WALKER LAKE ROAD
LEADS THROUGH CARSON

Within few days the highway on
the west side of Walker lake is to be
thrown open for public use. The open.
ing OF this highway should mean much
to this end of the state in fact, more
in the way of interstate travel than any
highway project undertaken in this end
of Nevada.
The opening of the Walker lake road
means that it is possible the year round
10 travel from the west end OF Nevada
to Los Angeles or southern sections
The road leads through this city, COM

there is but one short summit tc

Of the autoists from either side.
Leaving Wellington the road swings
through Smith Valley and Yerington
coming into the Walker lake grade
near Schurz and from that point skirts
Walker lake, making one OF the mos
scenic drives in the entire west.
This city has every chance to bid

Mason Valley Mine

l. 2feWith We reproduce the annual
report OF General Manager A. ! Nc.
Nal OF the Mason Valley Mines Com
par Tor the past year. The report is
OF l. terest not alone to the stock
hole rs, but to the public generally:
Mr.. Wilbur Judson, President,
Mason Valley Mines Company.
New York, n. y.
Dear Sir:
| submit the following report of The
operations OF the Company for the
year ended December 81, 1920:
Production
There was no production during the
year.
Mining Property: Mason Valley group
Development was continued at this
property until the end of April, at
which time it was completely stopped.
The following development has been
done i'll this Group this year and to
date
1920 To Date
Raises and Wines. 800 it. 1852 it.
Drifts and crosscuts, $40 #. 1920 It.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1921-04-30
Raises and Wines. 800 #. 1852 it
Drifts and crosscuts, $40 it. l9,620 it

The greater portion of the develop
ment carried on this year was done
below the 400-ft. level, in Blocks II,
II, SO, 80, l0S and 100. 1t will re-
quire a great deal more work to de-
termine the possibilities in the above
ground which really involves the pos
sibilities in the perperty below the 400
#. level, This development should be
continued when the mine resumes
cegular production as it can be done
much cheaper as part of the regular
operation than when the property is
operating for this purpose alone.
Gray Eagle Group.
The work published in last years
report was continued and completed.
The second raise found the ore body
of average thickness, brt of consid-
erably better than ave age grade.
A recalculation OF the developed
tonnage, using the information obtain
ed from the raise, shows the proven
ore to bes
1,o45,0O0 tons of OPS OF. Gold and
}23 per cent Copper;
100000 tons of .010 OF. Gold and
Loo per cent Copper.
No futher work was recommended
at this property for the present.
Property Under Option
Engineers have been kept in the
'ield examining new properties which
have been brought to our attention,
md options were taken on two
properties upon which we have done
ONE development work, but not
sufficient at this date to determine
whether it is advisable to purchase
| hem or not.
Smelter
Nothing was done with the plant
during the year, except some neces-
,arv repairs OF a minor character
| General
Persistent efforts have been made
Turing the past several years, but par
.icularly during the last two years, to
obtain fair freight rate from various
shipping points in Plumas County
California, to the smelter at Thomp-
son, Nevada. While Plumas County
,nlv started copper production lew
years ago, developments have been
20 favorable that it is now a tairly
important producer and will, no doubt,
become increasingly so. The ores
mined are practically all concentrated,
the product being shipped to Salt
Lake Valley smelters. The Thomp-
son plant is about five hundred miles
nearer the mines and with a fan
freight rate and some changes at the
smelter, should be able to obtain
smelling tonnage from that district
which colud be profitably treated.
The Western Pacific Railway has
refused to join in any through rate
This has necessitated applying to the
| Interstate Commerce Commission Tor
relief A hearing was held in Reno
before the Commissioner Examiner
during the month OF July. At this
hearing your Company was supported
bv the Public Service Commission OF
the State of Nevada, the Reno Cham
ber of Commerce and others, The
| Examiners recommendation has been
placed before the Commission. The
final argument is set for March 18th
and a decision by the Commission
should not be long delayed there
after 1t is believed that this will
compel the establishment OF just
rate. which will undoubtedly prove
of great benefit to your company.
