EUREKA DISTRICT.
ITS PRESENT STATUS AND FU.
TURE PROMISE.
A Hnsty Glance at The situation.

In an interview with o gentleman
prominently identified with mimi,
affairs in this section, who has just re
turned from a business trip to Sar
Francisco, we were informed that Eu
reka District is taking a rank in min
portance of developments made al
along the line. He informs us that h,
was overwhelmed with inquiries in re
gard To the nature Of the deposits, theil
extent and formation, and he has no
doubt that a large flow of capital viii
he turned this way a. soon as the mar
ket ex periences a reaction. AT present
there is M money OEiainable for the
purpose OF developing or working any
mine, no matter how safe or profitable
an Investment it may be. People have
become so frightened at the outlook
that nothing will persuade them to lei
go OF their purse strings. In his con-
nectiOn it is pleasant TO note tia Eu
reka stocks have not participated IN
the distrust, but instead have bravely
held their own during the depreciation
in values. Coming nearer home, and
| feeling the public pulse On the situa.
ton, we are Impressed with the general
h~opefulne~s expressed on every site.
| All concede The present stag nation. aud
| admit the dull times, but while taking
in sail to battle the uDtoward winds,
agree that it Tan be but temporary.
| Wait until the settlement OF the suits,
and you will see things booming, is
the usual commentary, and that event
is looked forward to as the end OF all
troubles, and the dawn of a better day.
We are inclined TO accept this view,
| and ae think that no one can survey
the district, and take into account the
prospects and developments. without
c%onreding the fact of its ultimate i'm
portaDce in the mining world.
THE ORE CHANNEL.
Commencing at the Hamburg on the
south extremity Of the vein as far a.
| explored, we find a mine that in Itself
would, if situated in any other district,
give it fame and prominence at once.
We gave a mere sketch of a portion of
the mine in our columns a short time
ago, and oar statements were not ex-
aggersted in the least. The section OF
the mine that we visited was one mass
of high grade ore from the grass roots
to the lowest depths explored, and
there is enough ore in sight, provided
that no further developments were
made. to keep four furnaces steadily
employed in reducing it Tor the next
twelve months to come. There are two
thousand tons ON the dump, and teams
are employed in transporting il from
the mine To the furnace. On the com

and extracting will commence. and the
Hamburg will employ two hundred
men about the niue and works.
ALONG TuE VEIN,
And a short distance to the north, lies
the Connolly. The litigation that has
retarded the development Of this mine
has been settled, and we believe that
active operations will soon be com
menced. 1t is a notorious fact that
here is a large ore body uncovered,
and the Connolly will soon become a
bullion producer of some magnitude.
From the Connolly to the Dunderberg
and Atlas is but a stones throw. Here
is another rich property that Is in
VOWED in litigation. The mine Is

grade bodies of ore, and The settlement
OF The question of title will let loose a
stream of wealth from its shaft and
levels. The Jarkson Is the next de-
veloped mine, and its lowest levels are
teeining with ore awaiting the starting
up of the Eureka furnaces to add its
quota to the bullion product. The

The Eureka Consolidated il too well
known for u to comment on, or boast
of. There is no doubt that there is
more ore in sight and awaiting the la.
bors of the pick and drill than has
ever been found in its hidden depths
at any previous time since its dlscov-
cry. The settlement of the mining
suit between it and It's nelghbor on the
south will unlock treasures that Will
IN Ike the "BonanZas" look To their
laurels. The Richmond comes TO the
front with new discoveries in the west
ern part of It's mine, a section removed
from all ground in dispute. No mat.
ter which way the suit will be decided,
it will remain one uf the chief mines OF
the district. Crossing over TO Adams
Hin, we find that mlne steadily pro-
ducing ore. Even the very low grade

from the fact that it is "A splendid lux
for the more refractory ores of other
mlnes, and for hat reason is sough,

naces At rates far above the usual
prices allowed for ores from outside
mines.
PROSPECT MOUNTAIN.
Thus i'm a general way w have al
luded to some of the more prominent
mines on the great vein that can be
traced for a distance of five miles,
Every one of them have the brightest
prospects before them and will be
adding their accumulated wealth to the
Golfers of tie world In the near future
We have not taken into account TIN
great ore deposit existing on Prospec
Mountain. That portion of the dlstric
is still in embryo, and although IL ha'
produced thousands of tons of higI
grade ore, yet it is a fact that the deep
est shaft on the mountain has oni,
gone down $50 feet. Such "A vast net
