EUREKA ECLIPSE
Strong Company Organized to Dcvel-
op Holdings North Of Adams Hill

The Eureka Eclipse Mines Com
pany recently organised to take over
the Eclipse group of claims lying
north OF and joiningst the Bullwhacker
Consolidated property, held their hrst
stockholders meeting this week, and
elected Julius Goldsmith, c. B. Ep-
stiue and F. H. Walker directors for
the ensuing year. The company il
Incorporated for 100000 shares,
par value 10 cents per share. with
100000 shares of treasury stock. The
property is fully paid for.
This group lies in the Pogonip
limestone, adjacent to, and in places
In contact with the quartz porphyry
intrusions of the district. The lime
stone is greatly faulted. and develop
ment work will be started by sinking
a shaft to depth of 800 feet. and ex-
ploring the faults and porphyry- lime
stone contacts. Exactly similar sur
face geological conditions are to be
found on this ground, as are present
on the surface of the Bullwhacker,
Williamsburg and Holly mines, and
there is every reason to believe that
properly directed development work
will show as valuable and extensive
ore bodies in the Eclipse holdings as
those found in the adjacent and older
mines.
Active operations will begin as soon
as the necessary equipment can reach
Eureka. Arrangements have been
completed for listing the stock ON the
San Francisco Exchaage by H. e. Ep-
stine. and all indications point to its
being an active tradilg issue.

DAVIS RETURNS

Eugene Davis returned home on
last Wednesdays train from San
Francisco, where he had been for a
week on business connected with his
many Eureka enterprises. Being at
the head and front of everything hav-
ing to do with Eureka's revival, In
formation concerning his plans is
eagerly sought. Asked for a state
ment regarding the present outlook
for Eureka he said:
II have repeatedly said, and / say
1t again with all the emphasis ! am
capable of giving, that Eureka's fu-
ture prosperity is assured. 1t will be
a wonderful prosperity. 1t will be
for greater than her phenomenal pros
perity of the past. The all important
fact that the ores of the district go to
depth has been proved. In Eureka
Croesus every one of the great many
ore bodies we have encountered are
going down. Not in a single instance
has the bottom of an ore body been
found and we have gone 800 feet be-
low our lowest level. Within a rad
ius of 100 feet we have seven high
grade ore shoots going down strong
and they are all in one great mass of
ore that will yield excellent profits
when treated locally. This is only
Croesus that / might mention.
I'VE have not been expending
money here for the last five years by
the hundreds of thousands in vain.
We had faith in Major Catlin. He
believed that richer ore bodies would
be found below the old workings than
had been found in them and we fol-
lowed his advice and have reaped the
reward that faith usually bestows
upon those who have the courage of
their convictions.
I'VE have asked no favors of the
people of this community who have
prospered and will continue to pros
per in a continuously increasing ra-
Ito as our work progresses. We re-
joice and shall continue to rejoice in
their good fortune, even though they
have contributed nothing in encour-
agement. or effort in bringing it
about. 1t is deeply to be regretted
that you have in your midst some
venomous, libelous. slanderous rep
tiles, who having no Legitimate af-
fairs of their own devote the energies
of their unbalanced and deranged
brains in efforts to tear down and
hinder those who give their time and
money and utmost endeavors to up
building the district. Satan has not
made suitable provision for the ad-
equate punishment of these wretched
vipers. 1t is unfortunate that they
must be punished by your honest,
self respecting citizens before their
pusillanimous souls depart from their
putrid bodies. The sooner this is
done the sooner will Eureka come
into its own. All other conditions
are ideal for your prosperity. Some
funerals or deportations certainly
would be helpful"

.EUREKA-NEVADA MINE
ACQU|RESMEWPROPERTY
W.. Robinson Announces That
Four Claims Have Been
Added to Company's
Holdings

