SUNRISE DISTRICT COMING
To The FRONT

of ore running from $40 per ton up.
The Red Jacket, south, has a shaft 20
feet in depth showing ore of equal values
with the others.
The whole estate consists of twenty
claims lying near the summit of the
Pinenut range of hills, some thirty miles
west and a little north of Yerington
The location is an ideal one, there being
plenty of nut-pine wood for fuel and
numerous springs of water for domestic
and other uses.
As soon as the hoist now being in
stalled is ready for business large force
of men will be put on and development
work pushed so as to get the mine ready
for new l0-stamp mill which the com
pany anticipates installing early in 1912
There are large and commodious
buildings on the property, consisting OF
diningroom and cook house, bunk
house, fine Office for the manager,
acksnith-shop, etc; i'll fact everything
is nicely arranged for the comfort and
welfare of the employees. A large amount
of mine supplies, consisting of mine cars,
Trails, buckets, timber, etc, is on hand
and there will be no delay from now on
i'll the way of development work
The company which is doing all this
work has for its President Judge Robert
NJ Force, an attorney -at-law of Shelby
ville Ky, who was formerly Clerk OF
the Supreme Court of New Mexico. T.
Simpson is Vice President and General
Manager. +. c. Mcmahon, a banker
of Shelbyville Ky, is the Treasurer
Besides the above officers as directors
are J. d. Kaltenbacker and r. j. Ram
sey, capitalists of Shelbyvile, and Mr.
Alden, a prominent distiller of Louis
Vile, Ky.
The company has not been saying
much about its affairs for the past year
or more that it has been operating, but
they are doing the work which will
prove whether or not they have available
property, and all indications now points
to the belief that they have one of the
most valuable estates anywhere i'll this
section of the State.

new station pump, which is the largest
in the district, is OH the dump ready to
be lowered to the S00-foot station as
soon as the water is pumped from that
level. The transformer house is fin
ished and the big transformers are in
place and wired up. The machine shop
is completed and in fine running order
under the management of Johnny Dixon
The office of Superintendent AREN'T
has been moved to a point east of the
head frame and commands a complete
view of the whole top and ward. The
new residence of the Superintendent is
nearly completed and is large enough
and roomy enough to suit the most ex
acting. Three large water tanks, having
capacity of 40,0 gallons of water,
have been erected, and the yard and
buildings at the plant have all been
piped and numerous hydrants put in, so
that excellent fire protection is now
afforded
If anybody should ask YOU, just say
that the Nevada Douglas is busy-very
busy.

Milling Cat Creek Ore

Charlie Graham, who recently made a
rich strike i'll the Mount Grant section
near the head of Cottonwood Greek and
Cat Greek, is taking ore out of the claim
and hauling it to the little 2-stymp mill
owned by n Poll, down the Cottonwood
Greek about seven miles from the mine.
The ledge from which the ore is being
taken is about a foot i'll width and il
is high grade, some of it running up into
the thousands, while all of it will prob
adly go better than 500 per ton. The
little mill is a two stamp affair, the
stamps being 1000 pounds each, and is
operated by steam power, there being
plenty of fuel close at hand. The mill
will handle between five and six tons OF
ore per day. 1t is not equipped to han
die anything but free milling ore, and
was put i'll about three years ago to work
ore from the old Wild Horse mine. Mr.
Poll, who owns this mine, is also getting
out a run of ore for the mill.

RICH STRIKE IN
SUNRISE DISTRICT

Word comes from Sunrise District
TINS week that j. NJ. Collier has made
another rich strike of gold ore only a
short distance from the Baltimore COM
pany' estate. The ledge is a small one
on the surface and inches of it on the
loot wall gives gold values of 5000 per
ton, while a 2inch streak on the hang
ing-wall gives values of $500 per ton.
Very little work has, as vet, been done
on the find but the indications are that
the ledge widens with depth, although
1t may not hold to Il above rich values
with depth. Mr.. Collier, who made the
discovery, is the one who found the
ledges on the Baltimore ground some
years ago and who disposed of the prop
erty to the Kentucky people who com
pose the company. That section is one
that has not been thoroughly prospected
and it would not be surprising to see
some more good things found there, as
the section is highly mineralized

SHERIFF SALE OF
MINING PROPERTY

The Mason Coal and Lumder Company,
through its attorneys, Moore and Miller
some time ago filed an action i'll the
Justice Conrt of Spragg Township against
the Empire Nevada Copper Mining and
Smelling Gompang, of this district, for
a lumber bill of S252 and an attorney fee
of 500 and cost.
Subsequently T. T. HoH filed miners
lien for himself and Charles Oberg, and
later c. II. Meyers filed an attachment
against the company for services.
Next 7. L. Dunaway, of Reno, by his
attorney, H. Pilkington, filed District
Court action for a sum aggregatng ST.,
100.
On Wednesday of this week a sale of
some of the personal property was made
and J. G. Kaufman bought the property
The property is worth many times the
amount of the attachment, and it is sup
posed that there has been some mis-
of the companys affairs by
some of the officers, as it is now report

