EMpIRE-NEVADA PRODUCER.
Big Property Now Ranks Fourth as
Shipper in the District.

The Empire Nevada Copper Co.'S
shipper to the Thompson smelter.
Returns have been received from OF
cars of ore, having a gross value OF
$o7,S0l.94, the shipments averaging
well abvoe per cent, the lowest
grade ore shipped having run a trlle
under per cent and the highest grade
shipment running over 20 per cent.
Two new leases have recently been
let to parties who will explore parts
of the property heretofore but slight
ly prospected and it is believed that
a large tonnage will soon be coming
from this new ground.
The Smith brothers, leasers, have
begun preparations for the setting OF
25 horsepower hoist on the Red
Star shaft, preparatory to sinking that
shaft to the sulphide zone where they
expect to develop large bodies of
good shipping ore. A building Of suf-
hicient dimensions will be erected to
house the hosting plant and serve
as change room for the miners EN-
ployed underground Mr.. George
Smith was in Reno for a few days this
week arranging for pumping plant
to handle water encountered in the
new work.
The portion of the property on
which the best showings occur was
originally located in 1868 by c. T.
Martin and was known as the Pluto.
Shipments were made from the old
Piute in the old Comstock days to
Dayton, Nevada, at the time when the
Bluestone, Mcconnell, Spragg and
other old properties were producing.
Other high grade shipments have
been made since to the Selby Smelt-
er in California when the copper con
tent had to be 20 per cent in order
to be profitable to shippers. The
Empire Nevada takes in considerable
territory. and when once opened up
right it will become one of the great
big properties OF this district.

NEW RAILROAD COMING.
Branch of Short Line to Enter Ne
vada Near Wells.

A recent dispaach from Twin Falls,
Idaho, says that the Oregon Short
Line is to build road at once from
Twin Falls to connect with the South
ern Pacific near Wells. in the eastern
part of Nevada.
This positive statement was made
by w. H. Bancroft, Vice President
and General Manager OF the Oregon
Short Line Mr. Bancroft, accom-
panied by +. H. Knickerbocker, As
sistant General Manager. and Charles
f. Broks, of the Pocatello divis-
ion, were travelling by special train
train on their way to Rogerson to
consult with the corps of engineers
who for the last forty days have been
working in the field between Twin
Falls and Wells 1t has been known
for some time that corps of engi-
neers were working along this route,
but for whom they were working was
not known until lately.
Mr. Bancroft stated that the line
would go through Contact, the cop
per mining camp. 65 miles south of
Twin Falls, which is exceedingly rich
but has no railroad The work of
actual building of the line will begin
as soon as the company has decided
on the terminus. which will probably
be at Metropolis, about eighteen
miles from Wells. the objective point
of the proposed line of the Western
Pacific The Short Line is at present
replacing its sixty-pound rails along
this branch to Minidoka with ninety
pound rails and is also strengthening

Golden Gate Prospering.

The old Golden Gate mine in An
telope Valley, now owned by the Hall
Gold Mining Co. is at the present
time in very prosperous condition.
The company is composed of former
Pennsylvania men and it is Pennsyl

in its present prosperous condition.
The ten stamp mill is running stead
lily and reducing about forty tons OF
ore per day. Twenty miners are en-
ployed in the mine and two-bucket
tramway carries the ore from the
mine to the mill, distance of about
one quarter of mile. A nice bar of

week Few people in Yerington have
any idea OF the valuable developments
made in this section by this company.

some big mines would be found in
that particular locality.
