sired 10 enrich themselves at the ex,

TIE Pioneer Pros of last Saturday
published crop reports from nearly
every station along the line of the
Winona a 1T. Peter road, the Omaha
road, and from seAeral points in Da-
kota. These reports Indicate a very
satisfactory condition of the crops,
the average Of wheat being rather
larger than that Of last year and the
general prospects excellent, while
corn, although kept back by the cold
weather, has grown rapidly under the
the impulse Of the warm sunshine OF
the past week, and promises good
yield. Io.day's rain will be of grca
benefit 10 all kinds of crops.

Col. Joe Grandelmyes Tells What He
Knows About White Pine and Eu-
reka Mines.
In a recent issue of the New York
Mining Record we find the following
from the facile pen of Professor Gran
delmyer, the learned and talented
student of limestone formations.
When discoursing on this topic the
Colonel is both eloquent and convi 1c-
ing:
EUREKA, April 81, 1883.
EDITOR MINING RECORDS: Sir
Thomas j. Read, e, E., manager of
the Eureka Consolidated, is making
good Roadway, all the new machinery
is working charmingly, they having
the finest hosting and pumping works
with air compressors in the world.
Mr.. Read is now sinking 15 feet per
week in the new shaft, and hopes to
increase tol25 pen, week.
The Eureka Con. has proved itself
valuable in the past, and l predict it
will in the e future, with ore in the
new shaft, resume dividends. The
Eureka Con. is worth paying 10 or 20
81 assessments, though it may not re-
quire five, for the ore in the new shaft
will send the stock booming. The
Eureka Con. is yet young. Twelve
hundred feet is their lowest workings.
and the Eberhardt Company of White
Pine have proven ore to live $3.50 feet
in depth and in lime (don't forget it,.
Lime is the boss formation for the
largest and best mine. The Eureka
Con. lives in lime, and lime is the
nearest relation to ore IN quantity and
quality. Mexico has proved this fact,
and Nevada will prove good all her
lime formations. Mineral bearing
lime for country rock is proof for ex-
tensive mines. The Richmond, which
joins the Eureka Con-, and the Eureka
Con-, have produced about SOC, 0O0,-
600, and they are good for $50, 000,-
600 nor The shareholders of both
these mining properties will never re-
greet their investments, and great cred
IL is due 10 those who are managing
these gigantic and valuable proper
ties. Mr.. Probert, of the Richmond,
has been associated with mining for
forty years, and Mr.. Read, of the Eu-
reka Con-, for twenty years. Mining
is not one of those things 10 be learned
from books; time aud hardship, close
~ Watching the change OF ore and for
nation, makes up the school that
makes a practical miner.
TIE following is clipped from one
OF the Eureka papers:
"Prof. Joseph Grandelmeyer visit
ed the Eureka Tunnel yesterday. He
says that The people OF the district
have no adequate conception OF the
grandeur of tie enterprise and tie
magnitude OF the developments which
are in prospect. The Professor is IA
miliar with all the formations which
are characteristic of this district, and
his metallurgical experience is other
wise extensive; so that his opinion Is
valuable"
l predicted the above in September,
1881, and If the Eureka Tunnel at that
time had been as fortunate in having
the practical head it has now, Mr..
VIM. Maxwell, the chances are, the
shareholders would have no reason
for complaint. l have known Mr..
Maxwell fourteen years. He Is a
thorough, practical miner.
