The Enterprise says Prof. D. I. Smith
has returned. to Virginia City from the
meeting of the Geological Society of
America, which was held this year at
Stanford University. A long list Of
papers was read before the society by
biologists from all parts of the country.
Two localities Of Nevada came in for
notice. The iron ore deposit at
Barth, near Palisade, IL Eureka County,
was given special attention by ]. o.
Jones of Reno; and the gypsum and
anhydrise deposit at the Lud wig copper
mine received the attention of A. f.
Rodgers Of Palo Alto. Both Of these
papers treated of these deposits at con-
siderable length. 1t is evident from the
interest shown by the society in these
papers that they regard Nevada as pos
sessing great mineral wealth yet I'M.

The Silver West is another Adams
Hill property from which a great deal
of ore has beer produced. In fact. the
whole Adams Hill district abounds
with prospect holes, few of them so feet
in depth, but all of which have pro-

ATTENTION
To The Women Of Eureka County

To The Women of Eureka County
A communication has been received
from Miss Anna III. Martin, State Presi-
dent Of the Equal Franchise Society Of
Nevada, requesting Mrs. G. M. Roberts
to start a branch society in Eureka
County. and appointing her County Press
Chairman OF the same.
On account Of the stormy weather Of
the past week, Mrs. Roberts was unable
to visit the ladies of Eureka and vicinity
as she had intended. Therefore it was
but a small number of ladies who met
Thursday afternoon at the home Of Mrs.
Roberts on Spring street to discuss the
Equal Franchise question. But as all
present seemed greatly impressed with
the grave Importance Of the question,
they proceeded to nominate and elect .
President. Press Chairman and Treasurer.
As this is a very important question to
the women of Nevada, it seems meet and
proper that Eureka County should fall
in line and not be q back number.
Therefore, a cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all women Of Eureka County.
who may desire to become a member of
the Equal Franchise Society of Nevada.
to all women who are interested in the
suffrage question, or to any who may
simply desire to know, to meet
at the home Of Mrs. G. M. Roberts
on Spring street at L: 80 p. m Wednes-
day. April II.
Any woman residing at Palisade or in
any other part of the county, desiring to
join, but who may find it impossible to
attend the meetings. may join by letter.
AS we are anxious for all the women of
Eureka County to have q voice in this
matter, we would be pleased for any
woman residing at Mineral Hill, Pali-
SADIE. Beowawe or Cortez interested 10
this movement, and who may desire to
hold an Office so as to be better able to
cooperate in this work, to communicate
with Mrs. G. NJ. Roberts at once.
1t is sincerely hoped that this move in
the right direction will meet with the
hearty approval OF the women of Eureka
County. and that a large attendance will
prove the efficiency Of woman to think
for herself. PRESS CHAIRMAN.

(. 8 P. RAILROAD MATTERS
ConstructionW Completed and
Further Operations Await Or
ders From Mr.. Whittell

George Whittell, present owner Of the
E. s. p. who was expected to reach
Palisade Tuesday for an inspection Of
the railroad from there to Eureka, failed
to arrive, and as far as the SENTINEL
can learn. nothing is known at Palisade
when he will arrive there.
IL is learned that the construction
work on the railroad. as far as that to
be done by the contractors is concerned.
has been finished aud all the construc-
ton forces except a few men employed
at Diamond Station in repairing the
water system there were this week taken
off the road and into Palisade. Some
of this force is now employed in the
company's shop there in changing en-.
gines from coal to oil burners and repair.
ing the rolling stock.
Outside Of this, all other work and
plans for putting the railroad into ac-
tive operation are held mp pending or
ders from Mr.. Whitfield, and it is now
stated these orders will be received to-
day or tomorrow
Various rumors and surmises are
afioat as to the probable cause of the
present hold up of work looking to the
early putting of the road into operation.
but as heal as can be learned they
emanate from no official source. One is
to the effect that negotiations for the
road. or a satisfactory ore hauling con
tract, are again being considered by the
Richmond Eureka Mining Company and
Mr.. Whittell. and another is that plans
for taking the road over by the Western
Pacific are under consideration.

Some Adams Hill History

Adams Hill, one of the principal SEQ
tons Of the Eureka mining district, is
situated about 3400 feet nearly due
north of Ruby Hill and Prospect Noun
tain, and about one mile west Of the
town Of Eureka.
The principal part Of Adams Hill is
composed Of Hamburg limestone, the
Secret canyon shale forming a band run
ming east and west along its southern
flank, and the Hamburg shale makes its
appearance in q similar manner on the
northern slope. To the north Of the
Hamburg shale and east of the Hamburg
limestone. the Pognip limestone is ex-
posed. The absence Of the shale be-
tw cen the limestones is due to the con
tinuation OF the jackson fault.
North of the Hamburg shale, in the
Poguip limestone. there is a large out.
crop of quartz-porPhyry. and further
on. in the same rock, smaller overflow is
visible in the underground workings of
the Bullwhacker mine. The dip OF
all the formations of Adams Hill is APP
parently to the north. visible in the
underlying limestone, and overlies beds
of shale in varying degrees.
The deposits in this district are all
more or less connected with assures
and slips, which in the limestone near
the shale nave a general cour Sc parallel
to their contact, observed in the old
Bowman shaft. Although no great
caves, as on Ruby Hill, have been
opened in Adams Hill, many rich bodies
of ore have been mined, all of which
have been.disoovered at or near the sur.
face, none of the mines having reached
a depth of over 400 feet.
The ores contain q higher percentage
of gold than those Of Ruby Hill. the
values prevailing in the quartz. Car
Donate and sulphide of lead. however.
have been produced in large quantities
from the Bullwaoker aud Williamsburg
mines. the Oriental and Belmont and
many others.
Probably the largest producer of ore
from Adams Hill has been the Bull
whacker, with a record of over 81 AGO.
900. A depth of abont 400 feet has
been reached and between three aud
four miles Of workings run. All the
ore produced has been shipped to the
smelters.
The Oriental aud Belmont an d the
Williamsburg follow the Bullwhsoker
with a production of over a quarter a
million each. A depth of over 800 feet
has been reached in the Williamsburg.
