/ Mr.. Rusk stated that there are at
present about As men employed in
and about the company's property, and
he estimates there are about 100 people
in the district.
In conversation with General Mana.
ger Kirchen the SENTINEL cleaned the
following information regarding the
mining situation at Typo.
"Our company employs about Al
men in and about the mines. Many Of
your old timers will remember the
name of the principal mine in the pres
ent company's group of claims-the 2 G
Il was so named by the original ~locators
in 1874, Gally and Gillette. They dis
posed of the property at a nominal fig.
ure. about $50. 600. and those purchas-
ing were amply reimbursed up to the
time silver was demonetized, when the
price of the white metal and also lead
fell to such a low figure that the prop
erty could not be operated at a profit
and consequently all work ceased.
but things are different now
When the present company took hold
Of the property there was a veritable
lake of water in the lower workings.
This water has been oil pumped out and
exploitation has been carried forward
as systematically and expeditiously as
possible.
"a few weeks ago, on the 800 foot
level, we opened up an eight-foot ledge
of fine galena ore that will go better
than $50 to the ton. About 100 tons OF
this ore are being extracted each day
The company's holdings comprise seven
patented claims and six other locations.
There are SO many new strikes occur
ring almost every minute in Nevada
these days that l am almost constrained
from making predictions regarding the
future of Typo district in a mineral
way, but l will say this: When the de-
velopment work now laid out for the
exploration of the company's property
is completed Typo will be up close to
the swiftest in the mining race. At
present we are making regular ship
ments of ore to Tonopah and Millers,
rear the latter place.
Last Sunday we had a picnic at the
grove near Typo, given by Miss Mary
Jane Morrison. our popular school
teacher. 1t was a most agreeable gath
ering. and the only incident occurring
to mar the festivities was occasioned by
n of the guests present. who is of
German extraction. insisting that Linn
burger cheese should b. served as des-
sert."
The party was graced by the presence
of Mrs. Heriocker, an estimable lady.
and the gentlemen during their short
stay in Eureka were voted the jolliest
bunch that ever struck the town.
The run of 1870 miles from Typo to
Eureka was made in IL hours, includ-
ing several stop-overs.
The party's visit to Eureka was for
the purpose of looking after a consign-
ment of freight for Typo via Eureka.
They visited the mines on Ruby Hill
Saturday afternoon and left the next
morning for Typo, Goldfeld and Tono-
pah. Edward Kraus of Eureka accom-
panied the party on the return trip.