Must Use Shorter Pins

Women who have been i'll the habit OF
wearing big, long hat pins that are apt
to put a person eye out or gouge piece
out of some other portion of the anatomy,
will have to forego the pleasure % of
wearing these implements of war after
the first of next January in the State Of
Nevada. A law was made at the last
session of the legislature that after that
date all hat pins must not be longer
than to project over half an inch from
the hat crown. If they are longer the
points must be protected by scabboard
or some device In view of the gro
tesque style of hats that women wear
it would not be strange to see the dear
creatures adopt the safety pin as means
of holding on their head gear

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL

An attempt of some of the prisoners
in the county Jail at this place to escape
last night was frustrated by the vigilance
of the officers. About midnight watch
man West, who was patrolling the Jail
district. heard noise that sounded like
filing iron He went close to the Jail
and was convinced that something was
wrong inside and fired his revolver to
attract the attention of other officers.
Deputy Sheriff Bugbee soon appeared on
the scene, and going into the Jail found
that the steel staple for the lock on the
door between the Jail apartments was
sawed nearly in two. The prisoners
were hastily placed in the iron cages and
a search revealed saw blade hidden III
one of the Jail hunks.
There are three prisoners in the Jail,
all having been held to appear before
the grand jury, which meets next Tues
day They are Mccarthy, being held
for passing bogus check, and Williams
and Mann, held for horse stealing Just
who, of these, was doing the work of
cutting out, the officers have not yet de-
termined.
How any of the prisoners secured the
saw is a mytery to the officers, but it is
certain that they had friends OH the out
side who furnished it.
The old, front portion of the Jail is
not very secure place for prisoners, but
the steel cells will be hard for them to
get out of All of the men were given
considerable freedom and treated we'll
and up to the present time had only
been confined in the front portion of the
Jail, which contains only wooden cells
and has an iron door between it and the
back portion, where the steel cells are,
which is fastened only with a paddock
hooked through a heavy staple set into
the stone wall. Another half an hour
and the birds would have sawed this
staple i'll two, slipped out the paddock
and been i'll the frame portion of the
Jail. From this they would only have
had to jump through window to escape

Arm Amputated

Mrs. Mike Sava, of Morningstar, re-
turned to Yerington from Reno Thurs
day after having portion of her arm
amputated. Something over a year ago
Mrs. Sava had the misfortune to cut her
finger while opening can of meat.
From this little cut blood-poisoning set
in. She doctored for the ailment for
some time before going to Reno but the
trouble seemed to be incurable. When
she arrived i'll Reno the physicians there
stated that it would be necessary to take
off portion of her arm to save her
life This they did, and Mrs. Sava is
now free from the disease. Mr.. Sava is
a saloon man of Mornlngstar, and lls
wife went to her home there after short
visit i'll Yerington

While the TIMES has had something
to say from time to time regarding the
Sunrise District and the work being done
there by the Baltimore Gold Mining and
Milling Company it will undoubtedly be
nterestesting to many TO know that work
is going right along on the property and
that the operators are meeting with the
most encouraging results.
The company's property extends along
vein which has a northeasterly and
southwesterly course, for over mile.
On the Denver claim, the most north
westerly one of the estate, big gasoline
hoist is now being installed for the pur
pose of sinking a big shaft. The pres
ent development work on this claim is
tunnel 800 feet in length along and on
the vein, showing the vein to be on an
average of 10 feet i'll width Us below
the surface of the ground. A cross vein
) feet in width was cut in this tunnel
which contains splendid values i'll gold.
What is called the east tunnel is in a
distance of about 100 feet, all i'll a fine
grade of ore, the ledge being practically
so feet i'll width.
North of the Denver claim about 800
feet, on the Baby Ruth claim, the vein
shows to be about 10 feet i'll width and
carries values equal to those shown on
the Denver north tunnel.
Joining the Denver on the south is
the Douglas claim, the development
work done here showing the vein to be
as rich as any of the others.
South of the Douglas is the Porcupine
shaft 40 feet in depth showing the vein
to be as large and rich, almost as the

Nevada has jumped into first place as
a producer of precious metals, the value
of the output during the first six months
of the present year approximating $50,
600 600. This would indicate that Cali
fornia, now holding the record for gold,
will be forced into second place, with
Colorado as a close second to her. The
development of the mining industry in
Nevada to such phenomenal proportions
has been accomplished duriug the last
six years, despite the numerous obstacles
in its path
