The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1906-04-21

A respondent Of the Reno Gazette
writing from Carson says Samuel. gen.
orally known as "Sam." Davis for
Governor; John l. Considine for Lieu
tenant; James Sweeney for Congress-
those are three names which have been
agreed upon by the Democrats. The
formation of the slate is going quietly
on. and in a little while the beating OF
the tom-toms that will be the signal Tor
the first charge Of the campaign VIII
begin.
Trying to Sheipe Sparks.
There is some difficulty in getting
the right men for the offices that are to
be filed. 1t is not known yet whether
or not Governor Sparks will again be a
candidate, but the Fusocracy is going
right ahead as if he were not to be con-
sidered at all. The plan is to make
Sam Davis the candidate for Governor
and Warden Considine his running
mate. Sam has been training for the
office for some time. One of the loud
est guns announcing his candidacy was
his challenge to the New York Life In
surance Company. OF late, however,
there has been no sign of difficulty with
the insurance companies, so everything
has probably been fixed up sa%tisfactor-
lily between Sam and the companies.
against which his lance was for a time
directed.
A Humorous Campaign.
Sam would undoubtedly make a
strong run. He is the last Of the Ne
vada humorists, aud if the old saying
that once you make a man laugh with
you he is your friend be true he ought
to get votes galore wherever he un.
corked the walls of his mirth. Besides
that he is the owner Of the Car on Ap-
peal, which would of course do heroic
service to see its proprietor safely en-.
sconced in the executive chair.
The announcement that Warden Con
sidine is to be the running mate Of
Davis comes somewhat as a surprise,
He has been getting along so peace
fully at the State Prison and has arm
ed the praise of the State in that office
and most people thought that he was
content to go ON with his work there
rather than risking the uncertain lux
ury of aspiring for other office.
Sweeney for Congress.
James Sweeney for Congress is whal
has been expected. Jimmie has been IN
training for the office for some time.
an when he saw that his friend Van
Duzer had decided that he had had en-
ough of glory that stage was cleared
for his entrance. He recently bought q
new automobile, but whether he in
tends to make the race in that is not
known.
Everything for Neyiands.
The truth of the whole thing is that
everything on the Democratic ticket
Is being made subservient to the wishes
of Newlands. The Senator has the
organic ition, aud although there will
be other candidates for office. the main
objective point of the efforts of the
machine viii be to strengthen the
cause of Newlands. Both parties have
come to know that in a political cam
paign there is not a more selfish man
than Senator Newlauds. Everything
must be as he says and directed to his
own enhancement. or else he opposes it
in secret, devious ways. To this fact
Governor Sparks and Judge Belknap
can bear irrefatable testimony. This
fict is not going to create any unusual
harm my in the Democratic ranks this
year.

Old Clothes Man.

James Kyrle MacCurdy, the
popular actor, in his play, 'The
Old Clothes Man" is making a big
hit.The popular actorportrays the
peculiar character Solomon Levi.
the old clothes vendor, most
cleverly. The drama is simple
and the events follow in natural
sequence with great effect. The
star has surrounded himself with a
strong CONF pany, and furnishes an
excellent display of the favorlte.
The special effects are the
Salvation Army doing its good
work. the marriage in the snow,
and the sensational "Niddish
Twist" in which Mr.. MacCurdy
illustrates its use in place of the
Jui-Jitsu, the Japaneee method OF
self defense.

Lucky Leasers.

y great strike was made day be-
fore yesterday in the Quartz Mill
mine in Leavenworth gujch, lately
taken over under a bond and lease
by pool Of business and mining
men. While cleaning out the west
lower level, a 3-inch streal, of ore
was found, assays of which gave
l2l ounces gold and % ouuces i'll
silver, avalue Of :, ,4b3. 40 per ton.
The shaft which is only 1lo
feet deep, has rec ntly been uuuAr-
cred and retimbered preparatory
to sinking it to a depth of 500 feet.
\ new Shaft house was recently
erected auda hosting plant install
led. The work is being done by
a crew of men directed by James
II. Bawlen, nf Central City,
formerly foreman of the Old
Town nine, and who is also in
Ierestcd in the pool The lcas-
ces expect to have the mine in
condition for ore production with
"A the next few weeks. The vein
IS a large one, and it is believed
that much of the medium low
grade ore can be mined and mar
keted with profit under the pre-
sent low treatment charges for

