YER|NGTON MINES
ARE LOOKING GOOD
DEVELOPMENT OF HERlNGION.
BULLION GOING AHEAD
RAPIDLY

Little has been heard of late as to
what is doing at the Yerington-Bul-
lion property, but development has
been going ahead with W shifts as
rapidly as possible, says the Times
of that place. On the 4G0-foot level
of the big working shat, in the east
drift, the heading of which is some
200 feet from the shaft, a cross-cut
is going into a fine body c. ore. How
large it is will have to be determined
by future work. This is the same
body of ore opened in a tunnel some
500 or coo feet north, to a depth of
about so feet. AT the depth now
opened and so far south of the up
per workings indicates an unusually
large body of ore. The returns from
samples show that it is rich enough
in copper to ship to most any point
for reduction. In the north drift on
the 4OO-foot level the face is entering
the mineral bearing formation. The
whole face of the drift is in quartz
carrying a very satisfactory value in
copper. This demonstrates quite con-
clusively that the values are greater
and the orebodies larger at depth
than near the surface and speaks
we'll for the future of this property,
as it has a large acreage. w. r.
Pfeger is in charge of the mine
WNrE onH cnon1c tn h. va a most thor.
ough understanding of the formation
and the way in which to carry on de-
velopment work to the best advant-
age. The property is showing up
nicely under his work.
Greenwood Copper
The Greenwood Copper company,
incorporated by E. Greenwood and
associates for 1000 900 shares with
a par value of 81 per share, is a new
concern which has begun operations
in this district. E. Greenwood is
president; e: S. Boalich, secretary.
The main office of the company is in
Yerington. The company now has a
force of men at work on a large
group of claims recently acquired,
which are located northeast of and
adjoining the Nevada-DOuglas hold
ings, and without question on the
same contract. The surface show
ings are as good as any in the whole
district. Northeast of the Greenwood
property is the Kaufman & Randall
Black Prince and the Nevada Queen
all on the same contact, showing j.
to be one of the most prominent in
the district. The development con-
sists of a shaft which was sunk on
the ore to a depth of G5 feet. showing
6 to s feet of 10 per cent copper
values. A tunnel which will reach a
point under the shaft at a much
greater depth is being pushed ahead
as rapidly as possible with a good
force of miners. A comfortable camp
has been established just below the
wagon road and everything is in first
class shape for the big amount of
development that has been outlined.

In Runaway Accident

Virgil Cornell, a sheep man OF
Antelope Valley, had a miraculous
escape from death in a runaway &C
cident near Wellington recently. He
was driving a span of mules when
they became unmanageable. The
front wheels of the wagon struck a
rock in the road and it threw Cornell
between the bed of the vehicle and
the wheels. When he had given up
all hope of escaping alive the neck
yoke of the harness broke. The pole
dropped to the ground and stopped
the mules. He released himself with
only a few bruises.
