Inc RUDY Hill Mining report contaihs
the following full and complete description
Of the mines belonging to the Eureka Tun-
mel Company: Their property is situated
in Goodwin Canyon, about four miles from
Eureka, and enters Prospect Mountain
from the east side. For over . year work
has been advanced as rapidly as possible,
and il still going ahead with fair progress.
ORGANIZATION.
About . year since the company was in
| cOrporatsd with . full compliment Of re-

Butter. The capital stock consists Of 10O,-
coo shares, Of which 80, 900 were set aside
- . working capital. 1t was deemed neces-
sary 10 ct once place the stock on the New
York market. In order to raise the neces-
sary funds to push the work, and it found
| ready sale at 80 cents per share. At this
time only q few thousand shares were dis
| posed Of, as it was not desirable to sell it
faster than actually necessary to insure the
steady development II the property. There
are known to exist
FIVE DISTINCT LxDaEs,
All Of which will in time he tapped by this
tunnel. The ground has been p~rospected
ahead for ut least 1000 feet, snd the indi-
cations have been found favorable at every
point. When the tunnel had been run in
about 100 feet, q very pretty clay seam was
struck, but nothing further was encoun-
tered until its
PRESENT LENGTH
Was reached, which is nearly 800 feet. I'm
the face is a most excellent formation, and
the indications for opening up q body Of
pay ore are the very best. The rock seems
to be softer, as the tunnel il advanced into
the mountain, though heretofore It has
nearly all been hard blasting rock.
ExcnEouER.
This il the first known ledge which tic
tunnel will cut, and is owned by the COM
pany. Very little work has been done, yet
| the indications are very favorable to strik-
ing . paying ledge at the depth it will be
| tapped by the tunnel.
D~EsPKRANDUx
The shaft il down 40 feet, and an open
cut run in on the groupings. The ledge 10
three feet wide, regularly defined and lying
between quartzitc and lime. The crop
pings are just above the surface.
Two shafts we're driven down on the Nil,
ooe 20 and the other so feet, in both Of
which a small G-inch seam was struck.
IN
This location has been patented. Two
shafts also on this claim, the first GO feet
and the seessa 30 feet. Heavy gslena ore
was followed all the way down from the sur
face in the last named shaft. The ledge is
2 fest wide at<he bottom.
Asdrift was run an 200 feet for the ledge,
which showed considerable ledge matter
all the way in. A shaft mas sunk 80 feet
on the groupings and q snail strata Of ore
found on the contact between the quartz
lite on one wall and lime and sllale on the
other.

Nothing 40 Popular ~ a "lIObby.''
1t would be impossible for the Froliques
to produce anything in Eureka that would
meet the popular favor more thoroughly
than Hobbies" A large proportion Of
OUT population have not been in a metro
politau city for y~ears-have not witnessed
tho performance OF any Of the plays that
hare passed in and out Of the public favor
during that time, and therefore the most
pungent Of Goodwin's puns, witticisms and
hits in such extravaganzas as the - Ram
blers" would be unappreciated, because
not understood. But every one can appre-
eiate Hobbies" and in ii both Goodwin
and Miss Weathersby appear ut their best.
They are certainly very funny ~people-the
\ play abounds in nothing but fun-and
tonight the programme will again
be changed, and :" Cruets" placed on the
boards. 1t is said to rival Hobbies"
| and as it will be the last appearance of the
1 Frolidues, every one should embrace the