A new tunnel site on the Eureka
Nevada mining property was sur
veyed this week by A. G. Burritt, con-
sulting engineer. and d. States, sup
erintendent of the mine. This new
tunnel will be driven directly into the
mineral zone, cutting the first ore
body known to exist there at a point
about a hundred feet from the mouth
of the tunnel. 1t will be continued
in this ore zone for about 400 feet,
when 1t will pick up the ore bodies
previously exposed by the old tunnel
above the new one.
This ore body continued for dis
tance OF 900 feet in the old tunnel, :"
w. J. Robinson of Salt Lake city and
president and manager of the Eure-
ka-Nevada Mining Company, said this
week. More than $4,000 was taken
out in prospecting this tunnel, the
ore being valued at an average Of
about $50 per ton. At the present
price Of metals this ore would aver
age over 500 to the ton."
While Mr.. Robinson was here this
week a deal was closed with c. E.
Morse for the Liberty patented claim,
and with Alfonso Affranchino for the
Pack Saddle. Pack Saddle Fraction,
and Pack Saddle No. /. connecting up
a continuous ore zone of about 1900
feet in extent, from the Hamburg
mine to within about 1000 feet of the
Eureka tunnel, the Eureka-Croesus
mine joining the property on the east
and north, and the Diamond adjoin-
ing 1t on the south and west. This
ore zone exetnds in a northwest di-
rection, in line with the Ruby Hill
mines.
The expense in the past for pack
ing the ore down from the old tunnel
to the road, where the new tunnel
site is located, was $3.50 a ton. This
item of expense will be eliminated
with the ores coming through the low
er tunnel. The ore bins will be erect
ed at the mouth of the new tunnel,
on the road leading to Prospect Noun
tain, where 1t is expected that the ore
can be loaded on trucks and hauled
to the railroad for shipment at cost
of approximately s1.25 ton.
improvements on the property con-
sist of an engine house and equip
ment, blacksmith shop. bunk house,
and the new compressor just in
stalled. Another shift will be added
in a few days to work in the new tun-
mel The management expects in the
near future to sink a shaft at these
workings to a depth of $50 feet,
where station will be cut and drifts
run into the main ore zone, where it
will turn south and go through stop
ing ground 1850 feet to the Hamburg
line and $3.50 feet to the north end
line on the third level.
The property owned by the COM
pany has been worked for the past
three years and is beyond the pros
pect stage. The owners are very en-
thusiastic over the merits ofthe mine,
and declare that another big shipper
will soon be added to the Eureka dis
trict.
The officers and directors of the Eu-
reka-Nevada Mining Company are:
Mr.. Robinson, Mr.. Burritt, director

Jr., vice-president and director and

OIL PRODUCT SITUATION
is BECOMING GRAVE

With distillate off the market and
an unprecedented scarcity of other
petroleum products, the oil situation
is anything but encouraging, declared
A. d. McCabe, travelling representa-
tive of the Standard Oil Company,
who was in Eureak this week on busi-
ness. The public is being urged to
restrict the consumption of oil pro-
ducts to the greatest degree possible,
in campaign which the Standard
Oil Company is conducting. 1t is
hoped that by starting such propa-
ganda early much harm that might
come to Americas Industrial inter
ests can be averted.

By George M arin

A young man who joins the army naturally feels great patriotism for his country and love for his home. The benefits he receives are many and inn portant.
 First, he has the physical training which develops the body and mind to the degree of perfection, making the body stronger and the mind more alert, and prepares hin for the duties hat each day brings.
 Next is discipline and respect for law and order. It teaches him to be prompt and keep appointments, good habits. and regular hours. They have amusements of all kinds that are .lean and wholesome which keeps the morals clean and unstrained. All these are needed to make a good busi- ness man and a better citizen.
 The educational part of the army is wonderful. One can receive almost any vocation he may wish to follow. He is furnished with the best of teachers from the grade to the high school course. He has the opportun- ity to learn any trade he may desire. He gets the practical experience and puts in use each lesson learned. and enables to fill any position that

The man who enlists in the U. S. army strengthens his vitality. he broadens his mind. and develops his character and personality. He is put up alongside" the world where he faces men squarely and on the level.
 If man is ambitious, if he wants to learn a trade which will bring him a comfortable salary when his enlist ment expires, he will enlist. For the man who does enlist is thinking of the future, not of the present. He is thinking of the time he'll again walk about In civilian clothes with his head erect, his shoulders squared and his complexion clear and healthy. Then IS the time he will go into it and sue ceed The army nsikes a man think. IL clears the cobwebs from his brain ana makes him wake up to the fact he's living.

Psychologists tell us that the great est force in the world today is habit. Those who enter the army are trained physically. mentally and morally into better habits.
 For man to be and do his best his body must be in the best of condition. Therefore, the army has a highly in- telIigent system of physical training, no one set of muscles being neglected, which finally results in a well rounded proper development of physical DOW CTS. The regularity Of army life is conducive to good health, while living in the open gives one a natural chance to develop.
 Education in the army means not only healthier bodies but healthier minds. for it is there one is taught ac- curacy, thoroughness. promptness, obedience and respect for law and or der. Army discipline has the effect of training a mans mental attitude till his actions respond, unconsciously, to the correct view of his duty.
 Military training also strengthens the moral fibre; grows courage, self reliance. honor, loyalty and love of country. It teaches men to bear. un- complainingly, their burdens; for the keynote of the army is service.
 As choice for a profession the army should rank among the first, for aside IL, the remuneration is steady and lasts through life.
 For concrete examples of the bene- fits derived from enlistment in the army, let us take our own boys, who enlisted some months ago. They have come back in fine health, and many of them who went away timidIy, have, through their experiences and associa- tions, lost most of their fear and gaineo a courage that will be perma- nent. They seem to have acquired that indescribable something called poise. That the army training builds charac- ter, then is evident. For more proof we have only to look at the faces of our great generals. The imprint of strength that comes from character is there.
 While the army disciplines and de- velops the body, the mind, and even the soul, finally and best of all, train ing in the army develops a national soul and national spirit, which amounts almost to a religion; and like a religion it works miracles.

