NUMBER 25. NEW FIND AT MOUNTAIN VIEW On the Red Crow Group of six claims in the Mountain View mining district, 14 miles east of this city, the greatest gold strike of this region has been re cently made. The property is owned by Attorney N. W. Willis of this place in conjunction with his nephew, F. G. Wil lis, of Mountain View, and others. A representative of this paper lately visited the ground and was shown the unusual sight of a ledge more than 100 feet wide, opened" in a dozen places across its trend, at the foot of a steep hill it traverses, and giving panfiings of; ' free gold, running from $5 to $150 per ' ton. This gigantic ledge is opened in a number of places along its trend up the hill for a distance of about 600 feet, and I • pans well along, until the top is reached, where a careful test of the rock taken from holes dug every two feet across the trend for a distance of alxmt 30 feet •shows a value in every pan of #20 per ton or better. The owners are doing all in their power to develop and properly open this wonderful prospect, and ex pect in a few weeks to make it into a mining property for sure. The forma tion is a porphyry contact with granite, trending easterly and westerly, parallel ing the Mountain View and Big Twenty ledge, which lies about 3,000 feet to tin south. This tremendous surface showing, taken in connection with the rich ores already opened in the Mountain View and Big Twenty mines, augurs as great a future gold production for the Yering ton section as for any other in this State, and marks the future Yerington as a gold as well as copper ore producing center of magnitude and richness un rivaled. RESERVOIR ARANDONED Great Project in Antelope Val* ley Ruined by Government. From what seems to be an absolute reliable source we learn that further work on the Alkali bake reservoir in Antelope Valley is to be stopped, and the projected improvements given up, says the Gardnerville Courier. T. B. Rickey is the chief owner and promoter of the scheme to make an immense res ervoir of the lake, and to use the waters so stored to irrigate thousands of acres of land in both Smith and Mason Val • levs. He had installed valuable machin ery, including a pumping plant, had also made considerable progress in digging a tunnel through the hills separating the lake from the lands to be irrigated. He also was the owner of all the lands, with the exception of three forties in the bed of the lake which the government owned. The government claiming this a natural reservoir site, served an injunc tion on Mr. Rickey, thus blocking the further prosecution of the work. Real izing the long delay that would natur ally result before any progress could be made, if at all, Mr. Rickey has had his big teams there this week hauling away the machinery and materials—indicating the complete abandonment of the plan as commenced.

Some of them we have never heard of and some of them probably do not exist except on paper. The mining companies which are in the camp to do legitimate mining can, for a small sum per month, have a notice placed in the mining direeaory in the Times, and whenever an inquiry is i made reearding that certain company a ; copy of the paper would be all that is j necessary to send to the inquirer. It is | just possible that a few of the companies that are getting into the camp are doing so on the strength of the reputation made by the big ones. We have a dis trict that is truly meritorious here and it will not do to have it spoilt by the wildcat boomers. BRIEF MENTION If you do not read the advertisements in the Times you do not get all the news. C H. Miller, of the firm of Baker & Miller, paid Dayton and Reno a visit this week on legal business.

Ike Miller was an arrival from San Francisco the first of this week. He has been in Idaho for some time but could not stay away from the old camp any longer. Ike is looking well and hearty. BIG STRIKE IN WHEELER NINE A phenominally rich strike of gold ore ; was made last week in the Wheeler | mine, in the East Walker district some twelve miles east of the Charlebois ranch ! and within a mile and a half of the Res ! ervation line. Considerable work has been done on this property in the past year, since it was taken in hand by C. D. Rooklidge, J. E. Caine and other Salt Cake people, and there is now every evi dence that the property is going to prove a mine, not only of much merit, but of vast wealth. There are two nice ledges on the prop erty running parallel with each other. One of these ledges has been followed with a tunnel into the hill for a distance of 500 feet and all of the ore is of a mill ing quality, while some of it is very high grade. A tunnel has also been run in on the other ledge which parallels this one to a distance of 250 feet, and at this point a chute of ore was encountered which ran up into the thousands. The ledge is about three feet wide and is clear and well defined. In the long tunnel, in a distance of 500 feet, a crosscut was started for the other ledge and when about 27 feet had been run the ledge was struck and three feet of ore that w’ill run better than $200 to the ton has been opened up. Some of this ore will assay better than $1600 per ton. About 50 tons of this ore, which will run between the two figures, has been extracted and is on the dump. The formation in the mine seems to be changing from a granite to a por phyry and the ledges are coming closer together as they are followed into the hill. While they are about 50 feet apart at their portafs, in a distance of 500 feet they are separated by only 27 feet of barren ground. In all probability they , will close up within the next 50 or 75 feet and the ledge will become a larger and richer one. C. D. Rooklidge, President of the company, and Clarence Rooklidge, who is superintending the work at the mine, were arrivals at the mine from Salt L,ake last Sunday. They now have four men at work on the property and the little 5-stamp mill being erected is nearing completion. Keep your eye on the Wheeler mine, it is going to be a pro ducer in a very short time and will prove to be a very valuable piece of property. JUICE IS NEAR TOWN During the week the Electric Eight 1 and Power Co. has had men at work erecting poles between the town and the Nevada-Douglas mine, and this work will be completed next week. The juice will be on for power and light inside of two weeks and then everybody should be happy. It will make the city look quite metropolitan to have it lit up with electric lights, and those who are using gasoline engines will be glad to disgard them for motors. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETING1 Monday Night, July 1, 1907, For the purpose of considering the High License law proposed by the City Council. TURNER WINS The Supreme Court has decided that C. C. Turner is entitled to the office of County Commissioner of this county in stead of I. A. Strosnider, who received the most votes and was declared elected bv Judge Iyangan, of the District Court of this county. The Supreme Court threw the election returns from Churchill precinct out because they were sent in by mail instead of a special messenger. The counting of the Churchill returns would have elected Strosnider by seven or eight votes. Under this ruling it will, hereafter, be easy to fix an election most any old way by simply throwing out a precinct or two where the vote will alter the result and thwart the will of the people on technicalities. VISITORS FROM THE SOUTH Col. O. P. Posey, John Manon and John Searles, of Goldfield and other I southern camps, came in from there the i first of the week in a large desert tour ! ing car. They paid the Nevada-Douglas j mine a visit and also looked at some ' other properties here during their stay but were called back to Goldfield Wed nesday by telegram. What they saw of lour big copper district, however, mi : pressed them very favorably and they j will probably be back here in the near | future to take another look. ! Finning’s ice plant steamed up Thurs day to test the machinery and with a little adjustment things will be ready- to 1 turn out the frozen liquid in a very few days. If vou want a fine line of stationery at low prices call at the Economic Drug | Co.’s store, corner Bridge and Virginia streets. 3B. R. LJkM ... NEW DEPARTURE ...

