ALL READY FOR
FOURTH OF JULY
IN YERINGTON

Most of the business houses and a
number of the residences III Yering-
ton are tastily decorated in red, white
and blue bunting and the Stars and
Stripes" are much in evidence on flag
poles, trees and buildings. The pro
gram for the day has been printed
and circulated so thoroughly that all
will know when and where the events
of the day take place. The parade is
to take place at 10 a. m. and prize of
SIC is to be given to the best decorated
automobile; $40 to the best Horrible"
feature and $40 for the best float.
There are prizes all the way from 81
up to $l2 so for races and sports OF all
kinds for the youngsters which take
place at p, m, after the exercises at
IL a. m. AT the track there will be
horse races with prizes ranging from
$5 to $50. Among these races will be
Indian horse races and squaw riding
races.
The ball game which was to have
been played between the Thompson
and Lahontan mines has been called
off as the mines desired to play at an
hour that would be inconvenient for
all and interfere with the balance of
the program-they desired to call the
game at II m. and get through so as
to take the 2 o'clock motor for Reno.
The Yerington committee had agreed
to hang up $3.50 purse for this event.
To split things up little it is under
stood that Mason has raised $l75 for
these mines to play there sometime to-
morrow. 1t is probably just as well
that the big purse was not put up by
Yerington. The money has been put
into small prizes for other events and
in this way it will all stay at home,
We can get along very well without
the ball game, have nice, quiet lit
tie time, some fireworks, pink lemon
ade and be just as we'll off next day,
if not better

OLD TIME MINE
IN SILVER CITY
TO BE OPERATED

The Carson Appeal of recent date
says that arrangements have been per-
fected for the rehabilitation of that
erty in the palmy days of Silver City
mine, which made huge fortune for
c. Landers, who controlled the prop
erty in the palmy days of Silver City
The mine is still in the possession OF
the Landers people and the property
has been leased to a Mr.. Burns, no
now has force of men at work build
ing track to the McTigue mill, over
which the large tonnage of low grade
ore now in sight in the mine will be
transported to the reduction plant A
new method of treatment has been de-
vised that will make the handling of
all the tonnage in the mine profitable.
With the opening of this property
thousands of tons of commercial ore
exposed in the old workings will be
turned into bullion and large num-
Der of miners will be provided with
work, which means more prosperity
for the little old gold camp in the
western end of Lyon county.

MOUNT GRANT BUSY.

Alex. Burke and associates, who
have some fine mining property in the
Mount Grant section, expect to have
d little mill on the property soon.
They have enough ore of good grade
on the dump to make long run.
Harry Lewis, who has another fine
gold property in this district, is going
to put mill on his property as soon
as possible He has an old mill in
Aurora which he will bring down to
his property. His ore is very high
grade. This mill will also handle Gus
tom ore from several prospects near
by 1t will run by steam, there being
lots of wood and water handy.
This district promises to be camp
similar to Silver City There are nu-
merous prospectors who have nice
little properties from which they can
take ore and make nice clean-ups when
a mill is installed to crush the ore.

get a Whit of the alfalfa blossoms

owners shipped out during last month
about $500 in values. They have a
shaft down a little over 100 feet and a
ledge of ore four feet in width that
runs between $40 and SIS per ton.
There is no mill on the property but
a 25-ton cyanide plant is being oper-
ated by Mr.. Porter and the ore Tex
cept that which is too coarse) goes di-
rectly into the cyanide tank, and a
nice extraction is being made. Ore
that cannot be worked without crush
ing is being stacked up in expectation
of getting a small mill on the prop
erty in the near future. Mr.. Porter
expects to return to Luning after the
Fourth and resume operations

STATE DRY FARM
HAS UNUSUALLY
GOOD GRAIN CROPS

That the State Experimental Dry
Farm near Elko has exceptinally fine
crops this year is stated to the Reno
Gazette by Prof c. S. Knight, Dean
the College of Agriculture who Wis
tied the farm while in Elko this week
The farm has large acreage of
winter barley, which is now in the
head. and of spring wheat, oats and
rye 1t is estimated at the farm that
the spring wheat will run 40 bushels
to the acre 1t is of the Defiance
variety and yields the dry farm a big
price for seed.
The system used at the farm is to
summer fallow half of the land yearly,
using harrow to keep the mulch. The
ground now being fallowed is free
from weeds and in excellent condition
The system conserves moisture
enough to mature a crop but this year
there has been a plentiful precipita-
ton in addition.

