The Mining Journal OF April nth says !:
"In last weeks Journal we gave o brief
account Of the Dunderberg and Home
Ticket section Of the company's properties,
but as they comprise only a portion Of the
latter, it is but fair to submit for the infor-
nation of our readers a list Of the same.
In the Dunderberg and Home ticket group
must also be mentioned the Atlas, the Lon
don, the Malcolm and the Occidental. The
Bullwhacker mine is situated about two
and a half miles from the Dunderberg, and
is held under a United States patent. Valu-
able discoveries of ores have been made
here, only requiring an outlay of 81, 1000 to
render the same profitable. The deepest
workings are only about 200 feet deep, and
the lode when worked was proved to be
very extensive and productive. Doubtless
this mine in itself would command a posi-.
ton if the company owned nc others.
Prof. Clayton, when he inspected the
company's mines, regarded it as their
mainstay. He says, If the work is prop
| erly arranged the mine can easily give fifty
| tons Of ore per day so long as it continues
to maintain its present size and promising
character, and l see no reason to doubt Its
continuity either in strength or richness,
inc if the other two lodes open out as the
surface appearance would seem to warrant.
they will add largely to the general re-
sources Of the property"
On the west side of Prospect Mountain,
about one mile from the Dunderberg and
Home Ticket mines, are situated the Ell
Dorado claims five in number), for which
the company holds a patent. From this
group very rich ore has been extracted, and
Prof. Clayton states that they are in a posi-
ton to raise ten tons of ore per diem, rich
in silver and gold. At present these mines
have been let on tribute for one year to an
experienced and respectable miner, who
has already spent a considerable sum Of
money on his work. The whole of the
mining operations are being carried out
under the supervision of the %company's
manager.
On the Dunderberg side Of Prospect
Mountain and about q quarter OF a mile
from the Dunderberg, are situated the
Lord Byron, the Valentine, and others.
The company holds patents for these, but
at present 40 work is being done; much
Importance, however, is attached to these
mines, and experts deem them as promis-
ing as any Of the others in the coIhpany's
possession. A large sum has been offered
for the purchase of this group, but the
company has declined the same, as it is
evident they are Of great value. Mr.. Long
maid in his report made for the company
last July, strongly recommended the work
ing of these mines by means OF a tunnel,
and that operations should be commenced
as soon as funds could be obtained. Up
to the present the company has directed
the whole of its energies to opening up the
Dunderberg and Home Ticket group. A
valuable adjunct to the company's posses
sions is a freehold town lot situated in the
main street of Eureka, and runling back
some 500 feet. This lot contains two furn-
aces, charcoal bins, and all the requisites
for the reduction of the company's ores in
sufficient quantities. In connection with
this lot the company WINS freehold water
rights which are estimated to be of great
value in carrying ON the reduction of ores.
The statements with regard to the Rich
mond Consolidated Company are that a
further discovery has been made of a most
important kind, placing the property in a
higher position than it has ever yet at
tanned. The history of the Eureka Com
pany is astonishing beyond measure. The
return of ores in the past ten years amounts
TO the extraordinary gross total of $780,
900, 900 or f12. 600, 900 sterling, and this
company's property was actually offered to
an English company for Gao 900, and by
that company rejected upon the advice of
the expert sent outl
A weekly telegram to the directors from
the mines is to the effect that the work is
proceeding vigorously and satisfactorily,
and in strict accordance with the recon-
~mendations contained in Captain Richards
report"
