Coming lastly to the status of the gigantic
mining industries OF the Yerington district we en-
ter a profound subject when we consider the tact
that this district covers the greatest area OF INNING
territory the American continent Speaking to
the stranger as we'll to him who knows the land
and to whom these mining properties and their re-
sources are matter OF common knowledge, let us
survey this vast field
The Sangtase range, lying just west of Yering-
ton, for a length of twenty-five miles and with
width of from five to ten miles is all we'll mineral
ing the range from one end to the other The mines
not confined to any particular part OF this
territory.
Prominent among the mines in the west side
Yerington district, which have development enough
to place them beyond the prospective stage. the
Western Nevada. Mcconnell, Yerington Mala-
chite, Columbus, Utah Yerngton, Butte 4erngton,
Yerington Consolidate. Mason Valley. Mason

pire Nevada, Nevada Douglas Nevada Queen. Ken
needy Consolidated, Wabuska Copper and Nevada
Calumet This galaxy of copper mines ships at the
present time about 900 tons OF day. and it is
predicted that within six months time this amount
of shipment will be more than doubled. Needless
to say the actual production of these mines is far
above this figure
On the east of Yerington lies the Walker Lake
range in which located the New Yerngton Cop
per mine. Mohawk group. Beach 4erngton, North
ern Light. Walker Lake Mining Milling Company,
the Sharp property, Nevada Gold and Silver, the
Wheeler. and number of others covering dis
lance OF about forty miles in length.
On the south OF Yerington in the Pine Grove
Rockland. Old Wheeler. and the Wilson mines,
which have aggregate production OF over So
100000 in gold to date.
On the north side of Mason Valley. twelve
miles north from Ierington. is located the Mason
Valley Mines Company smelter This most modern
plant went into operation only last December and
is responsible -SsF large-Share OF the prosperity
that has blessed this city Though this concern has
only furnace working. IT is able to run about 100
tons of copper day. Work has already been
started this plant TO increase its capacity to 24OO
tons day.
The money paid out in wages by all these in
dustries combined amount to over $4,000 monthly.
Experts predict that in year or eighteen months
there will be in all probability payroll three
times this amount. In closing this subject it is quite
apropos to say that the chances for investment in
mining properties at reasonable figures were never
better than now. Never there better opportun-
tiles for investments where big profits bound
be realized than in the Yerington section. but
that investment should be made possible,
in order to realize the profit spoken Of as all land
and mining properties bound to increase in
price very rapidly.
