Mark Smith addressed large audi
ence on Monday night at Wilcox. The
ranchers and cattlemen, with their
wives, many of them, came thirty miles
to hear him. There was much enthu-

will get big majority in that precinct.
He spoke Tuesday night in the NV
mining camp of Pearce.

EUREKA, Jan. 6. 1895.
EDrroR SENTINEL: Few persons who
have never resided in Eureka are aware
that Eureka has been one Of the greatest
gold producing districts on the Pacific
Coast. Outsiders have known Eureka as
q great lead smelling center in the past,
and smelling and gold mining are not
associated 10 the minds Of most persons.
Nevertheless, Eureka has added to the
worlds stock Of gold at . very low essi-
mate ten millions Of dollars.
At some future time | propose to give
the exact figures as far ss they can be as
certained from sworn returns made to
the Assessor. Some Of the gold ores have
. quartz gangue and could probably be
reduced and the gold saved By mill
process. Other geld ores have an iron
gsngue and the best method Of working
these ores has not yet been determined
by practical tests. There are scores OF
mines in the district containing gold ores
sssaying from $50 a ton up to 500. and
upwards. These ores are generally as
ISOLATED with silver and lead ores. The
lead rarely carries much gold bat is rich
IN silver. The gangue Of the gold. when
not quartz. is iron. Osing to the differ
snce in specific gravity. appearances and
hardness there should be no difficulty in
separating the siiver-iead ores from the
gold ores. The silver-lead ores bear
shipment to Salt Lake, where they ind
. ready market, and the IS and SO gold
ores should be worked here BY sons Of
the many processes for reducing sold ores
and saving the gold. The cost ct ship
