Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1874-04-19

Using locations upon which a great
amount of labor and money have been
expended, We cannot help thinking
II operations on Il large scale
Will be resumed upon many of them
the approaching Summer. Five miles
farther east we came to the promising
district of
NEWARK,
Now attracting well merited attention,
on account of Its many valuable mines
now opened and working. The ore is
rich and abundant and soae free mi l.
ing and some base ores, both carving
considerable >ulphuretS. are met with.
Newark district WAS organized in Octo-
her. 1866. 1t lies on the eastern slope
of the Diamond range of mountains.
about l. miles east from Eureka. Its
geological formation is of slate and
limestone, the latter CARRYING an
abundance of fossil shells. Many of
the mines of the district are owned and
worked with success bv the Newark
Mill and Mining Company. There are,
however, some of the most promising
mines of the camp owned by private
individuals. There are about 100 men
employed in the district, 80 of whom
are worked by the aforesaid company.
The mill is Il 20-stamp one. 1t was
started up lately with hut ten stamps
ami three pans, and after Il tour-davs'
run leaned up 5000 ounces of silver
bullion, which Mr.. Baron deposited in
bank last Friday. This gentleman has
informed us that everything will be in
readiness, stamps. pans, etc., and
QUICKSILVER, too, which has been
scarce, to stare up Oh Tuesday next.

and prosperous rum. There are several
feet of snow as yet remaining On the
slopes of the mountain, which inter-

DIAMOND MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
Next engages attention. 1t is stu.
atcd on the northeastern slope of Dia-
mond mountain, and is about Is miles
nearly due north from Eureka. from
which, like the ether districts enumcr-
ated. it draws its supplies. The most
prominent mine here is

THE EUREKA SMELLING y MINING

Has been pursuing operations on the
mines comprising its property the
whole Of the past Winter. The mines
are superintended by W. Arlington,
of Eureka. : tunnel has been run Il

on which the krntuck mine is situated.

the work is being done under contract.

THE CHARCOAL
Question is 10Y being very extensive

is one of no little interest to our citi.
ZcnS. The available fuel supply is
every day becoming >canticr and Scan-
tier under the increased demands
which our furnaces nave c:ltll success

chief agents employed to promotc the
prosperity of our camp, and anything
that tends to both cheaper and mcrca>,
its supply must he Il matter of Some
concern To all Interested. There is hui
very little wood OF any sort available
for coal to be me with on the mills
within il radius of y miles of Eureka,
and the area of the circle is every day
rapidly extending itself. Coal or COX,
we mus: have, if we would continue
smelling operations. Should the
former give out, or the price per bush
ii advance to such a figure as would
render it too dear for profitable use. it
follows that the only substitute we can
tall back upon to supply its place with
any degree OF profit to consumers. is
the latter article. Chcaptransportation
