MINING LOCATIONS IN LYON COUNTY
STIR ACTIVITY AMONG COMPANIES

and who have been prospecting the
ground with drills for some months
past, are evidently satisfied with the
showings they have obtained as they
have taken bonds on number OF
other properties. They have secured
an option on the Dillon ranch, on the
other side OF the river, and thu. por-
ton of the Martin ranch lying on the
west side of the stream. They have
also made location of a number of
claims adjoining the Empire Nevada
ground Further. they have taken
options on a number OF groups Of
claims in Mason pass. which gives
them large acreage and which will
be developed by drills, the opera
tions 10 begin in a very short time.
| II really looks now as though some
big work will be done in this part of
the district during 1914 There are
some splendid surface showings and
it is generally conceded by mining
men that some big mines will be
brought into production in this sec
ton This company Is now sinking
its fourth hole on the Empire-Nevada
ground and the results are said to
be satisfactory
The Gunn-T Thompson people, who
own the Mason Valley mine and
smelter, have been quite active In
the district In the past few weeks.
They have secured by option and To-
cation a large number of claims In
the range west OF the Miami hold
ings. taking in all the ground from
the Montana Yerington TO the Blue
stone, and 1t is reported that they
have an option on this latter They
have also secured options on the
Copperstone and Sunday groups IN
Mason Pass, owned by D. w MeKen-
zie, and the Dickey and Carson
groups. Report Is that this ground Is
soon to be prospected thoroughly
NUh drills. There has been some
little rivalry between this concern
and the Miami people in securing
ground all along the western range.
Development and production on the
Negada-Douglas continues to be about
the same week after week New
ground is being opened up all the
time and the results are the finding
of the usual high grade ore for which
this property is noted. The company
now has about 12O men on the pay
roll and every month is adding thou
sands of dollars to its treasury.
