Word reached here the first of this
week of strike of some importance be
ing made i'll Antelope Valley, south of
Yerington about forty miles, and about
six miles east of Topaz. The find was
made by Mr.. Livingston, i'll an old
abandoned shaft about 90 feet i'll depth
This old shaft, evidently was sunk many
years ago 1t is about sixty feet in
depth and is sunk in contact between
lime and porphory, and the ore runs
quite high in silver and lead. The
property in which the strike was made
is an old patented property included in
the Davis Bros. and Livingston marble
quarries.
Quite a number of mining men of
Yer:ngton, including w. c. Gruber, f.
J. Ross, VIM. Boyle, Brown Gross, J. ].
Beatty, P. J. Stacey, A. NJ. Wishart.
and Lew Ross visited the scene of the
scene of the strike this week, and those

Boy Scouts for Yerington

The TIMES learns that DR.. G.. W.
Beatty, of this place, has been appointed
Scout Master for Yerington by the
National Headquarters i'll New York.

IRR|CATINC LAND BY PUMPING
WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR PUMPS

Glib Douglass. former Secretary of
State, some years ago secured quite a
large tract of land on the east side of
Washoe Lake, in Washoe county There
was but nieagre supply of spring water
to irrigate this land, and Mr. Douglass
conceived the idea of pumping water
from the lake for irrigation purposes
He first installed steam plant to do
the pumping. This proved too expen-
sive and he put in a gasoline plant.
Later on, when the electric power line
was constructed from Verdi to Virginia
City, he put in an electric plant. The
Carson Appeal states that Mr.. Douglass
is now making preparations to install
another electric pumping plant at the
lower end of the lake, the first plant
being at the north end. This first plant
has enabled Mr. Douglass to put under
cultivation about 1000 acres of land and
with the addition of the new plant some
500 acres more will soon be under culti-
vation.
Attention is called to this matter for
the reason that it would be one of the
finest, least expensive and most satisfac-
tory ways we can think of to solve the

Teddy will be in Reno Monday

A despatch from Reno to the TIMES
this week announces that Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt will be in Reno next Monday
from 10 a. M to midnight. Great prep

of Reno to entertain the celebrated
gentleman.
There will be cadet drill and the
Colonel will address the students in the

There is no telling when so dis
tingushed a gentleman, statesman and
politician as Roosevelt will visit Nevada
again, and admirers of his should not
overlook this opportunity of greeting
him. Everybody from this section is
cordially invited to meet Mr.. Roosevelt
Take day off and run off over

MASON PASS HAS A CHANCE
TO HAVE BIG COLD PROPERTIES

The Mason Pass county in the YeTiiig=
bic attention, and there promises to be
some excellent gold properties made
there, as we'll ds some valuable copper
mines.
On the Gallagher gold group develop
n.ent is showing small lenses of moder-
ate value ore-say from SO to $50 per
ton-occurring i'll no regular order in
a mass of rhyolite The shaft on the
property is being sunk near contact of
Monzonite and Rhyolite. the same con-
tact that carries the copper inthe Gal
lagher group. This indicates that cop
per will be the main value i'll both
groups as depth is attained, although
mining men who have visited the dis
trict differ in their opinions as to this.
The Gallagher group is now under OPP
ton to Sol Camp and Al Matt, who
have just received returns from eighteen
tons of ore shipped to the Western Ore
Purchasing Co, at Hazen, which shows
the ore to run IS per cent in copper and
.02 OF. i'll gold.
On the Cloud and Richards property,
now under bond to the Constantine
Bros, lying to the west of the Inter
Valley property, fine ledge is opened

feet in depth showing the ledge TO be
three and onehalf feet in width and as
saying SIS per ton its entire width, and a
high-grade streak about six inches in
width on the hanging wall, this wall be-

tines have started an adit and are at
present crosscutting the vein at point

The vein is strong and maintains its sur

vexed question of securing water for
irrigation the year round in Mason VAL
ley. Some years ago the TIMES advo-
Gated the proposition of irrigating Mason
Valley lands from wells, the water to be
raised by gasoline engines and centrifu-
gal pumps. One man i'll the valley is
using this mode of irrigation now and it
is successful.
With the electric power line of the
Truckee River General Electric Co. run
ming through the valley and plenty of
juice on tap there is no reason why the
electric pumping system for irrigation
from wells could not be made a great
success here. The power will be cheaper
than any that could heretofore be OBJ
tanned; water i'll any quantity can be
secured at depth of from six to twenty
feet and the expense of such system,
according to Mr.. Douglass estimate,
will be less than the expense of caring
for gravity bitches taken out of the river.
Besides this it will give an assurance of
water the year round and help farmer
keep his land clean, as the water from
wells will be clean and free from all the
undesirable weed seeds that now get
into his land from the gravity bitches.

