The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-10-02

are glad to hear this encouraging news.
for the development of more mines is just
now needed more than anything else.
Two furnaces are about ready to COM
mence smelling, and at the present time
there is not enough ore on the dumps to
keep them running for more than thirty
or forty days. This is too short a run to
be profitable; an effort should be made
to oct ores enough to make at least a
sixty DAYS run We hope the mine own
,ers in this district will make their arrange
ments for a vigorous working of the
mines this Winter, SO that when Spring
comes there may be an abundance of ore
ON the dumps, that smelling can be COM
menced just as soon as it is possible to
haul the ores. 1t is now too late in the
season for any great amount of smelling
to be done this year. but all the necessary
preparations should be made during the
Winter for extensive working early next
Spring. Ores will be needed, and the
mining must be done this Winter.
VrsIroRs.-E. K. Howes and Mr.. Blake,
from San Francisco, and ow ners of the
Fay mine. situated on the west side of
Treasure Hill. have been in town several
days. They have been looking after
their mine, which is considered to be the
best base metal mine in this district. In
the present condition of the mine, it is
thought that eight or ten tons of good
smelling ore can be taken out daily. This
will be of great benefit to the Hamilton
Smelling Company, who, we are in
formed, have made arrangements to take
all the ores that can be raised from the
Fay mine. The owners of the mine have
decided upon vigorous development, and
will make IL commencement on Monday
next with a force Of ten men. Now that
ores are needed for the two furnaces
about to start up. we wonld be pleased to
see several other of our prominent mines
work and take out ores. Un-
less this is done. the smelling business
will not amount to much this season, for
the want of ores.
FROM LoNDoN.-Mr. Wild, one of the
Directors of the Eberhardt & Aurora
Mining Company. arrived here on We'd
nesday last, direct from London. We
understand that Mr.. Wild comes for the
purpose of making a general inspection
Of the mines and other property belong
lng to ths company, that he may give a
full and comprehensive statement of the
actual condition of their valuable prop
.rty from his own observations. We be-
ieve he will find the affairs of the COM
,any in much better condition than he
anticipated. and that his report must
necessarily be the most favorable that has
,ver been laid before the Eberhardt &
aurora Company.
