Since the weather has become more
pleasant and the roads better for
travel it appears that there is con-
siderable activity in the mining sec
ton of this district There have been
rumors of big things to be done here
this summer and that there is some
foundation for these rumors may be
seen by perusing the following brief
news picked up this week:
Miami Co.-The Miami people who
have an option on the Empire Nevada
property across the river from Yer
ington, and who have been prospect
ing the ground with drills for some
months past are evidently satisfied
with the showings they have obtained
as they have taken bonds on a num-
Der of other properties. They have
secured an option on the Dillon ranch
on the other side of the river and that
portion of the Martin ranch lying on
the west side of the stream They
have also made location of number
of claims adjoining the Empire Ne
vada ground Further, they have
of claims in Mason Pass, which gives
them a large acreage and which will
be developed by drills, the operations
to begin very short time. 1t really
looks, now, as though some big work
will be done in this part of the dis
trict 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 section. This
company is now sinking its fourth
hole on the Empire Nevada ground
and the results are said to be very sat
isfactory.
Gunn- Thompson Syndicate IT h e
Gunn-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 location large number of
claims in the range west of the Miami
holdings, taking in all the ground
from the Montana Yerington to the
Bluestone, and it is reported that they
have an option on this latter They
have also secured options on the Cop
pcrstone and Sunday groups in Mason
Pass owned by d. w. Mckenzie and
the Dickey and Carson groups Re-
port is that this ground is soon to be
lprospected thoroughly with drills.
