BUSINESS OUTLOOK
FOR YERINCTON

The HOLIDAYS are over and the usual
stagnation of business is to be expected
and is only the reflex action of the un-
usual activity of the festive season. This
condition does not seem so marked how
ever this year in Yerington, owing prob
ably to the opening up OF several new
enterprises near this city, notably the
Empire-Nevada Copper Company which
has lain dormant for nearly year.
The new year starts with all of our
merchants and business houses in po-
stion to hold their own and take adj
vantage of any new trade that may be
opened, as nearly all the Indebtedness
of our people to outside firms caused by
overbuying during the flush times has
been cleared away aud the business that
ooens up in the future, may be consid
cred rormal and regular The com

they have the utmost confidence in the
future of their property. A few more
shafts like the Wabuska would do more
to prove up the Yerington district than
ten miles of overland tnnnei work.
Manager McDermnttis is known as being
a very conservative mining manager aud
in speaking of the prospects on the Wa
buska property, he says: $50 far as we
have progressed with the development
of the property. the showing looks I'M

shaft to develop our big contact at depth.
My orders are to go to water level. So
far we have encountered no water, but
the ground is now showing some moist
ure and it looks as II another 100 feet
would put US to wster level.
So far we have demonstrated that the
Wabuska is one Of the big properties OF
the Yerington district and will be heard
from in the future in the way of big

Oae of the most promising properties
that is being developed today in the
district is the group of claims owned
by the Yerington National Copper com

the following named claims:

The ELUSIVE
power JUICE

The Truckee River General Co.. has
been in trouble all fall and winter over
low water and frigid weather. Now it is
high water and warm weather. 1t is re-
ported here that two of their main
fumes have been damaged by a rush OF
water caused from warm rains in the
mountsins.
Hopes are entertained that this is the
beginning of the end of electrical troub-
les in this camp. Our town peopleyhave
grievance in the poor lighting service,
but their troubles are insignificant COM
pared with those of the several mines of
the district which have to depend en-
tirely on electrical power for operation,
During the past three weeks the crews
have only been able to work only about
half-time, and this half-time has been at
odd times-a quarter shift in the morn
ing and third shift in the afternoon
power off from to IL p. M, without
notice, on again a. m, off again al
7:3O, on again at 10 m.
Such service as this, the miners say
result in the cost of mining being about
doubled.
Doubtless the power company is rails
ing earth and heaven to get their gene
rative plants going, and it is no use t.
prod them now They are losing NOR
money than the mines. But, we nigh
suggest that the present state of ofair
would indicate sad lack of forethough
on the part of those responsible.

BOTH RUNNING MATES

We recently overheard the remark that
'one copper mine was equal to ten gol
mines" for the benefit of the country.
Well. while we are not knocking
copper and believe that the Yerington
district will some day demonstrate that
there is a solid body OF copper ore un-
derlaying the entire district. a good
paying gold mine that turns the yellow
boys out right on the ground and keeps
them at home and don't pay railroad
charges, smelter charges or refining
charges, comes about as near making
good times in that country as anything
we know of.
That is the way the proposition is

DEMOCRATS WIN

By unfair political methods the
Democrats of Annapolis, Mary
land, won in the local fight by
disfranchising over 1000 Negro
voters under the grandfather
clause. The Democrats of An
napolis may be happy, but they
should not forget that a day of
retribution is coming.
The Bee believes that some of
best and most conservative
Democrats in Maryland are
against the disfranchisement of
the Negro. The day may be dark
for him, but he need have no
cause to dispair.
