The Principal Mines and what II
Needed I'm the New Camp.
A correspondent Of the Reno Gazett,
writes as follows Of a new camp in which
many Eurekans are interested:

lite, porphyry and slate. The principal
veins are in limestone, and crop at inter-
walls for a distance Of over forty miles in
an easterly and westerly direction. The
groupings in many places are bold and
compact. In places work in the shape Of
cuts and tunnels has been done, exposing
the vein carbonate OF lime, iron, etc.
which gives assays ranging from o trace
to thousands. However, the average diff
fers materially in the locations. The Bay
field mine is a very fair prospect and is
being opened up e~ntelligently. An incline
OF 145 feet has been sunk. When the
depth of $50 feet shall have been attained,
it is proposed to crosscut in opposite di-
rections, as the vein is apparently divided

eating in width 80 feet. AS far as the
incline followed the ore body, it looks as
we'll as could be wished. Average assays
show the groupings to be worth $40 per
ton, nearly one-haf being gold.
THE EAST STAR
adjoins on the east, and partakes Of many
of the characteristics of its neighbor.
Some rich ore has been found that will
work 500 per ton, and is to be shipped to
Oreana for reduction. Next in line (east)
comes the Genessee, having q shaft 35 feet,
the ore from which gives low assays.
Stonewsll Jackson is next, having a tunnel
some 20 odd feet. Ore gives low assays.
Next is the Equality, and is about the same
as the two before mentioned. West of the
bayfield, are the following claims: Iron
Point, having a tunnel 140 feet. One vein
has been cut, the ore from which gives
fair assays. Next comes the Spar, with
over 500 assays. Adjoining the Spar is
l l. Nos. l and q. The vein on this
ground shows all its strength and is about
$50 feet wide. Assays from a trace to 500.
On this ground little work has been done,
and that little useless. Imagine a mos
quito drifting for blood in IN elephant.
The fact is, systematic and intelligent
work, with money to back it, are necessi-
ties. With those at hand, large quantities
OF paying ore are no doubt to be had. The
next ground is that Of

The groupings are large and well defined,
and sometimes gives good assays. Next is
the Great Western. Considerable galena
Is on this ground, giving assays Of $40.
The next claim is called the Carson and
shows considerable vein matter. Well. we
have travelled along the vein 26. 500 feet
with the results above stated. The Black
Prince is a parallel vein 100 feet wide and
is really splendid one; the groupings, it
is believed, will work $50 per ton. Last
but not least is the Estella, showing a large
and well-defined ledge. in many places
showing very rich ore, assaying as high as
500 per ton. The above is what is to be
seen in | X L, and it seems to me a fair
showing, worthy the consideration of those
interested in the great industry Of mining.
