NOTHING BUT GOOD
REPORTS

Manager Morris NJ. Johnson of the
Western Nevada Copper company's S
mines at Yerington. SAYS that nothing
but the best kind OF reports are being
received from the property. On tile
500 foot level below the tunuel, a cross
cut was sent through 80 feet of ore that
sampled ~ per cent copper. At that
point the lime made its appearance and
u seemed as though tile width of the ore
body had becii determined.
1t was decided however. to continue
the crosscut for distance and see what
the country i'll that direction looked like,
Manager Johnson having potion that
more ore would be found In this lie
was not mistaken for. after driving a
few feet, the ore came in again snd the
last reports from the mine said that 20
feet Of rich ore had been opened up on
the other side of the lime slip In other
words. the 800 level now discloses an
orc body 100 feet wide that is Of splen-
did smelling grade.
In this respect the Western Nevada
compaily's property is behaving IN much
the same manner as is that of the Mason
Valley company, namely, as depth is at
tanned the ore bodies are expanding and
growing richer with everything to indi- :
cate that The present workings are on
top of one of the greatest deposits of
fine copper ore imaginable.

Nothing Dull Here

We hear the cry of dull times yet
every day teams string by loaded down
with potatoes, loads of pigs are nauled
along squealing, droves OF cattle are
bazed along the highway, all going to a
market somewhere. strawberry plants
are being delivered by the hundred, hay
is ALWAYS on the move, and the hens and
incubators are doing their best to bring
forth broods OF chickens, awaiting or
ders almost before they are out of the
shell Everywhere fields are beng llar'
rowed aud cultivated and grain sown.
With grain - 2s per hundred, and hard
10 get at that, there seems no real toun-
dation for the cry of hard times from
the farmer, with plenty of water ahead
for crops and the farmer makes business
for the Whole community.
