f.. J. Rule, mining man who has
been confined to the hospital in Yering-
ton for some weeks past with Bright s
Disease. crossed the Great Divide last
Saturday night Mr.. Rule was one OF
the first locators in the camp of Buck
skin and has returned here annually
to look after his property. He was as
sociated with X. X. Spiva in what are
considered some very promising pros
poets. Mr.. Rule was a native of Cali
fornia, aged 55 years. He was an Elk,

ACTIVITY AT
DOUGLAS MINE.

There are twenty-five men now ein-
ployed at the Nevada Douglas property,
and letter received in Yerington this
week from General Manager McVichie
states that the force will be gradually
increased so that by the first of next
July there will probably be two hundred
miners at work in the mine. The work
being done is i'll the nature of putting
the property in shape to produce ten
thousand tons of FIVE per cent copper
ore per month, according to the con-
tract the Nevada Douglas Co. has with
the Mason Valley Smelter Co. Accord
ing to contract this ore must begin mov-
ing by the first of July next. therefore
it is presumed that the smelter is going
to be ready to handle ore about that time
and that the Nevada Copper Belt road
will be completed to the mine on or be-
fore that date.
Mr.. McVichie, the eminent mining
engineer, who is interested in the Ne
ada-Douglas and the Copper Belt road,
has resigned his position as General
Manager of the railroad in order to de-
vote his entire attention to the mine.

PHILLIPS, FORGER, CAUGHT.

T.. G.. Phillips, the man who is ac-
cused of forgery, and who skipped out
of the townsite up the river last week,
was caught i'll Nina last week Thursday
by Constable Christensen of that place.
1t is reported that Phillips made things
interesting for the officers in Nina dur
ing his brief sojourn in that burg. In
some manner Phillips managed to get
out of the steel tank in the Jail m which
he was confined but the officers soon re-
captured him. Last Saturday Deputy
Sheriff Fat" Simpson, of Wabuska,
brought Phillips back to the scene of
his depredations where he waived pre-
limnary hearing and was brought to
Yerington and placed in Jail for safe
keeping over night. Sunday Phillips
was taken to Dayton, where he will be
kept in confinement until the grand jury
of Lyon county meets.

FARMING NEAR BUCKSKIN.

w. II. Burton, who was in from Buck
skin this week, reports that lots of land
is being taken up just south of Buckskin
for farming purposes. This land lies
between the north end of the dry alkali
lake in Smith Valley and the camp of
Bucks skin. 1t has been demonstrated
that artesian water sufficient for irriga-
ton purposes can be obtained on the
land to the south of this alkali flat and
Joe Meyertholen has well down 92 feet
on his land to the north of the flat that
is flowing a fine stream. MIR, Burton is
working on anther well north of the flat
which at depth of lao feet is giving
evidence of proving gusher. Should it
prove that this land can be irrigated by
artesian wells quite thriving little ag-
ricultural community will undoubtedly
spring up close to the promising mining
camp of Buckskin.

w. c. orem Visits District.

Walter c. Orem, of the Nevada Doug
las mine and the Nevada Copper Belt
Railroad, paid the district short bust
ness visit this week. He reported that
good progress is being made ON the ex-
tension of the road to the mine and
that he hopes to have trains running
into Morningstar by July first, or sooner.
The railroad company has been having
a hard time to secure ties, but now has
enough on the way to finish up the line.
Steel is laid up to the mouth of the river
canyon and some freight will be shipped
from that point Orem is hustler and
deserves a whole lot of credit for what
he has done in the district i'll the way of
mine development and railroad building
during the past two years of financial
depression.
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1911-01-14

grading of the railroad yards is progress
ing rapidly, and about thirty ANIMALS are
employed in this work. Material for
construction is arriving every day and
some thirty mechanics and fifty laborers
kept busy handling it.
Some delay is being experienced in
sinking the wells that are to furnish the
smelter and other buildings with water,
the wrong material having been shipped
by those furnishing it.
The work of clearing the Thompson
townsite is being pushed and it will
probably not be long before some Mr..
Kidder-maybe the original an only one
will be telling of the wonderful prof
its to be made i'll town lot investments, E"
that will at least equal those derived from
town lot sales i'll other places promoted
by such town lot boomers.
But just keep your eye on the smelter
plant and the rest OF the big Yerington
district for the next six months and see
things spin.

the ore in places showing free gold.
Sol Camp, one of the old Cripple
Greek boys, who has the reputation of
nosing out some of the finest gold prop
critics in that country, visited this prop
erty last Saturday and speaks very well
OF it. He says the hanging wall is a
basalt and that the formation resembles
that OF Cripple Creek more than any-
thing he has seen in this State.
Mr.. Knierim has two men at work on
the property now and proposes to con-
tinue development until he satisfies him
self thoroughly as to the extent of the
ore body and the value thereof. The
character of the ore-gold, galena and
silver-will make this property valua-
bic one if the values continue as they
show now for it will be something that
a smelter would be glad to get.

