pected this property will be in the ore
before many feet of drift is run.
Yerington Bullion.-At the Yering
ton Bullion work is being pushed as
rapidly as possible The shaft has
reached depth of 400 feet, at which
point a big station has been cut out
and drifts started for the big ore body
known to exist on this property. There
has recently been installed a compres-
sor and engine on the old shaft and
hosting engine on shaft No 2, about
a quarter of mile west OF shaft No
/. A hne gallows frame and shaft
house have been built and number of
new buildings erected for the accom-
modation of employees. Everything
IS working with regularity which
speaks well for the ability OF manager
Knox.
Mason Valley-The Mason Valley
now has the level below tunnel No.
IN condition to produce quite heavily
should the occasion arise for larger
output The shaft. or winze, has re
Gently been equipped with large
hoist, using compressed air for power.
The showing on this level is equal to
anything in this famous mine, which, if
called on, can produce an immense
tonnage of ore. Other parts of the
mine are producing an increased ton
mage and the entire property never
looked better. The tonnage shipped
to the smelter is increasing every
week
Geddes Bond and Lease-A crew OF
miners was put TO work on Monday OF
this week by Mr. Geddes on both the
Boulter and Mcdonald properties in
Mason Pass. 1t is the intention to
demonstrate the most feasible place
to sink a deep shaft to prove up at
depth the value OF the ore bodies un-
covered on the surface The surface
indications III this section are most
promising \ considerable amount OF
ore has been mined and shipped from
these properties during the past year
but as yet no great depth has ben at

Just how big this end OF the district is

Gently, taken under option by the
Gunn-Thompson people, is showing
mp well and development work is be
ing pushed as rapidly as men can do
II. \ point has been reached beyond
the cross-cut and this is in some $50
feet In the croSs-cut a winze was
sunk some years ago exposing a body
OF very nice ore This winze has been
cleaned ont and the ore will be mined
and shipped as soon as the drill hole
i reached and the necessary machin-
cry installed
Honest Endeavor-The Honest En-
deavor Co. is doing considerable work
on the Union Blue portion of its es-
tate. The property has been equipped
with a gasoline engine and a new gal
lows frame The shaft being sunk has
reached a depth of 90 feet and at thi,
noint a cross cut is being driven to the
ore. This cross-cut is now some O.
feet from the shaft and il is estimated
that a further distance of about 90
feet will have TO be run to cut the ore
Depth from the surface is being gain
ed rapidly from this cross-cut
New Yerington-The New Yering-
ton is pushing development as rapidly
as possible A new ore bin is to be
er cted at the mine and one at the
erected at the mine for loading ore
which will greatly facilitate shipping
The new manager is rapidly getting
acquainted with the mine and the out
look is BRIGHT for it to be big pro
ducer just from the ore extracted in
development
Kennedy Con- he Kennedy Con
is working a small force OF miners in
development. The ore produced in
drifting is forming quite a dump at the
mine and the property is showing up
as big one
