RESUME OF CONDITIONS that
OBTAIN IN YERING1ON DISTRICT

Silver State-Lee Bartholomew
was down from his Mount Grant1
property again this week, bringing
another nice little bar of bullion
from a forty-hour run on the little
mill on the property. This is the
second little bar shipped within a
few weeks, and it was simply gotten
out to meet expenses. Hereafter
Mr.. Bartholomew expects to make a
regular shipment of bullion each
month. The gold is pretty fine, run
ming between SIC and SIT per
Mr.. Bartholomew reports the mine
looking well and the whole upper
section of the country in a prosper
Gus condition.
Mason Valley Smelter-The exper-
mental teaching plant that has been
in course of construction at Thomp-
son by the Mason Valley company is
nearing completion. 1t will handle
ten tons of ore daily, and is being
erected under the direction of E. R.
Weidlein of Pittsburg, the inventor
of the process. 1t is only for the
handling of certain classes of
and the sulphur fumes from the
smelter are to be used for precipita-
ton. The Mason Valley company is
the first concern to try out this pro-
cess commercially.
Sweetwater = Judge Costigan, P.
j. Conway and associates have made
a nice strike on their property To-
Gated south of the old Silverado.
They have opened up nine feet of ore
that will run $50 per ton in gold.
The development of the property
shows it to be of such ~permanency,
character and values that plans have
been made for mill to be erected
on the ground to treat the ore just
as soon as the material and machin-
cry can be hauled to the site.
Bluestone-The work commenced
on the Bluestone recently is going
ahead with an increased force of min
ers. The air pipe line from the Ma
son Valley plant to this property has
been completed and a night shift put
on. Evidently work is to be crowd
ed. The experimental teaching plant
being erected at the smelter by the
Mason Valley company is understood
to be for experimenting with the
character of ore in the Bluestone.-

fabulously rich ore of the National

The Buckskin National Mines COM
pany has a showing of high grade
and rich milling ore second to none,

Silverado = Shipments of ore are
going ahead from this old property.
Mr.. Wishart, the lessee of the prop
erty, states that he has been delay
ed on account of the high water from
the rapidly melting snow. There
was an unusually heavy fall of snow
in that section last winter. He has
sleds upon which ore is being haul
ed down the hill to where it can be
loaded on wagons. The mill chutes
are full of the same kind of high
grade ore that he has been shipping.
He has only a small force of miners
getting out ore. He expects to ship
a much larger tonnage AS
soon as possible he will get the mill
in shape to work the lower grade of
ore. There is a large tonnage of this
$40 ore in the mine, enough, it is
said, to keep the mill running jor
years. There are over 500 feet Of
backs to draw from.
Tonopah-This is the new name
that has been given to the old Monte
Christie property. Quite a force of
men are employed on the property at
the present time. A new boarding
house, bunk houses and other build
ings have been erected and a new
tramway has been built from the
mine to the mill, which will start
up about July L. The mill has ten
stamps. This property was at one
time, years ago, a very good produc-
er of gold and silver. 1t is now in
the hands of a Michigan syndicate,
financially strong, who believe they
have a good property, and under
present conditions of transportation,
ETC., expect to make it a handsome
profit producer.
Old Kentuck-The "Old Kentuck,"
away back in IT and '78 was a splen-
did producer of gold and silver, hav-
ing a mint record of 100000 pro-
duction. 1t is now in the hands of
w. G.. Glenn and associates, of San
Francisco. In its days Of production
the mine was equipped with all the
necessary mine machinery and a
mill. The old tunnel on the proper
ty is to be cleaned out, retimbered
and made the main working tunnel.
The mill will be reconstructed and a
force of miners put to work. This
season will probably see this old
time property again a producer OF
gold and silver bullion.