Ornaments, Etc, l.ace Wind..w Cnrtains. P..r..ers, Cnu.h L. F. A. Budd was an arrival from Cali fornia the first of the week to look over mining property in which he is interest ed in the Fast Walker section. Considerable news matter is crowded out this week to make room for a big batch of ordinances promulgated by the City Council. Probably they will be more interesting than the news left out. W. C. Orem, one of the principal owners of the Nevada-Douglas mine, was an arrival from Salt Lake Thursday and proceeded up to the mine next day. He will probably remain here until the electric power is installed at the mine. The ball game last Sunday resulted in the defeat of the Guggenheimer team by a score of 24 to 15 or something like | that. The Yerington boys expect to go to Buckskin today to try conclusions j with the Buckskin nine. S. J. Swetrnan, the stone mason, be gan laying the foundation for the new Lyon County Bank on Thursday of this week. It will be a two-story structure built of stone, and the bank people are in hopes of having it completed in ninety days. There is still much trouble in getting lumber into the camp, and as a conse quence those who contemplate building are placed at a great disadvantage The cement block business and a brick yard ought to be paying institutions in the camp. Jay O’Loane and Alex Requa are pre paring to establish ah ice plant and lx>t tling works at Wabuska. from which point they expect to ship Wunder Beer and all kinds of soft drinks. Mr. O'Loane was an arrival in Yerington on this business Wednesday. The Times received its 4-horse motor last week and as soon as the power line gets into camp we will be hitched on to i our big press and ready to do business in a manner which will save a lot of time and allow of much more work be ing turned out, and in shorter time. Fourteen gasoline hoists and a couple of pumping plants have been ordered by that many different mining companies of Buckskin and they will all be in opera tion before the Summer is over. ..Some of them are already in operation and a couple more will be doing duty next week. Don’t forget that next Thursday will be the Fourth of July. We are going to have a celebration in the old camp that will be a hummer so it will not l>e neces sary for you to go away from home to spend your money. The next best place to go for a good time on the Fourth is Carson City. The Eagles are going to fly high in the capital city on that day. The new front for the building being reconstructed for Mrs. Mary Barton on Main street arrived the first of the week and the carpenters are busily engaged in putting it in and finishing up the build ing. bonis Menke will open • a grocery and fruit store in the building as soon as it is completed. Alex Requa, of this city, and Miss Ro sie Neilson, of Carson, were married in Carson this week by the Methodist min- j ister. Rev. D. O. Colgrove. The groom and his bride are now visiting in Salt bake, but when they return to Yering ton, which place they wall make their home, there will be a charivari band to meet them that will make any other band ashamed of itself. George Barrett has some nice home grown strawberries which he is distrib uting to his good customers. George did not forget the hungry printer in his calls. The berries are of the variety that George grafted onto the milkweed vines so that he could procure a combination of strawberies and cream from the same vines. And the berries show their rais ing. Governor Sparks paid this camp a visit the first of the week. He was out here mainly for the purpose of looking after some cattle he has feeding in the valley. The Governor says he notices many changes in the town every time he visits it, and is not backward in declar ing that Yerington is destined to be one of the principal cities in the State in the next few years. Dr. Niehter's team made a swift run last Saturday morning on the street west of Main. The animals were hitched to Doc’s little wagon and they ran square through a tent that was in their course. The tent was about ruined, being carried along on the wagon pole for some dis tance. Fortunately there was no one in the tent and the horses were not injured to speak of in their mad run.
