RUSHING WORK ON RUBY HILL
II Present Intentions Are Re-
allied 300 MinUrs Will Be
Working by Fall

'OO ~
The veterans OF Eureka whose con.
6dence in the Base Range, Of which
Ruby Hill is a part. has caused them
to remain with the old camp can al
ready see the reward Of loyalty. But
each and every one should make IL a
point to visit Ruby Hill and see at
first hand what the Richmond Eureka
Company has already done and what IL
being done, and then conservatively
estimate what the result will be when
the company's present plans are car.
ried put.
Not a Mushroom GroWfh.
Everything at Ruby Hill shows per.
manent work-the work of men who
have thoroughly investigated, know
what they are building on and are
ready to back their Judgment with
brains. money and experience. On
every side improvement is manifest.
Every one is too busy to furnish infor-
nation, but the skeleton is there for the
eye to catch and it is easy for an OBJ
r to put flesh ON the bones from
the materials on the ground-carloads
Of lumber, cement, rails, machinery
and supplies of all kinds.
New Buildings Going Up.
Going in from Eureka the first point
Of interest is the officers quarters. a
two-story building practically COM
pleted and nov being shingled. South
of that is the sleeping house. vast in
size and capable of accommodating at
least 200 men. Foundation and floor
timbers are laid for this and work is
being pushed forward on the structure
as it is very much needed.
The foundation for the assay Office is
laid, the grade for the superintendent's
residence is ready and the building
will go up as soon as the materials ar
rive. The frame work for the COM
pany's main office is all up and it will
be ready for occupancy in a short time.
The new boarding house is completed
and running. New stores and resi-.
dences are under way, and the build
ing boom on the Hill is in itself a graf
flying spectacle.
Installing Pumping Plant.
The machinery and equipment OIL
hand at the mines are especially good.
Everything is u~p-to-date and the de-
sign has been to take advantage of all
modern improvements consistent with
business economy. To drain the lower
levels the company will install Pres
colt pumps, and four Sterling boilers of
$50 horse power each coupled to "a
Horburg engine will furnish the needed
power. Work is going forward rapidly
on the new shaft and by the time the
air compressor, hoist and other ma
chinery now on the way arrive the
buildings will be in readiness.
Benefits Cannot Be Estimated.
Ninety men are at present on the
Richmond Eureka pay roll and it is
safe to say that during the GUNNER the
the company will have finished all the
work incidental to reopening the mines
and at least 800 miners will be at work.
What this means to Eureks district can
hardly be estimated. The faith and
courage of the new company operat-
ing OIL Ruby Hill. based as it is OIL the
opinion and Judgment of mining en-
gineers who thoroughly examined
these mines that made Eureka famous
as bullion producers, are certain to en-
courage all who have mineral holdings
here and attrscs to Eureka district the
recognition of capital looking for favor
able investment in Nevada.
History Will Repeat Itself.
The field is here. the ere is here and
the new ore schedule over the Eureka
& Palisade Railway to the Salt Lake
smelters justifes shipping the long dis
carded low grade products of the mines.
The work already accomplished by
Supt. A. P. Mayberry will prove a
revelation to any Eurekan who has not
been to Ruby Hill since the Richmond
Eureka Company began operations last
