The weather that day was warm and
pleasant and an unusally large crowd
gathered on Main street and was pres
emit at the sale.
Great interest was manifested In the
proceedings by the people and con-
siderable speculation was INDUCED in
here as to which OF the several inter.
ests involved would be the successful
bidder fer the property. When Mr..
Humphreys finally declared the prop
erty sold to the representative OF the
United States Mining and Smelling
Company, it was felt that a decisive
step looking to the reconstruction of
the washed-out railroad between Eu-
reka aud Palisade had been taken,
and q spirit Of general good feeling
prevailed.
Shortly after the sale had been made
the SENTINEL interviewed Mr.. Heintz
and asked him what probable action
would now be taken by his company in
the matter Of the early reconstruction
Of the road. as the people here were
greatly interested in ascertaiuing when
railway service into Eureka would be
resumed.
Mr.. Heintz replied in substance that
he fully realized the position and the
interest the people of this community
have in the matter and would be glad
TO give out any information as soon as
he was able to do so. He said it
was the present intention of his
company to reconstruct the rail-
road and resume work in the mines
here at the earliest possible mo-
meut; that upon the return of Attorney
Alfred Sutro to San Francisco it was
intended to at once ask the release of
the stockholders of the Eureka & Peli-
SADIE Railway Company from the six
months redemption clause. and he had
strong hopes that this request would be
granted. II this release was obtained.
Mr.. Heintz stated the SENTINEL could
assure its readers that the dirt would
fly at once and the railroad would be
rebuilt and put in operation as soon as
men aud material could complete the
work.
On the other hand. Mr.. Heintz said
that if the releases from the redemption
clause were not secured from the stock
holders of the Eureka g. Palisade Rail-
way Company it would mean that
nothing would be done toward rebuild
ing the road before the first Of next
June. when the six months time limit as
provided by law for the redemption OF
the property will expire.
Attorney Alfred Sutro. who was
present, stated that il the releases were
secured he would notify the SENTINEL
as soon as they were obtained. so that
the people here would be informed at
once when the work Of rebuilding the
road would be commenced.
