the most important strikes of ore in
recent work in the Eureka mines.
This is the strike reported a couple
of weeks ago as having been made
while cutting out a roadway from
the main canyon up to the Catlin and
California properties, a distance of
about 1900 feet. A drift has been
run 30 feet into the hillside from the
point of discovery. and about ten
tons of good grade shipping ore
taken out and sacked. and the face
is now in ore of this high grade class.
For a height of five feet and across
the face. and in the bottom the rich
ore shows a solid mass and there is
not a doubt of its going down. In
fact. this showing probably is as fine
a face of ore as may be seen in the
camp.
1t is reported that the bond on the
Distinction mine. owned by Eureka
people. Ben Repetto. Mike Murphy
and Phil Paroni, which was made by
them to the Catlin interests of New
York. is due the first of December.
and as a good shipment of ore has
been taken out in running 80 feet,
the fortunate owners feel that they
can hold IN to the property a little
longer. even if Major Catlin does not
exercise his option to purchase the
property. 1t is also stated the Dis
tinction ground is vitality important
to the development going forward
on the Connolly property, which ad-
joins the Distinction on the north.
and on which the Catlin interests are
engaged in sinking a new 1OOO-foot
shaft. b.
Work at the new shaft, on the
Connolly, is proceeding in fine shape.
as reported last week. The shaft is
now below the 1O0-foot level, and is
being driven at the rate of six feet
per day. Commencing next week a
night shift will be working, so that
from 10 to IL feet per day will be
made, it is expected.
Nick Modarelli and partner have
been hauling and shipping ore from
their lease on the Connolly the past
week. They have in transit the
largest shipment yet produced, and
it is reported they will suspend work
before the first. and the company
will then enter the shipping list.
1t is reported Carl Smith has struck
a fine grade Of shipping ore on his
lease near the Windfall. Carl and
his partner have been working less
than a month and are fortunate in
running into a good grade Of ore in
this short time.
Work at the Silverado property is
proceeding very satisfactorily. This
property. under operation by the
Summit Mines Co., was formerly a
producer of much rich shipping ore.
and recently the former workings
have been repaired, timbered and
cleaned out 10 preparation for ex-
tensive development. During the
past month a seam of high grade,
running better than $500 per ton,
has been cut. and this Is now being
followed. Three men are working
steadily and good progress is being
made.
AT the California mine a depth Of
100 feet has been attained in former
workings. the waste which filled the
old drifts at the 100. $50 and $50
having been cleaned out. and a drift
started north to get under the big
ore body from which shipments have
been going forward the past seven
months. The ore is said to make in
kidneys and chambers and has been
continuous since frst encountered,
It is reported the California has
been paid for in seven months of
operation from royalties on ship
ments and the owners, Messrs. Kelley
Rebaleatti and Merialdo have been
able to equip the mine and set aside
a sufficient working capital to com
