~ Dis oolduLd oIEihc III the Eu-
reka-Croesus mine is attracting more
attention to Eureka than anything
that has happened here for many
years. Great daily and influential
Mining Journals are publishing ex-
tensive articles about it and predict
ing the return of great prosperity to
this district. Practically unknown
to the present and forgotten by most
of those living of the last two gene
rations. Eureka is now looming up
big in the eyes of the mining world.
Every one who has come here to ex-
anime the mine speaks in strong
terms of its value and magnitude.
All Of this means much to Eureka
and her citizens and we should rem
der every possible assistance to and
heartily cooperate with the men who
had the courage to furnish the money
to reveal to the world the riches we
have so long claimed our mountains
held. They are making our dreams
come true; they are giving US new
hope. a new lease on life, a new and
firmer grip on ourselves; they are
bringing prosperity to US. We owe
them a debt of gratitude and should
pay it with joyous hearts.
1t is interesting and inspiring to
observe the intelligence and energy
with which the work of the Eureka
Croesus staff is being directed. No
noise is being made, but from norm
ing until late at night there is a
constant pressure. driving everyone
to greater efforts al the hours pass.
Every move means something and
brings results. 1t is this determined
effort and tenacity of purpose that
is building a new Eureka.
In a conversation regarding the
strike and the plans of the Company
with President Torres he authorized
the SENTINEL to publish the follow
ing: I'VE were confident of making
a bonanza strike, but we did not ex-
pect it when we got it. We had look
ed upon the ground as barren and
did not expect anything big until we
reached that part of the property
known to have ore in it. Az it is,
we have opened a new mine of great
riches in virgin ground at a point
considerably below any previous
workings. 1t is this fact that is so
pleasing, because it adds so much I'M
expected value to the property. We
still have the great ore bearing
ground ahead of US and it is in that
ground that we expected, and with
greater confidence than ever, if that
be possible. we still expect to open
still larger. and we hope richer ore
bodies than the recent strike so far
shows. The new strike caught US
unawares and unprepared to take
care of the ore. but we are now do
ing our utmost to assemble the C
sary facilities to mine and ship this
new ore. l hope by the end of this
month to have everything ready"
Lieut.. Howard Baldwin, who has
been here for a week examining the
Eureka roesus properties. before.
leaving for New York on Thursday
dictated the following statement to
the SENTIENL:
Some time ago bought in the
open market a considerable amount
of Eureka-C roesus stock and recent
ly decided to take a look at the mine to
find out whether | had made a good.
or a bad investment. After going
through the miles upon miles of I'M
derground workings and ver the
property | was greatly surprised at
the magnitude and value of it all.
The great extent of the property and
the tremendous quantity of ore in
sight, and the high value of the ore
permit of but one conclusion. viz: it
is a truly wonderful property and is
certain to yield an enormous amount
of money. l shall largely increase
my present holdings of stock. lean
not conceive of a better mining in
vestment.
