LEASING ON The
NEVADA-DOUCLAS

1t is not often that one hears of leas-
ers operating on copper ground, yet that
is what number of miners are now
doing on the famous Nevada Douglas
copper property i'll this district. ]. K.
Cameron and f. J. Wilson are now leas-
ing on the upper levels of the Ludwig
portion of the Nevada Douglas estate
and report that they are getting a fine
grade of ore and expect to begin ship
ping to the smelter at Thompson i'll
few days. There will probably be 9TH
ers WHO will secure leases on this prop
erty, and there is no reason to believe
that they will not make good money at
the work. AS before stated in the
TIMES, the Nevada Douglas Company
will be very busy from now on in de-
veloping and getting out ore from the
lower levels to feed the new smelter,
and will have little time to devote to the
mining of the rich ores on the upper
levels of the mine. There is plenty of
ore on the upper levels that will run
from 6 to 40 per cent i'll copper, and
this is the kind of stuff the leasers are
after. to say nothing of the beautiful
malachite and azurite ores that can be
taken out aud sold by the pound.
The big body of native copper ore
found couple of weeks ago on the 800
level is still there-bgger than ever
but work on it has been abandoned for
the present, as it is almost impossible to
handle it. 1t is difficult to handle it
and make any headway, as the chunks
are SO massive that they cannot be
easily drilled and blown out To get to
this body of ore in better manner the
drift some 81 feet to the south is being
carried forward and will come at this
big bunch of nearly pure copper i'll such
a way that it can be much more easily
taken care of. Just how this ore will be
handled we do not know. 1t is so nearly
the pure stuff that it cannot very well be
smelted, and, possibly, it will not even
have to be run through a converter. 1t
is practically all copper and you can take
large or small pieces of it and, after
knocking the gangue out of the seams
in it, hammer it down flat the same as
you can piece of pig lead The Ne
vada- Douglas has proved, so far, one of
the wonder copper properties of the
country and anything that the manage
ment might say it had discovered in the
mine now, even to body of pure gold,
would not surprise us much

Sugar Factory to Start

Next Tuesday will be an epochal day
in Nevada's history, for on that date the
wheels of the States first and only sugar
factory will be set in motion and the
great plant on the eastern edge of town
will be set to the task of converting the
1911 crop of beets of four valleys into
white, commercial sugar that will glis-
ten as the snow as it runs fiom the hop
pers into sacks, after being handled
with the most modern machinery pro-
durable. This run will be largely a try
out for the factory's equipment and a
demonstrations to which all of Nevada is
invited.
Falon should awake to the occasion
and show that it appreciates to the full
est sense the real worth of the great
manufacturing plant The industry
means more to the state than our best
economists have so far admitted. d.-Chur-

TOOK AWAY The
CHRISTMAS GIFT

Last Saturday dispatch was received
grower of this valley that the quaran-
tine placed on Nevada potatoes by Cali.
fornia had been raised and that all pota-
toes could be shipped. This was quite a
Christmas present from California to
Nevada, but Nevada was only allowed
to play with the gift for short time.
The gift had a string tied to it, for a few
DAYS later word was received here that
Nevada spuds shipped to California
would still have to undergo the former
rigid inspection in California as before,
and if any eel worms were found the
spuds were to be shipped back. The
conditions were even made little more
severe than formerly, we are told, i'll
that shippers from here would be obliged
to prepay the freight on the spuds and
give a guarantee that the return freight
would be paid if the potatoes were con-
demned.
California has never meant to give
Nevada a square deal in this matter from
the start She now thinks she has
barred the spud for good to the satisfac-
ton of the California growers of soggy
spuds. Maybe she has, but our growers,
citizens and business men are now tax
ing up the matter with our Congressman
and Senators in Washington, and it is just
possible that some relief may come be-
fore the growers are subjected to the
loss that California is bound shall be sad
died upon them this year.

OBSERVANCE OF
''LUDWIDG DAY.

