LIKES EUREKA BEST.
Hiram Johnson Returns from Bull
frog to Participate in the Boom.

Hiram johnson, manager of the
Johnson Mercantile Company of Eu-
reka, returned Monday after a several
months absence. Mr.. Johnson and
son. Artimus, left Eureka overland for
a trip through the new camps in Nye
County. aud impressed with the pros
poets of the Bullfrog district Mr. John
son established a mercantile store at
Rhyolite.
Speaking of Bullfrog, he says that
the mines and the ore are there but
little can be done to develop the pro-
perties until the camp has railroad ION
nections and the price of living
lowered. Commercially the district is
overdone and business at the present
time is poor.
Mr.. johnson was elated when he
learned Of Eureka's revival and leaving
Artimus in charge Of the store at Rhyo-
lite. he hastened his return TO partici-
pate in the Eureka boom. He has
ordered new stock for his store here
and to make room. for the new goods
the line of boots and shoes will be
closed out and several other changes
made that will make the Johnson
Mercantile Company's store a very
attractive establishment to the stran-
gers who will shortly be coming this
way.

Looking After the Tybo Mines.

Justice of the Peace l.. w. Cromer
returned to Eureka Tuesday from a
visit with his daughter, Mrs. j. Kautz,
at Typo. Nye County. Mr.. Cromer
Informs the SENTINEL that T.. J. Lynch
and others, who recently bought the
Herman Reischke mines at Reveille,
were in Typo last week examining the
2 G mine of the Typo Mining Company
with a view to purchasing. 1t is
thought il a sale of the property is
made that a smelter will be built
between Typo and Reveille, where fuel
aud water are plentiful, and that the
fiuxing ores of Reveille will be uti-
lied in reducing the rebellious ores of
the 2 G mine at Typo. The latter Is
one of Nye County's best properties and
contains a large ore body, but owing to
lack of transportation facilities the
mine can not be worked to a profit.
The distance from Eureka to Typo is 90
miles south. The long wagon haul,
railroad rates and smelling charges
made the expense of operating the
property too heavy and the mine was
closed down more than a year ago.
