w. C. Peay is in from the Cactus
Springs district, where he has beer
looking after the development OF the
Rocket group of claims, and upon which
much work is being done. The Rocket
company has completed it's bunk. houses,
ETC., and now has a fine building equip
ment, as well as good equipment at ITS
working shaft, which is now a little
over 200 feet in depth. Lateral work
is well under way on the 2OO-foot level,
and while the ledge is not expected for
some distance yet, some very promising
blue quartz has been opened, containing
heavy naturalization. The formation
is highly promising.
Work of sinking a working shaft on
the Mutual group, owned by Peay ana
McCutcheon, has also been started, the
hole now down about 35 feet.
The Seitz brothers, working on the
Davenport Extension group, are sack
ing ore extracted from sinking opera
tions. They have their shaft down 90
feet, and it is following a 16-inch
shoot of ore that is breaking better
than 800 per ton. All that ore is be-
ing sacked and they will soon ave 3
carload shipment of ore ready to go
out. They are now arranging for the
installation of a gasoline hoist. There
is considerable water coming into their
shaft, and this, and the depth they are
gaining, makes present methods of OPP
Grafton rather slow.

SPRINGS DISTRICT
GIVING UP SOME RICH ORE

Cockings is manager, a main working
shaft is being put down by three men,
a depth of 35 feet having been attained.
The Lincoln shaft is going down on
the ledge, and some fair values have.
been showing.
In the Big Wash, near the Lincoln
shaft, excavation in the gravel for
water a few days ago showed the pres
ence of some kind of placer mineral,
and analyses showed that the mineral
is platinum, the assays showing plati-
num as high as 1.52 ounces to the ton.
As platinum is worth more per ounce
by nearly $40 than gold, the find has
excited the operators, and now extern
sive tests and assays of the placer are
being made.
On the Bailey group of claims Carl
son, Dyer and Bailey are sacking ore
from a foot stIinger, at a depth of
lis feet, and have already sent out a
ten-ton shipment that gave satisfactory
returns.
The entire district is looking fine,
and at Camp Rockefeller the new
camp established some time ago, there
is getting to be quite a group of build
ings, a blacksmith shop, etc., and addi-
tions are constantly being made to the
population. All indications are that
the district is to be a producer, and as
vet there has been no TOWNSHIP or other
boom, and no endeavor to start any
excitement. The district is coming up
on it's merits.

Local stockholders of the Mont
gomery Mountain company, owning
valuable property in the Rhyolite vicin-
ity close to the Montgomery shcshcne
mine, have received the following let
ter regarding the reorganization:
"The reorganization committee of
the Montgomery Mountain Mining com
pany has been requested by some of
the stockholders of the old company to
extend the time for subscribing for the
stock in the new company nov being
formed. 1t is the desire of the commit
tee to give all the stockholders in the
old company a chance to participate in
the new company, and rather than have
any of the stockholders in the old com
pany lose their interest in the prop
erty, the committee has decided to ex-
tend the time limit for subscriptions to
June Is, 1910. This is to be the final
limit, and not to be extended again.
"For the benefit Of the stockholders
who have not seen fit to join in the re-
organization, we will state that the
property belonging to the old Mont.
gomery Mountain Mining company was
sold for the benefit of the creditors on
April Is last, being bid in by the trus-
tee. A new company has been formed
and incorporated under the name of
Montgomery Mountain Mines corpora
ton, which has taken over all the prop
erty of the old company. Thus, the
old Montgomery Mountain Mining COM
pany has lost all right and interest in
their property, and it has no property.
"The largest stockholders in the
old company have come in on the plan
as outlined in previous letters. For the
benefit of those who have sent their
stock and remmittances, we will state

The state in the Grimmett murder
trial rested its case shortly before noon

the defense a recess was granted by
Judge Somers until 3 O'Clock to permit
counsel for Grimmett to confer with
j.. G.. Traverse and wife, who arrived

The case of the prosecution was ma
terially strengthened by the testimony
adduced this morning for it was shown
by two witnesses that when the first
shot was fred by Grimmett, Baker, the
victim was moving behind the bar,
away from the defendant and in a
crouched position with head turned
toward his adversary. Baker is report

YERINGTON DISTRICT
TO HAVE GREAT FUTURE

"a new Nevada property that Is
bound to attract great attention is the
Mason Valley mine, and the Yerington
district, in which it is located, Is due to
be one of the big copper districts OF the
country said W. F. Bartholomew, a
Boston mining man and copper expert,
recently, after an extended trip through
the various Nevada copper camps. He
continued:
"Mason Valley has developed about
100000 tons of a 3h per cent to a
per cent sulphide ore to a depth of
only 400 feet. 1t will be a low cost
producer, as it's ground is adapted to
the eaving system of mining. II will
immediately start work on the build
ing of an S00-ton smelter and this
should result in the opening of quite a
rumber of new copper mines IN the
district. Captain De Lamar's Blue
stone and the Nevada-Douglas are only
awaiting smelling facilities to be af-
torded by the Mason Valley company
before starting on a producing basis
"The recent issue of 5 $1,000, 900 con
'ertible bonds by the Mason Valley
company provided the funds with
which to build the plant and an exten.
sve custom ore business will be de
'eloped in addition to the treatment OF
Its wi ores. The company already has
net values in it's mine of three times
the present selling price of its $4,000
snares OF stock and as a completed NUN
ing and smelling proposition 1t will
nave a working capital of $500, 900 casf
after its smelter is built"

splendid shape, and is producing suf6
cient high class ore to keep it's 50-tou
mill busy with two shifts of men. The
company is in such a prosperous con.
dition that it should be able to pay
dividends this year.
"There are two main shafts ON the
property, which have attained a
depth of 500 feet with connecting tun-
nels on the various levels. The miners
are now working in a fine lot of rock,
which runs on an average 800 to the
ton. Already there is sufficient ore
blocked out on those various workings
to keep the mill going steadily for a
year.
"We have just ordered a heavy
pump to use in unwatering the old
shaft, where a great deal of rich ore
will be found. The company is also
figuring on installing an $4,000 cy-
aniding plant for handling the tail
ings, 500-pound samples of which have
just been sent to Denver and San
Francisco, and some are being tested
at home, to ascertain the values in the
old dumps. The company has its own
mill, electric light plant, a $4,000
of water works, and water
which cost 5000, 0O0.'
