EUREkA's IMPROVED OUTLOOK
Properties Long Idle Awaken
ing at Touch of the New
Order of Things

From the Salt Lake Tribune, Aug. Is.
Eureka, Nevada where are conferred
numerous Utah mining interests aud &C
tivities, according to all reports, is en-
joying q liberal portion Of the prosper
ity that is spreading broadcast over
Nevada and Utah. The district is de.
veloping in proportion to these strenuous
times. and the present season has seen
quite a change in every way through
out this noted old producing region.
A large number Of the properties.
whose achievements in the early days
are matters Of honorable history, are
being prepared for active Developments.
and within the past ten months some
As new locations have been made and
proved up.
Several Of the new mines, the Nc
Naughton for instance, are producing
ore in shipping quantities. the values
ranging up toward the 500 mark per
ton. Numerous properties with abun-
liant tonnages Of low-erade ores, which
could o be developed or touched IN.
der the old rates for transportation,
are being worked at a generous profit
under the new condition of affairs.
Everything is contributing to the pros
perity Of both the high and low-grade
propositions in the district. with the
single exception, perhaps, of the rail-
road company.
This company is incapable Of handling
the large volume of business that the
district affords in this resurrection
period. Shipments, consequently, to
and from Eureka are limited on this
account. All the ore shipped over the
road has to be transferred by shovel
from the narrow-gauge TO the broad
gauge cars at Palisade. for the reason
that sufficient labor can not be secured
either in Nevada or surrounding States
to complete the construction of the ore
transfer bins.

gives every promise of becoming one of
