EUREKA MINING DISTRICT.

Resum ptton of work in Several
Claims Idle for some Time-Fa.
vorable PrOspects-Increased Ore
Shipments from the Smaller
Mines of the District.
During the past week mining has looked
up some little throughout Eureka District.
Work has been resumed in several old
claims, in which operations were suspend
ed some time ago. Hon. Thomas Wren is
again working bis Nj. Hope properties,
and several tributers are now at work
there with q most excellent prospect Of
doing better than il they were working
for days wages. Il. W. Huising, OF Gin
~oinnati, who owns some excellent proper
ties on Prospect Mountain, has put q force
Of men ct work In the Silver State, and
although they have been working but .
few days, the prospects already shown are
said to be flsttering. What was believed
to be an average sample was taken from .
streak Of ore which was followed from the
surface down several feet, and an assay Of
the same was made, which went over $500
q ton. While 1t may, in itself. not amount
to . great deal, it evidently 10 q feeder to
something larger and Of greater value at Q
lower depth. The smaller mines Of the
district continue their shipments without
any tendency towards q falling off in the
amounts. We were unable yesterday to
obtain anything like q full list of the
producing properties. and the amounts
Of ore shipped in to the two urnaces here
| the past week, but from what intelligence
of the character we did get we feel justified
in believing the yields are gradually in
creasing. The Hamburg mine in New
York Canyon shipped to the Eureka Con.
12A tons, the Bowman mine on Adams
Hill sent TO the same works 10A tons, and
from the Lord Byron on Prospect Mount
ain was shipped to the Richmond furnaces
some 80 tons. In the last named property,
on the tunnel level and near the old shaft,
sn engine has been set, which works first
rate aud fully up to the expectations of
Supt. Kermeen, but before it can be util-
lied 10 hoist ore from the lower levels
some work ia necessary to be done in the
lower part OF the shaft, which, it is hoped,
will be accomplished during the coming
week. The shipments from the property
will.then probably increase, as most Of the
ore being sent in from it comes, we believe,
from below the tunnel level. The Silver
Lick mine on Adams Hill sent in 25k
tons to the Eureka Con. works, the Sum-
NIT on Prospect Mountain, which adjoins
the Banner, shipped l04 tons, and the
Frazer & Molino Az tons. The Morning
Star, an extension Of the Macon on Adams
Hill, shipped to the Eureka Con. works
ga tons, and the HoosAc on Prospect
Mountain made q shipment to the Rich
mond works. The Lone Pine, another
Adams Hill property, sent to the Eureka
| Con. works something over four tons, and
! to the same works was shipped from the
Eureka Tunnel, on Prospect Mountains
tons. The old Continental mine, near
| Hamilton. made shipment of ore to the
Richmond works, and the property is said
TO be looking quite promising and evil
IDENTIFY fruitful OF further shipments.
There ia nothing particularly new to re-
/ port Of the Eureka Con. or Richmond
mines. Both of the properties are looking
and yielding we'll.
