The Salt Lake Tribune Of October "a

pany Of this district:
One in Nevada hears more about the
new mining districts in a day than he
could learn about one of the old camps
in a month, and il is on the old camps
in a large measure, too. that Nevada
will have to depend for yesrs to come
for its major mineral probation. In
the early days no greater boom ever oc.
Cured than tho Eureka excitement. and
that this old camp is going to be heard
from soon is vouched for by w. Z.

pany. Mr.. Jeannot is a guest at the
Kenyon. and when asked yesterday by
The Tribune for the news from Eureka,
he said:
People are taking notice of Eureka
again, and l predict that within the
next five years the mipes Of the camp
will be producing as great and as rich a
tonnage as they did in the early days.
The camp has q record Of $500, 000, 900
mineral output during its history, and
there we're only three mines that gained
any good depth, and the deepest work.
ing was 300 feet to the best Of my
knowledge. Each day there are two or
more mining experts investigating
properties for capitil, and a sale of i'm.
portance has just been contaminated by
Goldheld people. The Western Devel
opment Company Of Goldfeld pur-
chased recently the Windfall property
for the sum Of $500, 900. the property
shipping just before this sale two cars
of ore that ran over SIC. 1000.
"There are several classes Of ore in
the camp, gold. silver-lead. gold and
straight silver-lead. In the early days
only a portion of the tonnage brough,
to view could be sent to market. This
left a magnificent tonnage untouched
for our day. And right there lies the
secret of Eureka's future usefulness.
IL is going to be q great milling camp,
and that means years of work and prof.
its. From the start. too. it meal the
intelligent application Of much capital,
aud that now Is being supplied.
my company owns and operates TIL
old Idaho property. now better know
as the Holly. In the old days THU
property produced $4,000 worth OF
ores above the 200-foot level. We are
now driving to the 500-foot level. and
We will not do any drifting or cross
cutting until that depth is attained.
There are fully 100, 900 tons Of ore IN
disturbed in this mine which the early
operators could not dispose of. This
ore will range from $40 a ton on up IL
silver aud lead, with a little gold as
well. We are going to erect q mill 10
treat our ores, but we desire to know
what our ultimate tonnage Is likely to
be before drawing our mill plans.
repeat. therefore, that in five years
from now the camp will be full Of mills
and results are assured"
