BULLION

this camp Just now. Some time ago we
gave to our readers q brief description Of
the underground workings Of the Eber-
hardt & Aurora Company's mines on
Treasure Hill. We told our readers what
we saw, and gave them a slight idea of
the immense body of ore in sight as well
as its richness. We predicted that under
the direction of Manager Drake the ship
ment of bullion from those mines would
astonish the mining world in ashort time,
considering that the company were only
running a 3O-stamp mill. How far those
predictions have proved true we refer our
readers to the facts, for "bullion talks"
During the month of April twenty-five
running days. the company shipped be-
tween sixty-six and sixty-seven thousand
dollars, and for the month ending 10th of
May, have shipped One Hundred Thous-
and Dollars in bullion, and thereby net
ting a clear prolific of mot less than seventy
five thousand dollars to the stockholders
for the past month. That is not all, the
company has in sight, in the two cham
bers from which they are now raising
their ore, a years steady crushing of just
as rich, if not richer ore. than they have
been running on for the past two months.
These large shipments of bullion and i'm
mense profits will continue right along
for twelve months at least. Additional
teams will soon be put on to haul the ore
from the mine, and enough will be OF the
mill before the roads become bad, to keep
the stamps running during next Winter,
regardless of the weather. While all this
is going on, the indefatigable manager is
now, and will steadily keep sinking and
running drifts for more of those rich
chambers, or more properly, bonanzas,
which are sure to be found as depth is
attained. This is what Manager Drake
is producing by his economy, industry
and a thorough knowledge Of his bust
ness. Adjoining these rich mines are the
South Aurora, Ward Beecher, Original
Hidden Treasure and Mammoth, that
could be made as productive and profit
able, should the same enterprise be ex-
hibited as characterize the workings of
the Eberhardt & Aurora Company's prop
erty; but no, the latter companies men
toned keep their superintendent, fore
men, watchmen, and dozen miners en-
ployed, and two of the best mills in the
district lying idle. And yet, with all
these facts staring the owners of those
mines in the face, they carelessly sit by
and witness this stream of wealth pour
ing into the laps of the stockholders of
the Eberhardt & Aurora Company, and
they exhibit no signs of life or activity.
1t looks strange, but nevertheless it is
true. We do not intend to speak dispar-
agingly of Mr.. Fulton, who is the snpcr-
intendent of the last three mentioned
mines, for he has done all that he has
been permitted to do by those who con-
troll the property.
We trust the foregoing remarks will not
be considered dictatorial, but that the
stockholders of the South Aurora, Ward
Beecher, Original Hidden Treasure, and
Mammoth mines. will see that their val
liable interests have lain dormant too
long. and that they will this Summer
develop and realize great riches from
these properties.
