RUBY HILL TUNNEL
Pay Ore aud Great Prospects.

The Ruby Hill Tunnel Compay have
changed their base OF operations the
tunnel is in 1925 feet and they have
quit work at the breast and COM
menced prospecting in earnest for ore,
by driving a cross cut a short distance
northward from the tunnel. II the
tunnel had been driven a few feet to
the northward, ore would have been
struck on the tunnel level several
months ago. At a point $50 feet back
from the breast, ore OF a paying
character was first struck. There are
now about 20 tons on the dump, five
OF which will work at the rate Of $24 in
gold and 81 so in silver. The remain
ing 20 tons will have TO be screened,
but the greater part OF il has been
shown by assays to contain $40 in
gold, and an unc OF silver per ton.
These lots combined carry over so per
cent Of iron. 1t is essentially iron
gold ore. 1t contains no drawbacks,
as only 5 per cent OF silver appears in
Ii and no speiss. The absence OF lead
il remarkable. Where this ore comes
from is about a thousand feet beneath
the surface. So far as the quantity OF
ore already taken out is concerned
there is nothing to make a great fuss
over, but the indications are good
enough to make the stockholders feel
very hopeful. The ore makes in pipes
and kidneys which were increasing in
size with the development at last ac-
counts. These are in what is termed
open ground and are evidently on a
big fissure, as pure air, which must
come from or find its way to the sur
face overhead, rushes through the
cracks with sufficient force TO blow out
the light of a candle. There is no
telling but the greatest expectations OF
the shareholders may be realized, for
there may be immense chambers OF
ore connected with the assure, COM
pared with which the small pipes and
kidneys already Dissolved are as moth
ing. The limestone in which this ore
is found is almost identical with that
OF Ruby Hill, in which the immense
chambers OF ore in the Eureka Con.
and Richmond mines were found, that
yielded gross. over forty million dol
lars, and there is more room in the
limestone embraced in the Ruby
Hill Tunnel claims for such great
chambers OF ore to form than there is
between the quartzite and shale Of
Rnby Hill, which is only q small span
OF the giant Prospect Mountain which
the Ruby Hill Tunnel penetrates.
Everything looks lovely at the tunnel,
and these are the best grounds Tor
great expectations.

GsneraI Protest.

From every section Of the State
come complaints loud and strong that
the State Board OF Assessors is acting
in an arbitrary manner in the matter Of
equalization. So unpopular has the
Board made itself in the first year OF
its existence that il is all but certain
that the next Legislature will repeal
the law creating 1t. Whit Pine News.
The Legislature will do no such
thing, unless the bosses may want it
to do so. The Republican bosses, not
the members OF the Legislature, make
the laws for the people Of Nevada.
Only for the looks Of the thing We
might as well have 10 Legislature in
this State.

The Eureka Contradiction.

The annual election oil the Eureka
Con. Mining Company was held in
San Francisco last Monday. Rumors
were rife here that there was to be q
contest for the control but nothing of
the kind happened. The old board
and officers generally were reelected
without opposition. One story had it
that the Richmond was in the field to
secure the property. II is needless to
say that the Richmond Company of
London will never invest in an ad-
ditional inch Of mining ground in this
district without the recommendation of
Mr.. Probert, and it is we'll know n that
the latter is totally opposed to further
investments by his company in this
aaaftoa
