THE OUTLOOK.

The outlook of affairs in Eureka is a
subject of universal congratulation
among all who have cast their lot
here. Never in the history OF the dis
trict were the prospects so promising
and satisfactory asto-dav. Our mines.
upon which every other interest de-
ponds. are all that could be desired.
The pernanancy of this vital and par
amount interest is no longer problem
a.ical. Thedevelopments of'the past
year have settled the question beyond
the pe%radventure of a doubt. The con-
tinuitv of our ore channels and the
productiveness of the leads or depos-
its of the district are now established
facts. This much could not have
been said Il twelvemonth since: nay.
five months ago. The Richmond and
Eureka Consolidated have each more
ore in sight than will be sufficient to
run the extensive reduction works
of the companies, respectively, for the
next two Years; and the end is not vel.
The X X and Ruby Consolidated are
equally we'll provided. The mines OF
the Hoosac and Silver West Consoli-
dated are showing especially well n
high grade ores. Many other claims.
which we do not recall to mind at this
moment, are entitled to like favorable
mention. The celebrated Geddes 4
Bertrand mine at Secret Canyon, and
also other mining properties in that
portion of the district. have already af-
forded tangible proof of their value.
Vigorous work is being done on the
several mines of the Bavse CONSOLE
dated, with gratifying results. The New
ark property, just across the mountain.
is not only looking, but yielding
well. The valuable mines belonging to
the Champion Company, in Diamond
District, are now in an advanced STATE
of development and are sure to swell
our bullion product the coming season.
\ number Of valuable properties have
been sent to London for sale and the
indications are that a large amour OF
English capital will find its way to
this section within the next fouror five
months. In addition to all this, we are
reliably informed that the Richmond
Company will shortly be provided
with extensive separating and refining
works, enabling such -four mine own
ers as may desire it to have the silver
and gold extracted from their bullion on
the spot. So much for our mining in
terests.
The importance of the railroad now
in course Of construction from Palisade
cannot be over-cstimated. When COM
pleted to Eureka, as it assurcdly will
be during the summer months. the
trade and travel Of that vast region OF
country stretching away to the south
ward as far as the Colorado river. and
w extending into Northern Arizona,
VII be brought to our very
doors. White Pine, Cherry Creek,
Robinson, Belmont, Phoebe, Morey,
Hot Creek, Heveille, Frieberg, Bristol,
Tenn Piute, Grant, Troy, and many
other important mining localities, must
all paytribute to Eureka. \ matter OF
still more importance. is the fact that
with the aid Of the railroad thousands
of OF Of low grade ore, now c0nsid-
cred almost worthless, can be treated
at a handsome profit. Coal will come
cheaper, and u mines generally will
be worked more protitably, thus
affording an additional inducement for
the investment of capital in mining en-
terprises in our midst. Our popula-
ton will be multiplied, the value OF
real estate greatly enhanced, and an
impetus given to all branches of bust
ness before witnessed in this
State. We repeat, what we have said
in the, columns OF the SENTINEL over
and over again, that Eureka is destined
to become the great mining and bust
ness center of Eastern Nevada, with a
population unequaledin point ofnum-
bers by any other town between Salt
Lake and San Francisco; and the most
gratifying circumstance of all is, that
the realization Of this bright future is
so near at hand.
