EUREMs BRIGHT OUTLOOK
In Interview Judge Breen Pre-
diets Base Range Will Soon
See Former Prosperity

In . conversation at Austin. Nevada,
last week wish 3 representative OF the
Reveille. Judge Peter Breen said that
matters In mining and in other lines
Of business had been so shaping them
selves that there Is no longer any doubt
but that the people Of Eureka will at an
early date have . taste OF the old time
prosperity that once made that town
the envy Of her less fortunate sister
cities throughout the State.
"The Windfall mine. which has been
under course Of development for some
months. is practically beyond the pros.
pect stage. In fact, it has been de-
veloped to q point where the operators
are so sanguine OF the outcome that
they are erecting q mill. A crosscut Is
now being run at depth that will tell
the entire tale OF the bonanza pro-
portions Of the windfall. This prop.
erty is In the hands OF veteran and
wealthy mining men from Goldfeld,
and il they get something Of Goldfeld
dimensions. then everybody knows the
rest-Eureka will hum. There will be
nothing like IL among the older camps
Of the Stite.
RUBY Hill 10 sending down a regular
daily tonnage that keeps the railroad
from Eureka to Palisade smothered in
business and calls loudly day aud night
for more rolling stock and better track
equipage. Some time ago there was q
possibility Of a transfer of the railroad
to the men that own the mines, but
now the outlook for Eureka is SO good
that the railroad people are reluctant to
part with their line; and they spell
their reluctance In terms Of dollars.
1.-THE Ely to Goldfeld railroad may
mean much for Eureka. IL is certain
that from this town to a junction with
the new road will be a clear way to the
south. That the connection will be
made in the due course Of time is Q
logical certainty, thus in time bringing
Eureka in closer touch with the south
ern country than even Ely itself.
"rhe uccess of the Hayes-M onnette
crowd with the Windfall property is
already bringing q number Of the old
time Nevada operators into the district
on tours Of inspection. Ia other words.
a regular watch 10 being kept on Eu-
reka mining developments and there is
no predicting just to what proportions
the interest will grow"
