LOCAL MINING NEWS
Three Important Mining Deals
Reported About Completed in
This and Nearby Districts

OF ore from the
mine on Adams Hill to the Salt Lake
smelters.
The California mine on Prospect
mountain had out six carloads of ore
last Monday ready for shipment to
the shelters, but the roads are evil
IDENTIFY too heavy yet to permit of
hauling, for none of this ore has been
received at the local railway depot.
w. B. Hay and John Wright we're
arrivals from Salt Lake by Mondays
train. Mr.. Hay informs the SENTI-
MEL that he and associates have TAX
en- over the Page mining properties
at Morey, Nye County, about 60
miles south of Eureka. and is arrang-
ing to commence active development
work on the mines as soon as the
roads and other conditions will per-
NIT of ore hauling into Eureka. He
purchased a load of provisions and
mining supplies in Eureka during
the week and left here Friday with a
couple of men to get the property in
shape. E. G. Boston took the load out
with his team. Mrs. Louise Zadow
of Eureka brought about this sale.
and is interested in the company that
has now taken the property over.
fhe SENTINEL was recently in
formed that a new deal was on for
the sale of the Holly mines on Adams
Hill, of the big mining PROPOSE
tons of this district. Later it was
learned that the sale had been made
and that the final steps for taking
over the property by the new owners
were being contaminated. This in
formation was given the SENTINEL
in confidence, but as some one on the
inside has leaked, and as the above
information is now generally known
here. we feel free to publish the mat
ter and give the Jews to the public.
AS it is generally known that the
Holly property is held in strong
hands and that a substantial price is
asked for the property, its taking
owe will no doubt mean that a com
pany with sufficient capital to prop
erly handle the property is behind
the deal. In view of the statement
made in another item in this issue re-
garding the purchase by j. E. Sex
ton of a mining property. it can be
positively stated that he is not inter-
ested in the purchase of the Holly
mines.
j. E. Sexton. general manager of
the Eureka-Nevada Railway. came
up from Palisade by Mondays train
to attend to some business matters in
Eureka and along the line of the
road. He is most optomistic regard
ing a change for the betterment in
business and other conditions 10 Eu-
reka and this section of Nevada, be-
lieving that the wonderful increase
in the prices of all metals cannot
help but bring about a resumption
of work in many mining properties
that have lain idle for years. He
says that capital is seeking invest
ment in all the mining districts of
the West. and with the known min
ing conditions in Eureka and sur-
rounding districts he expects to
see really prosperous times in Eu-
reka before the coming Summer is
over. MIR. Sexton said that ne had
recently been attacked with the
mining fever himself, and that the
real reason for his present trip to
Eureka was to close a deal for a min
ing property that he and associates
believed contained possibilities that
warranted a substantial investment.
He said that as soon as the final
papers were drawn up and signed
he would give the SENTINEL the
news regarding the deal and the
plans of the company for operating
the property. A practical mining
man has already been engaged to
s~uperintend the opening up and fur
Their development of the property.
