Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1880-10-08

The jefferson and Shoe Fly series, owned
by Thomas J.. Taylor, are next to the
jackson, and are mefitorious and promis-
ing locations.
To the west Of the Richmond are the Al
bion Consolidated mines, Ed. N. Robinson
Superintendent and Joseph Potts Fore
man. The company have fine hosting works
and machinery, q working shaft well tim
bered and constructed, and have since the
location Of the claims pushed the work Of
development with energy and persever-
ance. The faith Of the company has been
rewarded by the discovery and opening out
Of large ore deposits in various portions Of
the mine, and the outlook for a valuable
and paying property is excellent. The
demonstrated fact that the Ruby Hill lode
extends to the westward is n Of the most
cheering evidences of the permanence
and extent Of our mineral wealth, and the
addition Of another large company like
the Albion is an element in our progress
not to be ~disregarded.
Another important group Of mines, al
though not developed to the same extent
as those OF Ruby Hill, are to be found up
on Prospect Mountain, distant about four
miles from the town of Eureka. Unaided
by capital, and without anything except
the indomitable perseverance, and sturdy
will and labor, the mine-owners Of this
section have, since 1870, contributed an
aggregate Of $40, 900, 900 to the country's
wealth. With their scant means deep
working has been impossible, but several
enterprises are under way that will solve
the problem Of richness at depth. OF
these, the Eureka Mining and Tunnel
Company, General p. e. Conner Manager
and n Il Ruflar Gunorsn fan1apf 10 nna 80
the most prominent. 1t is driven from
the eastern side Of Prospect Mountain,
and has already reached q length Of 1850
feet, with the most encouraging indica-
tions. Ore has been found at a depth
that proves that the mines penetrate
and the enterprise will doubt
less prove not only q grand success to the
stockholders, but also inspire with cour-
age the surface locators. The formations
through which the tunnel passes also fur
nishes a fine study for the geologist and
all who are interested in the past and fu-
ture history of the mineral bearing range.
The Prospect Mountain tunnel is to the
west side OF Prospect Mountain what the
above is to the eastern side. It is essen
TALLY q home enterprise, the stock being
held by citizens of Eureka. 1t pe~netrates
the western slope of the mountain, start
ing near the base, and will run under q
group Of the richest mines in that locality.
A length Of / ,250 feet has already been at
tanned, and the work continues night and
day.
The Charter, Maryland and other tun-
nels are being run with the same intent
and purpose, and in each the projectors
are sanguine of ultimate success.
Among the mines the Silver Conner is one
Of the best. 1t is owned by Johnson, Stowell
q Co., and valued as one of the richest in
the district. 1t yields steadily q very high
grade Of ore, and large reserves are
out in sight.
The Williams mine, McNaughton 4 Tay-
lor owners, is also a splendid property.
It's yield has been constant, and recent dis
in the lower levels places it In the
front rank.
The Dead Broke mine, in the immediate
vicinity, is another fine mine, and its own
er. Martin Piantoni, has recently uncov-
cred a large deposit.
The Dug Out mine, owned by Mike Ly-
ons q Co., bids fair to develop into a first
class property. The mine has been self
sustaining for the past two years.
Upon the east side Of the mountain the
Ruby-Dunderberg mine, an English cor
poration, r. Richard Superintendent and
John Kermeen Foreman, is one of the best
properties in the State. Within the past
eight months developments have been
made in the property, ore bodies having
been uncovered Of large extent and exceed
ing richness. The amount in sight justi-
the starting up of the company's fur
.aces and their continuous operation.
The Connolly mine, John Potter Super
intendent, is noted for its regularity of
shipments Of good ore to the furnaces and
its unfailing resources. 1t is being ably
and vigorously worked.
The same may be said of the Piute and
Industry mines, Morris Hartnett Superin-
tendent. Both Of these have yielded well
in the past, and have al excellent future.
The Eagle series comprise some good To-
on the mountain, and Superintend-
emit r. P. McDaniels has in all of his ex-
plorations proven the value Of the ground.
The Banner Is another productive mine,
with a good history and bright promise.
The Alexander mine, recently purchased
by IN Eastern company, is giving q good
output Of ore, and the investment will
without doubt prove q profitable one.
The Sterling mine, Adam Hall Manager,
has been worked with system and profit.
1t is looking well, both in ore reserves and
promise Of permanence.
OF the Adams Hill group, the Will
iamsburg mine, owned by R. Richard, is
one Of the best mines in that vicinity. A
magnificent deposit Of galena ore has been
opened during the summer, and the ship
ment of ore to the reduction works is con-
slant.
The Silver Lick, Captain James Adams
Manager, may be classed in the same cate

acterizes the mine, and good returns its
working.
The Macon City and Lone Pine mines,
worked BY Moline, Jenkins 4 Frazer, have
been and now are steadily worked, and have
proved themselves to be self-sustaining.
In other localities, we have the Grant
mine, on Mccoy Hill, owned by Major w.
W. Mccoy, and worked by lessees with
good results.
The Mountain Boy mine, H. G. Kirkpat-
rick Manager, is another steady paying
property, yielding rich ore in quantity.
The Geddes 4 Bertrand is one Of our
oldest and best properties. 1t is situated
to the west OF Secret Canyon. The record
shows the mine to have been q large pro-
Queer in the past, and the appearance Of
the mine at present warrants mt in stating
that the future yield will more thar equal
the past. Messrs. Arlington and Bartlett
are the owners
The Hoosac mine is another o fthe early
day properties. 1t has attracted o great
deal of notice in the past OF account Of its
regular yield, and the future Of this prop
erty is encouraging. VIM. Wermuth is the
manager.
In this brief glance at Eureka Mining
District, the limits OF this report forbid
more than q casual resume. But few Of
the prominent mines have been mentioned
The list Of productive mines and their mer.
its would extend this report indefinitely
Suffice II to say that each year marks I
steady improvement, and no one &C
onainted with the field doubts its contin
ued prosperity. That We are yet in the in
fancy Of mining Is beyond question. and in
