YER|NGTON GOLD IS
PROVING UP-.COPPER
IS NONE BEHIND

.. h. Some. superintendent of the
ferington Malachite Copper Co.. is in
the city on company business. bring
ing good word from the newly diseoy-
cred gold districts near the Yerington
section, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
These new camps are Mountain View
and Granite. and both have received
great many recruits from the YER
ington mines. Mr.. Some has been
to both OF the new camps. and while
there is fine lot of rich gold ore
on the surface. he does not believe
that either camp will be extensive
high grade gold ore producers. He
is of the opinion that both will be
milling camps. and milling camps of
importance which is all the better for
the new districts.
But this rich surface ore has at
traeted many leasers, and at the
present time. stated Mr.. Some Sat-
urday, there are over forty leasers
al work, and all are in ore. This is a
splendid showing for such young
section as Mountain View. and these
leasers may turn up considerable
shipping ore yet before finding the
tonnage too low TO send direct to the
markets. Nearly all the lots of
Mountain View have been sold, and
at Granite all the lots in the new
townsite have been disposed Of.
Granite is located right in the gulch,
and Mr. Some says a healthy cloud
hurst would play havoc with Granite
realty interests.
Both camps have all the needful
accessories of new mining camps. in
Guiding stores. saloons and shops,
and the towns have become busy in
remark able short while. Water
has to be hauled for 10th camps.
Not long ago at Mountain View some
mine owners decided to improve a
spring on their ground. well was
drilled which not only developed a
good flow of water, but cut through
thirty-five feet of gold ore which runs
500 per ton. There was no indica-
lions whatever on the surface of this
ore body. and II will be developed at
once.
Mr.. Some came direct TO Salt
Lake from Yerington and the word
he brings from the copper mining
district is fresh and encouraging.
On the Yerington Malachite, of which
he is in charge, the company is work
ing a limited number of miners eX-
ploring the various veins and in sink
ing the main shaft. Among the bust
est mines of the camp are the Ma
son Valley, Nevada Douglas and Blue
Stone. large forces being employed
at each All three of these mines
are showing up splendid results The
Western Nevada Copper company,
he states. has opened magnificent
showing of copper ore in the big tun-
mel. the crosscut showing over thirty
feet of what he terms great looking
ore.
Among the latest developments OF
interest at Yerington was the discoV-
cry of fine ore in the Warrington Cop
per eompany's shaft. This company
is nearing the 400-foot level in the
shaft. and while this working has
had ore before, the present ind Is
the most significant of all for the
reason that Mr. Some deems 1t APP
preaching the logical point where ore
was to he found. The character of
ore likewise is a very significant de-
velopment. The Mcconnell prop
erty is being explored on the 400
foot level. and ore is being blocked
out by the management. Nearly
every property in the camp is being
worked on "A large or small scale. and
conditions generally are picking up.
