UTAH CAPITAL TO
DEVELOP EUREKA MINES
Mining Deal Now Nearly Com
pleted That Should Mean Much
To This District

Information that has become public
in Eureka during the week from letters
and other sources now leave little room
for doubt but hat the mining deal for
the transfer under option of some Al
mining claims on Prospects Mountain to
Samuel Newhouse aud associates of Salt
Lake City. Utah. will be completed with
10 the mex ten days. According to re-
liable information everything is now
settled but the completion OF an abstract
OF title Of the Pioneer group Of mines,
many OF which properties include the
old Dunder berg mines. worked here in
the early days Of the camp by an Eng.
lish Company, the majority of the
claims being patented.
Matters have progressed so far thai
Mr.. Newhouse's agent in Eureka has
been authorized to submit proposals for
contracting the ~retimbering aud putting
into working order of the shaft ON the
Atlas mine, one of the Dunderberg group,
to a depth Of 500 feet.
The SENTINEL has not seen the terms
of agreement under which Mr.. New.
house and his associates take over these
mining properties. but understands the
options prescribe that a stated amount
Of development work must be carried
on continuously during the two years
period the options run, and this work
must be commenced by August l next.
Mr.. Newhouse has a world wide rep
utation as a man of large affairs, who
goes into any operation he may become
interested in with a view Of getting re-
suits in the shortest possible time. and
he is reported to have recently said in
going over the plans of the development
work to be done in the Eureka mines
that 'if there are any large ore bodies
in old Prospect Mountain we will find
Them"
With so many properties and inter
ests mixed up in the options being
given in this deal, the news hat Sam
Newhouse was going into the mines OF
old Eureka has gradually leaked out.
aud letters are now being received here
from Salt. Lake. San Francisco and
other places commenting on Eureka
having finally secured a ''live one" and
predicting all manner of good times for
the old camp
Que of the old timers here who knows
of some of Mr.. Newhouse's successful
operations said the other day while dis
cussing his coming into this district.
LET Newhouse find a respectfully good
sized ore body in old Prospect Mountain
and there won't be an idle mine in the
camp in six months"
1t is generally conceded that the min
ing ground to be taken over by Mr..
Newhonse contains the cream OF the un
developed acreage in this district, and
IL is predicted that his known vigorous
prosecution of all work undertaken
will, in his Prospect Mountain venture.

Disquieting rumors yesterday halted
the extensive preparations being made
to entertain the Indiana automobile
manufacturers. 1t was reported they
would not come the way they said they
would. Secretary Stevenson of the
Commercial club sent the following
telegram:
Nv. Mckay White, Indiana Tour,
Colorado Springs:
"Press dispatches announce change
and Reno not now on route. Wire us
positively SO that we can complete or
abandon our preparations for entertain
ing your party.
Reno Commercial Club"
In reply Mr.. Mckay White wired as
follows:
Indiana Tour route changed to Tono-
pah and Goldield. Regret inability to
make Reno Also"
This decision is said to have been in
fiuenced by afidavits to the effect that
the road from Eureka to Reno is i'm
passable. This is said to be entirely
false. Recently the Reno Commercial
club called the attention of the Eureka
County Commissioners to a small wash
out at Kelly creek, caused by storms
Of last week. Otherwise, it is said,
this route is alright and was in good
shape at the time the afidavits were
taken East.
A. L. Westgard is credited In Tono.

Tonopah Bonanza asserts there was q
division of sentiment in the party; that
automobile demonstrators in the party
wished to use the northern route and
that manufacturers wished TO use the
southern route. being informed by Mr..
Westgard thar there is lots of auto

than in all northern Nevada. When it
became known in addition. the Bonanz,
relates. that there are splendid hotel
facilities on the southern route, senti-

tells how a party of Tonopah autoists
will cart 100 gallons Of gasoline to a
desert locality called Hot Greek and con-
tinue to Ely to pick mp the visitors.
