conditions brought about by the bulk
handling system, believing that it is
the only efficient and economical

state i'll which no city tax will be
levied. except for the payment of in

estimated city expenses for 1918 to he
$13,350. The estimated receipts, de
rived from the sale OF licens ses, water
rent collections. fines and road fund
contribution from the county, amount
to $ll APO In the city treasury is the
sum OF $1,000 which, with the cstimat
ed receipts, puts the city in the clear

PROSPEROUS RECORD FOR 1917

ounces of gold, 46,257.7l ounces os
silver and 13,914,764 lbs. of copper.
No additional mining property has
been acquired in connection with
this group nor has any new construct
ion been undertaken. The system of
mining is unchanged. No extension
to the established ore zone has been
made but this has continued to dew
elop satisfactorily. Future ship
ments will probably have Slightly
lower copper content.
During the year there has been
done as development work, 2,940 feet
of raises, drifts and cuts, making a
total up to date of 26,062 feet CON-
pleted.
A considerable amount has bees,
expended in underground develop
ment to facilitate the handling OF ore
economically. This work is, largely
completed and tramnling above No.4.
THE main haulage tunnel, has been
largely eliminated.
Mining and development costs
were higher on account of the higf,
cost of labor and supplies
During the year no additions of ina
portance have been made to the smeit
er, but some additional equipment has
been purchased to maintain the effic-
iency and insure the continuous op-
elation of the plant.
Due to coke shortage it was found
impossible to operate two furnaces
excepting for short periods. Coke
was purchased at high prices in Utah.
Colorado and New Mexico The sup
ply is now adequate for two furnaces.
Costs of smelling were considerably
higher than in previous years due to
plies.

The dedication OF the Service Flag
at the Methodist Church last Sunday
was most delightful service.
After the opening exercises and
special music by the choir, Joseph

icitous speech and presented the Ser

thanks. pledging the church to en-
deavor to attain to the lofty ideals
uttered in the speech of the donor.
The flag was then dedicated by

county and of his stalwart spirit OF
patriotism, and he then presented
him a Liberty Bond OF $4,000 and
10000 in greenbacks from the clti-
zens of Yerington. None of the mem
bers of the congregation had been

ute to the loyalty, hard work. efficien-
cv and patriotism of Mr.. Guild, his
fellow workers in the Council of De-
fense and the citizens OF Yerington,

much as any of them.

An enthusiastic audience assembled
in the H. S. Auditorium on Friday
evening, April l9, to listen to DR..
Dixon's address, why We Must Win
This War" DR.. Dixon certainly is a
most entertaining speaker-flled with
the true American spirit; appreciated
particularly by all loyal Americans at
this critical time His forceful and
spirited method of Roasting the
Kaiser met with the approval of all.
and no doubt the drive next Friday
will show the result of his speech.
Dayton is then going to double her
quota.
The other speakers of the evening,
Mr.. Beatty and Mr.. Willis spoke
briefly but clearly upon Liberty
Bonds"
If the whole country would become
aroused to the governments urgent
needs and respond as Lyon County
has done, there would be no necessity
for further urging to buy bonds.

These are now generally regarded as
