EUREKA.HOLLYTON
WILL Be INCREASED
Crude Oil Engines Expected ID
Save Fuel--High Grade Ore
Taken Out During Week

A quantity of high grade ore was
taken out of the Eureka-Holly mine
the past week, according to l.. w.
Hope, superintendent, and the work
OF installing the two new 75-horse-
power semi-Deisel crude oil engines
advanced rapidly. When the new
machinery is completed the manage
ment will be able to mine a large
tonnage of ore compared to t h e
amount obtainable while the old
machinery was in use.
The company expects to derive
great advantage from the use of crude
oil as fuel for their engines. Distil-
late is becoming very difficult to Sc
cure on the market, it is declared,
and the future supply is not certain.
1t is estimated that $4,000 or $4,000
will be saved annually by using crude
oil instead of coal or other fuel. The
new engines are the latest models,
and so far as is known are the first
of their kind to be installed here.
Officials announced last week that
since the property was purchased by
the present company, 5000 feet OF
underground development work has
been done, consisting principally OF
erosscuts and drifts and they esti-
mate that ore of value of $1,000
900 has been blocked out for mining
In what is known as the West stope
on the 400 level there is vein of ore
IL feet wide, with value of s10O
per ton. 1t is planned to pick this
vein up on the 500 level in the neal
future. Present prospects indicate
that the ore grows richer at depth.
When the new hoist, which will
permit sinking to a depth of 1000
feet, is supplied with power, the
present shaft will be sunk to depth
of 700 feet. From the 500 and zoe
levels crosscuts will be run. On the
400 level crosscuts were rN about
every SO feet to keep trace of the
ore bodies. This is good policy be-
cause of the difficulty in following
the ore zone, which dips, curves, and
| deyiates from its course in various
ways.
Upon inspection the workings Of
the mine prove to be in good condi
| tion, and no difficulty should be met
with in handling the increased ton.
mage hoped for. All the timberine
is in good condition, and facilitie;
for transporting the ore underground
| are in place.

INFLUENZA CASES In
EUREKA SHOW DECLINE

Only one new case of influenza in
Eureka the past week has been re-
ported by DR.. w. ii. Bremen, Coun-
ty Health Officer. as existing among
the adults of the town. A peculiar
thing is that during the week four
babies have taken sick, ranging be-
tween the ages of one to three years.
None of the children is considered as
being seriously i'll.
The youngsters are affected with
severe bronchitis, accompanied by
high fever. DIR. Bremen said. He
declared there was no cause for alarm
or excitement resulting from the pro-
dominance of the sickness among
children, and that 1t is very light
attack which is hardly to be consid-
cred as real influenza.
DR.. Bremen was In Palisade last
Tuesday and found a few persons
with influenza there. although there
were no serious cases.

local observer for the United States
Weather Bureau. and makes daily
reports to the Reno headquarters
concerning the maximum and mini
mum temperatures. rainfall, snow
fall, and other various details char
acteristic of the Eureka weather.
Rain and snow gauges, as well as
thermometers, have been put in place
at the Eureka-Holly mine. and Mr..
Hope has already taken up his duties
OF keeping figures on capricious

EUREKA NEWS In 1870

The first issue of the Sentinel"
was published on Saturday, July 16,
1870. At that time Eureka was in
Lander County, and the town was
settled only eight months before, but
already had a population of 1000
persons. In the first copy Of the
paper, Eureka is described as the
center of an extensive mining sec
ton, and was producing more bull
lion than any place in the United
States.
Below we give few items appear
ing in the maiden issue of our paper:
Wanted--One hundred houses have
been rented in this place within the
last week. at prices that would have
been enormous in any other place.
The great want OF our population is
houses. The hotels are all full
lodging houses engaged for weeks
ahead--corrals spread with blankets
stores and saloons and workshops
are used for lodging places. and the
number of arrivals daily increasing.
We want houses to cover the heads
of the people already here and those
arriving.
Telegraph-We have the promise
that Eureka shall be in communica-
ton with the outside world by the
18th of August.
Adobes and Bricks-James Nor
gan and M. Dwyer have commenced
making adobes. at the south end of
the Mccoy survey. and next week will
be ready to sell any quantities that
may be required.
Bullion - Forty-five tons Of bull
lion, average value of 5000, was re-
ceived at Palisade In four days, from
Eureka, for shipment to New Jersey.
Licenses-There were nearly 5000
collected for licenses in the month Of
June in Eureka for County licenses.
We have not the affliction of a city
government or the amount would
have been largely increased.
France and Prussia at War-Our
latest dispatches show that on yes
terday at p. m. the Corps Legislatif
of France declared war against Prus-
sia. Great excitement prevails all
over the continent. Holland win re-
main neutral.
President Grant has called an ex-
ira session of Congress. to provide
means for increasing our commercial
marine, and provide for carrying our
mails to Europe 80
Salutatory-In presenting the first
number of the Sentinel" we have
no promises to make, further than
we shall endeavor to publish a good
local newspaper, advocating the in
terests of Eureka, and giving a full,
correct and complete record of all
matters of local interest.
The mines of this and adjoining
districts will be spoken of as we find
them, and facts and figures given,
leaving to others to theorize.
Politically, the Sentinel" will be
entirely independent.
With a desire to make our sheet
useful to the people who support it,
and a credit to the district, without
great expectations, we unfurl our
sail, prepared for such a voyage as
may be our lot.

