UNTEs
TWO VALLEYS

One of the most interesting busi'
ness deals that hastranspired in Yer.
ington for many day was the re-
cent purchase by the Yerington
Electric Company of the Walker Riv-
er Telephone Company, the last being
rommony known as the Reading line,
in Wellington.
George West, manager of the Yer
ington Electric Company, lately pro-
posed to extend his Yerington lines
into Smith Valley, but permission to
do so was refused him blythe Public
Service Commission of Nevada. where
his proposed lines would compete
with the Reading lines.
This transfer places the phone lines
lin the Mason and Smith Valleys un'
der one management, and as soon as
the extension into Artesia and other
improvements contemplated have been
completed the two valleys will be
brought into closer business and
social RELATIONSHIPS. which cannot fail
to be mutually beneficial.

BIG SALT DEPOSIT
NEAR YER|NGT0N

| One of our prominent citizens
Mr.. " c. Bernard returned iron Fal
lon, where he attended the director
meetings of the Diamond Springs Salt
Mining Co., in which he is a stock
holder, and was employed by them to
take subscriptions for their stock
and look after their interests in this
county. He reports the affairs of the
company in good condition and fav-
orable prospect of getting equipped
for the coming season.
He further reports the Diamond
Springs Salt Mining Company, of Fal-
lon, Nevada, are preparing to handle
their salt on larger scale this sum-
mcr. This great salt deposit is locat
ed ~ miles southeast of Fallon.
Churchill County, Nevada.
The source of supply comes from
artesian salt springs which flow con
tinually the year around. The brine
from these springs is highly impreg-
mated with salt, in fact is from 26 to
80 degrees in density, one of these salt
springs is about 100 feet across. As
the brine evaporates, the pure salt is
deposited.
Salt will be gathered in windrows
by the use of large scraper, drawn
by tractor where it drains and drys;
this same tractor will be attached to
a dump wagon and elevator; when the
wagon is filled the elevator is discon-
nected and the load of salt is taken
to the track where it is dumped into
tram cars. A little locomotive will
take these cars to the shore buildings
where it is dumped into the shutes
from which it is sacked ready for the
trucks which haul it to the railroad
depot at Fallon. 1t is estimated that
three men with the use of this limited
supply of machinery can deliver from
the salt beds 50 tons i'll eight hours
Engineers have estimated this salt
deposit contains from 90 to 600,000,00O
tons. The salt is building up at the
rate OF 100000 tons year. Analysis
show it to be SO per cent pure and
better.
