EUREKA MINES HAVE BIG
TONNAGE OF MILLING ORES
Numerous Properties of the Dis
trict Represent Attractive Min
ing Features

Eureka district. not one but many
properties, upon which but little de-
velopement has been done, that shows
large outcrops of ore with
good milling values. and for consid-
cradle distances along the surface.
and in making public such state
ments there is no desire to magnify
conditions, nor boost" any particu-
lar property. We venture to say.
however, that in nc other mining
section of the West would such min
eral showing remain undeveloped.
A tunnel on the property under con-
sideration, run 10 feet cut ore of
$25 to $50 grade in a break" that
can be followed on the surface for
more than 500 feet, leading up to the
lime-quartzite contact, which is also
well m~ineralized. The outcrop along
this break" is quite prominent. In
addition. there is strong mineraliza-
ton along this outcrop, showing the
mineral solutions penetrated the ad-
joining wall rock to a considerable
extent. The "leached" condition of
the outcrop is apparent. but streaks
and punches of pay" can be found
scattered along this break" for the
distance mentioned. The formations
lay conformably with those at Ruby
Hill and with limited development
considerable bodies Of r should be
found. This is but one of several
properties that would lead to the
conclusion that much of the ground
in Eureka district has been only
scratched"
Another property recently visited
has upwards of $1,000 tons of good
mill ore blocked out. This is sup
posed to be the particular condition
that appeals to all good 81 or com
petent mining authorities. And as
practically all this ore Is above the
$50 level, and the property is opened
by tunnel down to a point 1000 feet
vertically below the outcrop, with
orein the bottom. it would seem to
offer inducements for mine-making
that would suit parties that desire a
paying ming.
The Eureka Mining Bureau is as
sembling and collecting data that
will be of service in interesting out
side capital in such mining proper
ties in Eureka district that will stand
close investigation ,pnd information
covering some of the most promis-
ing mines and prospects in the camp
will be forwarded responsible in
quirers who are seeking meritorious
mining propositions. upon request.
The California mine has about so
tons of ore on the ore dump for
shipment. which looks ABOUT as good
as any recent shipments from the
district. Solid chunks of galena and
rich siliceous ores. some of which
run considerably above $4,000 per
ton, r frequently seen in this lot.
1t is reported the Harris Bros.
leasing on the Bullwhacker. are
sinking a shaft to connect with the
recent discovery made near the SUI
face on that property. The opening
on the strike of ore. as reported in
the SENTINEL recently, was simply a
a shallow incline drift that turned
at several points necessitating the
handling of the ore twice before get
ting it to the SURFACE. With the
completion of the new shaft. inclin-
ing about 4 degrees to the northeast.
with the pitch of the ore, there will
be no such difficulty, and the body OF
shipping ore opened will be thorough
ly explored. A good shipment has
been sent to the smelters, and as the
body of ore will make tonnage fast,
it is expected shipments will be made
regularly hereafter. The values are
reported to be holding up we'll, and
even better than at first anticipated.
