though long unsung, had not been en-
tirely forgotten. The Eureka-Holly.
possibly less pretentious in the scope
OF Its operations, went to work on Ad-
ans Hill, almost within the shadow
of Ruby Hill. where 1t has developed
a lusty young bonanza.
Money has been expended without
stint by the Eureka Croesus on Pros
pect Mountain, and within the past
few months payment Of the reward
has commenced. No less than six
new ore bodies have been opened,
mostly In virgin ground. which are
producing ore of o richness compar-
able to the old days of the mines.
There never was lead-silyer camp
80 rich as Eureka. Both gold and
silver figure largely in the values,
which Is rather unusual in lead ores.
The ore bodies not only are rich, but
they are of large dimensions. The
up-thrust that raised the mountain
also fractured the limestone in in
Vulnerable places. The minerali-
zing solutions assembled through these
assures and filed them with ore. The
soluble limestone yielded readily to
chemical action and was itself charged
with the metals, resulting in replace
ment" ore bodies of huge size that
appear to extend to great depth.
The opening Of a mine, either
old or new, 10 somewhat OF q tedious
Job and requires time, patience, re-
sourcefulness and plenty of money.
That has been the case with the Eu-
reka- -Croesus, but finally came the
day when the mines were equipped.
the ore bodies opened, and shipments
were commenced. For the past three
months or more the Eureka-Croesus
has been shipping from 500 to 1900
tons a month. At the same time the
main shaft has been equipped with an
entirely new outfit of machinery cap
able Of sinking to greater depth; ore
bins have been built and tramway
from the mine to the main road In
New York canyon is under construc-
ton. At the other end of the line a
spur of the railroad is being extend
ed over the old road bed to its orig
inal terminus, near the Richmond
smelter, where ore bins will be built,
thereby cutting on haul of one and
one half miles. In time an aerial
tramway will connect these bins di-
rectly with the mines, eliminating
the haul by team.
One of the largest ore bodies found
in the Eureka-Croesus mine in the
new development has been followed
by winze from the 400 foot level to
a depth of 500 feet. The bottom of the
winze is in a solid body OF rich ore,
but also Is in water. and 1t is imprac-
ticable to continue sinking under
these conditions. 1t has been de-
cided, therefore, to sink the main
shaft and drift out to the ore. This
work will start as soon as the new
hoist and air compressor are In place
and ready for the duties imposed
upon them. 1t Is purposed to con-
tinue shipping the better grade of
ore from ore bodies on the zoo and
400 foot levels during the Winter.
Commencing early in the Spring re-
duction works are to be constructed.

Shipments of Rich Ore Bring
About Renaissance of Eureka
BY Charles F. spillman in Nevada Mining Press

There is perhaps no one Of the old
mining camps of Nevada that has
demonstrated its worth during the
mast year to the extent of Eureka. II
belonged to the old regime, the an
eient days of Nevada, and the pros
perity of the two past decades failed
TO reach to its rugged hills. For that
matter, the days of the gold rush and
stock gambling that followed the dis
coyery of Tonopah and Goldfeld and
lasted for eight years, were not to
the advantage Of the old camps. Men
were concerned In the search for new
discoveries and ever pushed forward
to get the pot Of gold that lay at the
end OF the rainbow.
Not many Of the old camps can
compare with Eureka. either In the
high grade Of its ores. nor the size Of
its ore bodies. In the twenty years
that 1t may be said to have been In
It's full glory-from the early '70s
until the late 'S0s-local smelter rates
we're exorbitant. During the last
few years Of Its big production. when
ore was shipped by train loads to the
Utah smelters. the railroads exacted
q heavy toll. So that In whatever
direction II turned stood the road
agent with his cry Of hands up"
The result was that only high grade
ore could be either smelted or shipped.
Viewed In the light Of what now Is
known Of the methods pursued and
the costs incurred In the operation
of the smelters in those pioneer days,
the charges they made for the treat
ment OF ore does not appear to have
been altogether unreasonable: al
though 1t Is fair to presume that the
pirates of those days were no less
greedy than those who have followed
them in the smelling business.
1t followed, then. that all ore car
rying less than $40 per ton in value
was left in the mines either lin
place." or as ''stope fills" This con-
dition probably does not exist in the
Ruby Hill mines to the extent that II
does In the properties of lesser note,
for the reason that the two big smelt-
ing companies owned the Ruby Hill
mines-or vice versa. as the case may
have been. II stands TO reason, there
fore, that they mined ores OF lower
grade than the custom ores they
bought. Then In later years came
big smelling company that bought
the Ruby Hill mines and shipped
thousands of tons of low grade ore
from the old Slopes. At that IL Is
stated on dependable authority that
the mines could ship 500 tons a day
for eight years without exhausting
the ore 'in sight" in these mines.
The renaissance OF Eureka COM
menced about two years ago when
two companies. formed one on the
Atlantic, the other on the Pactfic,
cast their lots almost simultaneously
In the old camp. The Eureka-Croe-
sus OF New York selected Prospect
Mountain a. the scene of its oper-
stious and gathered together a group
Of the old producers whose fame.

Unless rates are reduced the gas

the demand this winter. l. c. Tre-
leaven. manager of the Consumers
Light. Heat & Power company, de-
cIared today.
He explained that at the present
price of so cents per thousand cubic
feet gas IS too expensive for the aver
age household 70 use for heating pur-
poses but that a reduction in rates
weuld put it within reach of all and
consequently there would not be
enough TO go round. A long continu-
ance of the coal shortage and the nee
essity of using gas for heating even
at the present price might also result
in a shortage, he added
Treieaven condemned the threw way
plan of the Kansas Natural in bitter
terms. It would raise the price for
the small consumer and lower the
price for the big user, he declared.
The result would be a serious gas
shortage, he asserted
The Kansas Natural claims it can
get plenty of gas to u.s." Treleaver
said. but we know it cannot be done
Henry l. Doherty says it can, but
he has not been in the business very

Treleaven pointed out that the gas
supply was good all last winter. and
that similar pressure might be ex-
pec1ed this winter SO long as the de-
mand is no greater than last year
Cold weather will make no difference
in the flow, he declared, and the sup

TOPEKA 20, WICHITA 0
Local Highs Win IntersectionaI Con-
test in Hard Fought Game.

Topeka high school football team
won the first intersectional contest in
Varsity field Friday afternoon by a
total score Of 90 TO 0. Neither team
was able to put over a counter in the
first period but Topeka uncorked a
smashing offense al the beginning of
the second period and rushed over two
touchdowns- Topeka's final touch
down was made in the last period
In the first period Of the game the
teams were evenly matched, marching
the ball back and forth on the field.
In this session each team marched
at least twice to the opponents ten
yard line only to lose the ball on
downs OF en- fumbles.
In the second period Topeka began
to punch the Wichita line for consis-
tent gains Bonebrake and Brewster
with tackle swings by Thomas laid the
ball in a scoring position A 5-yard
pass. Bonebrake to Stark, put the oval
over the scoring line. A few minutes
later Topeka gained possession of the
ball on her own 40-yard line and
staged march for touchdown, tearing
off the yards eight and ten at clip.
Morgan went over for the second
counter and Bonebrake kicked the
goal
Wichita threatened again in the
third period but the Barnes men were
able to hold when the crisis came and
got the ball on downs. Bonebrake
punted out of danger. Wichita dis
played an especially dangerous attack
in this quarter repeatedly gaining
many yards around Topeka ends
In the final period Bonebrake tore
around Wichita's right end for the
final counter of the game. It was a
twenty-yard run of the plunging va
riety. the Topeka captain shaking off
