NEWS OF THE MINES.
Much Work Being Done and Results
Not Disappointing.

Sheriff Dick Randall, is looking to be
a bigger proposition than ever. Every
round of shots is opening up better
and bigger ore every day. The lower
tunnel reached the ore in distance
of about rs feet, cutting under the up
per workings about 80 feet. Drifting
on the vein has been in progress and
at present writing has been run SO feet
on the ore This brings the workings
to depth of about 20 feet under
the surface. From the upper work
ings the ore has averaged 9 per cent
copper at the smelter. The ore in the
lower tunnel will run a good deal
higher. The ore formation is in the
contact between epidote and grano
diorte and this promises to be as
big mining proposition as any in the
district, in fact shows better for depth
of the workings than most of them.
Another 50-ton car is being loaded
for shipment to the Thompson smell
ter by lessees Morg Cloud and Chas
O'Berg.
New Yerington-The New Yering-
ton Copper Company is pushing de-
velopment as fast as air drills can do
it and some very interesting develop
ments are being made which will
place this property in the front ranks
of the producers. The actual develop
ment at the present time has left the
knocker without any foundation to
stand on. A great many have ex-
pressed the opinion that if the ore
was there below the water level that
it was big mine Well, it's there, and
it will be there for great many years
to come. We must all concede it one
of the very big mines, the immense
assuring, mineralized, as it is, will
have a long period of production. The
ore is being followed both east and
west OF the main shaft There is an
immense future for the property. as
there are several thousand feet along
the ore before reaching the east and
west limits As the ore has been op-
ened for some 1000 feet it is evident
to the most disinterested that it has
an equal value with such mines as the
Mason Valley and Nevada Douglas.
McConnell-The Mcconnell ssss
pushing things along with the usual
energy. The new auto truck is in SER
vice hauling ore from the mine to
the railroad, at the rate of six tons
per trip, each roundt-rip taking about
an hour. The shipments will be from
now on rs to 80 tons day, possibly
100 The mine is looking better than
ever; the ore resources are growing
into big thing, and in the short time
that the present owners, Messrs.
Some and Ebert, have owned and
operated the property they have
placed several years income in sight.
Push, energy and attention such as
has been given this property has ac-
complshed wonders.
Malachite-The Yerington Mala-
chite is going along at about the usual
pace. More ore is being put in sight
every day. Shipments are going for
ward to the Thompson smelter regu-
larly. The workings reached through
the Mason Valley mine are showing
a mighty fine development of ore.
1t is reported that the ore body being
developed in the old Natchez work
ings is showing this part of the prop
erty to be whale 1t is also reported
that o. II. Some. who owns the con-
trolling interest in this property. has
given an option on it to Salt Lake
syndicate
Yerington Mountain-The Yering-
ton Mountain tunnel is pushing along;
it is expected that the ore will be cut
into any day. Quite tonnage is on
the dump ready for shipment, and
just as soon the railroad spur is com
pleted shipping to the Thompson
smelter will begin.
Nevada--Douglas-The Nevad a
Douglas is gaining notoriety very rap
idly. Dividends have been started and
everybody i'll western Nevada has
been started talking about this big
mine. Development of the different
levels in the Ludwig section is going
ahead at the usual rate of progress.
November has been the heaviest pro-
duction period in the history of the
mine. The Copper Casting section
bids fair to show as many surprises
as other sections of the big property,
while development on Douglas Hill IS
showing this section to be as good
and as big as any other part of the
mine. The property as a whole will
without question be producing from
700 to 1000 tons of ore by the first If
