EUREKA HORSES FOR FRISCO
Said to Be Impossible to Secure
Enough Animals to Do
the Work

Angelo Florio of Eureka left Diamond
Station on Wednesday with about 60
head Of work and range horses which
he is shipping to the San Francisco
market. This is his second shipment to
that city within less than q month, and
he reports a demand there for all classes
Of horses.
Late advices from that city indicate
that the horse is having his day even
though the day must inevitably close
with his death The cry Of the Cali
fornia metropolis to-day is not for
sy mpathy. not for money. but for
horses. horses-and more horses Into
the foundations of the new city is going
the life blood of $1,000 superb horses
Deliberately 5000 draught horses are
being worked to death.
Removal of debris and hauling Of
material are jobs let by contract. The
contracts have all sorts of premiums for
time saved. The contractor reaps the
premium by driving his horses to death.
Half an hours walk from Market and
Kearney streets at any hour Of the day
will lead you to a dead horse-dead in
the harness-worked to death. The
vans that carry off carcasses are buster
than the ans which carry drunken men
to all.
And the men whose business it is to
bring in new horses to replace those
who go out in the struggle are growing
more desperate. The California
corrals and the Oregon and Nevada
ranches have been depleted Of their sur
plus. and now the ranges Of Montana
and the States farther eastward are be-
ing called upon to yield horses and more
horses.
There is no fine quibbling over the
price. The horses must be had. They
are shipped to the San Francisco horse
market. which, after the arrival of a
fresh consignment, looks like a bull day
in Wall street. There are 1000 debris
teams 10 the city. but these IA. 200 horses
are insufficient for the task. and it is
believed that 1000 more teams will be
added to the force before Summer
comes.

NEW COPPER DISCOVERY
Ledge of Copper Ore Over a Mile
Long Is Reported

Long Is Reported
From Eurekans who returned this
week from the new Cold Creek Mining
District it is learned hat what is
thought to be one of the most import
ant discoveries made in Nevada this
Spring was recently found at Cold
Greek. In Newark Valley, White Pine
County. A ledge of copper bearing
ore yer a mile long. and varying in
width from four to ten feet, has been
opened up in several places aud gives
assays of from five to 80 per cent in
copper. with fair percentages of gold
and silver. About 40 claims have been
located and a new mining district
formed. The Simonsen Brothers have
taken up several claims along the
ledge. aud John Hancock Jr., James
Mackey, Ben Simonsen of Eureka and
other have interests in the new district.
Recent investigation has shown the
ore from this district to be native cop
per. cuprite, chalcocite and chalcopy-
rite. There is also said to be plenty
of iron ore in that vicinity. aud every
thing indicates hat the new district
may become a large producer of ex-
cepsionally profitable mineral as soon as
il is opened. 1t is about IA miles west
of Bald Mountain. where active opera
tions are now in progress.

Cause of Delayed Western Mails

The direct connection of mails and
express from the West at Palisade has
not been made this week. causing Eu.
rekans a delay of about "a hours in the
receipt of all mails. papers. etc. This
has been caused by a serious breakdown
of the engine on the Solano. the big
ferry hal carries the s. P. trains across
the straits at Benicia. A pan is now
being considered to tow the Solano
across the straits with tugs while the
repairs are being made. Unless this
works, connections will not be made at
Palisade for another week.
