Opportunities for WOrk-A Mining
Exchange Proposed for Eureka.
In view of the scarcity Of work in the
mines on Ruby Hill as compared with the
number of miners seeking employment, it
appears strange that more work is not done
under the lease and tribute system in the
mines of Adams Hill, Prospect Mountain
and in the districts adjoining Eureka. By
reference to the records in the Assessors
office it is shown that over 800 mines
worked in Eureka County are producing,
or have produced ore. OF this number,
about three-fourths are situated in Eureka
District. Many Of these mines are lying
idle at present, but can be had ON lease or
| tribute on the most favorable terms.
Among the properties alluded to we are at
liberty to mention the following, with the
names of the parties to whom miners may
make application: The Gore mine, adjoin-
ing the Matamoras On Prospect Mountain,
the Frankly Scott combination of mines,
adjoining the Banner, the Hindoo mine,
adjoining the Williamsburgh on Adams
Hill, for all of which application may be
made to w. p. Haskell; the Alps mine, adj
joining the Banner on Prospect Mountain,
Lambert Molinelli; the Waterbury mine,
adjoining the Hawkeye Con-, on the west
side of Prospect Mountain, Lambert Moli-
nelli or John E. Jones; the Enterprise
mine, on the east side of Prospect
Mountain, adjoining the Lord Byron,
John e. Jones or Ed. Looney; the Cos
mos and Tyndall mines, near the Prospect
Mountain Tunnel, G. j. R. Buttlar; a por-
ton of the Golden Rule series, NJ. H..
Joseph; the Central Hill mine, near Ruby
Hill, M. II. Joseph or Thos. Very; the
Bullock mine, Newark District, II. s.
Bullock, at r. Sadler & Co.'S store; the
Uncle Sam Con-, New York Canyon, DR..
Schneider; the Liberty mine, New York
Canyon, VIM. Pardy, White Pine County
Bank. There are several good prospects
in Pinto District also that may be had on
lease by application to NJ. H. Joseph. All
of the above mines have more or less ore in
sight, and may be worked with profit to
tributers, but are only a very few of many
mines that may be leased by making APP
plication to the owners who have other
mines under process of development. 1t
would be a good plan to open a mining
exchange in Eureka, where miners may
meet for the purpose Of exhibiting their
productions, and in this connection a
club or organization might be formed for
the purpose of benefiting the mining in
terests of Eureka and the adjoining dis
tricts, the actual resources of none of
which are known far beyond their own
immediate limits. Several leading citi-
zens of Eureka have been interviewed in
reference to the matter, who have prom
Used to assist in such an enterprise. 1t
should be the business of the officers of
the organization to employ q competent
person to visit the mines and report on
their condition, production, development,
etc also to correspond with, and report
to the mining press of the country at large.
By this means our vast mineral our
would soon become known to the world,
and the capital of which we are so much
in need could undoubtedly be had if a
proper showing were made.
The gentlemen who have volunteered
their assistance in the matter should meet
at an early day and complete their plans
to carry the organization into effect.