No Eel Worms in Mason
Valley Spuds

A representative of Hatch Bros, the
Oakland potato buyers, paid Mason Val
ley visit the first of this week and
bought about all the spuds that remained
unsold in this section, paying s2S per
ton for them. Ambro Rosasch still has
several carloads of spuds left, but is
holding them for his regular customers
in the southern part of this State.
The report that potatoes in this valley
are infested with the eel worm evil is en-
tirely without foundation Our potatoes
are the finest III the world and there.is
not a chance for them to be classed with
inferior. diseased products of other
sections.

When the Orems took hold of it and
did some systematic work at depth it
was found to be the richest and largest
property in the country. The mine has
produced almost every known character
of copper ore, and the finding of the
carbonates in the recent stopping work
indicates that at other levels to be OPP
ened for ore extraction there will be
found more of the azurite and malachite
ore which sold for jewelry some years
ago. This ore, while running high in
copper was selling from 81 to s. per
pound to lapidaries who used it in the
manufacture of jewelry The mine at
the lower levels, is also a producer of
water so highly impregnated with cop
per that it has beautiful green tinge,
and when the copper i'll the water is pre-
cipitated it shows that this water is carry

NEVADA DOUGLAS PUTTING
MINE IN SHAPE TO PRODUCE

Some twenty or more men are now at
work in the Nevada Douglas putting the
raises and the levels in the mine in
shape to produce ore as soon as the rail
road is completed to the property and
the smelter at Thompson is ready to
handle the ore.
This work is being confined entirely
to the Ludwig portion of the Nevada
Douglas estate. and i'll performing the
work more surprises than one are en-
countered in the mine. Superintendent
Arentz reports that while cutting out
slopes on the 100-foot level he has de
veloped at least $50, 600 worth of copper
carbonates which were not before known
to exist.
The Ludwig has always been a mine
of surprises. Years ago it was supposed
to be worked out, and it stood abandoned
for years.

Located in Fitting

George w Lloyd, formerly of this
pace, is now located at camp called
Fitting, some fifteen miles from Love
lock. He writes to Yerington friends
that there are some wonderfully rich
placer properties in the old district and
that arrangements are being made by a
company of capitalists to work the
ground with a dredge. Cinnamon are
the main workers of the groun! in that
district now and they are making good
money, the gravel running from so
cents to IS per yard. Mr.. Lloyd has
secured several claims in the district and
stands to make bunch of money out of
them.

Progress on Copper Belt

Fenton' grading outfit, which is doing
the last gap of road-bed work on the
Copper Belt, is camped in the gulch be-
low the Nevada Douglas compressor
house, and is making the dirt fly. The
work is being done from the mine end
south to Hutson. The road-b bed survey
follows the compressed air line for some
distance from the Ludwig, and this air
pipe is tapped at several places and the
CUT work, which is being done i'll rock
is being handled by machine drills.
Mr.. Fenton expects to have the entire
grade completed by July lst, if he can
secure men and teams enough.

wall There is very little copper show
ing in this vein. Parties are expected
here from the East very soon to look at
this property with view of purchasing.
On the Carson property, under bond
to r. J. Chapman and Chicago capital,
by the the Constatine Bros, at depth
of so feet verticle or l40 feet on incline,
Mr.. Chapman has crosscut the vein
showing on the surface, from which the
the Constantines made a shipment last
fall that netted them over $40 per ton.
The vein maintains its regular dip
though the ore shoot which has a rake
to the east in the vein has not been
picked up. The values i'll the vein at
present are i'll the neighborhood of 8,
with copper stain showing occasionally.
1t will take about ten feet more of drift
encounter the ore shoot, provided the
shoot maintains the same rake as on
the 25-foot level.
Mr. Chapman is also leasing a
piece of ground from the Constan-
tines adjoining the Carson property
and is driving a crosscut adit to explore
the continuation of the same vein upon
which he is working on the Carson prop
erty. 1t will take about 90 feet more
drifting to tap this vein, which shows
strong OH the surface with groupings
traceable for a distance of two thousand
feet This will give him about 100 feet
of backs.
Ali of the ore in these properties will
Yield nicely to the treatment of the new
smelter now being built at Thompson.
The distance from mine to smelter is
only four or five miles, and with cheap
transportation on the Nevada Copper
Belt road, the owners of the properties
will be in a splendid position to make
their prospects pay from the start. The
character of the ores will demand a first
class rate from the smelter for reduction.

Mason Valley Tonnage Stated

The annual report of the Mason VAL
ley Mines Company shows that work
was started on March l, 1907, and up to
January /, 1911, there had been driven
II, S6S feet of development work, one
third of which was in ore. The devel-
oped tonnage is now as follows: 1914
655 tons averaging S.95 per cent copper,
and 81, 900 tons averaging 2.SS per cent
While the initial capacity of the smell
ter near Wabuska will be 800 tons of ore
daily, provision has been made, says the
report, to make tins ,, 600 ton plant.
