HAMILTON.
Favorable MinIng Outlook fer Our
NetghbOrs the Coming Season

From County ommissiOnerJ j. H.
Lock wood of White Pine county we
learn that The streets of Hamilton are
covered with snow from one to Ave
feet in depth. Mr.. Lockwood says the
very severe storm that has visited that
place recently has done much to retard
business of all descriptions. Mining
Is carried on by some ofthe companies
and the future prospects OF the camp
are very encouraging.
THE EBERHARDT.
Work at the Eberhardt Tunnel Is
conducted with q force of twelve
miners. 1t Is q we Unknown fact that
ore has been discovered in the main
tunnel, and the unbounded confidence
that Superintendent Drake has in the
property which Is shown by the i'm
provenents he has made there, and
the extensive work he Is doing, lead
the knowing ones to think that the ore
bodies are of much greater importance
than the managers of the mine care
for the outside world TO know OF. As
soon as the weather moderates and
machinery can be moved with ease, an
extra force OF twenty men will be put
10 work in the tunnel, and prospecting
will be carried on by means of Bur-
leigh drills. There are several places
in the main tunnel where streaks of
ore have been found that will assay
from $40 to 500 q ton, and it Is the
intention of Capt. Drake to prospect
some of those, in the belief that they
will lead to important bodies OF ore.
THE JENNIE A.
Superintendent Kendall is working
q small force of men on the Jennie A
mine. The surface tunnel is in about
$50 feet, and is going through a very
favorable formation. Mr.. Kendall
fully-expects to strike ore III the next
fifty feet. When it is in 700 feet, the
face OF the tunnel will have attained
a depth of 200 feet from the surface.
AT the upper workings OF the jennie
A some very important discoveries
were recently made, and it is estimated
that there are at least 5000 tons of
good ore in sight, ready for the pick.
THE WHEELER AND IRENE.
Superintendent Eugene n. Robin
son, has "a force of miners IN the
Wheeler Tunnel and Irene mine, and
prospecting is carried on in "A most
active manner In the Tunnel, ore,
in paying quantities has been en-
eountered, while the Irene mine never
looked better.
We hope hat the most sanguine ex-
pectations of our White Pine neigh
bors will be realized aud that the old
town Of Hamilton will, in the near
future take upon itself its former
CARDS of plenty and prosperity.
From tho Sentinel l6th.l
THE swEETwArER co.
Eugene y. Robinson returns from
New York prepared With funds to do
thorough work on The Sweetwaier
Company's mining property near
Hamilton. Before the end OF 1884
Mr.. Robinson, who Is sole manager,
will have done a vast deal OF work
extracting ore from bodies o In
sight, and in prospecting for the
bonanza which everybody believes is
TO he found somewhere i'll the com.
pany's ground. The Wheeler Tunnel
has already been driven within the
old Hidden Treasure limits. The
prospect certainly Is one that seems
good to speculate ON. But II no
bonanza 10 found, MIR. Robinson, al
least will have made a thorough search
for 1t, and will come pretty near to
settling the question "whether or not
the company has The big thing that
he believes it has. That's the way to
mine. Show some blood In rummag-
ing about in the bowels of the earth,
where it Is expected ore may be found,
and not up in The trees, and don't
give everybody the blues bv gruniing,
as some superlntendents do, who act
rs though the property may ''peter
out" If they hit hard. and that they
may lose their ''jobs' in consequence
of such ''petering."
