with a party Of mining men who are
interested in ~reopeuing the mines in

down to Palisade Saturday to meet the
party and accompanied them back to
Eureka. The visitors were Albert
Fries. Charles A. Wimpfheimer,
Clarence b Wisner, all of New York.
aud A. p. Mayberry of Bingham, Utah.
The stormy weather prevented the
visit from being as enjoyable as it
would otherwise have been, as the trips
to the mines on Ruby Hill were made
in the face of a binding snow storm.
Furthermore. they were prevented from
observing all the surface properties and
work as they were partly covered with
snow. but the underground workings
OF the Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond mines were twice visited and
thoroughly examined. The party spent
two days in Eureka aud left again for
the East late Monday afternoon.
