HUNT FOR A CRYING CHILD
Berry Pickers Searching for Lost
Baby" Meet BIG Panther

Cathlamet, Wash.-When a plaintiff
cry, apparently that of a child lost in
the woods, attracted the attention of
a party picking berries near the Gem
ctery, less than a mile from town, the
berry pickers at once started to the
rescue.
'rescntly the cries stopped The
party was perpleXed, but still attempt
ed to find the little one. Again the
walling was heard this time further
off, and again the search was pressed
AS the party proceeded the cries re.
&C led a fact which finally caused some
little apprehension.
The party had just halted to confer
when the origin of the wall was dis
covered. Ii lay stretched upon the
lower bOugh of pine tree a hundred
yards distant, its tail moving restlessIy
to and fro six feet of hungry panther.
not many years ago panthers were
sec" frequently in this neighborh0od
and a year ago a large one was killed
near the place where this one was
seen.
The search for the lost child was
discontinued at once and rotting Der
rles and footsteps far apart mark the
course of the party on its return to
town.

EUREKA-KING co. STARTS
WORK In TWO TUNNELS

The Prospect Mountain Tunnel is
now in shape and the work OF driy-
ing this tunnel commences this week.
Two shifts are to be employed here
and the tunnel will be put ahead l 600
feet this Winter. This will be the
most important piece of work that
has ever been done in the Prospect
Mountain limestone, this tunnel be-
ing now 1900 feet below the surface
and 24OO feet into the hill. When the
lime belt is encountered on the east
side of the mountain it will open up
an extremely large country that has
never been touched.
Work on the Eureka Tunnel has
also started and the engine room is
now complete. Work is being rushed
here to complete the necessary build
ings and the setting of the engine be-
fore the storms make it impossible
to get supplies to the mines.

DEATH OF JAMES WHITE
Highly Respected Citizen of Eureka
Lives to Ripe Old Age OF 1O2

James White, Eureka's Oldest res
ident, died here Wednesday of a
gradual decline that comes with the
inhfmities OF age. In his early res
idence here he followed teaming and
later engaged in mining. He was
very energetic and Industrious, and
as long as he was able to do active
work accepted employment. In late
years he was often observed doing
road and street work along with men
much younger In years.
He was born on the Isle of Man,
and according to his own, reckoning,
dating his birth from that Of Queen
Victoria of England, he was 102
years. 5 months and 10 days old at
the time of his death.
In his youth he followed the seas
as sailor, visiting the coast cities Of
different shores and retaining a won
derful remembrance of the voyages
and happenings of those days. He
came to Nevada in the early days Of
the mining excitement ON the Com
stock and later drifted to Eureka,
where he has since remained contin.
uously. but ever retained longing
In his heart for the land of his boy
hood home, which he had hoped to
visit again. His desire was never
realized and the Grim Reaper called
him to his final rest in the land of his
adoption and he was laid to rest here
Thursday among Eureka's pioneer
residents.

CONTINUES TO OPEN
HIGH GRADE BODIES

Supt. Julius Huebner reports that
the new winze on the 200 foot
level strikes the ore at depth of As
feet below this level and finds the
high grade larger and richer than
above. This is the fourth time this
ore has faulted in the last so fest,
and 1t seems that the values Increase
in gold with each fault. A drift has
been .put into this ore hody about six
Feet and no signs of the foot wall
show yet. This makes this body look
like II Is past the last fault and will
probably make a large body of high
grade ore. Not counting any ON the
lower grade that cannot be shipped
at a profit, ore Of this character can
be shipped profitably unless rum
ming SO high in silica that the charges
are very high.
The ore In the Jinksville is still
continuing and looks like this is now
more than a shoot, for the drift has
been extended both to the north and
south from the main crosscut for q
distance of 35 feet and ore is show
ing all the way and still continues in
the face. A raise has been started
on this ore and 1t will be stopped out
While the drifts will be continued to
open up new ground.
Work of driving ahead on the fis-
sure in the Home Ticket drift has
been commenced, and the loose wash
in the fissure shows boulders of very
high grade ore. showing that there
is ore somewhere above the place
that this flssure is cut through.
Work has been discontinued in the
big wirze ON the 400 level. This
winze will be tapped when the Catlin
shaft is put down another 400 feet.
In the extreme north of the 400
level oping is being done from
three faces of ore, all of which are
very high grade shipping ore. The
last assays from this run $S7 per ton
and up to s498, counting gold, silver
and lead.
"A small streak of ore has been
struck in the raise that is being put
up from the 400 to connect with the
bottom of the old Dunderberg work
ings. No assays have been run on
this yet, but it is of the same grade
as the ore that is being stopped on the
400 level.

INSTALLING NEW MACHINERY
Equipment for Driving Liberty Tun-
mel to Connection With Old
Workings Being Received

ID. States. superintendent Of the
Eureka Nevada Mining Company,
said to a representative OF the Sen
tinel" this week:
Everything ia moving along in
the most satisfactory manner. This
company was organized In 1917 to
take over group of claims owned
by Alfred and William Huebner. well
known mining men Of Eureka. These
claims lie between the widely known
Eureka-Croesus property on the west,
and the famous old Hamburg mine
ON the north. AsmaIl force of men
have been steadily employed driving
a tunnel and opening surface show
ings Of ore since the ground was ac-
quired. The main tunnel is now In
700 feet. Almost 600 feet of this
tunnel has been continuously in ore
Of good grade, and over 10000
worth was shipped this year from
material extracted in the course OF
development. About two months
ago, the Liberty mining claim was
purchased from c. e. Morse in or
der that a new tunnel could be driv-
en- to intercept the known ore bodies
at greater depth.
Machinery is now being installed
at the portal of the Liberty tunnel,
and will include a six drill compress
sor. This compressor will be driven
by a new type Of oil engine, that IL
said to combine extreme simplicity OF
construction with economical opera
ting costs.
1.-THE Liberty tunnel will be driven
into the hill for 1000 feet, before con-
nections are made with the old work
ings. A full equipment of cars, rails,
pipe and building material are now
ON the ground or en- route.
