MINING OPERATIONS MAIN.
TAIN STEADY PACE
Eureka Favored in Many Respects
For Continued Mine Develop
ment During Winter Season

Connections have been made with
the new shaft, now being sunk on
the Catlin property in California
Gulch. through the workings in the
Connolly. The new shaft will be 4x8
IL feet in the clear. and a man-way
will be run outside the shaft. Both
compartments of the new shaft, it is
planned, will be used for hosting
purposes. 1t is not generally known
perhaps that the incline shaft in the
Connolly is down over 400 feet. and
with laterals and raises. covers con-
siderable territory, so that with but
little work it was possible to connect
with the new shaft and secure good
air in the former workings. Work
is being steadily forwarded and good
progress made.
The new hoist at the California
will be put in place next week, and
preparations made to get 100 feet
below the present workings, when it
is anticipated a larger tonnage will
be extracted and much new ground
opened. Shipments now average
about three carr per week.
The Harris Bros, leasing on the
Bullwhacker. have sent out a nice
shipment of ore from that property.
Harris & Fine, operating the Marine
group. of which they are owners.
have shipped a a the past week.
fhe ore is said to average between
an ounce and an ounce and half gold
and about 100 ounces silver.
The Silverado property, operated
by the Summit Queen, under the
management of Clarence johnson,
have opened a good grade of ship
ping ore in recent development.
The ore runs about sos TO $40 per
ton silver-lead and carries some gold
values. The extent of the new dis
covery has not been determined. but
the company are exploring the
ground, and as the ore appears to
make along a we'll defined fracture
or break" it is considered probable
that a good body Of this ore may be
opened with further development.
Inquiries are being received from
mine operators in California and
Utah by the Mining Bureau, relative
to mines that may be obtained by
bond and lease in the Eureka district.
which shows an awakened interest in
general. To such inquiries word is
being sent that Eureka affords good
opportunities for both leasing and
buying ground that is well mineral
lied and that a visit to our camp will
verify such statements. Mine opera
tors must not expect to come into
the district with the idea that they
will uncover bonanza ore bodies with
out Development. but there are sew
eral good properties with CONNER
cial ores developed, that offer ex-
ceptional inducements If some plan
of Development is carried out that
secures depth and permits explora-
ton work on several levels. and at
the same time insures opening of
contacts or assures that show extern
sive naturalization and favorable con-
ditions for good mining.
There is no place in the Eureka
district where mining operations
may not be carried on all through
the Winter season without serious
difficulty. This section generally is
much better in this respect than
numerous camps in Utah, Idaho and
Montana. and better than many dis
tricts of California. or Colorado. and
operators need experience neither
hardships nor unnecessary exposure
in going to and from their camps in
any portion Of the district. The
roads are good during all parts of
the year, where they r kept open
by ordinary travel. In fact, Eureka
ffords practically every convenience
as a supply center. and prices for la
hor and merchandise compare favor
