| Show nevada bonanza copper one of the most prominent of the yerington properties attracting the public eye is that of the nevada bonanza copper company until recently this companas comp anys holdings consisted of about acres lying to the west of the nevada douglas and ludwi properties and known as the bonanza group in june of this year a consolidation was effected whereby the bonanza company acquired the property of the revenue copper company consisting of seventeen claims adjoining the nevada douglas on the north and east the consolidated interests make the nevada bonanza company the largest holder of mineral ground in the district and the plans made at the time of consolidation for a heavy campaign of development and now being rapidly put into effect eff act will place it in the front rank of the large operators the consolidation of the two properties makes possible a course of development cutting cuttin 0 across this formation are later dykes carrying fine copper ore and innumerable fissures are noticeable all over the entire group some of these have a strike nearly north and south and parallel to the bedding baddin g planes of the limestone while others cut at different angles these fissures are all mineralized and cutting across the entire width of the limestone as they do there seems little doubt but that they will prove up in the same manner as the mineralized fissures on the adjoining ground of the nevada douglas with which the formation is almost identical this portion of the companas comp anys ground is being developed by tunnels the group

this ground is most favorably located extending as it does from the boundaries of the nevada douglas to within a mile of the famous bluestone mine it occupies the very center of the great mineral zone one of the most important features characterizing this com banys holdings is the remarkably well defined geological conditions the revenue group is in a formation of sedimentary strata interlaced with
