that since the present owners acquired
the property they have developed sew
present production.
Malachite-The Malachite is now
producing a good tonnage of ore from
two places on the property. On the
south end of the Natchez claim, for
merly owned by John Dobbins. there
is being developed a very large body
of ore of tirst-class commercial grade,
proving the continuity of the Mason
Valley ore bearing contact for dis
tance of about 1000 feet. South of the
present Mason Valley workings, on
tunnel No. 3 level of the Mason Valley,
the drift run into the Maachite ground
has opened in crosscut to the east
| big body OF fine ore, from which ship
mentS are being made regularly
Mason Valley-The Mason Valley
mine is in unusually good condition
at the present time. Shipments to the
smelter are being sent forward every
day. Everything in and around the
mine is working splendidly and the
immense ore reserves opened promise
a long period of big production. The
stock is quite active on the New York
exchange. where it is very popular
issue. You may expect to sec it sell
ing in 1913 for twice its present price.
Yerington Con.-The Yerington
! Consolidated is another property hav
ing large bodies of fine commercial
ore opened up and which can produce
good tonnage with very little work
being done The inactivity displayed
by this company is hardly to be under
stood for it will make one of the big
ones of the district when properly
opened up. 1t is understood, however,
that work on this property will be
started in the near future. at which
time good production will be made
right at the start. placing the prop
erty in the front rank of the produc
ers of this district
Bluestone-Th famous Bluestone
has very little information to impart
! consequently little can be said about
its future operations. 1t is whale of
a big mine. that everybody knows, and
is capable OF producing an immense
/ tonnage Several syndicates have in
/ the recent past made overtures for the
purchase of this property but the price
( the owner places upon it seems to be
+ prohibitive. The property is capable
of employing several hundred men.
New Yerington-The New Yering
ton Copper is rapidly getting into
shape for big production. The new ore
bins will be completed very shortly
and the wagon road is being put into
condition for the heavy hauling soon
to begin The new engine and com

big body of fine grade ore. Every
thing around the property is assuming
a business-like appearance, and Supt.

located on the west side of the range.
just north of the Nevada Queen. has
been very busy for the last few months
doing development work and now has
800 feet of shaft and drifting in the
main workings. On the south end of
the property they have just installed a
25 horse power hoisting engine. Sink
ing will be resumed at once and the
shaft dropped down another 100 feet,
at which level a crosscut will be run
to the ore They have mined some
very high grade ore on this property
and are now prepared to go after 1t
in real mining fashion.
Nevada a-Douglas-T he New ada a
Douglas is shipping to the Thompson
smelter the heaviest tonnage of any
property in the Yerington district,
November tonnage will be heavier
than October which was the banner
month The development furnishes
SO many surprises that it is very diff

mine is developing into a very large
proposition. The earnings are large
and will be the best ever had by the
company for the month of November
K. & R.-The Kaufman & Randall
property, operating under lease, is
producing mighty good grade of ore
from the Bluebird Here is found
true hssure, and that the ore will go
