Mayor Smith, who extended on the part
OF the city of Yerington a hearty well
come to the visitors in an impromptu
speech, short but effective. In his talk
he particularly mentioned that this city
was here surrounded with highly i'm

with proper development there would
be no need for those engaged in mining
to supply themselves with foodstuiis
from abroad, no matter what proportions

in short talk, endeavored to show the

]. S. GEOLOGICAL
REPORT

The following is taken from the latest
issue of the United States Geological
Survey and was written by c. G. Yale:
Mason district-The principal point Of
interest in this camp at Yerington was
the taking over of the Ludwig Copper
Company (the principal producer In
1860 by the Nevada Douglas Copper
Company. The Ludwig mine continued
to produce ore under the new manage
ment and some ore was also shipped
developed by vertical shaft 400 feet
deep and with As degree incline from
the bottom of the shaft ESQ feet deep.
The Douglas mine has several vertical
shafts from 40 to 200 feet deep and a
tunnel $50 feet long. The ore shipped
in 1907 was high grade carbonate ore.
A small lot of silver lead ore was shipped
from the Emerson mine. The mine of
the Western Nevada Copper Company
has now tunnel 800 feet long and an
otl er 1000 feet long. Development work
was performed by the Mason Valley
Copper Company, the Mcconnell Min
ig Company, the Nevada Bonanza Cop
per Company, the Yerington Consoli-
dated Copper Company and the Yering-
ton Ironsides Copper Mining Company.
The Yerington Copper Company is down
5S4 feet The Yerington Malachite Cop
per Company started a three-compart-
ment shaft and sunk l42 feet in 1907.
The mine is equipped with compressor
and hosting giant.

wv )ited them.
The guests and club members sat
down and broke bread together" amid
much good fellowship and merriment
After dinner souvenir photographs were
taken and exchanged by members of
the visiting party and the club after
which the autos loaded their passengers
and flew to catch the train.
Altogether it was an occasion of great
pleasure for the business men and people
OF Yerington to personally meet some of
the investors so materially aiding in the
development of our mineral resources.

Miss Ella Pursel, who has been en-
ployed at the Gallagher district school
during the past term, has resigned her
position to accept one in Alameda County
Cal She will be succeeded by Miss
Kenny of Fredericksburg, Cal. AL
though her trustees and pupils regret
losing Miss Pursel, they did not wish to
stand in the way of an offer so much in
the nature of an advance as this. Miss
Pursel leaves for the Bay Thursday.

though brief talk addressed to cooper
alton between the mining and farming
industries in this section. He enlarged
upon the Mayors idea of the importance
of reciprocity between the two growing
institutions, mining and agriculture, so
closely knit together here.
Mr.. Berryhill OF Des Moines, Iowa,
followed, and further enlarged upon the
remarks already made and cited in
stances of where failure to cooperate
had resulted disastrously to both miners
and farmers. He also. in his vigorous
way, paid some neat compliments to the
enterprise displayed in Yerington, par
ticularly noting our substantial business
structures and large amount of cement
sidewalks.

pay taxes before they ask for ton much
recognition We do not take it that
they are spending their money for fun,
or with the philantrophical idea of bene
fitting the county alone. They are spend
ing their money with a view to making
more just what everybody in Yering-
ton had done when he built house or a
store building. or put in stock OF goods
of any description. The only difference
is that the townsite people have been
fortunate enough to have money where
with to go ahead and make improve
ments and the nerve to spend it, while
the people of Yerington are not over
burdened with wealth and have been
slow to take advantage OF the opportuni-
ties offered to make their town better
than it is.
There is not much doubt in our minds
that the citizens of the county will take
the sensible view of this school question
aud vote for Yerington to have the
school While the question will cost the
county some money it may he lesson

her hustling clothes on and buttoned

KAFFIR CORN PRODUCES FINE PROFIT.
Farmer From Northern Portion Of Randall Coun-
ty Shows Good Results From
Field Of Kaffir.

People who live in this section
of the state are not surprised
when they hear of good results
from any particular kind of feed
or grain here for they are used
to such reports but some of our
northern friends are still skepti-
cal about some of the products.
We have a farmer living in the
northern portion of this county
who desired to see what an aver
age crop of kaffir corn would
bring and to that end John Boul-
ware planted one hundred acres
of land in that crop this spring
and gave it moderate attention
such as an average farmer would
give in order to ascertain just
what would be the result.
Mr.. Boulware has just finished
threshing and marketing the
products from this one hundred
acres and he gathered and
threshed a little over forty four
bushels per acre ard at the price
received, 30 cents per bushel,
it returned over 5000 per acre.
Besides this he has the fodder
from the corn and still in addi-
ton has one of the finest places
imaginable for hogs to run on
until the time comes for the
spring planting.
The seed was heavy and plump
and weighs more than fifty
pounds per bushel. 1t clearly
demonstrates that the raising
of such a product is certainly
profitable cause for the farmer.
We understand that the crop
was plowed only once after it
was planted. Mr.. Boulware is
a good farmer and would have
given it a more thorough cultiva-
ton had it not been his purpose
to see what an average cultiva-
ton would do.
With kaffir corn producing
feed that will make steers which
have been fattened upon it bring
six cents per tc"nd upon the
market it is no wonder that Ran
dali county is prospecting.
