product is equal to the best Salinas
or Idaho potatoes, but the latter are
III demand on account of having been
extensively advertised.
In answer to question asked by one
of the growers present, Mr.. Schwartz
stated that he would handle the
present crop on 10 per cent basis,
if given assurance that his firm would
be permitted to purchase sufficiently
heavy tonnage to justify them in or
ganizing necessary advertising and
sales campaign.
Mr.. Adams made interesting remarks
on conditions in the potato industry
generally, and particularly the exist
ing market sconditions. He stated
that at present Mason Valley potatoes
were practically unknown outside Of
the Oakland nlarkct, and in his
opinion this is most opportune
time to create demand for the Nc
vada spud in other California cities.
Mr.. Adams also stated that this val
ley could produce from 1000 to 1900
cars instead of 600, but first create a

The persons principally concerned
in the deal, according TO the report,
are those who already have holdings
III the Empire, and who also havetaken
over the Copper Canyon property at
Battle Mountain.
Their plans, il is said, provide for a
rcopcning Of the Thompson smcltcr
and the enlargement Of the present
milling facilities in the Ierington dis
trict for treatment by the teaching
and oil flotation process.
1t is also possible, it is reported
that ores will be shipped from the
Walker district jn Plumas county, to
Yerington, for smelling at the Thomp-
son sneltcr, which would probably be
opened UP for custom ores.
For several years negotiations have
taken place. at various times, with the
object of cffecting consolidation of
the Mason Valley interests and the
Blucstonc properties, but the present
plan, it is said. is the most ambitious
yet undertaken. If successful it
would unite practically all of the i'm
portant properties on the east side of
the range under one company and
make Yerington one of thc's largest
operating districts in the state.
