What Some Of the small Mines OF
Past Week.
When one considers the few men employed
in the mines OF the district, and conse.
quently the small amount OF prosp citing
and other work being done, he cannot but
appreciate the shipments Of ore now being
made to the Eureka Con. and Richmond
reduction works and also the merits and
actual worth and value Of the mining
properties Immediately around us.
During the past few days the Friday and
Hamburg mines, adjoining properties on
Prospect mountain, have made shipments
of good ore to the Eureka Con. works.
The former sent in IA tons and the latter
%. The Hamburg also sent to the Rich
mond works 10 tons. The Lord Byron,
which is also located in the same section,
sent to the Richmond works A tons.
None but tributers, we believe, are work
ing in the property, and all are said to be
doing better than il they were working for
days wages. The lone sent in 81 tons Of
ore to the Eureka Con. Works, and the
Battery and Bay State, the two latter prop
critics located in Newark, made shipment
OF III n liz tons, respectively. Some
tributers in the Bay State also sent to the
Richmond furnaces liz tons. Several
Secret Canyon properties have also made
shipments OF ore, among them the Uncle
Sam, which sent in 3 tons, and the Irish
Imbassinder 5 tons. The latter shipment
Of ore is of a good quality, and will pay
handsomely those to whom il belong. The
Rescue mine, a Silverado property, shipped
10 tons, some of which is very rich. The
Macon mine on Adams Hill is again pro-
ducing high grade ore, and during the
week it sent to the Richmond works Is
tons. The Williamsburg, also located
there, sent in 12h tons. Thus it will be
seen that Notwithstanding our camp is
undergoing an unprecedented depression,
mining in our midst is by no means sus-
pended. The district never had more pro-
ducing properties than it has to-day, and
when one considers the very few men en-
ployed either on wages or the tribute sys-
tenn, he can not but feel hopeful OF the
future. Eureka District has the wealth,
and all it needs to bring about Q prosper

q LARGER MINES.
The Eureka Con. mine is reported at the
Office of the company here to be looking
well. The various pitches producing ore
are holding out, in many cases. much
better than il was expected they
would, and were it now possible to
reduce the ore at their works as
it is produced at the mine the yield Of bull.
ion would undoubtedly astonish many.
AS il is, much of the ore will necessarily
have to remain at the mine until the new
furnace, which is fast approaching compile
ton, disposes of some Of the $500 tons
now mixed and stored away for reduction.
The Richmond mine continues idle. Man
ager Probert is in town. and while we have
| not learned definitely of his intentions as
to the resuming Of work in the company's
properties, yet 1t is the general belief and
it is SO reported that a number of men will
be put to work in the mine shortly on
| days wages, and that their furnaces will
again be fred up a week from tomorrow.
