Show Hi UK HAVE FIE COPPER ORES ! Remarkable Record Being Made by the Famous Copper Camp I of Yerington. B XQT ONE COMPANY J WITHOUT ITS SHOWING L Yerington Copper Company Has Reunion Thursday atthe H'; Commercial Club. I That there is not an incorporated I company now within the Yerinpton copper 'district without its showing of ( rio.h copper rock, is the remarkable but. j indisputable statement made to The I? Tribune Thursday by Superintendent i A. A. Alarsnl, of the Vcriucton Copper J company.. Mr. Marsal has been in I) charge of this fine property of Salt Lake talent ever since the organization B of the companv, and accompanied by M Director D. E. McPhcrson, of the same V company, arrived in Salt Lake Wednes- day evening on company business. I Thursdav noon, President Strcvell was 15 the host'at. the Commercial club, and all " the officials of the Verington Copper ' '! company' were the guests at a luncheon ; in their honor. Those present in addi- ' t tiou to President Strcvell were Charles i D. Hooklidge, Joseph E. Caine, L. R. y J IMartineau, S. V Derrah, and the two ' j above-named oiVicials. Yerington has a record that few if any Nevada camps can equal, and its I loyal supporters are proud of her. Mr. i lU'cPherson stated during the afternoon j'l that the Yerington Copper compan' f,J owns 13 claims on which are three Hj ledges of prominence. The main ledge N upon which the management, has con- tV tered their efforts so far has been open- Lj ed up for an enormous length along its ?Vi strike, and it. shows a widtli of from Ur five to forty feet. The company has , Lardly had time to do any great amount. . m of deep work, but the lower tunnel has k-i more than confirmed the splendid re- suits obtained along the surface erop- k pings ol tins vein. Cf For the distance already opened nlong the surfnee, this ledge has main- ll tained its richness faithfully. The !f copper values average from four to Li forty-five per cent. The lower tunnel, i which tapped the ledge at a vertical l depth of about 155 feet, demonstrated tt "the same to be IS feet, in width, with F H general average of four to five per cent red metal. Tn order to gain a , still greater depth upon this resource, j the management has started a shaft on this main ledge at a point stated to W: "be 40 feet wide. At so shallow a level ;.' as eight feet from the surface the man- jtd agemcnt found three feet of rock that Mil overages around the high point of 40 9 per cent copper. It is an interesting R,i matter for speculation to estimate the IM1 results of depth upon this fine vein. H' It is the intention of the company to w send this shaft immediately to the B U 300 or 400-foot level, as time will show K l necessary, for the sulphide zone is ex- W rjected to be reached at the former H level. Eventually this working will H serve to open up the ore bodies at con- H Etantly increasing levels, and the com- H ing season will witness a great amount H of substantial and permanent develop- H ment work upon this property- Mr. H McPherson will leave for Yerington on H Monday, while Mr. Marsal will go to H his home in New York before return- H ing to his active duties in the earn). H Both gentlemen expressed their grati- HB fication over the present condition of Qj the whole camp of Yerington. stating H that propertiert wore extremely high H and hard to get even by the strongest H of talent, which has been converted to H the merits of the camp a bit too lato H in the game. |
