In Mason Copper Country

e. H. Whitaker, a real estate and
newspaper man of Yerington, in
speaking of the new copper belt rail-
road is quoted as follows:
1.-The work on the new road has
been started and will be in full blast
in another week. The road will run
from Wabuska to within half a mile
of Yeringon, and from here into
Buckskin and other points where the
big copper mines are located.
This portion of the road will
be built first and later the road will
be extended to Wellington and
through the fertile Smith Valley. 1t
will also connect directly with YER
ington.
1T will take more than $4,000
to build the first link of the road as
there are at least two big bridges
necessary but after the road is in
operation it will soon pay for itself
in hauling ore from the rich Blue
stone, Ludwig and Nevada Douglas
mines, and it will not be long before
the road extends through the entire
valley.
This means much for Mason and
Smith Valley and will tend to make
Yerington one of the big cities of Ne
vada.
The mines of Yerington are now
producing thousands of tons of cop
per and have many thousands of

that it is surmounted with a splendid
copper dome, in which are several
tons of the metal which has made
the Ely district famous and which
is almost entirely responsible for
gain of over a million dollars in the
White Pine county assessment roll
for this year. Throughout the build
ing the copper idea has been car
ried along with ingenuity and con-
s%ideration creditable to the spirit
which prompted this recognition in
Ely of the big industry. Doors are
copper sheathed, while chandeliers
and other fixtures are also of the
metal. The effect is very beauti-
full and gives a second demonstration
to the visitor to the district of the
value of the metal as a building ma
terial and for ornamental purposes.
The first of these impressions is re-
ceived at the beautiful Nevada North
ern depot in East Ely, where the first
thing that greets the eye of the ar
rival in the district is an immense
copper kettle, mounted on a pedestal
made from the varied grades of cop
per ore found in the camp. 1t is a
thing of great beauty and serves the
purpose of Immediately impressing
the visitor with the fact that he Is
in the widely famed copper camp
which the Ely district meritoriously
is.
