R E DAILY SENTINEL.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6. 1878.
sPEND YOUR HONEY AT HOME.

We doubt not that at least $4,000
per month goes from Eureka to San
Francisco for the purchase of mining
stocks. The correct figures may
double this sum for aught We know,
but the estimate given will serve the
purposes of this paragraph very well.
But little of this money is invested in
dividend paying stocks, for the reason
that it Is a popular idea with operators
that there is more speculation, that the
chances of a handsome winning are
better in undeveloped mines. Hence
it follows that our money goes to de-
velop the undeveloped mines of the
Comstock, Tuscsrora, Cornucopia and
other districts in the State. Now, We
submit that this is a very foolish piece
of business. There is not one of he
locations mentioned that begins to be
the equal of Eureka. W. undertake
to say that there are ten mines
here, showing great prospective
value, to one in any other district in
Nevada. Our great mineral belt,
stretching from Adams Hill, on the
north, to Secret Canyon, on the south,
is not equaled in extent and richness
by any other mining region known to
man. The ore bodies of Ruby Hill
are to-day the largest ON the face Of the
globe. 1t is but reasonable to suppose
hat the mines of Prospect mountain,
when developed, will prove equally
productive. Why, then, is it, that our
people will drift off and invest their
money in properties not half so prom
ising? The question is n of the very
highest Importance to every member
of this community. By the invest
ment of the $50, 900 along the range
south of Ruby Hill, which goes month
ly to help outside camps, a very per-
ceptible impetus would be impaired,
not only to mining operations in this
section, but to all branches of trade.
Fifty thousand a month is six hundred
thousand a year, a sum much greater
than has been expended altogether
on ~undeveloped mines in Eureka
District during the nine years of its
existence. What is needed is organ,
ICED effort at home. We want more
local companies and less running af-
ter distant wild cats. There is nc
valid reason why Eureka should not
have fifty paying mines instead of
the half dozen which now support
the community. The chances of sue
cess are more favorable here than
elsewhere. and if we but studied our
own interests we would "put our
money where it would do the most
good" We should give our own
mines and prospectors the preference
over those of other camps.