The above cup was won by Lucia Siavens, daughter of John Slavens of If North Twelfth street. Miss Slavens is fourteen years of age, and was awarded the cup for writing the best essay in the country. In addition to tine cup she was awarded several other prizes and stands a good chance of being sent to Washington to be awarded still more.
 The esay which appears in this issue of the Republican along with the others which were awarded prizes, shows that she devoted considerable time to its preparation It is original and gives several good benefits to be derived from an enlistment in the United States army.
 Many people upon reading her essay have asked how long she spent in it's preparation. She worked over it for about two days, outlining her ideas, and then it took her about two hours to write it.
 She first gained her enthusiasm for the army from talking with a cousin who served as a Golfers correspondent overseas during the war. His tales of the heroism and sacrifices of our sol- diers in France set her to believing that the young men of the country could not receive too much military training, and these thoughts led her to investigate the matter closely

The army is a good place for young men Jas it makes them strong and healthful, as well as serving their country. One thing that makes them healthfui is that they get plent of ex- ercise and regular meals and sleep.
 There are several branches in the army and navy. A boy can choose the one he wants when he en1ists. He can learn any trade he wants in the army, such as mechanic, telegraph opera tor, wireless telegraphy, and several other occupations that io them good "a civilian fife. There are several ThuAOsed yOzng men that did not have any occupation before they joined the army that are now making good money.
 There is another thing that the army helps is that man sees several foreign countries, and travel in them. They can learn other peoples habits and learn their ways, learn their language and make friends with them.
 The boys in the army play ball. swim, wrestle, run and jump ride horseback. and any other thing they want to do or to play, when not work ing.

 In the beginning of my essay I will say that the army makes man physically and mentally fit The American when at the training camp has setting up exercises every morn ing. If the young man is a weakling the army will build him up. Certain regiments will have football and base ball teams which will furnish fun. Then the regiments have boxing. wrestling, jumping and so forth, to build up the muscles.
 If the young man wishes to have business he may join the quarter master corps. At the quartermaster department he can learn bookkeeping any other businesses. Here they also can earn extra money on wireless tel egraphy. Then in the quartermater department there are many other trades such as accountants, stenog- raphy. etc.
 If the young man wishes to go to school he may. Usually in the train ing camps the army has night schools. and sometimes in France. He may take regular schooling or foreign languages.
 If he wants to go to France and Germany he may go with the guards on the Rhine. If the American hasn't anything to do in America, the best thing to do is to join the army If the young man wishes to join the avia- tion corps he may. When he is there if he is quick at learning he will get a commission soon. He has to go through a lot of tests before he can get in the aviation. If he gets in at first he will get a lot of thrills, but he will soon get over it.

America must have some definite means of defense. We must have g to defend our country. But first we must have the men. We cannot have army without men and the men must be trained.
 There are many benefits for the men that join the army. Different men have different wishes and their wishes are all fulfilled when they join the army, adventure, travel, and edu- cation of different kinds; everything that the young man cares for
 If he has not had learning or a chance of learning a definite work that he wishes to carry on during his life. he has the chance to learn his trade when he joins the army. He has free medical attention. healthy recreation and free dental attention.
 The young man has not only these advantages I have spoken of but has what is still more important. a salary that comes in steadily each month. Dependents at home are taken care of and the soldier has the privilege of taking out a low rate life insurance policy.
 When men enter the army they soon learn to have respect for others. Not only this but they learn what home means to them. Life in the army soon stimulates an ambition to do some thing, to be of some worth.
 Not only are there benefits to the man who joins the army but to the whole nation itself. In this late war many of our men did not have the training when they arrived in France and consequently many of the men lost their lives on this account This fact has taught us that our men must be thoroughly trained in the methods of warfare.
 It was a great surprise and shock to Arperjca in this Ia eft yvnna c1ao c compelled to draft her men for war Let us all fervently hope that in the next war our nation is engaged in, that we will have no need to draft our men, that they will all volunteer will ingly to fight for the country they nua
