REPORT OF PRESIDENT N SUPERINTENDENT.
To the stockholders of the Eureka Tunnel
and Mining Company, Eureka, Nevada: l sub.
init to you the following report of the present
condition of the mine: The north end Of the
mine, known as the sullivan stope." is at
present broken up and irregular, owing to the
vein having changed its course and dip, and
We are at present following low grade ore mixed
with iron. The old east upraise, now called
"Hermann stope,' 100 feet south Of Sullivan
stope, is being extended south in q small, but
very fine body of ore. From this stope to the
south Wine, 105-foot level, the vein is %continu-
GUS. At the south winze, $50 feet south from
the Hermann stope, q fault occurred in the
vein, which cut off the ore for a distance Of IA
feet, yet left an iron seam to follow, which led
to ore that connects with what is known as the
Luke chamber" which has yielded a large
amount of fine carbonate ore. From this cham
Der the ore makes in many directions, one
branch turning westerly and dipping for q dis
lance of 80 feet and finally opens into what is
known as the Addison chamber" by far the
richest and most promising in the mine. 1t is
the deepest of our ore bodies, being about 160
feet below the tunnel level, west, and almost
directly under the first discovery chamber. Its
course IL northerly and southerly, is mixed
In places with fragments and bOulders of lime
stone, and is in what miners call "big ground,
open and favorable for ore bodies. Owing to
ourIimited opening and incOnvenient way of
getting ut the ore, having to handle it and the
waste several times before getting it to the
surface, it is impossible as yet to measure its
extent.
The new doublc-compartment shaft is down
SO feet, timbered and cribbe for that distance.
The contract to sink this shaft lis feet below

our double cylinder hoist is in place, and the
machinery will soon be in working condition.
With this shaft completed to our first level the
facilities for hosting will be increased and the
ore extracted at much less cost.
Work on this property was commenced in
January, 1873 and has been continuously PROS |
ecuted to this date. The tunnel is now in
length 2.0O7 feet. the face in favorable looking

continued ior the present on account of bad
air. The ore bodies now being extracted are
about l 100 feet from the mouth or opening of
the tunnel and below its level.
In addition to the work on the tunnel. about
$500 feet of shafts, WINES, drifts and slopes
have been excayated in prospecting for and the
extraction of ore.
In conclusion I may state that your property
has made a record for itself in the past few
months, under many dit that entities
it to your confidence in the future. Respect
