tines rich deposits Of horn silver
nave been found in the minas in
Eureka Hill. Foremost among those
mines are those owued By the Eureka
Hill Mining Company, of which said
company ]. Y. Packard is the head
and principal owner. The property
comprises several mining locations,
is extensively developed to a length
Of 6 COG feet and 400 feet IN depth.
The sinking of the main shaft ia
done by steam drill, and the hosting
by g 6f.y horse power steam engine.
The mine produces we'll and steadily.
Immediately north of and adjoining
&c the Eureka Hill Company's mines
sre the properties Known as the Bull
Ion, Back, Champion and Grown
Point. These mines, embrace in
length 4 200 feet, and IN wid b 500

ing ground. Thes. mines are de-
veloped extensively by shsfts, tunnels,
drift5 and levels to depsh of fram
80 10 500 feet. and 80 aggregate of
over 1900 feet in length. The % q
is from few inches 10 twelve feat

per cent. lead and 80 TO 800 aaces
IN silver per ton. Tie present daily
production is about twenty tons OF
good ore, bit will undoubtedly soon
be larger. TIE character of the ore
extracted is galeaa and carbonate OF
cad.
The Julian Lane is paying mine.
The ore contains sill ser and bismuth:
developed TO a depth of over 800
feet. The Victor, Kohinoor and
California mines are working on the
same veins as the Julian Lane.
