Fernley Lands Valuable

As evidence of the high favor in
which Fernley, Lyon County, farm

Two-DoiIar Copper Ore

The Ely ENpositor SAYS: a" Copper
ore carrying eight-tenths of one per
cent of the metal is being mined by the
Nevada Consolidated at Copper Flat,
transported TWENTY-FIVE miles from the
pit to the conceutrator and there treated
at such low cost that profit is being
made by the company. The ore is be
ing put through one section of the con
ceuirator at the rate of 1000 tons per
dav aud OF the sixteen pounds of metal
that each ton contains, on the average,
between eleven and twelve tons are eX-
traCtcd hy the process OF concentrating
and smelling III use at MCGill The
value of the crude ore is about - per
ton on the average, with the price of
copper lowering around Ia cents a
pound. The ore comes from the south
end of the big pit at Copper Flat near
which some extremely high grade ore
has been found. The low grade ore has
been opened up by the work of taking
out the high grade which is the reason
that il can now be handled SO cheaply
that profit results To the COMPANY.

MOUNTAIN VIEW
ORE To Be WORKED

G. W. Wilson, who has a lease on the
Mountain View mine, some twelve miles
northeast of Yerington, started the first
wagon-load of ore to the mill at Nor
dyke the first of this week A 100 ton
lot is to be shipped. This ore is COM
ing from the lower and middle tunnels
of the property, and looks good. Free
gold can be seen III considerable of the
ore and should mill between $40 to $50
to the ton. The run will be COM
pleted i'll about two weeks.
This property has shown some good
returns from ore in the past and the ore
now to be milled ought to equal i'll val
ues that produced before. This old
property will some day make mine
that will cause the natives to set up and
take notice, but it will necessitate the
expenditure of some money and a CAM

Mine AT RAMSEY

Capt. A. II. Mayne, Manager of the
Ramsey Comstock Mining Company, at
Ramsey, was in town Friday of last
week OIL business connected with the
companys interests. This is the COM
pany on which was filed liens by the
miners and etc last fall for. wages, sup
plies and material. Capt Mavne was in
town for the purpose of collecting data
as to the correct amounts due each and
every individual, the property having
been sold at Sheriff 5 sale to satisfy lien
holders. He intends to take over the
property again, clean up the debts, and
start operations. The mine is one of
the best producers in the camp, and
when worked was stopped vein of SIS
ore was in the bottom of the shaft
This company owns its mill also.
The reason for the property being sold
at Sheriff's sale was to clear the title to
the premises, suit having been pending
for some time in the District Court rela-
tive to the ownership originally. which
was decided i'll favor of the Ramsey
ComstoCk Company some few months
ago This sale il is said clears the title
and that is what was wanted by the mine

Carload Of $50 Gold Ore
From Mason Pass

There are those who will tell you
that it is useless to expect to find gold
in this district-th everything will
turn to copper as depth is attained. We
don't know how deep down II ese peo-
pie have been to see what there is in
the ground, but do believe i'll the old
saw, the proof of the pudding is in
the chewing of the sack - Gold is be
ing found in the Mason Pass section of
this district, AS will be seen by the
above heading. r. J. Chapman, who,
with others has bond and lease on the
Carson property, shipped last week to
Silver City a carload of ore for reduc.
ton. He accompanied the ore and
watched the milling of it in the McTigue
mill at Silver City, and the returns for
the 253 tons were little over $50 per
ton. The gold also runs $3.50 per
ounce, which is pretty fine. These are
returns received from the L. S. Assay
office at Carson. This is the second
carload of ore shipped from this prop

FERNLEY-
SURE TO Be BUILT

The Fernley and Northern branch of
the Southern Pacific railway, running
out of Fernley, in the northern end of
Lyon County, is now as assured a fact
as though it were already completed,
saws the Reno Gazette. For some rea-
son or other there has been little pub
licity given to the enterprise, Which is
one of the most important in railroad
years, those years having been filed
with important development
1t is now assured that the new line
will extend either to Portland or to a
connecting Southern Pacific line leading
to that city although the contract calls
for construction only as far as Susan
Vile.
The building of this line would cut off
the distance from the great North TO
Los Angeles by 100 miles or more and
provide easier grades.
The general supposition is that Los
Angeles, being in California and on the
coast at that, is hundreds of miles west
ward from Reno, but a glance at the
map will show that the meridian OF Los
Angeles passes near Winnemucca, max
ing the California seaport and metropo-
lis far eastward from this CITY, on
Meridal lines. Thus the line from
Portland to Los Angeles, in order to be
shortened, must pass through this State.

Hazen, when the Constantine BOYS had
the property. This first carload gave
returns of S42 per ton, SO it will be seen
that with depth the values are getting
better
With the carload recently sent to the
McTigue mill, the Constantines sent in
100 pounds of ore from the same prop
erty, which they had taken out before
turning their option to Mr. Chapman
This batch of ore was worked i'll the

result was as follows: Gold on plates,
S3S6.55; silver, 81 02; failing, S20.67;

Mr.. Chapman is waiting now to hear
from his people i'll the east regarding
future work on the property. and in a
short time will have things running in
business-like way on extensive develop

Some Weight t

Henry Petrie, of Vallejo, Cal was All
arrival here the first of this week on a
visit to his friend Charlie Hobbs, of
Chipmunk Springs. There is nothing
small about MIR. Petrie; he weighs 3S7
pounds and is going to try our climate
and mountain air and fare to reduce
himself to fighting trim.
We believe Mr.. Petrie said his weight
is 5S7, but this reminds us of a story
about an lrishman who had, to decide
wager as to his height, measured him
self, and when asked how tall he really
was, replied: Blamed if | remember;
it was ayther 5-foot 10, or 10-foot S."
To look at Mr.. Petrie it would be guess
as to whether he weighed 3S7 pounds or
7S4 pounds.

COLD PROPERTY REvIV|NC

!. II. Wells and Fred Gale, practical
gold miners and mill men from King

went out TO Mountain View to sample
the Big 20' mine preparatory to taking
lease on the property. They will also
inspect the mill at Schurz, and if proper
terms with the owners can be made, in
tend to repair it and mill the ores of
the mine at that point. The mill is
about seven miles from the mine, on
down hill haul. This is a good move, as
the ore is free milling gold ore, and
docs not require shipment away
