New Yoax. May 1s.-At the meeting
Of the Bullion Club last evening O. L.
Garfield Of Eureka. Nevada. read o pa.
per ON .Ths Past and Present OF East
ern Nevada" Garfield Hrst gave q
sketch Of the country as 1t was more
than twenty years ago, before the touch
Of the magic silver wand turned the arid,
barren region into q scene OF activity
and excitement. He told how the town
Of Austin fourished until 1t had . popu.
lstion Of 1000, and how subsequently,
II fell away to Q few hundred. The i'm.
preston had gone abroad that the soil
was worked out, while In truth, although
the place had yielded untold wealth. II
had hardly been scratched over. In 1858
followed the White Pine heRira and the
discovery OF the famous Eberhsrdt mine.
the ore from which was almost . solid
mass Of silver. After the hrst rush .
rapid decline set In and the property fell
into the hands OF English capitalists,
and at present, through their enterprise,
the probability was that good results
will b Immediately achieved. The Eu.
reks District, the lecturer claimed, con.
tains the biggest ore bodies In the world.
Il had come into existence without -
boom, and 1t had been worked BY con.
sentative progress. The Richmond Con-
soliaated mines have ore which. at .
moderate calculation, would yield $2A,.
900, 900. There had been taken from
the Eureka mine ore which, II placed on
q three acre lot, would mako o pile 100
feet high; yet al n time the mine had
been offered for sale for $500 without
finding q purchaser. Since then the dis.
trict has yielded over $50. GOO. 00o. and
no estimate could bs formed Of what 1t
would yet return.