George w. Knierim, who has a very
promising mining prospect about fifteen
miles south of Yerington, met with sub
stantial encouragement this week when
he encountered some fine ore in a drift

the property is running in northeaster-
ly and southwesterly direction and the
shaft is running down on the footwall.
The footwall is a decomposed granite

average, and at the bottom of the shaft
there are some fine gold showings. At
a depth of 81 feet in the shaft Mr.. Knie-

M. R. H. mitchell, of Sparks, visited
the Yerington school on Tuesday He
spent the entire day with the teachers
and pupils, filling all with glow of
pride for the praise bestowed and de-
sire to do better work in the future
His genial kindly way won all the
children and they spoke their thoughts
freely as to friend He was well
pleased with the condition of the school,
but feels that another teacher is a neces-
sity. Much better work could be ac-
commplished if the rooms contained two
grades instead of three as at present.
He was delighted with the interest
shown by the pupils, declaring it was
not surpassed in any Nevada school he
has visited. He feels sure that this
grammar school can soon bo placed on a
par with Reno and Carson City schools
so that state examinations will not be
required of the eighth grade pupils in
the years to come.
He counseled diligence kindness.
honesty and a right use of time and en-
ergy to the betterment of the world not

Mrs. Davis and Miss Hills rendered
musical numbers with all their usual
charm.
Mrs. Reymers' hospitality is unsur-

to be found and the toothsome refresh
ments she served to that enthusiastic
crowd of pleasure seekers were the best

INVESTIGATING,

Veterinary Mack, of the Agricultural
Experiment College,. at Reno, arrived
here last week Friday and proceeded at
once to the Charlebois ranch on the East
Walker River 10 investigate the disease
that has been proving so fatal to horses
in that vicinity for several months past.
Mr.. Mack held post mortem on sew
eral OF the animals and could find moth
ing, practically, the matter with the
blood or organs and was at loss to
tell just what the horses had died OF.
He does not think it is spinal meningi-
It's, however. He treated one sick ami.
NAL and ii has shown great improvement
up to the time OF writing.
Mr.. Charlebois' loss has been very
heavy IN the past four months-some
s2 600 and, of course, he is very anx-
ious to find out what has caused the sick
ness. Other owners of horses in this
valley, among them ]. G. Kaufman,
Fred Bertrand and John Snyder who
have each lost several head are equally
anxious to know what the disease is
that has killed the stock.
Mr. Mack will give the disease further
and closer attention and endeavor to di-
agnose it so that a remedy may be found
He states that an unknow disease is
also playing havoc with dairy cows in
Washoe Valley.

MASON VALLEY development
PROVING VERY SATISFACTORY.

For the week ending Dec. "a, 1910,
from the north drift 43 mining cars were
taken, the average value of the ore be-
ing 3.53 per cent copper. In the south
drift, where connection was made with
the crosscut, 78 cars were extracted, as
saying 2.57 per cent and 323 cars assay
ing 3.24 per cent, making the average of
the ore opened in the southerly direc-
ton 81 per cent copper.
During the week ending Jan. 5 sta
ton was cut in the Wine which has
been sinking below the No. 4. level.
When this work has been completed
crosscut will be run to the ore bodies
and drifting begun. This level will be
located at a distance of $50 feet below
the present No. 4, and will be the deep
est i'll the mine.

