SNOW FAILS To STOP SHIPPING
Hamilton Company Continues To Send
Out Ore By the Way of Eureka

Ore is still being shipped from the
mine of the Hamilton Power, Min
ing & Transportation Company at
Hamilton by way of the railroad from
Eureka, but over a new route from
the mine to that town, says the Ely
Expositor. On account of the deep
snow in the White Pine district it is
impossible to keep the teams going
by way of Six Mile during the
Winter season. For this reason the
ore is dragged down Cathedral can
yon, south of Hamilton, and from
there is wagoned across the head of
Railroad valley toward Eureka.
More than a dozen carloads of ore
have been shipped from this prop
erty since the ledge was discovered
in the tunnel last Summer, and the
shipments do not include all the ore
produced as it has been taken out
faster than it could be hauled away,
the company having trouble at times
to get teams for the work.

pYTH|AM GOLDEN JUBILEE
Uniform Rank. Knights of Pythias
Pythian Sisters, and Their
Families Join in Celebrat-
ing 50th Anniversary

February 10, 1914, was probably
the most widely celebrated date that
has ever occurred in the history of
Pythianism, as that was the iftieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Order by Justus H. Rathbone and a
few associates, in the City of Wash
ington. Mr.. Rathbone, an attache
of the Government, read to a few
close friends a ritual he had pre-
pared, and the first lodge of Knights
of Pythias was instituted. If Rath-
bone could view his work to-day, he
wouldbe overwhelmed with astonish-
ment, for from that humble begin
ming the order has grown until nov
it has nearly 10000 lodges and a
membership nearing $1,000. Rath-
bone got his inspiration from the
play of Damon and Pythias combined
with a deeper study of the beautiful
old Syracusan story of the friendship
of these two heroes, and since then
nearly a million and a half have
heard the teachings of Friendship,
Charity and Benevolence as taught
by the ritual.
Elaborate arrangements have been
made in all the larger centers of the
country for public exercises to COM
memorate this notable anniversary,
but business conditions in Eureka
rendering it inadvisable to attempt
giving a public entertainment as out
lined by the Supreme Chancellor, the
members of Eureka Company No. g.,
Uniform Rank, decided to celebrate
the Pythian Golden Jubilee by giving
an entertainment in Pythian Hall to
the Knights of Pythias, Pythian Sis
tiers and members of their families.
1t had been planned to give a SER
les of sterescopic scenes of Pythian
interest, but the non-arrival of ma
terial that had been ordered from
San Francisco rendered it necessary
to abandon this part of the enter
tainment, and the members of the
Company with their invited guests
passed the evening in dancing until
II o'clock. when all adjourned to the
banquet room, which had been taste
fully decorated in the Pythian c%olors,
where they were served with an elab-
crate supper and a pleasant hour
was spent; dancing was then re-
sumed and continued until 2 o'clock,
when the last of the guests departed
for their homes.

EUREKA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The students selected a school yell
last week. If you would like to hear
us give it, visit the assembly room
some Friday afternoon.
The Seniors have selected their
class pins and expect to be wearing
them in the near future. They are
also working on their programmed for
graduation.
About two weeks ago we received
a list of words which are often mis-
spelled. Mr.. Lightfoot requests all
the students to learn how to spell
them correctly.
Angelo Frank studied his CONNER
cial geography and was rewarded for
his hard work with a perfect mark
in the class book.
If you want to have a real jolly
time, come to the Senior Ball on Mays
The High School boys have been
boxing for the last week. We may
in time have a few prize fighters if
the work is continued.
AS soon as the weather changes
we are going to organize a basket
ball team and play basket ball for
the rest of the term.
Friday afternoon we had two visi-
tors, Ray Swick and Lawrence Kautz,
two of our old schoolmates. Wewere
very glad to see them. 1t shows all
of our friends have not forgotten us.
Our exercises Friday afternoon
were carried on in the usual manner.
Two lively spelling contests were
held, Henry Rattazzi and Miss Gladys
Hicks being chosen as leaders for
the first test. Henry Rattazzi's side
had the honoro winning. The second
test was carried on very well until
Mr.. Ham politely gave us the two
long words, caout-chouc and phthisic.
Every one mis-spelled them.
The exercises closed with the fol-
lowing High School yell;
Rah Rah! Rah!
Who are we?

