MINING NOTES
Julius Huebner, manager of the
Catlin mining properties here, re-
turned from a business trip to Elko
by Fridays train. He succeeded in
securing a couple of new shaft men
to be added to the force now putting
down the double compartment shaft
on the Connolly mine. and he brought
the men up with him.
A. I. Shields. superintendent in
charge of the Bamberger interests
at Hamilton, has been in Eureka sew
eral days this week arranging for
the shipment of ores from that dis
trict. He states that the big in.
crease in silver and lead prices has
caused renewed activity in mining
circles at Hamiltonand he anticipates
there will be a greatly increased out
put from that district next year
While two trucks and two big teams
are now hauling from there it is
thought there will be some 300 tons
of ore left on the dumps this yeal
for lack of transportation. With
the increased price paid for hauling
from Hamilton it is thought enough
trucks to handle the output will be
put in service in the Spring to TAX
care of all the ores offered.
