Another step i'll the fight for the Lyon
county seat was taken yesterday when
the representatives of the warning fac
tons agreed that Yeringtons s petition
for an election in form and numbers is
legally correct.
For five days Attorneys Huskey and
Springer and H. Pilkington, city at
torney of Yerington. have fenced legally
with the law firm of Mack & Green snd
{. H. Miller, the latter district attorney
of Lyon, over the right to call an elect

of the county seat, on the strength Of

determined the legal points, and the
representatives of the Lyon county com

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL


In the coming contest for the location
of the County Seat, we wish to direct
your attention to the claims of Mount
House:
Mound House is the only town in the
county having two railroads
Mound House is the only mauufact-
uring town in the county.
Mound House ships more of her own
products daily than all the rest of the
county combined.
Mound House has more DAYS of sun
shine, more gentle breezes, wider streets,
better water, fewer saloons and gamb-
ling houses, less fogs and less conten-
tion among her citizens than any other
community i'll the county.
Mound House is situated about forty
miles from Reno; six miles from Day
ton; six miles from Carson City, the
State capital, and miles from famous
old Virginia City, whose mines made
San Francisco; is OH the " ~ I. and \.
* Z. railroads, and is tine only town in
lhe County to be served by the motor
cars OF the V. & T. railroad.
Mound House ships daily an average
of 10 loaded cars of her own product.
What can you say for the balance of the
county?
Its climate is the talk of the State; its
wide, clean streets. tree from dust or
mud; we'll shaded and well kept lawns;
fruits, vegetables and poultry in aband-
ance. No dogs to disturb your slum-
bers; in fact, everything to make it a
quiet and peaceful home town.
Situated near Mt. Davidson, and with
in view of the famous Sierras, constant
ty laden with that white, frosty sub
stance, from which she draws those
cooling breezes that no other town in
the county can claim; and that famous
old landmark, the halfway House, is
worthy OF miles to see, together with
other attractions that time and space

SLAUGHTERING OF DUCKS

Ike Ostreicher has been busy the past
few days issuing permits for hunting on
the Miller & Lux ranch Early the
morning of the 18th numerous crowds
rushed to different posts along the

SENSATIONAL ORE
IN MASON VALLEY


Upon his return Saturday last from a
two weeks fishing trip in company with
Superintendent A. A. Marsal of the Yer
ington Copper and Ross Thompson Of
Rosslyn fame, Mr.. Fred Flindt, a heavy
stockholder in the Mason Valley mine
had the following to say:
Development, during my two weeks
absence. in the Mason Valley mine has
exposed sufficient ore to cause it to dou-
BILE in value III my estimation
The drifts on No 3 aud No. 1 levels
are continuing in the SAME ore bodies as
when left here. The cross-cuts are
also in the same splendid ore. The val
ues are not only holding out. but the
nch ore body shows stronger signs than
evtr OF going down and sensational ore
is occurring all through it.
On the No. 4 level. which is the 500
foot level, where it was recently stated,
100, 0O0 tons of additional smelling ore
had been proven up. the ore body has
continued TO grow. The breast of this
new drift has been in splendid copper
ore for the past $50 feet. The crosscuts
are each in 100 feet and are still in this
class OF ore. The tonnage is increasing
at marvellous pace. Indeed, il would
be safe to say that three times the ton
mage stated by MIR. Gum. three weeks
ago in Salt Lake City. has been opened
up since then. ~
The drift from the Wine, whic $50
feet below No. 4. must be run some dis
tance before encountering this rich ore.

other place. Never r-the-less il is now in
good stuff and while continuing it, il
will undoubtedly open some valuable
bodies. but the management is becoming
spoiled. Too much picture ore; and
they are neglecting to estimate the i'm
mense amount of money tied up in the
two and three per cent copper rock.

critics III Yerington this trip, but i'm.
agine ! would fud noticeable improve
ment in all OF them. Few people real
ize that the Mason Valley mine repre-
sents several million of dollars and that
process is being perfected for the treat
ment OF its ores which will enable it to
produce copper cheaper than any other
mine know Of y
Mr.. Flindt stated that lie knew little
concerning the proposed merger and if
such movement were still being con
sidered it could not be brought about
until the return of Mr. Thompson from
Europe. He is in hopes the Mason Val
ley management will operate independ-
emily and Immediately commence the
erection of a large concentrating plant
in conjunction with the smelter which
is assured.
Before returning to Salt Lake he will
spend few more days in Nerington
watching the progress of the railroad
and will also spend a week inspecting
his mining interests at Globe, Arizona.

