LONG UpRASE COMPLETED
Connection Made Between Pros
pect Mountain Tunnel and
Silver Connor Mine

On Monday. April IL, o connection
was made between the raise from the
Prospect Mountain tunnel and the
lowest workings of the Silver Conner
mine. On account of the heavy
draught only a small hole has been
broken through, and until doors are
placed in the Prospect Mountain tun.
mel the connection will not be broken
out to full size.
In starting this raise from the Pros
pect Mountain tunnel advantage was
taken as far as possible of the old work
ings. As this old work was very
crooked, in one place making a COM
plete loop. considerable widening and
Strengthening was necessary. Several
cutoffs of some length were also made
in order to s~traighten the raise and cut
out fiat places, through which ore
would not run. In all there is a total of
$50 feet of raise, running up on an
average inclination of about 55 degrees.
The Silver Connor workings are reach
ed at an elevation of $50 feet above
the Prospect Mountain tunnel. A line
of stulls Jagged on the chute side
divides the raise in two compartments,
a Underway and a chute.
The Strengthening work in the old
raise was done by hand, and also some
of the work in new ground. The last
part Of the raise. however, was put
through with air drills of the hammer
type. as the rock was too hard to make
fast progress by hand.
At the head of the raise considerable
low grade ore is available. After drop
ping through the chute to the Prospect
Mountain tunnel the ore will be tram.
med to the mill by mule train. Track
has been laid from the bottom of the
raise to the ore bins at the mill.
Work on the mill is progressing
steadily in the present fine weather,
and it is expected that milling opera
tions will be started in the near future.

We have not seen the street cleaner
around our way for some time, only on
Saturdays, when he comes for four bite.
Dick Ryland, an old resident Of this
district. arrived last evening from San
Francisco, where he has been rusticat-
ing for some time.
Men whose business it is to know in
form us that charcoal lie abundant in
the hills, and the market has only been
bare Of the article from the state Of the
roads and bad weather.
We we're informed Of an offer Of $4,000
being made for q frame house and lot
on Main street in Eureka yesterday.
Real estate seems to be going mp just
now.
BY last evenings report on the stock
board we notice the Eureka Consolidated
stock quoted and closing at $50 per
share. This is the highest figure it has
reached for a long time and shows q
tardy though welcome recognition Of
something near it's value.
Night before last some enterprising
individual walked away with q grind
stone belonging to Maupin & Cromer.
Msupin says he has the fixtures, such
as handle. box etc., which are certain
ly necessary to the completeness OF the
purloined grindstone, and il the party
will call he will rig the whole thing up
in proper shape.
Immediately south OF the Jackson
Company's furnaces is q hill lately
named Coy Hill, on which some fine
locations have been made recently.
Specimens of ore from that sections az.
says very rich. Being but a short dis
lance from town-in fact within plain
sight Of Main street-should the mines
prove good on going down q fortune
awaits the owners.
Spring fights have become Q local
amusement among our people. 1t
would seem that during the inclemency
of Winter the various performers in the
arena of public fights are either froze up
or froze out, and do not thaw out until
Spring. Like the flies, lying dormant
through cold weather. they seem to
gather new activity when the sun comes
out. There we're no less than six knock
downs before breakfast on Sunday
morning, and the sport was kept up at
intervals until early yesterday morning.
Times are growing lively among the
boys just now.
W. II. Sweeney, the irrepressibIe
liveryman, he Of chloride Of lime and
Mineral Hill fame, made quite a ensa-
ton on Main street yesterday. In COM
pany with two ladies from the Flowery
Kingdom, who were gsily decked off for
the occasion, Sweeney drove through
the principal streets behind q pair of
mustangs. Never was q conquering
hero, returning from his fields of con.
quest. more heartily cheered by an adj
miring populace than was he. But our
friend bears applause with exceeding
good grace. and goes for coin Q ,ery time.
After having made the circuit, the gall
liant driver relinquished his seat to q
Fifteenth Amendment, who seemed to
enjoy the sport hugely. Chinese ladies'
must have amusement. Of course, and
who more right than they who pay for
it.

FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR PAlISADE
Western Pacific Section Foreman at
Cluro Run Over By Train

(iuro run over by IRAN
Exc Independent: Elrly Monday
morning John Aviles, section foreman
at Cluro, boarded Western Pacific No.
4 at Beowawe to ride to his home. As
Cluro is not a regular station, the train
did not stop and Aviles jumped of
when it was running at full speed. In
some way he fell under the wheels and
his left leg was cut of at the knee and
he was badly cut on the head. The
train passed Cluro at 2 o'clock Monday
morning and the injured man was not
found until 8 o'clock.
On receipt of the News, Superin.
tendent Ogilve dispatched q special
train to Cluro to bring the man here.
The train returned yesterday afternoon
and Aviles was taken to the Redwood
hospital, where he died last night.
Aviles was a Greek, aud so far as
known had no relatives in this country.
His death is probably due to his failure
to notify the conductor TO let him off
at Cluro.

OF WINOFALL MINE
Management Expects to Have
the Mine and Mill in Opera
ton by May 10

Announcement is made by Managing
Director James H. Caustea Of the
Windfall Mining Company. who is
now here experimenting affairs. that
the Windfall mine will be reopened as
early as the plant can be put In condi-
ton, which will probably be about May
10.
Though the new quartz mill was in
operation for ten days before the de-
struction Of the E. & p. Railway. it was
incomplete In several respects. A large
force of carpenters will begin Monday
the additional construction required.
including belt conveyors from the
crushers to the ore bins, the installing
of a new trommel to minimize the
work of the rolls and increase the
capacity Of the mill; the reconstruction
OF the tailings conveyor and other
changes and improvements deemed
necessary to make the plant as conn.,
plete and perfect as possible, that there
may be no interruptions when milling
is once begun.
b. p. Campbell will again be in
charge of the mill and m%etallurgical
work. and Robert Harvey Of Ruby Hill
has accepted the position of mine FORE
man. The boarding house will open to-
morrow in charge Of Angelo Florio.
M. McMichael, formerly master me-
chanic at the Windfall, will arrive
Tuesday to accept his old position.
]. II. Oausten. managing director of
the Windfall, will establish his Office
at the mine Monday.
The private telephone line to the
Windfall is being repaired. When
completed it will connect direct with
Ruby Hill and the Western Union
Telegraph Office In Eureka.
Z. L. Campbell, one Of the principal
stockholders Of the Windfall Mining
Company. who was expected to arrive
in Eureka from Los Angeles this week,
was detained on account Of illness. He
will arrive on Tuesday, stage.
The manager Of the Windfall states
that in the employment Of men prefer
ence will in every instance be given to
residents OF Eureka. He further ex
presses the opinion that there are enough
and probably more men in the camp
now than there will be work for, and
outsiders coming here now with the
hope of employment will be disap-
pointed.
The reopening Of the Windfall means
infinitely more TO Eureka that the ac-
tive operation of a mine and the en-
ployment Of 100 men. 1t is the men be
hind it. their regulations and influence
in business and financial circles, and
their ability to bring the camp to the
attention Of capitalists. which Is of vital
and ~far.reaching importance.
No n doubts the value of the Wind
the property have already been demon.
strated. With the rapid development
planned it is destined to enter the list
Of big dividend payers at an early date.
Nothing succeeds like success" and
there is no subject 30 dear to the heart
of man as his success. 1t is a matter of
keen satisfaction and intense pride OF
which he will talk In season and out of
season. The success of the Wiudfall,
therefore. means the liberal advertise
ment of Eureka in financial centers. and
will serve to bring capital to develop its
many promising properties.
