BOND TAKEN
ON RUBY HILL

Raymond Walker. who recently re-
turned from California where he
spent several months on mining busi-
ness, reports that he bonded the Ruby
Hill mine in Pine Nut TO group of
we'll known Nevada mining men and
that work is to be started on the prop
erty within thirty days.
This news has been received here
with much rejoicing, inasmuch as the
snby Hill property is conceded to be
one of the best copper and gold propo-
sitions in this section. II. c. Walker
owns the majority Of the stock in the
mine but sertain interests held by a
Reno party has prevented Walker
from doing extensive work as has
been desired by him. However. he
has been plugging along in his own
way and has succeeded in developing
the property to a point where ii gives
announcement to capitalists to take
a hold and develop the mine.
Two years ago the Mason Valley
Mines company had an option on the
property and spent several months
with drilling outfit prospecting the
lodges. Although the mine showed
up to all expectations, other pending
deals prevented III company from in
vesting here.
The new company has alread put "a
crew OF seven men to work at the
Ruby Hill and are showing every indi-
cation OF pushing work on the prop