EATING UP STEEL RAILS.

The Wegner Azurite Copper Com
pany, operating near the old camp of
Lunning, is purchasing old steel rails
from the railroad company to be used
precipitating copper in its plant
just completed. The plant has cost
about $4,000 and is modelled after
plants in use in Montana. 1t is said
that this teaching process is saving 81
per cent of the copper values in the
ores at much less expense than by
any other process of extraction.

INSTALLING LITTLE MILL.

c. w. Gallagher and associates, who
for some years past have been doing
a little work now and then on prom
ing gold prospect in the Walker Lake
section, are putting little 3stamp
mill on the property. In fact they put
the mill there a couple of weeks ago,
but the gasoline engine they had to
run the mill would not do the work,
and this week they put on larger
engine. The prospect has fine show
ing of gold and the owners expect to
get some nice little bars of bullion
from the ore this summer With de
velopment the prospect may prove to
be quite valuable one.

RAILROAD RUMORS.

Rumors have been floating around
this section for some days past that
the Southern Pacific Company is soon
to take over the Nevada Copper Belt
railroad and that the line is to be ex-
tended south at an early date. Such
an extension would bring Aurora,
Bridgeport and Bodie closer to rail-
road communication and would open
up big timber and grazing country
to the south and west of here in Cali
fornia. The rumors come from no
authentic source at the present time,
but what has been outlined above will
come to pass some day.

BRIEF MINING NEWS OF THE DISTRICT
FOR THE PAST WEEK

Nevada D Douglas-Archie J. Orem,
General Superintendent of the Neva-
da-Douglas, is in Boston comforting
with the Board of Directors and Civ
ing them the results of the expert
mental teaching plant During his alb
sence Superintendent War; is push
ing development work and getting
everything in readiness for the erec-
ton of the teaching plant at the mine.
The Casting Copper section of the
property is looking unusually fine,
Douglas Hill is responding literally
to further development and the Lud-
wig section is showing better than
ever on the lower levels There is ore
enough in sight to keep the teaching
plant busy for years to come. The
mine will close down, with the excep-
ton of the pumps, to give the miners
a chance to celebrate the Fourth in
Yerington.
East Side-The Constantine Bros.
are pushing work on their east side
property. A whim has been taken out
and installed and another 100 feet of
shaft is being put down. Jerry Sulli-
van is on teh job, which is a guaran-
tee that the work will be right When
this work is completed it will give the
property shaft 200 feet in depth, and
there is fine showing of good grade
of ore all the way down from the col
lar to the present depth.

CACHE OF HIGH-GRADE.

That a quantity of sacked ore from
the workings of the National Mines
Company worth $l4S,0O0 has been dis
covered is reported at Winnemucca.
Twenty-Five sacks of ore were found
in an abandoned drift when miners
pulled out the old tagging. The sacks
OF ore each weighed l35 pounds and
the ore is of an estimated value of
$50 per pound. 1t is supposed that the
ore was cached several years ago when
the Stall brothers were operating their
rich National lease.

BUM POSTMASTER.

The people of Wabuska are sending
in numerous complaints about the in
efficient and neglectful manner in
which the postoffice at that place is
conducted. 1t is more than likely that
they have good reason for complaint
as on two occasions that we know of
letters mailed to this Office have lain
in the Wabuska Office over the day
when they should have been forward
ed. We do not know whteher to at
tribute this to Democratic economy,
reform and incompetency or the
psychological condition of things in
general.
