Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1877-10-20

Ing magnates informing us that H
might be started to-day, Monday, mex
week, or not at all. A logical deduc
ton from his statement means that |
the developments Justify 1t, the smell
er will be started, and IL not, not.
X X CONSOLIDATED.
Passing to the X X Consolidated, we
learn that there has been a decided
improvement In the ore body, both the
percentage OF lead and its proportion
per ton In precious metals having in
creased materially. This Is a very en-.
~couraging feature, and will raise the
value OF the bullion return to a very
handsome figure. A quantity of black
sulphuret ore has been me. with on
the sixth level, of a very high grade,
and there is every indication of It's tx
pandiDg into a handsome deposit. The
driit on the seventh level is being ear
ried forward with as much ex pedit ion
as possible, the work being delayed
somewhat by the influx of water.
THE JACKSON.
The ore bodies in the Jackson mine
are holding but we'll, aud the usual
amount of ore, some 60 tons, are hoist
ed daily. Considerable prospecting
work is being done on the $50. foot
level, and two drifts are we'll under
way, with the prospect OF early and
substantial Developments. The new
pump was placed in the main shaft
during the week, and works admira-
bly,, easily controlling the flow OF
water.
CONNOLLY AND INDUSTRY.
Manager Potter informs us hat ev-
erything looks we'll at the Connolly
mine. A WINS has been started on
the 2oO-foot level, below the tunnel. a
depth of 500 feet from the surface, and
Is being carried down in ore. A Bur
leigh drill, with engine complete, was
received this week, and by its aid
work will be carried forward rapidly.
At the Industry mine daily ship
ments of ore are made, and the ore
body is looking spler didly. The de-
velopments in this property are very
encouraging, and Mr.. Potter's sys-
tematic management u be too
highly praised.
BALI EAGLE.
Operations at the Bald Eagle during
the week have been confined to the
sta rtiDg OF the new drift on the 275-foot
level. A contract to run 1t was let on
Monday last, but the miners threw up
the job and the owners are carrying it
forward o their own account. 1t IL
expected that ths ore body will be en-
countered at the distance of so feet,
and its completion will do away with
handling the waste and ore inore than
once. The negotiations pending for
the sale Of the property will eliminate
on Monday next. II the present own
ers decide to keep the nine, hosting
works will be erected at once, and
steam take the place OF muscle in
handling the output Of the lower
10 wells.
HAMBURG AND MORTIMER.
The Hamburg mine, and its neigh
Dor the Mortimer. are under the same
management and the locations con
tiguous. Both are destined at an early
date TO rank as first class properties.
everything at the Hamburg IL pro-
crossing smoothly, the depth attained
by the main shaft, and the connections
made at the $50 foot level with the
drifts made from the outside shafts,
facilitating operations. There IS a
splendid ventilation secured, and the
foul air, that at one time caused a sus-
pension of operations just as an i'm
portant ore body was met with, is now
u thing of the past, and no further
trouble IL anticipated from this source.
The ore body mentioned as having
been struck in the Mortimer, is com.
ing in very strong and will doubtless
prove to be a deposit of great value.
ADAMS HILL CONSOLIDATED.
The main shaft of the Adams Hill
Consolidated has been retimbered
throughout, and is now in perfect or
der from top to bottom. A cross-cut
on the 400 foot level has been started
toward the quartzite, and will be
pushed rapidly. The mines are look
ing we'll, and we expect to be able to
chronicle some new discoveries
shortly.
CTHER MINES.
The Hoosac Company are working
drift from the new shaft is making
good progress, and in the old work
ings prospecting is being carried for
ward with vigor.
The Metamoras hosting works are
nearly completed, and everything
will be in readiness to put the machin-
cry in place b. o o as it arrives from
the East. The furnace will be finished
early in November, ready for opera
ton.
A rich strike was made in the S,erl
ing mine on Thursday last, a % inch
vein having been encountered. We
understand that the parties making
the find have the property leased for
a period of ten months.
Negotiations are pending looking b.
the bonding of the Kit Carson mine.
This valuable property will probably
pass into the hands of a Chicago COM
pany.
