S. p. OFFICIALS VISIT DISTRICT
Valley
Through Neva>Duglas Nine
andBa and o Their Way Rejoicing

G.. Berryhill, of the Nevada Douglas
Twining, Supt. Pullman Co., Salt Lake;
T. J. O'Brien, Gen. Agent Gum Ouealy
Coal Co., Salt Lake; and John Reeves,
of Salt Lake.
They were met at the Yerington de.
pot by autos owned by the following
Yeringtonites, who composed the recep-
ton committee of this place: c. A.
Mcleod, G. w Webster, w. {. Gruber,
G.. +. Leavitt and Geo. Plummer, also
Mr. Jules Labarthe and G. NJ Fraser, in
their autos from Mason. The party was
driven about the lower end of the valley
and Yeiington for an hour or two and
then taken to dine at the Montana Cafe,
where an excellent dinner had been pre-
pared and to which the visitors did
ample justice.
After dinner, or just about dinner
time, Governor Oddie came i'll from Car
son with his machine, bringing c. A.
Norcross, of the State Publicity COM
mission; State Engineer Kearney and
Railroad Commissioner Shaugresy, who,
after lunch, joined the larger party and
moved to Mason, where the special train
of the railroad men was taken for run
over the Copper Belt Road to Hudson.
At Hu lson autos and stages took the
visitors around Smith Valley and to the
Nevada Douglas mine, where they were
shown through the workings by Mr..
Orem, Berryhill, Supt. AREN'T and Fore
man Burbridge.
After viewing the mine the return
trip to Mason was made by auto and
train, where splendid supper was

master and nearly everybody had some
thing to say. About 2 O'Clock on the
morning of Wednesday the special train
left for Sparks. The visitors were
much pleased with their reception and
spoke highly of the entertainment pro-
vided for them Not one of them had
any conception of the great resources
and possibilities of this district in both
mining and agriculture, but they went
away cramnied full of data regarding
everything and it will be strange if
much good does not result to the dis
trict from their visit. They saw our
broad acres, millions of gallons of
water going to waste, and one of the
greatest copper properties in any section
of the country. They marveled at
the fact that no more land was
under cultivation in our valleys
and now understand why the Ne
vada Copper Belt road is being
built and the smelter constructed at
Thompson, which they visited before
coming up the valley. Depend upon it,
these people are not going to overlook
this district any louger. They are ready
now to cooperate with the people here
and the Governor, State Engineer and
Publicity Commissioner for the upbuild-
ing of the district the storage of water
and the colonization of our uncultivated
lands.
The district owes this visit and what
good may result from it, to Messrs. Orem
and Berryhill, who extended the invita-
ton. They will be here again next year.
Let's show them an improved condition
of things on their next visit.

George w. Wilson, who took lease
on the Mountain View mine in Decem-
Der last, has completed the extraction of
his first run of 100 tons of ore, and the
same is being hauled to Nordyke for
milling i'll the FIVE stamp water rmill at
that place. Jack Butler has the hauling
contract.
Mr.. Wilson found it necessary to con-
struct chutes i'll the mine and erect a
substantial ore loading bin of fifty tons
capacity at the mouth of the lower tun-
mel. This makes it possible for the ore
team to make a roundtrip every two
DAYS.
Some very good ore is being taken out
at this writing from combinations of the
main slopes which have been developed
by men in the employ OF the leaser, and
the operations now planned by Mr..
Wilson promise to put Mountain View
in the list of regular producing gold
camps of Nevada.

Pine GROVE TO
PRODUCE GOLD

For some years past very little has
been said or heard about the old Pine
Grove section of this district, about rs
miles south of Yerington However,
for the past three years or SO Messers.
Smith and Del Rey, who secured the
control of the old Wilson mine, have
been extending the big crosscut tunnel
into the hill under the old workings of
the property, where over S5,000,00 in
bullion was taken out in early DAYS by
leasers.
This tunnel is now in about 4 200 feet
and is getting close to the mneralized
zoae The tunnel will tap the ledge or
body of ore at depth of about 800 feet
from the surface on perpendicular line
or considerably deeper or. the dip of the
ledge This ledge, or body, of ore is
about 800 feet in width and its trend is
in an easterly and westerly direction.
The tunnel is running southerly to
crosscut the ledge. The hanging wall
is diorite and the foot wall porphyry.
The old workings of the mine extend
only to depth of about 800 feet below
the surface, so it will be seen that the
tunnel will tap this ledge some 500 feet
lower than any of the old workings.
Some water is being encountered in the
tunnel and the ground above will all be
drained 80 that it will be inexpensive to
operate.
A couple OF thorough samplings have
been given the mine down to- the depth
Of the old workings, and with the richest
streaks and veins in the big dyke worked
out, the matrix of the ledge shows an
average assay value OF 70. so cents per
ton. The present owners OF the prop
propably 10 stamps, at the old town of
Pine Grove, and demonstrate what can
be done with this $50 ore. The grad
ing for this mill il now under way, so
We are informed. II is the intention of
the company. however, if the demon
strations prove satisfactory. to raise from
the big tunnel to the lower workings of
the mine, cave the whole ledge for its
entire width and shoot it through the
tunnel to a big plant to be erected at. or
near, the mouth OF the tunnel.
In the tunnel small veins of fair grade
gold ore have been encountered and at
one point a vein of copper of consider
able width and carrying ; to 4 per cent
in the red metal was cut.
There is no reason to not believe that
a property which has produced 5000,
900 in gold down to the 500-foot level
will not produce as much more-maybe
many times as much more - below that
point when the ground is unwatered and
the lower grades of ore are systematic
ally treated by the up-to-date processes
nos in vogue for treating ores. And
this is just what those now i'll control of
the property are going to do.

