EUREKA. July l6, 1870.
EDITOR Danny NEws: In December
last | spent week or more in this see
ton After a careful survey of the sit
nation since my arrival, two days ago,
| am quite certain that somepody S peen
here since We peen gone : for the town
has nearly doubled in size aud smelling
works, and other improvements Of sub
stantial nature have multiplied in abont
the same rate The town is indeed going
ahead at a rapid rate, though it is still
modest, and can not be accused of putting
ON metropolitan airs. Buildings are be-
ing brought in in great numbers from
Elko, Carlin and other points, and rs a
result real estate in Napias is daily, if not
hourly, advancing. The arrivals are also
largely in excess Of the departures: though
the present influx can not be truthfully
set down rs ush. The excitement
which invariably attends n mining ex-
citement OF frst-class magnitude, is lack
ing. Still, the people here appear in-
tent on building big town; and unless
miss my guess Eureka will ere long be
one Of the most populous places in East
ern Nevada. Whether or not the mines
of the District are capable of supporting
town OF the proportions that will doubt
less be realized in the case of Eureka, re-
mains to be seen. As matters now stand,
only limited number of mines have
been fully developed; yet in every case
the general Indications, of both wealth
and permanency, are all that could be
desired. The Jackson, Bnekeye, Rich
mond, Champion, and Sentinel, are es-
teemed the leading mines of the District
and all of them are being worked with
dividend-paying success. Powder is sell
dom required in working any of the
mines have enumerated-the ore being
soft carbonate, easily and cheaply mined
with the pick and CAD. A few men are
therefore sufficient to supply the most
extensive reduction works with ore, and
in this fact lies the greatest obstacle to
the permanent growth and prosperity of
the town-tbe mines ,ciH mere, gire employ
me,d 10 dEy rery considerable number of
miners Proprietors of mines aud smelt-
ing works, however, have a good thing,
and most persons thus fortunately stu
ated will be likely to amass speedy
fortunes.
II was fortunate thing for Eureka
when those enterprising stagers, Wood
ruff a Ennor, stocked the route from
White Pine to Palisade via this place
Besides being great accommodation to
residents here, ii has been the means of
turning a vast travel this way, which is
more or less beneficial TO the BUSINESS of
the town. The stages arrive and depart
on time, and usually 80 loaded to the
guards. All who have passed over the
new route to the railroad, express them
selves highly pleased with the accommo-
dations. absence of dust and other COM
forts which mono hut the travelingpublic
can appreciate. II is indeed q pleasant
route and fast growing in popular favor.
Mr.. Woodruff is now at the front, per-
feeting arrangements which are to greatly
enhance the pleasures of n trip by this
line. The stages connect daily with the
cars at Palsade, and much Of the travel
to and from White Pine, passes over this
route for the purpose of obtaining n
view of the two new and fiourishing
mining camps-Eureka and Mineral
Hill.
Skillmon and McKenney are here cast
ing about for fulcrum ON which to
place their lever to move the world.
Their new paper-'The Enreka Sentinel
will make its appearance tomorrow.
The Eurekans are an appreciative peo-
pie, and the new paper viii be well filled
with live ads.
The furnaces are all in successful ope-
ration, and turn out in the aggregate
about sixteen tuns of bullion per day,
worth say, $1,000, Several new furna-
ees are in course of construction and
more projected
Col. Buel does not want the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor; but |
think he would be willing to swing
around the circle on the Congressional
course. CAss.