IMPORTANT new STRIKE MADE
Showing of Low Grade
Gold Ore Made in Ground Ad-
joining Old Windfall Mines

What is generally considered to be
an important new strike was recently
made by Joseph Tametti, a leaser, in
the Pearl mine, one of a group of
eight claims owned by Phil Paroni
and Ed Bergman, about four miles
south of Eureka. This group of
claims joins the old Windfall mines,
now owned and operated by the AL
kali Mines Company, on the north
west, and the pres found in the Pearl
are said to be almost identical with
those produced from the Windfall
claims.
A streak of high grade carbonate
ore that gave assays of 5000 was first
found about three weeks ago. This
soon turned into a sandy crushed
lime that gives an average assay of
eight dollars per ton. mostly in gold,
and a drift is reported to have been
run through this sandy formation for
some 60 feet. 1t is said an occasional
streak of high grade black metal is
found in these sands that assays about
$3.50 per ton, with silver largely pre-
dominating.
Large bodies of this sandy gold ore
have been found in the Windfall
group, and the present showing in
the Pearl is said to give every indi-
cation of making into an immense
ore body. This sandy low grade gold
ore is an ideal one for working by
the cyanide process, and if the pres
ent find develops into a large ore
body it will mean the construction of
another milling plant and the reduc-
ton of the ore here.

STATE INSPECTOR TELLS
OF LYNN DISTRICT
Says Lynn Big Six Property Is
Preparing For a Large and
Long-continued Output

Salt Lake Tribune, Feb. Is: That
the management of the Lynn Big Six
of Eureka County, Nevada, is pre-
pairing to handle the output of a
large mine. appears from the charac-
ter of their Winters work. James
Gaughan, deputy Mining Inspector
of Nevada, made an official eXamina-
ton last week of the property as
well as the Bunker Hill groupings
and other properties in the Lynn dis
trict. He had much to say in praise
of the 2O0-foot shaft and 100-foot
crosscut to the east. The shaft is
double compartment and the cross
cut is six feet by eight feet. Such
work is never done for exploration.
but as the Big Six No. 3 has already
been explored and its ore bodies To-
Gated and the fact ascertained that
it is a big mine. it was deemed econ
omical in the long run to prepare for
a large and long-continued output.
The magnitude of the ore bodies
can be grasped when it is understood
that stopping ground is 500 feet to
the surface from the bed rock ex-
posed on both sides of the hill where
the placers are worked.
The nearest approach to a mine of
its extent and value, it is said, is the
Mohawk, and those who are best in
formed with the workings Of both
properties take that view.
The superintendent of the Lynn
Big Six is the we'll known James B.
Allen, who came to the property
from the Park City mines, where he
won a high reputation as one of the
best mining experts in that great
camp.
Deputy Mining Inspector Gaug-
han, also highly complimented the
workings on the Bunker Hill group
which is close by the Lynn Big Six
and also considered a most valuable
property.

BRANCH ROAD TO
BULLION IS ASSURED


General Manager Sexton Of the Eureka
and Palisade Promises Line
Reno Journal, February 12.-The
work of constructing the branch line
of the Eureka and Palisade railroad
to the camp of Bullion will be UNDER
taken shortly, according to j. E.
Sexton, general manager of the road,
who spent several hours in Reno yes
terday while en- route home after a
short session with the Railroad Com
missioners at Carson City.
1.-The mining industry is growing
quite lively in localities along the
Eureka and Palisade road" said Mr..
Sexton last evening on his arrival
from Carson, land especially at the
camp of Bullion, where a good pro-
duction of pay ore is being mined
monthly. The Bullion district has
long requested a railroad, and with
recent showings in the various prop
critics, it is apparent that a sufficient
tonnage will be extracted to insure
sufficient returns for the additional
investment by the railroad officials"
Mr.. Sexton left last night for his
home at Palisade.
The camp of Bullion is one of the
districts that produced a fortune
during the early days when silver
was flirting around the dollar mark.
Within the last two years consider
able work has been carried out and a
number of leasers have secured show
ings that justified the installation of
up-to-date plants. At the present
time supplies are hauled to Bullion
from Elko.
