EUREKA IS SHORT OF FUEL

There Is a pronounced shortage Of
fuel in Eureka at this time and much
uneasiness regarding thesituation has
prevailed during the week. This con-
dition was somewhat lessened yester-
day when IL was learned that the big
coal strike In the East had been set
tied and that an increased tonnage
OF coal would soon be available
throughout the country. While In
Eureka this week Manager Sexton Of
the local railway stated that he had
been unable to secure enough coal to
assure the movement of his regular
trains, and unless the coal strike was
settled shortly he would have to cut
down the present service into Eure-
ka. He promised that II 1t was pos
sible to secure coal he would see that
the fuel situation In Eureka was re-
lieved as soon as he was able to send
up supply Of coal from Palisade.

NEW RAILWAY DEPOT 1
PLANNED FOR EUREu
Manager Sexton and Operating o.
fieias Visit Eureka 10 Arrange
for Improving Terminal Facilities
and Extending Line.

John Z. Sexton, general manager
of the Eureka-Nevada Railway, was
an arrival in Eureka by Wednesdays
train, and was accompanied by his
brother. c. B. Sexton; ]. B. Rice
railway auditor; F. A. Blank, master
mechanic; and c. T. Delaney, a co1z
tractor and builder. 7.
Manager Sexton stated that he ant.
his associates visit at this time was
for the purpose of planning and pre-
pairing number of changes and i'm
provements for the local road at EN-.
reka, but that extreme cold and
stormy weather this week had some
what disarranged their plans for
starting the new work at this time.
but 1t would be commenced just a.
soon as the weather conditions would
permit.
Mr.. Delaney. the contractor and
builder has already drawn the plans
for new combination depot building
that will be erected on the site now
occupied by the old freight depot.
which is to be torn down and scrapped
The new depot building will combint.
the freight house, passenger room
and Offices, and separate room for
the express, all under one roof. The
plans also call for second story in q
portion of the building, and this win
contain four living rooms for the use
of the local agent and his family. Mr..
Sexton said the present traffic over
the road was so heavy that the COM
pany was unable to handle 1t in Eu-l
reka with the present depot facilities,
and the new depot would be rushed
to an early completion.
When asked as to the new station
that called for an extesion Of the rail-
way to the base ball grounds at the
south end of town, Mr.. Sexton
said the railway would certainly be
extended that far. and that plans
were now under way for continuinss
the road up the canyon to where the
Eureka-Croesus Company is now COM
pleting its ore bins, and that ore
would be loaded into the cars direct
from the bins. These plans call for
the use of a Shay engine. and with
one of these powerful hill pullers a
good sized string of cars could be
handled without difficulty.
AS the weather Thursday continued
extremely cold and windy, with no
signs of improving. theparty returned
to Palisade, but plan to return and
commence the new work as soon as
possible.

vailing the first three days. with ex-
treme cold Monday night. when the
thermometer dropped to IL dsgress
below zero. Last night vas anothor

slowed up all outside operations and
no ore was delivered at the local rail-
way depot during the week, although

MAKES TWO NEW
4 STRIKES DURING WEEK

new strike has been made this
xeek on the 200 foot level In the
rnksyille drift and promises to be
ana of the best yet made Assays
from this new find run 362 ounces
sIlver. so per cent lead, with about
slx dollars per ton In gold. A drift
,s being run along this streak and
stoping will begin within few days.
Another strike b as been made
In the extreme North drift on the 400
foot level which looks very much like
a body as large a. the old Dunder-
berg Slopes. Being that this has just
been discovered 1t 10 impossible to
give any dimensions Of the ore body,
but a drift has been run into 1t fof
eight feet and q winze will be started
As soon as room can be made for the
hoist. This ore Ii the same charac-
ter as the ore In the old Dunderbers
slopes and It Is thought that 1t IL the
continuation of the ore from one OF
the slopes above.
The big raise which Ii being pushed
ahead is In very promising ore ground
and it is expected that II the old
works are not tapped within the next
forty feet that there will be an ore
body struck. for the top Of the raise
now is showing spots Of lead and iron
throughout
Work is still continued in the big
winze on the 400 foot level and the
ore body is holding the same both in
size and value, but 1t is very evident
that this winze will be stopped short
ly owing to the water that Ii making
the ore so wet that when standing In
the bins overnight 1t Ii impossible to
get 1t out, being frozen 30 hard. The
last heavy snowstorm has blocked the
road to the mine and crew will be
put on at once to open 1t in order to
