CORRESPONDENCE
From Tllorne

1t is alleged that resident of
Thorne finds little else to do now
a days other than amusing himself
poisoning cats. a pet domestic,
which had followed II prospector
from the hills to Thorne was admin
istrered a dose of his favorite poison.
Your correspondent avails himself of
this opportunity to draw the atten
tion of the county prosecutor to
this particular case.
The body Of the feline was
decomposed under the railroad ware
house, thus endangerlng the health
of the community and that of the
transient public.
1t is to be hoped that an inquiry
will be instituted to draw out the
real facts of the matter and if as
diabolical as alleged, place the gink
under restraint before he gets in his
nefarous work on the prospeetors
burro. The practice of throwing
poisonous narcotics about indiscrim-
inately belongs only to the haunted
vision of victim of delerium tre-
mems.
Dr. Pache was given a hurried call
last week to attend the illness of
Joe Deri9s son.
The entire crew of section laborers
quit work on the 10Th, for the reason
it is alleged, that their monthly pay
checks were sent to Sehurz instead
of Thorne. As this mistake was
made on the previous payday the
navvies became disgusted. The
foreman has been unable to procure
help since,

Luning Production
Rapidly Increasing
FUTURE OF COPPER CAMP ASSURED FOR MANY YEARS
TO COME; OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEASERS WITH
ENERGY AND EXPERIENCE
SPECIAL CoRREspoNDENcE

The interest in copper properties
around Luning continues strong. A
good deal OF feeling exists here to
the effect that the Mason Valley
plant will resume operations during
the current year but under new own
ership 1t is said that one of the
large smelling concerns of the West
will purchase the plant. The Mason
Valley Mines Company was an inde-
pendent concern. 1t is highly i'm
probable that with copper at the
present record figures, this invest
ment of over one million dollars will
be allowed to remain indefinitely
idle There is the best evidence
that copper will continue strong for
at least year to come as all of the
large producers are sold ahead for
nearly that length of time. In other
words there is little or no spot
copper on the market at present, and
AS fast as new copper is manufac-
turel 1t is delivered in fulfillment of
contracts made months ago. This
keeps the market from oversupply
and the price consequently firm.
Local copper men are interested in
the future of the Mason Valley from
the saving that would be made could
their output be shipped and handled
at Thompson instead of Utah and
California points. The freight rate
from Luning to Thompson is eighty
ceuts per ton as against rate of
four dollars from the same point to
Utah aud California smelteries. Ore
containing a copper content of as
low grade as three per cent to the
ton is now profitable where it can be
hauled for two dollars ton. Nat
urally the four to five per cent ore
is much more lucrative. There are
hundreds of prospects adjacent to
this point that are now pay proper
ties from their surface showings, and
although many new leases are taken
every week, the only wonder is that
there are not many more to dig for
this easy money. However no one
should undertake a copper lease
without some experience in copper
ores aud willingness to get in and
do hard work.
The old Copper Queen property,
belonging to the estate of the late
Fermena Serias, is now being thrown
open to leasers. This is an i'd a
leasing proposition with ore of ex-
centionally high grade showing IN
MANY places over the vast estate and
the added attractions, to u Nevada
pros pector, of wood aud water on
the ground. This property. located
years agone by Fremena, as every
one in southern Nevada knew her,
is splendid proof of the clear fore
sight and good judgment of this re.
markable old woman. Through ad-
