ACTIVITIES INCREASING

reka-C roesus Mining Company are
pushing the work in all departments
with the utmost speed. All neces-
sary preparations are being made to
insure q large and continuous out
put from the many bodies of high
grade ore now opened up. The winze
from the 400 foot level of the Catlin
shaft. where the big strike was made,
is being enlarged and a wide track
installed to operate a large skip which
will hoist from 1000 to 1900 pounds.
A new and larger air hoist has been
bought to take the place Of the pres
ent one. Special dumping facilities
have been created at the top of the
Wine so that the ore will not be
touched after it is put in the skip at
the bottom Of the winze. This will
reduce the cost of getting the ore to
surface to the minimum.
A special crew Of experienced men
is constantly employed ia continuing
the exploration of the old workings,
and ladders are being put in place
wherever necessary. The officials as
sert that when this work is finished
they will be able to show more high
grade milling ore. as we'll as high
grade shipping ore Of the kind than
any mine in the United States.
The Eureka-C roesus Mining Com
pany has ordered the necessary lum-
Der and materials to erect houses at
the mines to accommodate a large
number of men. Construction will
begin as soon as the materials ar
rive. When finished the company
will work two. probably three shifts.
Until then additional men cannot be
employed for the reason that facili-
ties for properly taking care of them
are at present inadequate.

Huebner of the Eureka-C roesus Min
ing Company left on Wednesdays

Everybody should read the splen-
did article regarding Eureka in last
Tuesdays San Francisco Chronicle.
1t is fair, reasonable and tells the
situation just as it is to-day. While
it cannot be classed as a boom article,
it tells the world the wonderful op-
portunities Eureka offers. We are
indebted to the Chronicle and ex-
tend our sincere thanks.
Lieutenant Howard Baldwin and
Walter /. MCGOWAN of New York.
arrived IN Wednesday to inspect the
Eureka-C roesus mines. They express
themselves as being surprised at the
great quantity of ore they have een
as well as its high value. Speaking
of the recent strike of bonanza ore
that was made in the mine over 900
feet, they said: There can be no
doubt that it is the biggest and most
important silver strike that has been
made in this country for a long time
and places Eureka-C roesus at the
head of the silver mines in this, or
any other country. 1t cannot help
bringing greater prosperity to Eu-
reka."
