ly, in California .Gulch, preparatory
to resuming work of sinking the
shaft on this property. The engine
and hoist are of sufficient capacity to
drive the shaft to the 1000 level. and
thoroughly explore the large acreage
of mineral ground under control of
Major Catlin and associates. The
mineral acreage is very large and
embraces about fourteen mining
claims, covering the lime-shale and
other contacts. The ground in the
neighborhood of the rhyolite intru-
sives will also be opened. Shipping
from surface workings is proceeding
and there is no doubt other bodies of
ore will be opened as soon as the
force and machinery for the work
have had the opportunity to get un-
der the pres showing on the surface
and in various workings.
Ghe California and the Mortimer
are continuing shipments up to the
normal quota. and it is reported Al
fred Huebner is extracting a good
tonnage from his property adjoining
the California.
Messrs. Harris & Fine, the Harris
Bros. and others operating at Adams
Hill are getting out some fine ore.
Shipments have been going for
ward the past week from the Eureka
Richmond at Ruby Hill, and some
fine ore is being extracted. Samples
show high grade lead-silver, carrying
small gold values.
Shipments will be sent out from
the discovery of bismuth south of
Eureka as soon as teams or freight
ing facilities are available.
From later data covering the vein
and formations contiguous to. and
the character of the vein and ledge
matter. at this property it would APP
pear that there is a mine there, and
that development of sufficient extent
will be prosecuted to prove same.
1t is said that a tunnel site has been
located and that about $50 feet depth
may be secured by an adit of some
300 feet.
1t is asserted on good authority
that much of the Eureka ore may be
milled by proper methods. Work
now going forward would seem to in
dictate strongly that the larger por-
ton of the siliceous ores. and prob
ably much of the oxides can be con-
centrated. 1t is said that ores of
this class are being "hoated" at
Phoebe and elsewhere that, while orig.
inally heavy with iron and oxidized
material and have laid in the dumps
for many years, are being concen-
trated and much of the iron content
dropped" Much depends upon
the character of the experiments and
the methods employed, but there un-
doubtedly is a good field here for
some enterprising metallurgist with
the necessary capital. which would
not be large. to install a plant for re-
duction of ores in the Eureka district.
appendicitis at Elko last week, is re-
ported to be rapidly recovering from
the effects of the operation. The APP
pendix was found to be greatly en-
larged and inf1amed and its removal
imperative.
Mr.. and Mrs. ID. Z. N~ostrosa, the
Misses Annie, Bonnie and Myrtle
Smith, and Richard Hooper and Will
Swick returned home Thursday eve
ming by auto from Reno, where they
were in attendance at the Grand
Lodges of the Knights of Pythias and
Pythian Sisters that convened in that
city last week.
