Copper country miners boost Thompson smelter district
In the Thompson area the Mason Valley Smelter advances copper prospects in the Yerington district. Owners Guin Thompson & Co and several prospectors ship ore regularly, with properties like Anderson, Mayflower, Shipper Co ground, and Spanish Woman lease to Buster Brown showing activity. Tracks and auto teams haul ore four miles to the railroad, shipments mounting as tunneling and shafting reach deeper levels.

Do You Fear Consumption Ad For Dr King's New Discovery
A vintage ad promises Dr King's New Discovery cures for coughs and throat troubles. It claims two doctors said someone with consumption would die within two years, but after using the remedy they lived healthy. The ad offers money back if it fails and lists prices of 50 cents and 1 dollar.
Resume of Mining Operations in the District
District mining activity shows ongoing development across multiple properties. Copper markets rise with dwindling global stocks, potential price gains before year end. Yerington and Empire Nevada projects report steady ore shipments and ambitious expansion plans. Wheeler tailings advance with cyanide tanks in operation. Montana-Yerington and Mason Valley push lower-level development and ore production toward smelter intake. West End and McConnell facilities extend work, while Blue Jay and other sites see continued exploration and contractor activity.
