after the conditions which brought

Frank X. Smitt, who owns the con-
trolling interest in the Adams Hill Min
ing Company property. near the north
end OF Adams Hill. came in from Fish
Creek Wells this week and will remain
until the assessment work on the I'M
patented claims of the Adams Hill
property is completed.
A representative Of the SENTINEL re-
Gently visited Mr.. Smitt at Fish Creek
| Wells. and while there took occasion to
look over the development work in
which Mr.. Smitt has been engaged
during the past is months on q group OF
four claims taken up about ayear and Q
half ago. aud on which work has been
persistently and constantly prosecuted
since the date Of location.
These claims lie on the south side Of
the Wells, adjoining the somewhat
famous Jim Butler mines from which
some $4,000 worth of good ore is re-
ported to have been taken several years
ago. These mines were patented by
Jim Butler and Frank Wey in 1874.
A shaft was put down 275 feet. and q
tunnel 500 feet in length was run to
connect with the shaft at water level.
A shaft was then put down about 20
feet below water level where the ore
was found to change to bsser quality.
There is now between 400 aud 500 tons
Of low grade ore ON the dump OF this
property, left there by MI. Butl,r when
he made the first rich str. Ike that opened
mp the Tonopah District.
1t was the ore on this dump that first
attracted the attention of Mr.. Smitt.
and finally led to his locating the claims
upon which he has been working ever
since. He first discovered an out
cropping about 600 feet up from the
Wells, traces of which are plainly
visible for something like 400 feet fur.
Their up the mountain side. He. then
run an incline shaft to a depth OF l35
feet, in which the vein of lead and silver
ore is found continuously, and from
which he has taken and shipped So tons
that netted, according to smelter re-
turns. 81 per cent lead, 16 ounces silver
aud ei.SO in gold. This vein is from
eight inches to four feet in width, and
does not pinch out or break at any point
in the shaft.
Mr.. Smitt has devoted his entire
attention to opening up his mine, and
has taken out only the ore which 1t was
to remove in order to put
down the shaft. He has run three tun-
nels, the first Of which is So feet in
length and cuts the shaft at a depth OF
about 90 feet; the second tunnel cuts
the shaft at about rs feet depth and IS
about 80 feet in length. while the third
tunnel, now in about 60 feet. cuts the
vein at IS feet, and will give about 800
feet for stopping when it is completed.
1t has taken Mr.. Smitt more than a year
working seven full shifts each week.
and sometimes employing two and three
men to assist him to do this work, but
it now ranks among the best developed
prospects in Eureka County, and GER
tainly reflects much credit upon the in
and practical ability Of the
owner.

The "Sentinel" Makes Apology

In spite of the extraordinary
care in investigating the facts OF
each item before publication, on
which we pride ourselves, it is
inevitable that once in a while an
article appears in the SENTINEL
for which there is not a true
foundation. Such is the case In
regard to the article we published
last week announcing the sup
posed marriage at Salt Lake OF
Adams johnson and Miss Kate
Mechanics, and we here and now
tender u sincere apologies for
our part in publishing the mis-
statement
Mr.. johnson and Miss Nc
Charles are both estimable and
highly respected young people OF
Eureka, and this mistake was
made with the utmost good faith
on our part. We based our
statements upon a letter brought
to us by Ben Regli, who is en-
ployed in the Johnson Mercantile
Company store. as a messenger
from Art johnson, a brother OF
Adams johnson, with instructions
to use the letter for publication.
The SENTINEL goes to press ON
Sunday, and this letter was
brought to us at about $50 Sat
urday night. 1t reads as follows:
