FIRST CARLOAD OF
MATTE IS SHIPPED
Product of New Mason Valley
Smelter Goes to the Car
field Refinery

The first carload of copper matte from
the new Mason Valley smelter at Thomp-
son left for the Garfield refinery in Utah
last week Friday. The matte was made
principally of ore from the Nevada
Douglas mine, and at the Garfield works
it will be converted into blister copper
and then sent on to the eastern refiner-
les, where it will be turned into COM
mercial product. This matte is about 90
per cent fine and the first run of the
sneiter is showing that there has been
no over estimation of the value of the
ores of the Nevada Douglas and the Ma
son Valley mines, which are feeding the
smelter. In fact, the Nevada Douglas
is shipping some extremely high grade
ore, as shown by the output of the red
metal, and if the present average of val
ues is maintained the mine will establish
a record that has never been made by
copper property before. 1t requires
about ninety days from the time the ore
leaves the mine before it goes to the
several points of reduction and refining
before it becomes marketable product.
The smelter is now handling fully 500
tons of ore per "a hours and in the
course of a week or two, when the other
stack is blown in, will be handling just
double that amount. Up to date there
have been no setbacks in the operation
of the plant and everything is running
as smooth as clock work. There are nu-
merous smaller properties than the Ne
vada- Douglas and the Mason Valley in
this district now preparing to make
shipments of small lots of ore to the
smelter and there is no danger that
there will ever be a scarcity of ore to
keep the plant running to its full
capacity.

ings of about 81 per share on l5c copper.
and soc per share additional for every
l-cent increase in the price of copper,
says the Boston News Bureau.
The Mason Valley Mines Company
has outstanding l54, 900 shares of stock
and 81 600, 600 of six per cent bonds con
vertible into stock at $40, so that with
bonds converted it would have 254, ,OOo
shares outstanding.
The company's smelter, which will
treat the ores from the Mason Valley
mine and also do custom smelling bust
ness. is located at Thompson, Nevada.
The placing in commission of this
plant marks the advent of the second
copper smelter in Nevada, the Nevada
Consolidated plant at Ely being the only
other important plant of this kind in the
State. Western Nevada and the Mason
Valley district have long felt tie need
of custom plant, as the ores in this
district have been subjected to haul of
more than 500 miles to the Salt Lake
and San Francisco smelters.
The company expects to derive an i'm
portant revenue from the treatment of
custom ores, in addition to the profits
which will be derived from its own ores

High School Entertainment

The High School entertainment and
dance at the Rink Hall last night was
great success, both socially and finan-
cially. The hall was crowded and the
receipts netted nice sum for the
treasury and the people were shown
what the High School pupils could do
i'll the way of entertainment.
The choruses were all good. Every
one seemed TO let themselves out to the
limit. The girls i'll the double quartette
certainly know something about harmo-
n.y. They made the hall ring with their
sweet young voices. This was the best
musical selection on the program.
The characters in Love Under Diff
culties" would have no trouble in get

pany as they showed the feelings of a

girl in the case without saying a word.
Gerald was right there with the cane,
and Theodore knows the proposing busi-
ness. Viola had the sympathy of the
audience, for she was the one to suffer.
everything came out all right, though.
The characters in Timothy Delano's

Fox, who played the title role, showed
himself TO he an actor of no mean ability.

they are i'll service, nor at any time.
Length of continuous service is the only
requirement. All payments are made
from the general fund of the railroad.

has met with unanimous favor. The
first affair of this character was held III
1910. This year it has been decided to
hold the reunion on May 10. the forty
third anniversary OF the driving OF the
last spike connecting the Central and
the Union Pacific railroads. At these
affairs these railroads are rebuilt in remi-
niscence aud the old timers who have
not met for years recount their expert

ANOTHER STRIKE
ON MT. GRANT
Ore Running as High as
$1,000 Being Taken
From New Find

Word comes from the Mount Grant
district this week that new strike of
considerable importance was made there
about two weeks ago The strike was
made by S. Delzappo and p. Maonchi,
who have lease on the Wild Horse
mine owned by n. Poll. The leasers
have shaft down l35 feet on four foot
ledge of ore, and this ore is all of a
good milling quality, running from SIS
to $40 per ton. At the depth above
mentioned 4inch seam of white quartz
has come into the ledge which is actually
lousy with gold The stuff will run
as high as $1,000 per ton and there are
some beautiful specime ms of it. there
being more gold in some of the pieces
than there is quartz. This ore is being
sacked and will be shipped, while the
other ore in the ledge will be worked in
the little Poll mill near the property.
Delzappo is quite lucky prospector and
leaser. Some years ago he was one of
the leasers OH the old Wilson mine in
Pine Grove and lie took out some of the
richest ore i'll that property. Later on
he had lease on the Rockland mine, just
south of the Pine Grove property, and
from it he took SIS, 900 from l 800
pounds of ore. Just how long this rich
str eak in his present lease will stay with
him is hard to tell, but he has consider