Yesterday was Ludwig Day, day set
for festivities at the new town of Lud-
wig, at The Nevada Douglas mine and
the terminus of the Copper Belt railroad
The event received very little advertis-
ing. but, nevertheless, crowd of people
were there from all parts of this valley
and Smith Valley. The trains ran so
that people from Yerington could not
return until after midnight and those
who went from here travelled by automo-
bile. The visitors were shown through
the mine and gypsum quarry and around
the works, and from 430 to $50 p. M
supper was served in the old boarding
house, and much enjoyed by all who
partook thereof. At s in the evening
the crowd assembled in the company $
new boarding house and danced until /
when all started for their respective
homes. The hall was nicely decorated
with smilax and holly, and the music
was excellent, being furnished by Carl
Erickson, Fred Marks and Miss Edna
McNeely, of Yerington. At the close
everybody was presented with souvenir
i'll the shape of piece of native copper
from the Nevada Douglas mine. Traffic
Manager Fraser, of the Nevada Copper
Belt, and his wife made every effort to
see that the gnests were we'll looked af-
ter and everything passed off smoothly
and pleasantly.
The town of Ludwig was born some
months ago, and this occasion might be
termed the christening of the child
The camp is destined to be one of the
permanent towns of Lyon county and
we predict for it a steady and healthy
growth from now on.

COPPER
NOW OPERATING

Work OH the Yerington Copper prop
erty was resumed this week, Thursday,
with quite force of men. This prop
ertv has been idle for some time, but
within the past few months the company
has been reorganized, and Duncan Nc
Vichie has been elected general manager
for the company and A. A. Marsal su-
perintendent, and it is under the man
agement of these men that the future
work on the property will be done. 1t
is believed that the work now started is
the beginning of an active campaign of
development
The property is situated on the east
side of the district and considerable work
has already been done OH it and a fine
showing of high grade ore made. The
shaft that is now down to depth of 450
feet will be dropped lower and levels run
with a view of getting slopes in shape
for the production of ore, of which there
is considerable body in view at the
present time. 1t may be expected that
under the management of Mr.. Nc
Vichie, the Yerington copper will soon
be shipping ore to the new smelter at

RUSHING WORK ON
BALTIMORE GROUND

Fourteen men are now employed on
the property of the Baltimore Gold
Mines Company in Sunrise district, and
things are rapidly being gotten i'll shape
for the production of bullion. This
week the last load of mill machinery
was hauled from the railroad to the
camp, and just as soor as possible the
mill will be erected and placed i'll COM
mission. A 25-horse power gasoline
hoist is now operating on the new Den
yer shaft, which has, at this time, been
dropped to depth of 120 feet. This
shaft is being sunk to hit the ledge
found i'll the 2l0-foot tunnel which has
been run on the property, and will go
to some depth with cross cuts to pros
pect the ground at intervals of 100 feet
On the Porcupine ledge, which is three
feet IN width, a small six horse power
gasoline hoist has been installed to
sink shaft on this portion of the prop
erty. Two shifts are working on the
big Denver tunnel and are making about
three feet day.
The company has a property which
has every indication of making good in
the way of production. Three veins on
the property can be traced for distance
of over a mile, and have been opened in
a number of places, showing a good
quality of ore. The mill will be ready
for operation in the early spring and the
ground will be opened by that time so
that there will be no difficulty i'll pro-
ducing sufficient ore to feed the mill
regularly. While there is considerable
high grade ore i'll sight the company es
Inmates that it can make $40 or 81 ore

ance. However, it is more than likely
that grade of $50 to SIS ore will be
easily made. You may look for the
Baltimore Company to be bullion pro-
ducer without fail before next July.

COPPER NOW HAS
The RIGHT OF WAY

1t is now expected that the new Mason
Valley smelter will begin operations on
December 2S or 29.
This plant, which will treat the ores
from the Mason Valley and also do
custom smelling business, is located at
Thompson, Nevada. With the entire
S00-ton plant in commission in the
neighborhood of 1900, 900 pounds of
copper per annum should be produced
from the company's own ores. The re-
cent PIC advance i'll the metal is, there
fore, a matter of great importance to
Mason Valley, as on the 1900, 900
pounds it represents an increase in earn
ing power of $40, 900 per annum, which.
on the conpany's small share capital of
254 600 shares (assuming all bonds CON
vertedD, indicates additional earnings of
something over 81 per share.
The placing in commission of the Ma.
son Valley plant makes the advent OF
the second copper smelter in Nevada
the Nevada Consolidated's plant at FL,
being the only other important smeltei
of this kind. Western Nevada and the
Mason Valley district have long felt the
need of a custom plant as the ores have
been subjected to haul of more than
500 miles to the Salt Lake or San Fran
cisco smelters. In addition to the profits
which will be derived from the treat
custom phase of the business should
prove profitable Thompson, Towle &
