Craig Catterson, who is in the livery
business and mining at Rawhide, is in
Yerington this week and reports rich
strike in a new mining district, II miles
from Schurz and between that place and
Rawhide.
The strike was made by judd Terrill
and Geo. Pollinger, who are partners of
of Mr.. Catterson. Only little work on
the surface has been done so far, but an
assay which is believed to represent the
average value of the ore, gave returns of
S96 to the ton i'll silver The mineral
lied zone is apparently not extensive,
the ledge from which this ore was OBJ
tanned being the only likely looking one
in the vicinity, but if the values hold out
there will be at least one good mine.

COAL MINES IN NEVADA.
Would Prove More Profitable Than
Most Gold Mines.

Much interest is being awakened in
some coal prospects near Coaldale in
which F. S Lamberson and Mark Shaw
OF this city are interested. Coal or near
coal has been found i'll that vicinity at
different times, but up to date no first
class quality has been developed. How
ever it is said that the prospect in which
Messrs. Lamberson and Shaw are inter
ested has coal of good quality and COM
mercial use.
The following from the Carson News
tells of another coal strike which also
gives promise of making good:
'Chas. Way and AL Karge returned
last night from their trip TO Mt. Grant
range where they are interested in coal
mine that promises to be one of the big
gest things Nevada ever had.
The property is situated Is miles
northeast of Sweetwater, in what is
known as Coal Valley.
THE ledge is 80 feet wide at the pres
ent time, and can be traced 1000 feet.
The coal is of splendid quality,
containing considerable OIL 1t is be-
lieved that the value and the quantity of
coal will increase with the depth.
Two men have been left on the
property to continue the work, and be-
fore long Nevada will be able to chroni-
Gle the fact that another great coal Sec
ton has been opened up.
Mr.. Way brought several fine speci-
mems and they are on exhibition at the
News Office, where they are occasioning
a great deal of interest to passers-by,
who realize what this discovery will
mean to the entire state "

THEY HAD BUM "cHuFFER." !"
Auto Party Had Hard Time Trying to
Make Mason.

There was a dance at Mason Wednes
day night and four of Yerington's bellies
and eight of her beaux left here shortly
after eight O'Clock to join i'll the festivi-
ties. They chartered all auto and were
going to do things in style.
But they must have had bum "chuf-
er, ;" or carried hoodoo with them. or
something, for they didn't get fair
start when things began to happen. The
way that auto would break down and
the engine go on strike was some
thing awful, as Mabel would say
Sometimes it was one thing that both

Three of the fellows didn't seem to
care at times and at other times they
seemed to care suspiciously much-too
darn much. The other five who weren t
''on'-we mean Just the other five
they were just as busy as wet hens on a
hot griddle But they didn't know, ap-
parently. that a car can't go with the

To make a long story short, it took
the crowd over four hours to get within
quarters of a mile of the Creamery
and at that time i'll the morning they
realized that the dance in Mason would
be over. They managed to get back to
town and had good supper; and all
were happy, even if the dance was
missed.
Strangely enough the good supper fav-
orably affected the auto also, for when il
was over there was no more trouble with
the machine and it was run up and down
Main street at great rate.
The fellows were: Geo. Pringle, y. II

Max Junshandel Loses Out.

In District Judge Ritchie's court at
Salt Lake last week the suit of I. +.
Cain and Max Junghandel against F.
Hagenbarth, to recover 500, 900 alleged
to be the balance on the purchase price
of mining property in Nevada, was dis
missed without prejudice upon motion
OF the plaintiffs. In District Judge
Lewis court the first of the year. Cain and
Junghandel got judgment for approx
imately Sl15,000, one of the biggest
judgments ever recorded i'll a mining
case i'll Utah, but the Supreme court re-
versed the judgment and remanded the
case for new trial The dismissal of
the suit Friday leaves the plaintiffs in a
position to bring a new suit. but whether
they will do so is uncertain. Cain and
Junghandel bought an option to purchase
the property in question from the Lud-
wig Copper Mining Co, for 81 900, 900,
and before the option expired sold their
rights i'll the claim to Hagenbarth, who
advanced SIS, 900 before examining the
claims. After he investigated the prop

TOWNSHIP CROWD AND DAYTON
ties SEEM TO Be POOR LOSERS

transfer the seat of government from
Dayton to Yerington, has now entered
upon its last stages, two assemblymen
having been selected last week Tues
day who are acknowledged Yerington
partisans, and the state senator, who is
holdover, being by location of resi-
dence an advocate for the change.
Therefore with solid Legislative dele
CATION il stands to reason that on the
face of the situation, that Dayton and
the southern end of the county have
waged game but losing fight, it being
foregone conclusion that the next leg
islature will grant the desired statute
changing the county seat, an action that
has numerous precedents.
But to conclude that southern Lyon
county will now be content to abide by
the result OF the election, brought about
by sheer weight of numbers. is a mis-
take if the present plans are carried
through to a finish. Leading citizens of
Dayton, Silver City and Mound House
are said to have had several informal
conferences, and it is probable that a
little later, move will be made to have
that portion of the county in which
these towns are located and including
Sutro and Carson river valley To the
south partitiened off, either into Storey
or Ormsby county, a majority of those
interested apparently favoring Storey
county on account OF its superior geo
graphical location and close proximity
to Dayton. and other favorable consid-
erations. The Storey county legislative
delegation will no doubt be sought 20
lend their aid to this movement, which
is apparently in the interests of this inn
mediate locality, welded together so
closely bv commercial and other ties
The merging of the southern portion of
Lyon with Storey would create an en-
larged county whose lines would prove
advantageous to all concerned, and by
property end of the proposition, claims
are made that by such a move Dayton
and other towns would have practically
the same tax rate as now by going in
with Storey, and it would not be disa-
ageeable to Storey taxpayers to be on
the same basis as Lyon at the present
time. Southern Lyon people do not
view with particular enthusiasm being
obliged to stand under heavy bonded
Indebtedness for new court house in
Yerington.
1t is evident that the real fight has
only just begun and in the divorce pro
ceedings that Dayton people and others
in that section now propose to institute
for what they believe to be their mutual
interests, facts and figures are being
moulded together, and it is believed
that the campaign will soon be under
way for presentation of same to the peo-
pie and the incoming legislature.

of Rawhide are looking good, but the
camp is quiet. He reports that the
Kearns No. lease on the Queen is ship
ping steadily to the Queen mill and
keeping it busy. The Black Eagle is
mine also, he says, but the values in the
ore cannot be saved by the Queen mill.
A hundred ton lot was recently run
through but the results were very unsat-
isfactory.
Mr.. Catterson says that the Hydro
Electric Co. s power line will be furnish
ing the juice for the camp by the middle
of January. This line runs from Lundy

OF this enterprise may be gathered from
the fact that they will use | 200 tons of
