Looking for Lime.

AS most people know. considerable
lime is used i'll sugar factory, and the
Fallon sugar factory people, accord
ing to the Standard. are scoutin ,
around the country for lime deposit
They visited the old quarry near
Churchill Canyon on the line of the
Nevada & California railroad this
week to see if that deposit would an
swer their purpose. This quarry is
of good. strong lime, but it is not as
white as some lime and may not meet
the requirements of the sugar com
pany. They took samples. however
and will determine its value to them
at an early date. The old quarry and
kiln was operated by Reno company
some years ago with Henry Wede-
kind at the head of it, but
for some reason it did not prove a
enterprise II thi,
quarry does not suit the sugar men
there are plenty of other lime deposits
in this district that might. although
they are not so well located for trans
Oortation facilities.

Como Mining Co. Bankrupt.

c. c. Braun, of Dayton, and one of
the heaviest creditors of the Deep
Mines Co, which was operating a
couple of years ago at the old camp
of Como, having secured the old
Como Eureka property. was elected
trustee of the property at Reno on
Monday of this week. Application
had been made by the company to be
adjudged a bankrupt. and the case
came up before J. Poujade, referee
in bankruptcy for Nevada There was
no opposition to the election of Mr..
Braun and nearly all of the credit
ors were represented. Claims to the
amount of Sl4.17315 were filed and
there were some $1,000 in claims that
were not properly presented and could
not be recognized. Several Dayton
and Virginia City people are creditors
of the company. AT the present time
there is nothing doing at the proper
ty. on which the company erected a
mill and cyanide plant about year
ago at considerable expense The com
pnay seems to have followed the old
worn-out policy of mine promotion in
Nevada-bulding mill before it had
mine.

G. M. FRASER SUCCUMBS TO
TYPHOID.
Traffic Manager of Copper Belt Road
Passes Away Thursday Night.

The sad news was received here late
Thursday night that G. NJ. Fraser, OF
Mason. Traffic Manager of the Ne
vada Copper Belt Railroad, had sue
cumbed to the attack of typhoid fever
that had Frustrated him for the past
two weeks or more. Early in the day
unfavorable reports as TO his condi
ton were received here. but his many
friends still hoped for the best. Ev-
erything that could be done by physi-
clans was done 10 keep the Grim
Reaper from invading the home, but
all to no purpose.
e.. Nj. Fraser was a native OF Nor
folk. Nebraska, aged 3S years and
some months. His first work as rail
road employe began in Nebraska when
he was employed as station agent
on the c. & \. w. road. From that
position he was advanced to the po-
sition of freight solicitor for the III
inois Central. with headquarters at
Salt Lake City. This position he held
until given that of traffic manager on
the Nevada Copper Belt. He came to
Nevada when this road was first
started and for time was located at
Wabuska, later moving to Mason and
bringing his family there to reside He
leaves to mourn his untimely taking
away widow, a daughter, Lois, aged
II years. a son, Leroy, aged IS years,
and little daughter few months old,
besides host of warm and sincere
friends. Mr.. Fraser was a Mason in
good standing and the members of
that order will conduct the funeral
services at Mason tomorrow before
the remains are shipped to Salt Lake
City for burial
G.. NJ. Fraser was a good citizen.
conscientious Christian, a. man of
many affairs. and just and honorable
in all his dealings with his fellow man.
His family has lost devoted husband
and father his home town promoter
and builder and the district at large

last general election Mr. Fraser was
chosen bv the people of Lyon county
as one of the County Board of Edu-
cation as he took deep interest i'm

and it will be hard to find person to
take his place on this Board who will
give school matters the earnest con-
sideration he did With the host of

PREVENTION BETTER THAN
A CURE.
Time to Clean Up the City and Put
1t in a Sanitary Condition.

1t is reported that there are twenty
odd cases of typhoid fever in the town
of Mason, and one of these has al
ready proved fatal. There is also one
case OF this disease i'll Icrington, and
there will be more if action is not
taken to clean up the city and do
away with the cesspools and sumps
that are receiving drainage from sinks,
bathrooms and toilets. Yerington
now has a water and sewer system and
the places in the thickly settled por-
ton of the city should be forced to
connect with these sanitary improve
ments. We do not want an epidemic
OF typhoid fever here. and there is no
danger Of one if ordinary caution is
used and cleanliness observed To
be on the safe side OF this condition
it would be well to have the city wa
ter tank emptied and cleaned, all the
cesspools sprinkled with quick lime
and filled up, the plumbing in water
closets examined to see if the traps
are working as they should and the
work done in proper manner. To
make sure that the water supply is not
tainted it might be well to have an
analysis made of the water 1t would
seem that the water should be pure,
as il comes from deep wells, cased so
that no surface water can mingle with
the water i'll the pipes 1t should be
known that the dead ends in the water
mains are flushed daily at this season
OF the year The milk that is being
used generally should be tested for
an impurities that may exist. and so
should the butter that is in general
use and sold at the stores Back yards
should be cleaned up and no slops
emptied in them to breed disease
germs. There can be no serious cpl
denies of any kind where cleanliness
prevails, therefore see that everything
about your place is kept scrupulously
clean. The time to do this is now. be
fore the damage from filth occurs.
An ouce of prevention is worth a
pounds OF cure
Some people may think it unwiSe
to mention such facts as the above in
a newspaper. claiming that it will adj
vertise to the outside world our un-
cleanly condition. We believe the facts
should be made public so that the dan
ger can be avoided. Yerington is nat
urally a clean and healthy place: she
can be kept so at little expense and

RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS
IN THE DISTRICT FOR PAST week

drift is now in a soft. broken forma-
ton, carrying considerable copper, the
face looking much better than at any
time since drift has started. On the
fifty-foot level. running north from the
main raise, they have crosscut twenty
FIVE feet OF eight per cent ore with ore
still in the face. They are getting un-
der the old Ludwig stope which was
in the tunnel level above. The mine,
taken as whole. is looking better and
bigger than ever, and is ready now to
supply the teaching plant, on which
construction work will begin very
soon. This plant will be located near
the town of Hudson. on the Copper
Belt railroad. and will be of 500 tons
capacity. The engineers are now
making the surveys and drafting plans
for the plant and it is expected that
all of the units of the 500ton plant
will be ready for business early in
1914.
Burlington n-Nevada-Dan Mcleod,
Superintendent of the Burlington Ne
vada property, located in Mason Pass,
was i'll the city yesterday. He is doing
considerable development on the
ground, cross-cutting and drifting and
opening up a good block of ore. some
of which is high-grade He has two
carloads of ore ready for the teams 10

Herman Property-Mr. John kier
nan. of Portland, Or, accompanied by
Jas. Lindsay, a mining engineer, were
arrivals in Yerington Wednesday
night, and were shown about the dis
trict by Al Wishart, the manager OF
the property in Mason Pass in which
Mr.. Herman is interested. and lett
the next day. This was Mr. Linsay's
first visit to the district and he was
very much pleased with what he saw.
II thinks we have very large and
rich mineralized district The prop
erty on which Mr. Wishart is
working in the Pass now has a
shaft down over 40 feet and
some very good ore has been encoun
tered-ore that will pay well to ship
A tunnel is now being run to cut this
ore to some depth. and is now in about
$50 feet. 1t will take another 100 feet
to reach the ore. when. if it proves
as satisfactory as expected, shipping
on small scale will begin and the
property will be extensively devel-
oped.

Train Ditched.

The south-bound Tonopah and
Goldfeld train ran into washout
along Walker Lake last Saturday
morning and Frank Cagwin, the en-
gineer, was quite badly hurt. Gag
win has been on this run for years and
was. therefore. not running very fast
The washout was in an unusal place
and he failed to see IT, on account OF
bend in the road. until his engine
plunged into it and turned over The
fireman on the run was also somewhat
bruised but neither were injured seri-
ously. The train was delayed ten or
twelve hours until a wrecking crew
from Sparks came out and straight
ened the track up.

Copper Exports-Present indica-

Copper Exports-Present indica-
tions are that the exports of refined
copper to Europe in the current year
will break all previous records, the
total shipments for the seven months
ended July 81, amounting to more
than half billion pounds or approx
mately 55O00.000 pounds i'll excess OF
the outgo in the corresponding period
in 1912, and about 65,000,000 pounds
more than was shipped in the first
seven months of 1911. Naturally,
these large shipments are. source of
satisfaction to the producers, especial
" in view of the depression that pre-
vailed throughout Europe during the
early months of the year arising from
the delay in bringing about a settle
ment of the Balkan controversy.-

Nevada -Douglas-The Copper Cast
ing section of the Nevada-Douglas is
developing into big thing, probably
the biggest in the Nevada Douglas
property. Several hundred feet of
drifting has been done on level No. l.,
which shows the ore body to be thirty
feet in width, the length not having
VET Deen Ueter1nllcu. oll lcNSl ~
? the showing is even better than on
level No. l. On the 350-foot level the
cross-cut from the shaft is into the ore
and drifting started both ways from
the cross-cut. 1t will take some time
to determine the magnitude OF the ore
bodies, but that it is whale has al
ready been determined and the man
agement thinks that from the devel-
opment in the upper levels this will
prove to be the largest body OF ore
and the highest grade yet opened up
in its vast holdings On the eighth
level. south OF the main shaft. the
drift has entered body of chalco-
pyrites and cross-cut has been
started from the main drift and will
be run to a point directly under the
big body of ore in the 703 stope. The
ore body is exceptionally large at this
point. and the values are unusually
high-grade. and there is every reason
TO expect it to be much larger and
better on the eighth level. Develop
ment work on Douglas Hill is produc-
ing excellent results. The Pearse

side, the mules switching their tails

said MIR. Shively, who is always ready
to lend assistance, and he jumped in

his whip and sailed off up the street.
Two hours later he returned, sweat
begrimed and ready to lick somebody.
He found that the company wanted a
