see no reason why the balance of ii e
road cannot be completed as rapidly as
the portion from Wabuska to Yeringotn

The Nevada Douglas for two years
made regular shipments OF high-grade
copper ore to Chicago. II was used
principally in the manufacture Of cheap
iewelry and adornments for home fit
tings such as lamp stands. paper weights
etc. The freight charges alone on these
shipments would pay a nice dividend
The amount OF this high-g above

Deputy Mineral surveyor Hammond
has just returned to Yerington after
making tour of the surrounding dis
tricts and completing the survey and
examination of the Oklahoma Mining
company's group i'll the Mount Grant
district
The Gold Note group, owned by the
Oklahoma Mining company. says Mr..
Hammond, lis the making of one of the
best mines in tile State of Nevada. On
one dump there are so tons of ore
which will average $50 ton in gold,
silver and copper. and near BY a small
dump which averages s400 to the ton
Each claim has a network of veins, and
wherever opened up. twelve places Ill
all, a splendid showing is exposed. The
deepest working is only 20 feet, but at
this depth the vein is strong, well de-
fined and uniformly inineralized. The
ore is concentrating and milling. This
group lies Just south of the Wheeler
Pass at the west base of the north end of
Mount Grant Several tests of the ore
have been made. but on Monday mill
test of 20 tons will be run. The COM
pany has given a lease on the ground
and will receive splendid ROYALTY. A
great deal OF Oklahoma capital is going
into this district, and when the new
wagon road is completed Mount Grant
will be within thirty four miles OF Yer
ington, making it the closest supply
point The district strikes me as one
of the best have ever been in and Yer
ington should. indirectly, derive a great
deal of benefit
