To Editor of The News:

10 EdltOr OF Inc News:
The News is getting out of the
sphere of simply local paper into
the larger and better field of the state
1t is sparing no pains to fill its news
columns, not only with local mining
news, but state news as we'll. The
News proposes to get in close touch
with every mining camp in the state,
hence here am in the old Base range
town of Eureka. The News home is
in the greatest copper district the
world has yet seen and its field from
this time on will be in every nook
and corner in the richest and great
est state in a mining way in the sis
terhood. The News is the only pa
per published in Nevada's 10000
square miles of territory that is TAX
ing the trouble and going to the
expense of extending it's field of USE
fulness to every part of Nevada, car
rying good news of great joy to ev-
cry fireside in the land. Its efforts
should and undoubtedly will be ap-
preciated, but let me get my bearings
and write of the Base range town,
that had the undivided attention of
the world in the '70's and SOS.
Eureka has been suffering form the
great depression that had Nevada
throttled for the past twenty years,
but is now convalescing and begin
ming to "sit up and take notice." and
is taking nourishment from the great
money centers of Amberica. While
Eureka does not seem quite as much
alive as it was one year ago when the
travel to and from Ely all came this
way, making the Eureka Office of
Wells-Fargo a bustling center and
putting dollars into the pockets of
the livery man and stage company
and doughnuts into the mouths of the
people, it has something in sight
more substantial to look to than a
transient public.
Eureka has contributed to tile
worlds wealth something like $780,
100000. The United States Mining
company has taken possession of the
old camp and it will again be raised
to the level from which it has fallen
This company has expended quarter
of a million dollars for new machin-
cry and has organized and incorpor-
ated the old Richmond and the Eu-
reka Con. ON Ruby Hill. The United
States Mining company Is very reti-
cent as to their intentions, but
enough can be seen to convince one
of the magnitude of the plans and
that If they are worked up to will
bring Eureka to the front and even
ahead of what 1t was in it's palmiest
days. There are at present from 125
to $50 tons of ore shipped out of the
camp daily and that output will

Eureka Railroad company is now
worked to capacity with ore ship
ments from the Base range and Ham,
ilton. The Diamond company is OPP
Grating and shipping much ore. John
is shipping ore from his
mine, which by the way is rich one
and adds many dollars to the Nc
Naughton bank account monthly. The
Silver Conner mine is under bond and
there is strong probability of its
becoming a producer in short time.
The McDonalds of Tonopah have the
bond. The Dunderberg and Pioneer
groups have recently been consolidat-
ed and have cleared the decks for
great activity very soon. The Dun
derberg has produced over $4,000
900.
There are several propositions be-
ing incubated any one of which will
bring Eureka to the attention of the
world. Two or three years ago one
might have bought residence prop
erty in Eureka for song and the
parties selling would have furnished
the music In other words property
sold for $50 that today could not be
bought for seven or eight times $50.
The old Jackson house, one of the
best built hotels in Nevada, rented
three years ago for $50 per month,
but today the same building rents for
$500 per month. Straws indicate the
way the wind is blowing and | simp-
ly cite these incidents to show THAI
Eureka is coming out of its long sleep
and will be greatly refreshed by its
long rest and will soon take its prop
er place in the procession and march
on and upward until the summit is
reached.