M. FaIIon and Wife Visiting

Mr.. NJ. Fallon and wife, father and
mother of Assemblyman Ira Fallon,
were arrivals here Thursday from
Bishop, CAL, where the elder Fallon is
largely interested in ranching. He
speaks very highly of that country and
says that while the season has been
backward and cold, they are cultivating
corn there, harvesting alfalfa, and that
the fruit crops will be good. Mr.. Fal-
lon and wife make their home at Santa
Cruz, CAL. but have been visiting their
Bishop property for some weeks. They
are now visiting Ira and his family on
the East Walker ranch and then return
to their home at Santa Cruz. Mr.. Fal
Ion says the Bishop country is the ideal
country for dairying and beet cattle.

counting financially, and the report &c
the manager, II. p. Faye, is good

The past season has been very edt
isfactory in every way.
Crop 1910 - Harvested from Ella
acres of plant ana ratoons yielded H.
$50 II tons of sugar, giving 7O7 tons
fof sugar per acre. This is a little bet
ter than last year, viz; 6.77 tons per
acre. and much in advance of 1908
crop, which only yielded 5.72 tons per
acre.
THE numing of the cane from the
upper lands above Waimea worked
very well, and there was but very lit
tie difficulty in handling the cane from
the hills
crop 1911-We have had a good
deal of rain the last few months and
no cold weather, consequently the juice
has been rather low. The yield of sug
ar, however has come up to the esti
mate, and | think we win be safe in
estimating $4,000 tons for this crop.
I'VE have to date harvested 1925 tons
of sugar February I'D
Crop 1912--We have planted some
more new land on the hills for this
crop, but it has not been surveyed yet.
l judge it to be about 20 acres.
AS near as | can estimate, this crop
ought to yield the same as 1911 crop,
or perhaps little better, depending on
the coming ratoons."

STREET CAR SERVICE
WAS SATISFACTORY

Manager Ballentyne, OF the II. r. +.
& l.. Co. states that he and his men
had their hands full yesterday in
keeping certain parts of the system
moving and other parts at stand
still so as not to interfere with the
parade.
There was only one break in the
smooth running of things and that
was on the Punahou line and caused
by the parting of trolley wire that
came in contact with one of the high
floats. This laid up that line for
about an hour, but that was the only
interruption during the day.
There was some little confusion last
night on account of the Japanese Ian
tern parade, but the people wanted to
get into town and the cars had to
break through the line of march a
number of times, otherwise the day
passed off very well as far as the
street cars were concerned

in the city, not in the suburbs, but in
the residential parts. near hotels and the
business section, that are dangerously
dark.
In the Wide Streets.
Evan H. Tucker. president of the asso-
citation. said he would like to see every
part of the city lighted as brilliantly
as Sixteenth street, and there is no good
reason why it should not be so. he added
while it may be that wide streets
make Washington harder to light than
some other cities with narrow streets. >
said Mr.. Tucker. that is a reason for
it being harder and taking more lights.
but it is no excuse for not having them. 10
One member remarked that streets like
Vine street, in Cincinnati, and others he
mentioned would make Pennsylvania
avenue look like a dark alley at night
in comparison. Several members of the
citizens associations had odiOUS carnpari-
sons to make of the streets in small
towns all over the country. and these
were not at all to the credit of Wash
ington.
The Washington herald., 1911-02-14

Two citizens associations went on
record last night as deploring the i'm
perfect lighting of the city and urS-
ing an increase of the number of lights
throughout Washington.
At the Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton. r. n. Harper. in giving an inter
esting account of the development of
the city within the period of his own
exception of lighting. the improvement
had been little short of wonderful.
Washington. in his opinion, is behind
other cities in this respect.
P. ]. Moran, who introduced the reso-
luton. spoke of his observation of the
lighting OF Western cities during a re-
cent trip, and regretted that the COM
parison of the lights of Denver and Kan
sas City. to say nothing of the larger
cities, was much against the National
Capital.
Condition of the Avenue.
In the opinion of several members of
the association. if the lights that are
supplied by private individuals on our
lest lighted thoroughfares were with
drawn, it would be found tnat the city's
share is extremely ineffective. In other
words, the Avenue owes more of its
illumination to private enterprise of
signs and store lighting than to the
lights furnished by the city.
In general effect, gloominess takes
the place of that attractive brilliance
that has come to be a necessary attrac-
ton of the great avenues of modern
city. In this respect it is generally felt
WaSbfnpfnn iS hahind other ritipS
in that general attractiveness that makes
cities enjoyed and remembered.
1t came out in a general conversation
of the members that with the small po-
lice force at the disposal of the superin-
tendent of police, there should be more
light as a deterrent to crime. 1t was
recalled that some recent bold hold-ups
of citizens had occurred in dimly lighted
streets, and these would have been i'm
possible had the lighting been as it
should be.
Another member pointed out that the
great beauty of Washington is its trees
and yet this very adornment made the
greater number of lights imperative on
account of the shade cast by their foli-
age at night. This shade, grateful as II
is on, hot days, and adding much to the
comfort Of the citizens, makes the need
OF lights all the greater.
At the other end of the city, the North
east Washington Citizens Association
took up the matter in the form of a
resolution introduced by Or. Z. b. Wal
ter. in which the inadequate lighting was
made the subject OF unfavorable COM
parison with other cities. DR.. Walter
said that, taken as a whole, the city
was one of the most poorly lighted in
the country. HE felt that this was
subject upon which concerted action
should be taken by all of the citizens.
and not relinquished until the city has
the safety. comfort, and protection that
lights alone can give. In his opinion,
light on the street corner Is letter than
a policeman, in the way Of preventing
crime. He said there are many streets
