VIRGINIA CITY BOY
MAKES GOOD

Word received from New York
City by Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Ardery
announce. the very pleasing news
that their son, Capt. f. d. Ardey, U.
5. A., has been promoted 10 Major of
the Engineers Corps, receiving his
commission on May 18th. Major Ar
derry is a well known Comstock boy,
graduating Is years ago from the
Virginia High School, and eleven
years ago from West Point Military
academy He has made an excellent
record throughout his army career,
and was among the officers sent alb
road on the cruisers dispatched by
the government for the relief OF
Americans in Europe at the outbreak
of the war. Nevada certainly has rea-
sons to be proud of her native sons
for though her population may be
comparatively small, her sons in the
service are demonstrating the effi-
cheney and ability that is winning
them we'll deserved recognition. The
Chronicle joins with the entire CON-
munity in extending hearty congrat-
ulations to Major Ardery.-Chronicle

Reel Fight Becomes Real

A most realistic hand-to-hand fight
is staged by Director John Robertson
in the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon fea-
ture, Intrigue" starring Peggy Hy-
land, Marc MacDermott and Bobby
Conelly which will appear at the Mu-
tual Theatre. July lS, under the aus
pices o. the Catholic ladies.
Mr.. MacDermott and BrinsleyShaw
are the combatants and both admit
that they became so engrossed in their
blows and lodges that they forgot
themselves entirely. The punch and
vim which marks this scene in the
production speaks for itself and it is
easy to believe that both actors car
ried marks for weeks afterwards.

GOOD REPORT OF MINES
OF MASONIC DISTRICT

A personal letter received in this
city yesterday from Masonic gave
most encouraging reports from the
mines of that section. The famous
Pittsburg- Liberty mine which has
been in the hands OF a receiver for
the past two years, is now getting
into the producing class, in the hands
of Conway & Fredericks who have
taken leasing bond on the property
A rich ledge has been tapped and
from all reports the mine is now in
the shipping class. The ledge re-
GENTLY tapped is one which was not
worked during the earlier days OF
the property, owing to barren spot
in the ledge having been found by
the men who first tapped it. This
ledge is leading for the Rough &
Ready ground which is partly owned
by local people and it is understood
that workings will be started within
a short time in an endeavor to tap
the ledge on the last named claim
The Seria property-the holdings
of the Stall brothers, is employing
some forty or fifty men and is keep
ing the mill running steadily on high
class ore.-Carson News.

VIRGINIA YANKEES

The teams that met on the local
diamond last Sunday were about even
ly matched and the game was a good
one, Yerington defeating the visitors
by score of to 7. Our aggregation
contained several boys from our old
team and they made very good
showing Meyers did good work be-
hind the bat but the pitching lacked
pep. They made all our runs in the
first four innings and became too con-
fident letting the Yankees in five times

STATE OF NEVADA'S
MINERAL PRODUCTION

Gold, silver, copper. tunsten, lead
zinc-name almost any metal you will
and il is to be found in Nevada. Dur
ing the past several years the mineral
wealth OF the state has been develop
ed along constantly broadening lines
new camps springing into existence
and old camps producing ore with re-
newed vigor.
Tonopah mines. now in prime con
dition. are outputting record quanti-
ty of silver. which, at prevailing prices
is netting highly satisfactory profits.
Manhattan, awakening from long
sleep, is teeming with activity and fast
becoming prolific mineral center.
With all of the prospecting that is
progressing in this camp. additional
White Caps may be brought into be
ing. Rochester, too, is coming to the
front. having uncovered impressive
bodies of high-class ore, and making
a showing that is distinctly gratifying
to the operators of the district, Rand.
also, has commercial ore. and heavy
tonnage from the camp is in order
during the coming summer. Goldheld
after years of splendid effort, has sur
mounted many handicaps and SEEM
ingly is about to reap its reward in a
financial way. Properties in the dist
rict that have long lain idle because
of the low-grade or complex quality
of their product are being reopened
and their ores treated at profit by
the Coldfeld Consolidated notation
plant. New companies, further, have
organized to exploit virgin claims and
this year will witness greatly increas-
ed mining operations in the famous
camp.
Reno. the headquarters for many
old-timc companies. as well as newer
promotions, is feeling the effects OF
the prevailing activity and will secure
its due share OF mining profits. And
from Virginia City comes word that
in the noted Comstock district large
body OF high grade ore has been OPEN
ed that promises to produce many mil.
lions in new wealth.
Besides the camps mentioned. var
ious other localities are making steady
gains il mining. gradually developing
as their bigger rivals once developed
and climbing toward e,ninence as pro.
ducers.
Large acres of Nevada are heavily
mineralized; and the prospecting Sc
far conducted has disclosed only a
paltry percentage of the vast riches
that await discovery and conversion
into money. The future for the min'
ing industry in the state appears most
promising.
