Two Runaways

Mrs. Chas. Young had a couple of
stirring experiences this week. We'd
nesday she and Mrs. Becker drove up
to Mason to see the ball game and when
about to come back to Yerington the
Young horse being driven broke away
from her while being unhitched from a
post and scattered the buggy over con
siderable territory No other damage
was done than that received to the bug
gy,
Yesterday afternoon, while Mrs. Young
and son were driving the same horse
out i'll the country a short distance the
animal, having no blinds on, became
frightened at the canopy-top on the
buggy he was drawing and started to
run again. Mrs. Young and Acy man
aged to get out of the buggy and hold
the horse while he kicked the dashboard
and seat off of the vehicle. No dam
age was done i'll this case except to the
buggy, but Mrs. Young thinks she will
not drive this gentle animal again with.

Mr.. 4. Simpson, Superintendent OF
the Baltimore Mines Co., operating in
the Pinenut District, returned from
Rawhide last Monday, where he pur-
chased a 18Th. p. gasoline engine and
hoist to be used on the Baltimore ground.
He also bargained for little oh. p
hoist to do prospecting work with.
These hoists will be shipped from Raw
hide to Wabuska as soon as possible and
hence to the company's property. They
will, more than likely, be installed and
in operation inside of 40 days, and then
the company will begin development on
large scale. Not only that but they
will be getting out ore for the mill they
contemplate building in the near future

From a visitor from Rawhide the
TIMES gathered the following news re-
garding the old camp this week, and il
would indicate that the ost-talked OF
camp in Nevada some years ago is going
to make good, to an extent at least.
AT the present time there are sixteen
owners and leasers working on their re-
spective properties, and quite a number
of men are employed.
The Coalition Queen Company has
just installed an up-to o-date cyanide plant
to operate in conjunction with its mill,
and the plant is doing fine work. The
mill is now running OH ore from a lease
on Coalition ground owned by Hard and
Grose, and they have several hundred
tons of ore to run through which will
average fully $50 per ton.
On the Miller lease, operated by Jack
Meaker and associates, a run of 6S tons
of ore just finished gave returns of
~, l9l 90, or a little better than S32 per
ton. This ore was run i'll the National
mill and the bullion shipped to Selby <
Co. of San Francisco. This mill is now
owned by the Black Eagle Co., and has
been recently remodeled, repaired and
fixed up so that it is doing good work in
saving the values in the ores in the camp
A strike of some Importance was made
on the Royal Coachman property, about
two miles west of the town of Rawhide
recently, and the owners are sacking ore
from the surface that will go $500 per
ton The discovery was made while the
owners were doing the annual assess
ment work. Trenching work was what
brought the ledge to view
W. B. Wedell, of Ogden, Utah, started
up the Rawhide- Phoenix on the ID inst
He has several hundred tons of good
milling ore i'll the slopes of this prop
erty and the ore bins on the surface, and
is making arrangements to have a mill
run made at once.
Cal Terwilleger started work on his
lease on the Santa Ana Rawhide on the
18th of June and has two shifts em-
ploVed. There is a smart zoo feet deep
on this property and it is being dropped
down another 100 feet, and then will be
crosscut. The ledge fills the shaft and
the ore pans well, showing a fair grade
of milling ore.
On the Mascot on Grutt and Balloon
Hills, Ed Orr is taking out ore from
u foot ledge that will average better
than $50 to the ton. lie is also sort
ing up high grade from punches found
in the ledge that run as high as 81 900 and
81 500 per ton. This ore runs about 90

NEVADA DOUGLAS ASSUMING SHAPE

Things are rapidly assuming shape at
the Nevada Douglas. The transformer
of the power line is now completed and
the big compressor has been moved and
placed at the collar of the working shaft
OH the Ludwig. The railroad grade at
the mine is now completed and the en-
tire grade to Hudson will be finished by
the first of next month. Steel and ties,
which have been ordered, will be on
hand to lay as soon as this grade is COM
pleted and the laying be finished by the
lst of Sept. About so men are now em-

Visitors from Idaho

J. J. Keane and Prof r. S. McCaffery,
the latter Professor of Mines in the Uni
versity of Idaho, paid our district a
visit this week. Both gentlemen are
from Moscow, Idaho, and Mr.. Keane is
interested with Mr.. Robins in some cop
per property on the east side of the
Yerington district They paid this
property visit and think very we'll of
it. They also visited the Mason Valley
mine and were as much surprised as
elated to see what a property it is devel-
oping into.
Mr.. Keane was former resident of
Nevada, being an old railroad man on
the division between TruCkee and Wads-
worth in the 70's, while this is the first
visit Mr. McCaffery has paid this sec
ton.
In all probability the visit OF these
gentlemen and the report of MIR Nc
Cafery on the district will be the means
of starting up work on the east side.

