SHELTER NOW
RECEIVING ORE
MILESTONE NINE WILL SOON
BEGIN SENDING PRODUCT
TO THOMPSON

Promptly on Jan. / the Blue
stone began dumping ore into the
railroad cars for transportation to
the smelter. The present haul to
the railroad is by wagon, and only
two or three ears a day a be ham
died in this way, but it is the be-
ginning. and in the meantime con-
struction is being pushed on the
r,ranch railroad to the 'Bluestone
just as rapidly as men and teams
can do the work.
The grading outfits are scattered
along the line pretty we'll, and the
short span of two miles will be
covered in a very short time. The
material for the road construction
is delivered and there can be no
delay in that respect. Within 60
days the ore should be coming down
from the Bluestone in trainloads.
But the fact remains that ship
ments to the smelter are under way;
the Mason Valley has also begun to
ship, loading out a few cars from
the tramway each day. The Mason
Valley could easily deliver 500 tons
a day now, but is only sending down
its output in the proportion that will
be put into the furnaces with the
Bluestone output.
Mr.. Gelder is sending down about
three carloads every two days from
the Empire-Nevada, and this is to
be greatly increased. Several 9th
err producers, among them o. H.
Stone of the Mcconnell Mines COM
pany, are awaiting only the word
from Thompson to begin regular
shipments. 1t is understood the
Western Nevada VIII again be plac-
ed on a producing basis.
Fuel, material and general sup
plies continue to flow into the smell
ter yards at Thompson, and it is
now but a question of days until
smoke will be pouring out of the
smelter stack.
In the meantime there is a great
influx of people into Yerington and
Mason. The hotels and boarding
houses are filled and overlooking.
In Yerington there isn't a house
for rent, and the demand is in
creasing. One hotel mar at Mason

the door in either place.
The fire was a stubborn one ard

When water was first turned

cash register of the usual large size
seen in saloons and knocked it to
the floor. but although the water

the cheering information
that a contract has been let to

the management will be able to
treat 1000 tons of ore daily
through it's own plant, in addition
to the considerable tonnage which
is handled daily by the Nevada
Consolidated from it's Ora claim,
adjoining Liberty Pit. 1t is also
the intent of the management to
soon commence the shipping of a

from the Old Glory, Taylor, Giroux
and Alpha shafts.
The last statement of the CON-
