ATTORNEY LOTHR0P
ON COURT HOUSE
Believes Court Houe Should Not be Moved
For Two Years Then Mason City
Should Get 1t.

Mr.. John Lothrop, prominent at
torney of DAYTON is attending to legal
business in Yerington. Mr.. Lothrop,
just before going to press had the fol-
lowing to say to the Times. The peo-
pie of Mason and Smith valleys are
making a great mistake in trying to
secure the court house for Yerington,
especially at this time. Yerington will
never get it. People who view it in the
proper light concede that it is a great
mistake. In the first place Yerington
needs both sewerage system and
water works. The town is unsanitary.
In the second place when the valley inn
proves sufficient to entitle it to the court
house it will probably go to Mason City.
If the people of this valley insist on
moving the court house, both Smith and
Mason Valleys will again be forced to
become part of Esmeralda County 4"
We were much pleased in the way MIR.
Lothrop expressed himself and we be-
lieve him to be sincere in his statements
and should he succeed in securing the
court house for Dayton we will be
pleased to offer him our congratulations.
but attorney Lothrop is overlooking the
fact that Yerington has nearly $1,000, 600

JUDGE TALBOT PAYS
YERINCTON A VISIT

Before returning to Carson after at
tending the Goldfeld Mining Congress,
Judge Talbot of the Supreme Court Of
Nevada, stopped off at Wabuska and
took a run into Yerington. Sunday
afternoon he inspected some of his hold
ings near Mason Pass and i'll the eve
ming departed for the Capitol. In sub
stance the Judge had the following to
say:
Il was pleased to note the progress
being made on the Nevada Copper Belt
railroad. When completed, it should
greatly aid in the building up of Mason
Valley. Since l was last in Yerington,
| see you have several new two and
three story stone buildings as well as
two new two story brick buildings. ou
have also leveled up your streets and
macadamized the road leading from the
bridge. Considering that all this i'm
provement has been performed during a
time of severe financial depression, it
speaks volumes for the permanency OF
Yerington and Mason Valley

that until very recently Messrs. Gunr

public an opinion concerning the future
of Yerington, but, that they believed in

did announce that the Mason Valley
was no longer a prospect but mine

feet and tremendous ore bodies blocked

Born in Virginia City, Nevada, Feb
ruary goth, 1866, Mary Z. Herrnleben
was married to VIM. G.. La Rue of this
place in 1897, and in his arms breathed
her last September %, 1909, at the home

She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Hernleben and is survived by
her husband, her 10-year-old son, Har-
vey, her mother, her brother Ed. and
her sister Mrs. Annie West, all of whom
with other relatives, neighbors and a
sisterhood of Eastern Star do indeed
drop a tear of the heart over her grave.
In disposition Mrs. La Rue was par

RETURNED

Rev. George w. Beatty returned
from the session of the California An
nual Conference October 7th in good
health having added six pounds to his
avoirdupois during the absence. He
spent week in the Santa Cruz mount
aims on the ranch of VIM. j. Beatty, his
brother, where he bagged two-point
buck thst dressed 100 pounds. He says
there Mas little sport in the killing as
he broke cover but $50 yards distant and
was caught the first shot but it was
more than exercise TO get him out of the
gulch. 1t was on the great slide
made by the quake of 1906, and the dis.
tance perpendicular was 1000 feet and
1000 longitudanally. The distance by
trail around the slide was three miles to
reach the home ranch, so, after a con-,
sultation we decided to climb bnt never
would have succeeded had not a nephew
who had Just returned from three year
mining trip in Nevada been of the party
and did the ''toting" of the carcass.

Mr.. {. L. Hayes of Boston and John o.
Brigham of Providence, R. L., who are
heavily interested in the Nevada Calu-
met Co. Such good reports having been
coming from the superintendent for the
past two months, that they decided to
see for themselves. 1t is their opinion
that the mine looks great deal better
than the superintendent reports. At
the 4S0-foot level the whole bot tom of
the shaft is in ore of mighty good
commercial grade Some three feet
this ore will average Is per cent and
better in the red metal and about $500
in gold. How wide this body of ore
will be, can only be determined by
cross-cutting. 1t is the intention of the
management to begin crosscutting at the
500-foot level. Taking into consider
alton the extent of this same ore body
as demonstrated on the 500 foot level,
1t will be as large body as is shown
by any property in the district COM

Douglas, Mason Valley and others and

suit against Frank r. Hagenbarth for a
commission of $500, 900 and interest, for
the sale of the Ludwig mine at Yering-
ton, arrived Sunday. Both gentlemen
attended the mining congress at Gold
field and believe it has done much
towards stimulating the mining indus
try. Capt. Caine, when last in Yering-
ton, purchased large interest in the
Yerington Copper company, also in the
Wheeler gold mine, thirty miles south
of Yerington. Capt. Caine expressed
surprise at the splendid showing in the
Yerington Copper Il had no idea, =
he said, I'VE had SO much rich ore.

suit my associates and arrange for ex-

veloped for depth of 400 feet. On this

that in another sixty days the mill will