Old Camp of Thousand Failures is Promising
to be Big Low-Grad Producer.

per cent silver and the balance gold.
Several small shipments of it have been
made in the past, but Mr.. Orr is now
arranging to make a run of the ore from
the entire ledge at the Coalition mill.
Frank Red is operating the Morning
star and has a shipment of 1e0 tons out
fo4 a mill run. This ore is expected to
mill in the neighborhood of $50 or S55
per ton The ground joins the Queen
and is owned by {. A. Mcleod and the
Grutts.
At the Big -Four, on Rawhide Consoli-
dated ground, Fred Davis and Herman
Romer are sacking high grade OH the
surface. The ore shows free gold plen-
tifully, and some of the assays run as
high as 5000 per ton. This property is
just below the Murry lease.
+. l.. Riggs and Albert Bovard are
arranging to start work on the old Jail
lease, just back of the Main street of
Rawhide. There are SOME promising
showings on this ground.
John Wright recently made promis-
ing strike OH ground adjoining the Rec
tor, at Regent and is preparing to do a
little developing to see what may result.
The Black Eagle, out Regent way,
about two miles west of Rawhide, has
several men employed at the present
time. On the l50-foot level of this
property the ledge is opened up for a
distance of 900 feet, both north and
south of the shaft. On this level the
ledge varies from to Il feet in width
and the ore averages from SIS to $50 per
ton in values On the 1S7-foot level
this same ledge has been encountered
and averages ten feet i'll width, while
the values i'll the ore have increased to
about $50 per ton In the early days of
the camp several thousand tons of ore
were taken from the $50 foot level that
averaged SIS per ton. Preparations are
now being made to start crosscut on
the 2S5-foot level, There is some water
at this depth but not enough to necessi-
tate pumping. This company, which
recently acquired the National mill, is
having six new tanks put in the cyanide
plant This will make II tanks in the
plant, all told. Mr. Green, who has
been experimenting the remodeling of
the mill and the construction of the
cyanide plant, has done thorough job
and the plant now makes a saving of
fully 90 per cent in the values of the
ore treated. In all probability the mill
will soon be enlarged and a concen-
trating plant added This is the prop
erty which it is reported George Wing
field recently became interested in.

Work at Pumpkin Hollow

+. l.. Magneson, who purchased the
mining interests of Albert Bovard in
Pumpkin Hollow recently, has several
men at work on the ground and is tax
ing out a shipment of ore. Just where
this ore will be treated has not yet been
decided. This old district has produced
some very good ore in the past, but
there has been very little activity there
for some time past. Mr.. Magneson has
now acquired all of the Bovard interests
and expects to do considerable work in
Pumpkin Hollow as well as at his prop
erty in Lappan Canyon.

In the afternoon the ball game be
tween Yerington and DAYTON mines was
pulled off OIL the high school grounds.
The game was full of errors and bad
plays by both mines, and the result was
the defeat of the Yerington nine by
score of II to 10. The grounds were not
in the best of shape; they are not laid
out right i'll the first place, being in
such a shape that the fielders have to
face the sun. However, the DAYTON
boys pulled down the 500 prize BY
superior work. Following is the report
of game i'll detail.

Casey Must Hang

The Supreme Court has refused to
give Patrick c. Casey new trial, when
probably means that he will be hanged
if the Board of Pardons does not inter
fere. Casey killed a woman i'll Gold
field in cold blood some time ago and
was sentenced to be hanged. 1t is now
more than likely that he will be resen-
fenced and that his execution will take
place within the next couple of months
unless the Board of Pardons sees ht to
commute his sentence

Nearly Lost Bridge

During the high water of last week
the wagon bridge across the Walker
River at Schurz came near going out.
To save it the people cut trench across
the approach to the bridge and let the
river run around it. This approach can
easily be filled in again at slight expense,
but to build new bridge would have
coat several thousand dollars. The trav-
cling public was somewhat inconven-
fenced as it had to use the railroad
bridge to cross the stream.
