r1Nr1o MINING NOTES.
Eureka Hin Now Open Below the
600 Foot Level.

says the Eureka Reporter, This ore
which is about 60 feet below this point
is I'm the lease OF Messrs. Brinton, Chris
topherson and Sullivan and is con-
tinuation of the ore body upon when
these gentlemen have been at work
for many months and which has nettea
them a nice "wad' OF money. IL was
from this lease that tho rich copper
ore was taken during the past summer
and it is stated that four carloads OF
this more brought over $4,000 after
railroad and smelling charges had been
paid. The ore deposit is In new ground
and is still holding out well. a carload
which was sent out a week or Two ago
having been almost as rfch as tnat
which was placed upon the ihafhee
earlier in the year.
The workings Of the Eureka Hill mine
extend down 10 the 1900 level and yet
all of the ore that was taken from tne
mine came from the levels above the
100 This does not signify that there
is no ore below this point, in fact recent
disclosures lead to the BELIEF that the
ore does extend to greater depth Inc
ore in the Brinton lease is known TO ex-
tend a great distance below the l,OVV
level and IL is only natural to suppose
that the deepest workings of the mine
will vet produce ore as rich as tnat
which has made millions In dividends
for the fortunate shareholders.
All of the ore which Is now being
taken out of the mine by the leasers Is
of a splendid grade and considering the
new strikes which have been made re-
Gently the mine is good for many years
The officers of the company are, no
doubt, highly pleased with the record
for the year 1906 and the earnings from
the mine for the new year should be
equally as good.
Some ore has been taken out OF the
Little Chief mine, but not enough to
make a shipment. Work underground
has been delayed because pipe ordered
some time ago failed TO arrive.
The assessment work has been COM
pleted upon the Orient property in the
West Tintic district and this week the
miners who performed the work re-
turned to Eureka, The Orient Is owned
principally by Judge o. w. Powers. al

an interest in the company
The big big 5O-drill compressor for
the Centennial Eureka mine is being
taken up the hill. and Will be put In
place within a very short time. This Is
the biggest compressor in Tlntic, II not
the largest in the state, and 1t required
several of the best teams owned by the

Supt. John Roundy says that the
work OF cutting a station at the ESQ
foot level in the Colorado property was

Michael Fisher and Frank Mathews
are now upon prospecting trip In Ne
yada In the interest of a number OF
local people who put up money for
them to spend few months looking

they are both experienced miners, they
may be able To locate some good prop