KENNEDY CON.
JUMPED y

I'd. Mollart and a number of other
Buckskinners jumped the Kennedy Con.
mine at Buckskin OH the first of this
month. The Kennedy Con. is a copper
and gold property which was located in
the Buckskin District some years ago
in fact. we believe it was the first loca-
ton made in that district. Senator Pitt,
of Lovelock, and Messrs. Campbell and
Kennedy are the owners of the property
and considerable work has been done on
it, and it has been under bond several
times. Enough work has been done on
the property to entitle the owners to
patent TO most OF the seven claims in
the group, and the company has made
the application for patent. Whether or
not the papers are far enough along to
exempt the company from doing its an
nual work in 1910 we are not advised, but
there will have TO be some strong proof
OF the work not being done, the patent
proceedings not far enough along, or the
intention of abandonment clearly estab-
lished before such a property as the
Kennedy Con. can be jumped and held
without some legal contention on the
part OF the company, Senator Pitt has
been in Yerington and out to the mine
this week and seems to be satisfied that
lie has things arranged so that there will
be no trouble for the company to hold

Official information from Mason Val
ley mine headquarters is to the effet
that developments which have been in
progress for the past month in the south
eastern portion of the mine on the 3rd
level, where a new ore body was ell
countered, are regarded as among the
most important which have taken place
at the property.
The new ore was picked up late in
November in crosscutting to the east
ward from the main drift, and since that
time it has been developed both north
and south and an ore body of consider
able size exposed Reports from the
property state that the shoot is develop
ing we'll with the grade of ore holding
up to that when first encountered.

CAPT. ENNEs RE.INsTATED.
Master Of VIM. c. Moreland Will Com
mand New Steamer.

G. NJ. Ennes, master of the Inflated
steamer w. c. Moreland which went
on Saw Tooth reef at Eagle River last
season, is going to command the new
boat that Jones & Laughlin firm is
building.
Captain Ennes has many friends in
every port on the Great Lakes. and
all will be pleased to learn that he will
have just as good a vessel this year as
is afloat on the lakes. The name of
the new craft will be the same as the
one wrecked near Eagle River, but
friends i'm Duluth have received word
from the captain that it is arranged for
him to command the vessel.
The destruction of the Moreland was
one of the sensations of the shipping
season on the lakes. Captain Ennes
was not held blameable. but he assum-
ed all the responsibilities nevertheless.
His selection as the man to command
the new freighter is said by his friends
to be an expected and deserved tribute
of confidence and esteem on the part of
the owners and his employers.-Ke-

and agility against his opponents. is
to be commended. IL is q manly ele-

HOLD TOURNEY
AT |SHPEMlNG
FIVE COPPER COUNTRY CLUBS
TO ATTEND UPPER PENN
SULA BOWLING MEET.
ON MARCH 20.

The fourth annual upper peninsula
Ishpeming, during the week commence
ing Monday, March 90, says the Mar
quette Mining Journal John Gray.
manager Of the Ishpeming alleys,
spent last week in the copper country
interviewing the prominent bowlers.
He reports that there win be at least
five five-men teams entered from
Houghton county, and it is possible
that six or seven teams will come
down. The Elks of Hancock will send
at least one team, and possibly two,
and the Y. NJ. c. A. of Calumet is also
to be represented. There will also be
teams from Laurium, Lake Linden,
Houghton, and the Mitchell team of
Hancock. Mr.. Gray yesterday stated
that the alleys at, Trimountain and
South Range will probably send one
team between them. Most of the cop
per country teams, as well as other,
flve-men teams, will also participate in
the triples, doubles and individual mat
ches.
II is expected that there will be five
men teams present from Escanaba.
Gwinn, Munising, Negaunee. Mar
quette and Republic. Marquette has
promised to send three teams and Ne
gaunee will send two. while there will
be no less than six five-men teams
representing Ishpeming. Each bowler
will be charged 81 entrance fee for
each event i'm which he participates.
The funds raised in fees will be used
to meet the expenses. including the
cost of the trophies, and the banquet.
which is to be served on Saturday
evening. The matches will be rolled
under the rules of the American Bowl
ing Congress.
Matches will be bowled both after
Moons and evenings during the tourna-
ment week and in view of the large
number of entries expected, IL is
thought that the four alleys will be
constantly in use. Mr.. Gray states
that he is positive from the interest
shown by copper country bowlers and
iiOih NiidN lt hdS llOlll lilt DbNl
ers in this county. that the tourna-
mentwiH be by far the most success
full ever held in the upper peninsula.
The match is to take place earlier this
year than in former years, and it is
thought that this will help the attend
ance. as many have advised Mr.. Gray
that they will be able to leave their
work in March for few days. while
in April 1t will be impossible for them
to get away. Many OF the bowlers are
employed in business houses. and, as a
rule, they are much buster i'm April
than in March.
The prizes to be awarded the win
ners have not yet been decided upon.
though they will be selected Just as
soon as the schedule is arranged. as
the committee will then know how
many events there will be.
