REVIEW OF development WORK
IN YERINGTON Mining DISTRICT

cry in operation. The bad weather
and roads have delayed the work OF
getting the plant on the ground and
installed, but in a few days all un-
foreground work will be in full blasI y
The shaft will be pushed down to-
the 2O0-foot level and in the mean
time production will be under way
and shipments will Don be made reg
ularly.
Sam Garberino, of Bucksk1n,
leased and bonded to Mark McCor-
mack and w. H. Shaffer this week
his nine claims which comprise the
Copper Giant property. This ground
is about a mile west of Mickey Pass
and north of the Kaufman and Ran
dali ground. The leasers are held
to do a certain mount OF work on
the property and make a substantial
payment in six months and the bal
ance of the purchase price In IL
months. The property has a nice
surface showing and Mr.. Catherine
has done considerable work on 1t for
the past eight years which he mas
held it. There is a 55-foot shaft on
the property and a crosscut tunnel
which has cut some good ore at a
| distance of rs feet from the portal
Another tunnel hits the ledge at an
angle and follows the vein for 20
feet in sulphide ore mixed with red
and black oxides. There are a number
of prospect holes on the ground
! which show it to be very promising.
The East Yerington, or Pumpkin
Hollow district, is showing up to
be something more than people gen.
orally gave it credit for. This is
a gold belt with some galena n
silver showings. Some very line ore
is being opened up in the Knight
property and a carload has been
mined and sacked and is ready to be
hauled to the railroad as soon as
the roads are passable. AL Bovard
has opened up a good-sized body OF
shipping ore on his property inc
frank Meyers has some ground in
which there is some very fine ore.
Ross and Mcleod have a cookbook
ing piece of ground and are doing
some work on it, and there are others
who have fine prospects. There will
be several shippers in that section
in the next thirty or sixty days.
Yesterday A. j. Bovard sold to c.
Bovard his one-third interest in four
claims in the district for the sum of
$1,000, one fourth of which was paid
down and the balance to be paid
in one year from date. -lis property
has an excellent showing and will be
shipping ore in a few weeks.-Yer-

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE. AID
DRESSES BUSINESS MEN
OF CONNECTICUT

HARTFORD, Conn, March IA
William C. Redfield, secretary of COM
merce, in addressing the Business
Mems association of Connecticut ask
ed with a smile what became of the
threatened flooding of American mar
kets with foreign made goods with
which they attacked the new tariff
schedules.
He declared that the total imports
for the entire period since the new
tariff went into effect were actually
less than a like period a year ago.
What become of the millions in
goods which were waiting to be I'M
loaded upon us, whereby the power
to purchase more cheaply would
bring disaster and distress upon the
American industries?" he asked.
Instead, as we look back over the
cold hard facts of our foreign trade.
the remarks about flooding the mar
kets must have come is the remarks
of one that would rather not have
made them" he said.

CONDEMNS LARGE
SPUO SHIPMENT
NEW PURE FOOD INSPECTOR AT
TONOPAH GETS
BUSY

f. H. Addison, inspector of the
Tonopah did not have to wait long to
act in his new capacity, says the Bo-
nanza. Scarcely was the ink dry on
his appointment when he received a
call from the Silva Bergholdt Pro-
duce company, which had een a no
tice in the Bonanza. fIr. ADDISON was
invited to inspect a carload of pota-
toes that had arrived from Bigelow,
Cal, a small station on the narrow
gauge railroad near Bishop.
Inspector Addison found the ship
ment of 246 sacks to be inferior stock
and condemned the lot. The con-
signees wired the shipper to send an
agent here to look after the potatoes
and this morning w. H. Montgomery
of Goldfield came over to inquire. He
admitted the tubers were not what
they should have been as they were
scabbed and pitted by the alfalfa
beetle left in the ground after the
previous crop of hay had been plow-
ed under.
This morning, under the super
vision of Inspector Addison, the pOta-
toes were sorted and about 40 per
cent found bad. These were sen to
the dump.
Before this appointment there was
no check on the quality of produce
Skinned to TOnOpah and
had no protection. In this case the
consignees bought the potatoes in
good faith and paid the freight, but
as soon as they saw the contents they
took steps for their W protection
and the protection of their customers.

man, passed through this morning
en- route to his mining property at
Como. Mr.. Taylor said he expects
to be able to show the investors in
the prospect that they hold stock
in q dividend paying mine before
the coming winter.
AT the present we have six miners
employed getting ready to develop
on a large scale during the sum-
mer months. While it is true there
is pay ore in sight at present it is
the intention of the company to
open up the lodges and find out for
a certainty the tonnage of COM
mercial ore before the attempting to
mine on an extensive scale."-Ap-

MAY MILL IRON
ORE IN NEVADA
TESTS FOR PRODUCTION OF PIG
IRON NOW BEING CARRIED
ON IN RENO

Otto Taubert, a businessman of st.
Paul, Mimi, now residing in Reno,
has purchased the control of the Min
nesota Nevada Copper Mines COM
pany. and it is believed this is the
biggest iron proposition in the west.
The property, consisting of 20 claims,
is situated in the Yerington mining
district, Douglas county. The district
is 16 miles from Yerington in Chur-
chill canyon, and is also about nine
miles from Ludwig.
The property has every indication
of also making q copper mine as the
ore assays as high as GA per cent in
the red metal. Millions of tons OF
iron ore is exposed on the surface
and Mr.. Taubert is making tests to
convert the iron content into pig
iron, for which a ready market is to
be had not only in Nevada but on
the coast and in adjoining states. If
the tests prove satisfactory it is the
intention to have the ore treated at
the old Loder mill which is situated
near the gypsum works, east OF Re
no. At the state fair held here in
Reno last September the iron ore ex-
hibit from the Minnesota property
was awarded the gold medal.
Pig iron, shipped to Reno. costs
the local foundries about $50 per
ton. and if the plans now being work
ed out by Mr.. Taubert are success
full he will be able to supply the
product at a greatly reduced price,
