MAMMOTH CONTRACT
-g--,ye.. OF DOUGLAS
Mines Actually Demonstrate Vein for
Many Miles Through the Coun-
try at Ycrington.

J2RlnS the NeFdda-DOOSlnS MINING
ccmpany's property as 2 basis, there
is a contact actually demonstrated
for some 10 or IL miles in length,
says the Yer.ngton Times. On the
NeYada-Douglas company'S property
this contact is some 5000 feet in
width. Development having attained
a depth of 700 feet, where the ore
body shows TO be of richer grade
than on tho ilevels above. The writer
In company with one Of the best cop.
per experts, recently made visit OF
inspection to this property The
property shows weary large fissure
cutting up through the bedding planes,
Above the 4001oot level the assure
shows the copper content TO be more
or less leached,S and the copper TO
fissure cutting up through the bed
ding planes next to the line, forming
the carbonate or jewelry ores.
Below the 400-ioot, level the values
are concentrated in the big assure,
forming an ore body 81 feet in width
of 4 first class commercial grade.
There 3is exposed in these lower
workings thousands OF tons of a
smelling grade Of ore. The Nevada
Douglas is now IN position to fur
nish a smelter of large capacity with
ore for generations to come. Produc-
tion on very large scale only awaits
the building of smelter and railroad
transportations TO become dividend
paying property of large proportions
as an investment.
North of the Nevada Douglas prop
erty and immo diately adjoining is the
Yerington Central group This prop
erty has been developed TO such an
extent as tc show they have the same
contact as the Nevada.DouGlas.
Found at Queen.
Immediately adjoining on the north
is the Nevada Copper Queen com
pany's property. Two shafts sunk to
a depth of 200 feet show a continua-
tion OF the big Nevada Douglas con-
tact
Some two and half miles north Of
the Nevada Copper Queen is the AL
bany group A shaft 200 feet deep dem
onstrates the continuity Of the great
Nevada Douglas contact At this
depth GOO feeD the workings on the
Albany show large, well defined ore
body.
Some two miles north of the Albany
is the Portland group. owned by Kier-
nan OF Portland. and associates,
among whom Is the son OF former
Vice-President Fairbanks Under the
able management Of Superintendent
Wishart a great amount of work has
been done The greatest depth at
tanned being 200 feet. A very large
body of orc having been opened up,
and the Nevada Douglas contact dem
onstrates to such an extent that the
owners are now equiping the property
with a large plant Of mining machin-
cry capable OF developing to depth
OF 900 feet.
About two miles north of the Port
land Is the Nevada Calumet, the prop
erty that has made quite a stir In
the north end Of the district A shaft
400 feot in depth has opened this
great Nevada Douglas contact and
demonstrated that II is carrying large
bodies of commercial ore All credit
is due Superintendent Stacey for thus
actually demonstrating the continuity
OF the company
Demonstrated for Mllos.
AS 1t Is now demonstrated this big
contact is sure enough one for 10
or II miles IT. length. In every In
stance. where intelligent work has
been done along this contact, II has
made another mine There has abso-
lutely been no failure along this great
ore carrying contact, In each and
every property success has crowned
the efforts of the intelligent miner.
Every day development Is demonstrate
ing the great length and value of this
big contact. We do not believe that
any mining district in the west can
equal II in extent and richness of ores.
The Yerington district is on the
map TO stay. a mining district without
a failure.
