GREAT PROPERTY BEING DE-
vEL0PED AT WALKER LAKE
Hon. E. Kendall Tells About Property He is Interested in
at Walker Lake, East Of Yerineton

The following. which relates to a
property being developed some miles
east of Yerington, on the old Walker
Lake Reservation ground, is taken
from the National Miner, at which
camp Mr.. Kendall is now heavily in
terested:
Full OF vital interest and replete in
its suggestivcness that Nevada is the
great gold, silver, lead, copper, with
other valuable industrial metal depos-
its, is the presentation OF facts made
by Hon J. T.. Kendall as to one Of the
numerous properties located in the un-
I'developed Walker Lake district
Mr.. Kendall recently returned from
visit to the district and as mining
man predicts with capital applying
itself that the Walker Lake district
in time will prove what Ely and To
nopah on enlarged development are
proving.
The story of the property and its
associations are somewhat interesting
and show first the locations as made
by Kinds and Robinson and how these
with persiStency have had their ups
and downs in developing the property,
never losing faith in the ultimate out
come, and how finally they disposed
OF hall interest to Potter and Ken
dali in order to hold an interest in a
property in which they had faith and
confidence out OF which i'll time a
great rich mine would be made
1t presents the optimism OF the
prospector, confident OF the sign that
points where digging will open the
pay streak Kinds and Potter can
now point with pride. 81 told you so,
for according TO Kendall who has an
interest, they have paying ore shoot
with every forecast that the Lake
Shore Mining and Reduction com
pany in time will have bonanza

Other fractures or eresting veins
sometimes styled as branch veins
show phenomenal richness. The most
development upon one OF these veins
is on what is known as the lead
silver vein. This vein intersects the
big copper vein and on a bias defects
