Railroad company will be r~eorganized,
and that the damage done recently by
the hoods will be quickly repaired, SO
that the old district can proceed with
its rejuvenation according to schedule
The property of the railroad company
is deemed too valuable to be allowed
to lie idle, so it is confidently expected
that some easy solution of the present
d;f6culties will be found. On the other
hand there is talk of abandoning the
old railroad bed entirely and building
from Eureka to Ely and there connect
with the Northern, which runs to the
Southern Pacific. There are many argu'
ments on favor of this route. At all
events il is certain that there will be a
railroad outlet for Eureka n Eiko
ores before long and the mines Will be
able to resume with full force.
P. K, Grand Rapids-A great deal OF
money was spent on the Combination
Extension by d. Mackenzie & Co., but
without results. Ever indication SEEM
ed to point to a producing mine on this
ground. as it seemed quite likely that
the rich veins of the Florence might
traverse the property and also the
Combination veins, but thousands and
thousands of dollars were spent on this
Combination Elk. and other adjoining
properties trying to locate these veins
without result. The Florence vein
seemed to have stopped short on the
south with the Florence hill. (2l
Goldfeld Jupiter is on the north enc
of Sandstone hill, and although moi
much work has been done on it, 1t il
regarded as "a likely piece of ground
(3) Goldfeld Double Eagle and Biz
Elks are not promising. ~ Diamond
field Triangle is a good property ad
joining the Daisy. One lease working
on it now.
G.. B. c., Enfield, N. CAS- you know
the Jumping Jack, Indian camp an
Stray Dog are mixed up in the Hickey
bank failure. The stock owned by TIL
Sullivan Trust company, and that als'
by the bank is in the hands of the re
ceiver, as is also the property. An at
tempt is being made to get these proper
ties on their feet and their affair
Strengthened out. They are excellen
prospects and worth money. (2) You
Judgment is right about Florence. L
is a good property and the stock wei
worth the market price. For a pros
pect stock, Merger Mines is very at
tractive, indeed, at the present price.
J. L. p, Tacoma-The Kansas City
Goldfeld company is now doing no min
ing in this camp. The. company spen
a very large sum of money on its vari
Gus leases, but without getting pa.
ore. The last lease taken was on tn
Velvet. This lease was bought by thu
Kansas City company after a promis
ing vein had been opened up, disclosing
high values. Further work, however
proceed Disappointing.
P. ". c., Holyoke, Mass.-The Vel
low Tiger is sinking and prosecuting
Development work is steadily in prog
ress, and the long drift to the west OF
the 700-foot level is nearing the poin'
where it is believed the east and west
low grade ore shoot that has followed
for nearly 800 feet will enter the mali
north and south formation. Owing tt
the fact that this big 20 to 4O-foot eros.
vein is largely mineralized throughout
carrying values of from So to 81 stead
lily, it is believed that at the inter.
section of the east and west and north
and south formations, a very material
enrichment will be encountered. The
formation is gradually growing more
Encouraging, and the operators mean
TO get the ore if there is any in the
property.
E. B., Canton, O.-On the Round
al WOth Oh the Inree
upraises from the west drift is prog.
ressing at the usual rate an average of
nearly forty feet a week being main
tanned. No. 4 raise is being sent up
for a width of twelve feet. The other
two, six feet wide, are now up each 125
feet above drift level about twenty.
hve feet above the west drift. In No.
1 raise a fault was encountered some
time ago. Two small slopes show a
face OF between four and five feet of
ore eight inches wide, which go very
good values. The throw of the fault is
to the south thirty-fve feet. The mill
treats an average of twenty tons per
day.
