ORE SHIPMENTS ARE
INCREASING STEADILY
Eureka Mining d p IN 9 t
Shows Continued Improvement
Several New Propositions
to Be Started


California and the Connolly have been
satisfactory. and there is no doubt a
larger quantity might be shipped
without much additional develop
ment, should the owners desire. At
the California. plans are prepared
for cutting a larger station in the
tunnel, and installing a new hoist.
and until this work is completed the
lessees. Kelley & R~ebaleati, are hoist
ing about one a per day.
AT the Summit Queen Mining Com
pany's property. south of the Dia-
mond, Messrs. Johnson & Broy are
sacking some high grade galena for
shipment from surface work. A
short tunnel and drift has been run
on a pay streak high up on the side
of the mountain and. the ore has the
appearance of permanence. 1t is con-
sidered likely, owing to conditions at
the Summit and the Diamond that
the rich bodies of ore opened in the
south drift on the latter property
should with depth be found in the
Summit. The south drift on the
Diamond was run out about 5000 feet,
which brings proven ore close to if
not actually under the workings on
the Summit ground.
AT the Oriental & Belmont, also
owned or controlled by The Summit
Queen Company, John Fine has
opened some good ore of shipping
grade, and is sending forward regu-
lar shipments. This is one of the
older properties of the Adams Hill
section of the Eureka district, from
which large quantities of rich ore
was mined in former years. 1t is no
doubt true that with some develop
ment many properties on Adams Hill
would produce shipping ore. 1t is
said that in running a drift recently.
eve the waste carried quantities of
galena, sufficient to pay for the work
by screening.
Messrs. Kennedy and States are
reported to have secured a working
bond on the Holly mine on Adams
Hill, and have installed a small jig
for the purpose of working over
some of the ores blocked out and on
the dumps at the Holly. A big ton
mage of good ore is developed at this
property and with efficient methods
should be readily put in the list of
producers.
In the Silverado district, the Sum-
NIT Queen Company r working a
force to get the mine and former
workings in shape for active mining
during the coming Winter season.
Some timbering has been necessary,
and the 200 level is being put in
shape to mine ores known to be on
this level, from which much ore of
5000 and $500 gradewasshipped under
the former management. The prop
erty is equipped with hoist and build
ings sufficient for extensive opera
tions. Clarence Johnson is superin-
tending operations, he has had
extensive mining experience, and
has taken a financial interest in the
operations of the Summit Queen
Mining Company.
Alfred Huebner has opened ship
ping grade of ore on his lease on the
Mortimer property. found within
two feet of the surface.
There is no e~xaggeration in the
statement that reports of strikes or
finds of shipping ore in the Eureka
district create no special degree of
interest. In fact they are usually
co-incident with reports of work
being started. and in this respect
Eureka is no doubt unique to put it
mildly. Anywhere in the West, in
the mining districts, such reports
are vitality important to the prosper
of the community, and it is of
such discoveries or prospects that
mines are made.