Visitors Pleased

Robert Laurie, of Providence,
X. L., an eastern representative
of the Gibraltar Investment com
pany, accompanied by party of
eastern business men arrived in
the city last Sunday and spent
several DAYS i'll making All eXamI-
nation OF the Lucania and New
house and the mining properties
intersected by those tunnels. The
party went over the line of the
Lucania. and were delighted with
the scenery, prospects and show
ing, both in the tunnel and on the
surface a half a mile above. The
visit of these gentlemen, who are
all wealthy business men, will be
of great benefit to the district in
general and to the LuCania prop
erty in particular.
During their stay in this city
the gentlemen fanilia rlzed them
selves with the mining industry,
beginning with the ore in the
veins and following it to the mills.
The instructive nature of their
visit was greatly appreciated by
them, and no better bunch of en-
thusiastiC business men ever de-
parted from Idaho Springs with as
good an impression of this district
as the party chaperoned by MIR.
Laurie. Mr.. Laurie himself is nc
stranger in this city, having visit
ed the camp a number of tim e.
in the past. He has many friends
being most affa BILE and pleasant
gentleman to meet and while
in the east he is a tireless booster
of this section of Colorado.
Secretary J. A. Wright and
Vice president W. w. Kirby, of
Denver, were with the party, which
included William Duck ham
Arthur Harrington and Charles
Totty, of Madison. n. j.; Rich

Saratoga Leaks.

On account of the heavy flow of
water in the lateral on the Sara
toga Vein from the Newhouse
tunnel driving was suspended on
the heading last Saturday. The
lateral has been driven a little over
I,7So feet and still has $50 feet to
go before the breast will he direct
ly under the No. ?, or I,ooo-foot
Saratoga shaft. 1t was deemed
eNpedient to stop work in the lat
eral for a time, to give the work
ms chance TO drain. The
driving has been both difficult
and expensive, and it was almost
impossible to get miners and muck
ers to work in the lateral because
of the water coming in from the
top and sides of the drift 1t is
estimated that at leasrt 900
gallons of water, a minute are
draining into the lateral near the
face. The water is the main
Saratoga shalt is now going
down at the rate of over six feet
every "a hours and at the present
time is about midway between the
seventh and eighth levels. As the
water lowers in the workings, the
pressure viii be lessened and it il
thought that driving the lateral
can be resumed possibly within "a
fortnight.

Council NOnveneS

A special meeting of the city
council was held Wednesday
night for the purpose of consider
ing a petition from the residents
of the west end of town for the re-
moval of the tanks of the Cont
mental Oil company from their
present location above the
Chamberlain-D Dillingham; sampling
works. Two gentlemen from
Denver, representing the oil COM
pany appeared before the council.
while the cause of the petitioners
was presented by William Broad.
1t was pointed that insurance rates
on property was fully 800 per cent
higher than i'll other portions OF
the city, because of the danger en-
gendered by the large quantity OF
oil kept in storage. The attention
of the council was called to the
ordinances which were supposed
to regulate the quantity of oils,
dynamite and other dangerous and
inflamable material within the
city limits. After hearing both
sides of the question the council
went into executive session, after
which it announced that no action
would be taken and the matter
would be held in allegiance until
the next regular session Decem-
Der 6.

Lucania GOING.

The work at the L., rrn-
mel is progressing satisfactorily
according to the reports sent out
by the officers of that company.
The veins encountered in driving
the tunnel are ali being driven mp
on and there is considerable
amount of ore showing in the
different laterals. This develop
ment is far more beneficial to the
tunnel company and to the dis
trict than the driving of the breast
of the big tunnel. Even if the
latter were completed to its objec-
tive point under Quart hill,
it could be nothing more than
a horizontal hole III the ground,
as its only benefit would be to fur
nIsh drain fra limited terri
tory on either side Of the line of
the tunnel As it is, thorough
development of the veins already
cut is absolutely certain to result
i'll disclosing large ore bodies. and
this will permit of the tunnel com
pauy deriving a revenue at an
earlier date, which will assist ma
terially i'll continuing the big tiln-
mel on its way.
Now that the power pipe line
from the Stanley mine is installed,
the Lucania tunnel is assured of
steady power, and there can be no
cessation Of the work now under
way The mile and a half Of pipe
purchased to make the connection
is a good investment, as when
the Lucania people complete their
own power plant, the pipe may be
used to advantage in the tunnel
and lateral workings,
tits noticeable that as the lateral
Development proceeds and ore Is
being opened up, the management
begins to note the nece ssity Of a
mill at the portal of the tunnel,
and it is none too early for the Luz
cania people to consider plans for
the erection of amill in units, bv
which method ii may be enlarged
as warranted by the ore output.
The Lucanja is unqueslionab'v
one of the best planned mining
tunnel enterprises in ibis stale,
and if necessary it could be COM
pleted to its terminal within two
years and a half. 1t penetrates
a territory where it will have
almost exclusive right to the deep
development of the veins, and
does not in any way conflict with
other big tunnel enterprises
the Newhouse and Central tun-
nels.

feet, and no drifting has been
done. The shaft pitches to the

feet before any drifts will be run
to block out the ore bodies which
undoubtedly exist.
