treated in the company's MILL
Last week the results of a ten-day's S run
on ore from the mine was brought to
Yerington in the form of two small bars
of bullion. Something over a thousand
dollars was the result of the run. All
this goes to show that the country can
produce when put to the test.
1t is also intimated that +. W. Drum
mond has procured the Wilson mine in
Pine Grove and that active work is to be
started on the property. This mine in
days gone by has produced considerable
wealth, and it was on the account of
water on the lower levels that work was
abandoned. A test to solve the
water question will be made, and if sue
cessful, this mine will again be a pro-
ducer.

WESTERN NEVADA
PROVES BETTER

General Manager Maurice M. johnson
of the Western Nevada Copper company.
on Wednesday received word from the
superintendent of this Yerington prop
erty that he had encountered some very
good results in the 200 east cross-cut.
says Salt Lake paper. From the oxide
zone he has cross-cut 80 feet So far of
pay ore, the ore occurring throughout
that width in the shape of punches and
streaks. The superintendent could give
no estimate as to the other parts of the
Nevada, but on leaving the oxide zone
some time ago the ore assayed IL per
cent copper.
Mr.. Johnson did not attempt to dis
guise the satisfactory character of these
Developments. For several days reports
have been coming to Salt Lake regarding
this find, bnt owing to the absence of
the superintendent Johnson was unable
until Yesterday to receive the facts about
the disclosures. This new find proves
the continuity of the copper ores with
depth, and serves as an index to what
can be expected as work proceeds on
this property. The management is drift
ing to the north on the new find, and
the body when last heard from is hold
ing out splendidly.
The Western Nevada Copper property
is one of the great mines of the Yering
ton district, and the property is thor
oughly equipped with machinery and
funds to prosecute deep work with all
thoroughness and dispatch.

GOOD COPPER GROUND
CHANGES to- OTHER
HANDS

group of eight copper claims were
taken over last week from Gilmore and
Frederick by H. Hamlin, operating for
Reno and eastern capital. The property
is a southern extension of the Wabuska-
Yerington property and is located in the
northeastern section of the Yerington
district.
The property was bonded to these peo-
pie last summer, but it was not until last
week that these copper claims changed
hands for neat consideration. The
people who now own the property have
organized company, known as the Yer
ington-B. c. Mining company, and have
started active work on this group of
claims. .eee
H. Hamlin, the superintendent in
charge of the claims, was in Yerington
Monday and he speaks laudatory of the
entire Yerington district, saying that he
never saw such a large district and so
highly mineralized
These holdings of the Yerington-B. c.
Co. have the same contacts as the Wa
buska- Yerington and carry high per-
centage of copper. A big dyke of iron
gossan traverses the ground and carries
values as high as 80 per cent. copper.
About 200 feet south from this big iron
dyke there is 3-foot parallel lead which
can be traced for some several hundred
feet and from which assays of $50 taus
in gold have been had.
AS yet the possibilities of the ground
have not been tested, but it is the inten-
ton of the present management to fully
develop the property and prove the
value Of the claims at depth. Five men
were put to work this week, and shortly
a hoist is to be erected and probably
power installed. AT present sinking on
the claims will be the principal plan of
development.

That the Mountain View district will
have a custom mill to work its ores
shortly is now almost certainty. A

ii mated that within sixty days the
Mountain View district will be adding
its share of the golden wealth to the

Raise the Moral Standard.

Innocent diversions are quite differ
ent from thuse of an immoral charac-
ter. Any amusement which tends to
demoralize the young should find no
apologist or defender in a christian
community Because other localities
permit such things, is no reason why
Watertown should conutenance them
and lose it's moral sense. No father
or mother who are not strangers to
every emotion of paternal or maternal
regard for the moral well-being of
their children, would approve Of diver
sions which make fol- the debasement
of the young; and those who defend
that which is immoral and evil, have
but slight regard for the higher ideals
which shuud obtain in every COM
munity and which direct the thoughts
of the young to higher and better
things-moral rectitude and social
purity. Our schools and churches are
maintained at large expense to the
taxpayers and individuals to teach
morality, and every influence for the
bad should receive the earnest opposi-
ton a condemnation of each and every
good citizen.