GOOD SUPPLY OF
WATER IN WELLS
Pumping Test Shows That the
Supply is Going to be
Sufficient

AS result of a pumping test made on
the three wells which have so far been
drilled for the city water system Engi-
neer ]. p. Barclay reports delivery OF
$50 gallons per minute. The test was
made yesterday afternoon by connecting
all three wells together aud pumping
from them with a big $50 gallon per
minute steam pump hitched onto the
boiler used to make steam for the drill
ing machine. Mr.. Barclay considers the
test very satisfactory. The first we'll
drilled was dropped to a depth of liz
feet, the second one to a depth of l30
feet and the third one issdown only 10
feet but the latter one produces more
water than the first two put together
On this third well the heavy cement
stratas that were encountered in the first
two wells were missed and the drilling
has been through softer ground and
more gravel The third well is now i'll
fine bed of gravel at the depth of III
feet. Mr.. Clark, who has the drilling
contract, will now begin drilling on the
fourth well at once, which it is expected
will complete the supply for the system.
Now that there is assurance of sufficient
water for the system the other portion
of the work will be carried along as rap
idly as possible, i'll fact Mr.. Barclay has
been notified that the order for the steel
tower and tank has been placed, also the
order for the pipe, fire hydrants, valves,
etc.. and this material should begin to
arrive i'll about two weeks from date
Mr. Green, the chief engineer for the
system, is expected here i'll few days,
and in all probability the work of exca-
waiting for the pipe lines will soon be
under way. If the present weather con-
Times the work of installing the system
will be greatly facilitated and the system
may be expected to be in operation be-
fore the first of April.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness is too Generally Considered
a Sign of Advanced Age

bald-headed person does not have an
equal chance with one blessed with a
healthy head of hair, because badness is
too generally accepted as an indication
of age. Many large interpretations have
established an age limit, and refuse to
take men over IS years of age as new
employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald-headed
people may regain good head of healthy
hair if they will follow our advice and
accept our offer. We have a remedy
that we positively guarantee to grow hair
on any head, unless the roots of the hair
are entirely dead, their follicles closed,
and the scalp has become glazed and
shiny. We want people TO try this rem
edy at our risk, with the distinct under
standing that unless it does exactly what
we claim il will, and gives satisfaction
in every respect, we shall make no
charge for the remedy used during the
trial
We know exactly what we are talking
about, and with this offer back of our
statements no one should scoff, doubt
our word. or hesitate to put our remedy
to all actual test.
We want every one in Yerington who
is suffering from any scalp or hair trou-
BILE, dandruff, falling hair or badness TO
try our Rexall 49, Hair Tonic. We
want them to use it regularly-say until
three bottles have been used-and if it
does not eradicate dandruff cleanse and
refresh the scalp, tighten the hair i'll its
roots, and grow new hair, we will re-
turn every cent paid us for the remedy
for the mere asking. There is no form
ality expected, and we exact no obliga-
ton from the user whatever.
We are established right here in Yer
ington, and make this offer with a full
understanding that our business success
entirely depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers. and we
would not dare make the above offer un
less we were positively certain that we
could substantiate 1t in every particular,

Fred Hinze, Manager of the Nevada

here on the same mission They have
visited and conferred with large num-
Der of our farmers and we understand
that they feel confident that they will
secure beets from 500 to 900 acres in

season. The test run of the plant has
shown that the finest quality of sugar
can be manufactured in this State and
that it will be paying proposition for
the owners of land to plant it to beets to
feed this factory. 1t is true that the fac

beets to work on this season. This was
caused, as has before been stated, by the
people who planted beets not under
standing the business and by great
many hanging back to see what the
other fellow was going to do. But those
who planted beets in the Fal-
Ion section last year are going to plant
them again this year and they are going
to increase the acreage just as much as
they possibly can. The same thing is
going to be done in the Lovelock coun-
try and in the Washoe Valley section,
and it ought to be done in Mason Valley.
The company has arranged to have an
expert beet raiser i'll this valley if they
can induce the people here to put in
substantial acreage. This will insure
the growers that there will be no failure
of a crop ewing to a lack of experience
in the business. 1t is well-known fact
that the finest beets in the world can be
raised in Mason Valley, and it has been
demonstrated that the business will pay
