A Giance Through the New Book
Of MOlineIIi &-CO.

VI MOllnelIi G-CO.
We have been permitted to make a hasty
examination of advanced copies Of Molin-
ELI q Cos new book, devoted to the re-
sources Of Eureka District. 1t is a valua-
BILE little book, and its general circulation
in the East, just at this time, would be Of
incalculable benefit to every industry and
branch OF business in Eureka, by attracting
capital to our mines. There should be
some concerted effort made by the citi-
zens OF Eureka to place an extra edition
OF 1000 or 5000 in the hands Of the
Eastern public. Hundreds of mines in
our district are noticed and described in
detail, and a thorough knowledge Of smelt-
ing and silver-lead mining in all of its
bearings is impaired. The rapid progress
OF the district, and the annual and total
bullion product Of the same is given in
readable and attractive form. Running
rapidly over its pages, we give the manner
in which the authors address the public.
Following is the
PREFACE
Well knowing its imperfections and
shortcomings, we ask for our work the
lenient criticism of the public; and, while
claiming nothing as authors. we ask fair
consideration as book-makers.
To those who have afforded us the means
Of compiling the information contained in
these pages, we tender our sincere thanks.

which the past and present Of Eureka will
not corroborate, with clear conscience, with
naught set down in malice, and nothing
~extenuated, we submit our book to the
public.
DEDICATION.
To the memory of the early prospectors
Of the Base Range this work is most re-
spectfully dedicated.

PERSONAL MENTION.
Appropriate and just notices are inter
spersed, throughout the work, Of Hon. c.
C. Goodwin, Major w. w. Mccoy. G. Col
lier Robbins, David Il. Buel, the late Isaac
C. Batenan, and the senior member Of the
SENTINEL, early settlers of Eureka and pro-
motors of the district.
In the foregoing pages we have endeay-
ored to give, fairly and impartially, the
vast resources Of Eureka county. We have
not, like the founders of Duluth, sought to
make our District appear the hub Of the
universe, mol shown by our illustrations,
conyerging radii, centering in the Base
Range. The untamed buffalo has nc part
in our book; the Piegan Indians have
given place to the mild Piutes fact, not
fiction, has been our guide. Imagination
has been overcome by reality, shorn of law
ish encomiums, and almost stern in its de-
scriptions, our work can be relied on Us a
true, fair and temperate statement Of the
of our county. Beauty-Eureka
has none her scenery is rugged and wild,
but the drear hills that eviron her contain
the germs of untold treasure. Her growth
has been steady mot mushrooml, and her
prosperity is more assured to-day than that
Virginia City. That we have done but
scant justice to our subject We sre aware,
but trust that our readers will not, like US,
to STE the end.