If we do not have nice tobacco wealth
er, we surely have nice weather for
driving, and / have heard of some to-
bacco dealers riding through these to-
bacco districts. But / have heard of
little buying, still we hear of few
sales in this locality, but at a lower
price than the starter of even IA cents.
These lots that were sold were consid-
cred the cream of the crop in their re-
spective locations. There will, ! think,
be quite lively work picking up what
tobacco can be bought for low price,
and without doubt there will be quite a
lot of 10 cent tobacco sold for 10 cents
and perhaps for considerably less mon
ey than that. 1t is in the air that some
of the small growers are getting un-
easy, and when they get that way the
buyers hear of it.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Amherst, Mass: ~ obacco grow rs in
this section will not have an opp rtun-
ity to spend much of this years crop
for Christmas presents, for although
considerable of the crop has been con-
tracted for, the bulk of it is still hang
ing on the poles. Buyers were on nand
early in the fall and wanted our crop
and seemed willing to pay from II to
18 cents, but they want TO see the crop
in the bundle before Iuying the entire
crop. - Cultivator.

tobacco, and none could be taken from
the laths since the cold spell set in.
The packers do not evince any inclina-
tion to buy at the prices asked, from II
to Is cents, nor are the growers any
too anxious to sell. There is wide
difference of opinion as to the kind of
crop that's now in the sheds, the pack
ers claiming it to be the worst grown
in our county for some years, and the
growers affirming that it is as good as
the 1908 tobacco, which was certainly
fine crop. The growers expect good
prices, basing their expectations on the
disappearance of old goods from the
market.
While the packers, generally, may
not care to buy at the prices demanded,
they may be forced into buying by the
trusts and some big manufacturers en-
tering the field. The local representa-
tive of the United Cigar Manufactur-
ers has already bought some crops, but
the prices are not made public. We
know it is fact, however, that grow
ers have refused offers of II and cts.
Rutt & Baker, Landisville, have bought
143 acres of the new crop from Farmer
EForney, near Petersberg, at IL and &c.
Trading in 1908 tobacco the past week
was mostly confined to jobbing. The
sales lately made were at prices be-
tween Is and IT. cents, while much
that is still in the packers hands is
held for 18 and 183 cents. The cigar
industry continues along favorable
lines. New Era.

NEW YORK. Dec. %, 1909.

The 1909 crop was raised under un-
toward weather conditions. With the
exception of the state of Ohio, where
there was too much rain, it anything,
the entire 1909 crop when two months
in the fields was suffering from drouth;
and at the beginning of August both
the farmers and packers were appre-
hensive that with that one exception
above mentioned the crop would be
failure. August showers in all sections
except Pennsylvania ameliorated the
hard conditions, and while the harvest
time had to be postponed, it was still a
harvest of fair proportions. In Penn
sylvania, however, the lack Of moisture
caused the crop to wither in the fields,
the yield per acre being estimated at
about 900 pounds against nearly double
that in normal times.
The buying of the 1909 Wisconsin
started in August and fully seventy per
cent of the crop has been sold. The
binder portion of the crop is excellent,
being thin and leafy, and the percent
age Of BIS is said to be small. In Sep
tember heavy frost blighted a consid-
cradle portion of the tobacco raised IN
the northern districts, and in the early
part of October a cold spell did consid-
erable damage to the tobacco hanging
in the barns The result is that this
years output of Wisconsin tobacco will
be small in comparison with previous
years.
At the beginning of the year there
was in the market considerable por-
ton of the Wisconsin 1906 crop, esti-
mated at $4,000 cases, with large
quantity of 1907. The latter crop found
more ready sale, owing to its advant-
age in price, and holders OF 1906 goods
are generally believed to have disposed
of their goods at sacrifice. The per-
centage Of binders in the 1908 crop was
comparatively small, but the filters in
point of quality are reputed the best
since 1904. The supply of binder ma
terial now on the market is believed to
be inadequate to the needs of the man
ufacturers.

The holiday rush at the factories had
ceased and preparations are on the way
for the annual inventory taking COM

any stock whatsoever for the present,
nor are their mi-ds bent on new invest
