OLD CAMP OF EUREKA TO
HAVE MINING REVIVAL

Owing TO the present high price Of
silver the old camp of Eureka is dcs-
tined to become one OF the foremost
silver and lead producers of Nevada
within a comparatively short time.
Eureka was once one of the most IA.
nous camps in the early mining his.
tory of the state, and is credited with
production of s2CC, ,CCO,COO prior to
the cessation of extensive operations
in the early '9Cs, due to the slump in
the price of silver. With the high
prices for silver and lead which now
prevail the camp will be resurrected
and will become one of the most ac.
tive mining regions of the state.
Representatives of eastern and Ne
vada capitalists are now investigating
number of old producers with a view
of taking them over and resuming
operations on an extensive scale.
