Must Call Special Election

The supreme court has rendered a
decision in the case of the people Of
Yerington against the commissioners of
Lyon county. The question involved
was whether the commissioners did
right in refusing. to consider a petition
presented to them asking for special
election to consider the question of
moving the court house from Dayton to
Yeringtont
) A petition was presented to them,
which was alleged to contain three
fifths Of the electors of the county de-
handing the calling of special cleo
tion. This the board refused to con-
slider as they claimed that the petition
must contain the names of at least
three-fftes of the electors who were
also property holders. The court held
that it was sufficient for petition of
this kind that it contain the names of
three-ffths of the qualified electors of
the county.

cout.e, Attracting Big Min, Operators !,


A well authenticated report has
reached this city to the effect that both
the Cole-Ryan and Guggenheim engi-
neers have made examinations of Con-
tact properties with view of getting
some ground. Since the United States
company has succeeded in tying up a
lot of ground, and has been so well
pleased with the results obtained by its
engineers in exploration work that it
has been tryir to get options on ad-
joining properties, the camp presents a
lively appearance. The report says
that bids have been made for mineral
bearing ground by both the Cole Ryan
and Gnggenheim crowds.
Contact is situated near the Nevada
Idaho line and. is in what is commonly
known as the Salmon ), River district.
The ground has well defined veins of
copper ore. This ore appearing near
the surface is carbonate and oxide,
while the, sulphides are encountered at
the water level. Two lines of trans
portation can be built into the camp,
the one now building between Cobre
and Twin Falls, a branch of the Short
Line, being the one which will proba-
bly, reach the camp first. Another route
from Wells, Nevada, on the Southern
Pacific is also mentioned
The deepest workings in Contact is in
the Brooklyn property and the shaft at
depth af 300 feet shows an 18-foot vein
of copper ore that carries an average of
9 per cent copper. This working alone
is said to show as much as 10, 600 tons of
high grade copper ore. The Palo Alto
property has attained u depth of 900
feet and has ore that assays 81 per cent
copper.
Fifty samples of ore were taken re-
Gently from ores in Contact and the as
say returns showed an average of II
per cent copper. The lowest assay be-
ing f.9 and the highest 1875 per cent. A
considerable amount of ore has been ex-
.tracted by property owners in the cours @
of development work and almost all of
this can be shipped as soon as transpor-
tation facilities are provided.
Most all of the ore developed to date
is of an unusually high grade. This
has caused some doubt to be felt as to
the extent of the deposits in that new
mineral bearing region, yet exploration
to considerable depth is said to have
proven the continuation of the deposits,
and in some cases the product is getting
richer as depth is attained. -Salt Lake
