Negotiations were completed to-

Gregory ranch by the Mason Valley
Mines Company to p, ]. Conway;
the consideration is SIC, 600, and the
transaction will be closed tomorrow.
The Gregory ranch was purchased
four years ago by the Mason Valley
Mines company for demonstration
farm, being about the closest to the
smeltery of any in the farming sec
tion. The widow of the late Spencer
Gregory received $4,000 for the
property; since then about $4,000 in
permanent improvements have been
added to the place, and the new pur-
chaser receives the advantage of
these improvements--Carson News.

The report on the Aurora Consoli-
dated property says:
Since neither the total tonnage of
ore nor the grade thereof has checked
the original estimate, it is very prob
able the Investment may not prove
profitable. To offset this contingency
there is much uneXplored ground in
which there are possibilities of devel-
oping ore from which profit materi-
ally greater than at present indi-
Gated, may yet be derived. Within
The year, 139, 399 tons of ore of 81
grade were produced from which re-
suited a loss of $50, 2,37724. There
was expended on equipment and
construction $50, ,360.93, SO that
actual operating profit amounted to

since July, 1915, including all costs,
the prop rty has been operated pro-
titably. Ore in sight as OF January

is impossible to evaluate this ore,

known lady residents of southern
Inyo, died in Los Angeles Monday
morning, aged about 90 years.
She had been an Inyoite nearly all
her life. The Los Angeles Times,
publishing the death notice, gives
Canada as her native country; this
may be an error, however, us her
father, Josiah G. Dodge, was Ten
neseean. The family were among
the early residents of Lone Pine, and
there she spent her girhood. At an
early age she married Chas. Mates,
whose death occurred while he was

were born to them, Charley, who
died several years ago, and George
