The company operating the Wood
side Eureka mine, an old Eel Dorado
property, has pumped the water from
the Eureka shaft and may now pump
out the Woodside shaft, which has
been filled with water 40 years. The
Georgetown Gazette says that some of
the Georgetown stock holders in the
company desire to have the Woodside
shaft pumped out, because they re-
member that rich ore was taken from
the shaft in early days.
] The Gazette also says regarding the
plans OF the company:
If the unwatering and sampling of the ores
Of the Woodside workings fill the expectation
| as thoroughly as has the recent examination
OF the Eureka shaft workings, it is more
1 than probable that the company will strain
| every effort to finance the resumption of sink
| ing the new three compartment shaft. This
| shaft is situated on the north side of Main
| street in Georgetown, nearly midway between
the Eureka and Woodside shaft and now of
/ depth of $50 feet. and continues TO a point
two or three hundred feet below the deeper
| of the old workings. and by drifting both north
and south reopen both the old Eureka and the
! Woodside shoots from the one central hoist
| ing and pumping plant.
