Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1877-10-26


EDITOR SENTINEL: Frequently
within the past month 1t has been
dinned into my ears ad n~ausiun, and
authoratively stated by the street Z
ner quid nuncs, that the fires Of the
Typo Consolidated Company's fur
uaces would not light up the midnight
gloom of Perecipico canyon again this
winter. Now, there has been no
foundation In fact for all of these re-
ports, and l here avail myself of the
present opportunity of giving an en-
phatic denial to all such silly and mis-
chievOus utterances. Such reports
sometimes have a very injurious ef'
feet; therefore, people should be care-
full how they speak Of a property
which has already exhibited such a
magnificent bullion product, and
whose prosperous condition has also
given such all impetus to mining
explorations in South Eastern Nevada.
But for the Tybo property. and the
lavish hand with which the close cor
poration owning It has dispensed its
ducats for its development, not only
Nye county, but that particular and
now prosperous section of It, yc!ept
Tybo, would not attract as much of
the attention Of the mining men of the
Pacific Coast as 1 am glad to they
now do. Why any person protesting
% have the interests OF this aud neigh
boring sections at heart, should will
fully circulate such false reports Is
more than / can conjecture. l write
not as the champion of the Typo Con-
solidated Company, and l have no
priv ate Interests TO subserye, beyond
renderingimpartial justice TO the prop
erty of company that has done so
much to develop and bring into no
tice the mineral wealth that lies buried
beneath the rock-ribbed hills OF the
South Eastern portion OF the State.
THE TYPO FURNACES,
Two In number, and having a united
capacity Of 50 tons each n hours, will
not only start up on the LIT proximo,
but from my own knowledge they
will make the biggest and most con-
tinuous run that has yer been made
since the Inauguration of active opera
tons by J. b. MCGEE three years ago.
When the head smelter, Mr.. Daniel
S%tringer, who is we'll known here
abouts on account Of his past connec
ton with the Richmond works, passed
through here last month en- route to
Utah, to visit his family during the
Temporary suspension of operations ut
Ty DO, it was at nee currently bruIted
about that he was not to return again
this winter; in fact that his s~ojourn in
the Eden of the Prophet was to be reg
ulated by his own desires alone. The
alleged reason for his going home was
that the condition OF the mines NO
longer
JUSTIFIED HIS RETENTION
AS smelter of the company. There
was not a ton of ore in the Tine-the
bottom had fallen out petered OUT"
in a word, it had became exhausted.
and no longer continued to yield up
its mineral treasures, and under such
circumstances the company had no
other alternative than to shut down
the works for an indefinite period OF
time. such is q sample of the non
sense that / have myself heard, and
that has been freely INDUCED in for
some time past. But it now 40 hap
pens that none of these things have
been, nor are!they likely TO be verified.
Mr.. Stringer has already returned and
will have reached Typo ere these lines
will have met the gaze of the compost
tor. On his arrival he will at once
commence preparatory operations,
and will fire up on the first proximo
the two smelling cupolas which he has
heretofore superiniended with such
marked SUCCESS.

The 2 G lode has been frequently
subjected to the critical examination OF
a few of the best experts on the coast,
and it has been as frequently pro-
