The Body of Ore Holding Out and
Looking Well.

"Oh
In company with Gen. Connor, a SENTI-
MEL reporter visited the Eureka Tunnel
yesterday to inspect the ore body which
has been so far explored by a drift about
70 feet in length. 1t has all sorts of dips
and angles, but is seen between clearly
marked limits all along the length of the
drift. 1t averages from two to two and o
half feet in width. 1t is mostly light yell
low and dark brown ~carbonates and of
very high grade. The drift, which is
about 100 feet below the tunnel level and
about 600 feet below the surface of the
mountain at its northwest extremity lit
runs northwest and southeast), is in a fine
body of light colored carbonates, which
runs across at right angles with the course
of the drift. The bottom of the ore body
in several places has not yet been reached
at the bottom of the drift. Yesterday
miners were at work digging upon a bunch
of ore which extends down lower. The
result of this digging will be watched with
some curiosity, as it is not improbable that
it may turn into something big when pros
pected further. Wherever the ledge APP
pears it is bold, and when followed above
or on its dip down to either side may re-
veal a chamber of ore at any time. The
prospects all along the drift are certainly
very fattering. Mr.. Mette, the foreman,
calculates that there are 200 tons of
ore in plain sight, an amount equal
to what has already been extracted
from the drift. The ore is soft and easily
picked off. The only draw back is the foul
air. 1t is difficult to keep q candle lighted,
and were it necessary to do any blasting
the men could not work in the drift at all.
The air-blowers in position do not purify
the air sufficiently, as they have to drive
down air partially impure. This trouble
is to be removed very soon, however. Mr..
Mette, in company with Chief Engineer
Griffin of the Albion, went yesterday over
to the old Rose Tunnel to examine an
engine there, which it sproposed to pur-
chase and put in place at the mouth of the
tunnel, to supply force to pump in per-
fectly fresh air. The working shaft is
being sunk rapidly, and at the end of 40
days it will be down far enough to be con-
nected with the drift, when d current of
air will be had. The company is rapidly
getting out of debt. IS fast as assess
ments and returns from ore are received
the money is paid over to creditors, the
claims of the workmen being paid off first.
At the present rate of liquidation it is
calculated that the entire debt of the COM
pany, exclusive of General Connor's
claim, will all be met within 30 days.

Some Notes OrI h Condition of
Mining Down There.
Though but little is reported concern
ing what the mines are doing dow. in
Nye County the good work still goes on
and there are many who think it a min
ing district of splendid prospects. From
the last Belmont Courier which reached
US We should judge that their hopes are
we'll based. From that paper we extract
tho following notes:
Ithas been demonstrated in the Emerson
mill that the Spanish Belt ores can be
leached successfully.
Work is being pushed vigorously ahead
in the Northumberland mines with the
most fiattering results.
The Typo mill has been repaired and
it will again be started up on 2 G ore
next week.
The Republicans of Nye County will
hold their primaries on Saturday, the
10th instant.
Work progresses satisfactorily in the
Emerson mine. They are extracting ore
that will mill 500 to the ton in silver.

being encountered. They have also
struck the ledge in the new cut; it car
ries good chloride ore, which assays
as high as S5S7 40 to the ton. The
company will ship to-day another bar of
| silver bullion valued at over 81, 100.
Henry Harrison brought in a fine bar
Of silver bullion from Jefferson on Mon
day last. From him we learn that the
mines owned by the Harrison Brothers
continue to look well, and that a very
rich stike was made last week in one OF
these properties. The chloride ore ex-
tracted from this mine assays away UP
in the hundreds, and the indications are
that a large body Of this class OF ore
will be encountered there. The arastra il

Not Running very Smoothly.

We understand that the slate Of dele
gates to their State Convention, put up by
the Republicans in Eureka, is not al
together satisfactory to the party of great
moral ideas in the first and second wards.
Efforts will certainly be made to defeat
some of the candidates put forward. The
true inwardness of the opposition to the
objectionable nominees we do not pretend
to fathom, but we do know that they are
selected as victims, and that il they do
not look about them they will and them
selves left at the primary election.

For the Long Term.

II is u pleasure to announce to-day to
the voters Of Eureka County that II. r.
Kemp will be a candidate before the DEM
ocratic County Convention for the nomi-
nation of long-term Commissioner at the
ensuing election. We can commend
Mr.. Kemp to the people without any hest
tation. He has been in the merchandise
ing business here for years, and has al
ways borne the character of a man strictly
upright in all his dealings. He is a man
whom the people can trust implicitly in
the responsible office which he seeks at
their hands. We believe that if the DEM
ocracy nominate Mr.. Kemp he will be
elected.

HOW the Pots Boil Elsewhere In
the Silver State.
The Carson Index tells how they have
skinned it back in Esmeralda: "The ap-
pointing Of delegates to the State Re-
publican Convention by the Esmeralda
County Committee does not seom to have
worked well. The Committee have now
gone back on the business and called pri-
maries for the 10Th instant. The railroad
interest in that county will now have to
organize some clubs to beat the pri-
maries. Regular procedure is dangerous"
The same paper talks about the Repub-
lican outlook for the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation thusly: "The prevalent impression
in Storey County is that Governor Kin
kead will not be in the field when the
Convention assemblies, and that Mr..
Strother will have the delegationfro m that
county solid. Some are of the impress
sion, however, that General Evans of
Reno may yet make a strong diversion in
Storey. DR.. E. B. Harris has many per-
sonal friends, and perhaps will have some
strength in the delegation"
The Reno Gazette reveals o spirit of
"war to the knife" among the Repubs. in
Ormsby. They let the Dolly vardens get
away with nearly all the county offices
four years ago, and the outlook now is
good for q similar result. But says the
Gazette! 1.-THE leaders of the two factions
of the Republican party in ormsby coun-
ty are doing their level best to create dis
sentions IN the ranks of the party, and
from present indications success will
crown their efforts. 0rmsby has for years
given the Republican ticket g handsome
majority. For nearly four years the stall
warts and "Dollys" have been industri-
ously fighting each other, until now the
party 10 demorelised to an extent that
makes success this Fall a little doubtful.
If the war continues, defeat in Ormsby.is
a foregone conclusion. They are fighting
over a bone that has been picked clean
months ago, and just what they are trying
to do now is a mystery"

Yesterday afternoon e man whose name
We have not tried to find out, and which
we prefer not to know, was arrested by
Officer Ravell and waltzed away to the
cooler for an act Of nameless improperly
in front of Matt. Sohatzlein's barber shop.
He ought to be made to suffer as severely
as possible for his utter disregard of de-
cency, and if there is any law against such
nasty offenses, he ought to be made to pay
its utmost penalty. A good many repre-
hensible things may be done in Eureka,
but nobody thinks that such q spectacle as
the offender mentioned presented to pub
lie view in broad daylight on Main street
yesterday ought to be added to the breaches
OF moral law and decorum that the Base

Last Wednesday Charley Broy's four
horse team was standing at the dump of
the Eureka Tunnel, and the wagon was
about half loaded with ore when the horses
became frightened and started to run down
tho steep declivity this side. Luckily they
got out of the rut in plunging about and
the wheels on one side Of the wagon were
driven deep into q sand bank on that side
OF the road, which with the aid of the
brake brought the team. to a standstill.
Had they gone a few PAGES further the
whole OUTFIT would have been precipitated
down the hill and the horses certainly
killed.