MCFARLAND In CHARGE
OF DRILLING OPERATIONS

Ira MacFarland arrived in Ely Sun
oay to take charge of the drilling op-
erations of the Illipah Basin Oil &
uas Company. For twenty-five years
Mr.. Mcfarland was in charge of the
drilling department of the Ingersoll-
Rand company Of New York City
concern doing business all over the
world. While in the employ of this
company Mr.. MacFarland's duties
often called for general supervision
over 800 drillers. The Iilipah COM
pany is certainly very fortunate in
securing the services of a man of SO
wide experience as Mr.. MacFarland'

EXTENSION OF

The active prospecting that is go
ing on in the Eureka district is con-
stantly adding to the former. we'll
known areas new and hitherto un-
recorded occurrences of porphyritiC
intrusione. All theories of ore de
position in the Eureka district are
based on the association of one or
more of the eruptions of porphyry
with accompanying solfataric action.
Rhyolite intrusions are frequent and
extensive in the Ruby Hill and south
ern portion of the camp, while a
quartz porphyry is found in connec-
tion with the ores of Adams Hill, and
the Holly, Bull Whacker, Silver Lick
and other mines on the northern end
of the district
The conclusion reached by many
biologists after an examination oi
the northern portion, favoring the
theory that the surface exposures OF
the quartz pOrphyry were but small
upshoots from a large body of this
material underlying the various lime
stones in that vicinity, has been par
TALLY proven this week, when loca-
ton work on the Ruby group has
demonstrated that the same porphyry
intrudes the limestone at a point
about two miles west of the Holly
mine.
Numerous occurrences of this por-
phyry are to be noted in proposed
holes in the immediate vicinity OF
Adams Hill, and the finding of it al
a considerably greater distance from
this point are of great economic val.
ue to the district. The work now 60
ing on in camp is constantly enlarg
ing the probable mineral bearing lin.
its, proving that many portions a.
yet untouched. are possibly the one.
that will later on produce ores Of
great value.

GARAGE Is EQUIPPED
WITH NEW MACHINERY

A new engine and air compressor
and a Wayne gauge gasoline pump
have recently been installed at the
Kelley & Rebaleati garage and re-
pair shop. The engine is located in
the rear of the shop, and the receiv-
ers OF the compressor are outside and
back of the building. They were
placed outside as safety measure
as receivers are liable to explode un-
der high air pressure.
The owners announced that in the
near future lathes, drills. and other
machinery necessary for doing re-
nair work. will be installed in the
repair shop to handle their trade nex'
Summer.

COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS
Business Transacted By the Board
at Its Regular Monthly
Meeting

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Board OF County Commissioners
was held March 5, with Commits
sioners r. j. Reid. 4. c. johnson and
F. A. Fulkerson, the Clerk and Dis
trict Attorney present The follow
ing business was transacted:
The Board and the Auditor counted
the money In the Treasurer's hands
and reported that the same. together
with the money on deposit In the
First National Bank of Elko. agreed
with the Auditors balance.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were approved as read.
A bill covering the use of the
courthouse at Palisade by the school
there was not approved, 1t being the
opinion of the Commissioners that 1t
was the duty of the Board Of Trus-
tees of the Palisade school to pay the
rent, and not the County's. The
Clerk of the Board was instructed to
write the Board of Trustees to that
effect. The courthouse there is be-
ing used as school building since
the one burned over a year ago. The
new school structure is not completed
yet.
The State Sheep Commission, in a
communication to the Board, advised
that the tax rate on sheep for the
next fiscal year is to be two mills on
the dollar. Last year this was made
three mills on the dollar. Likewise
the State Stock Commission advised
that the tax on stock would be three
mills on the dollar.
The State Highway Department
wrote the Board, asking IL 1t would
like to exchange the first truck ac-
quired by the county for another.
The Board decided that 1t did not
care to make an exchange, but that
il the Department wished to take
charge of the truck without any ex-
pense to the county whatever. such
would be satisfactory. The Clerk of
the Board was requested to advise
the Department accordingly.
Herbert Burdick consulted the
Board with reference to the obtain
ing of license for operating a gam
ing house in Eureka. At their dis
cretion the County Commissioners in
Nevada can license. regulate or pro-
bibit certain games in unincorporated
towns. The State statutes declare
that the only games that can be Ii
censed by law are stud poker, draw
poker, solo, five hundred, and whist.
The applicant was requested to obtain
the necessary signatures to the re-
quired petition, the law demanding
that it be signed by a majority of
the voters of this township. 1t will
be taken up at the next meeting The
| Board agreed that any license fees
realized from this source should be
used to pay for the services of a
night watchman, or some officer to
keep on duty at night, as the inter-
ests of Eureka will no doubt require
such an officer in the near future,
owing to the expected increase in
population.
Following the regular morning
meeting, the Board met in the after
| noon to arrange the budget for the
coming fiscal year. This will be pub
lished after 1t is completed and ap-
proved by the State Tax Commission
A list of the County bills allowed
by the Board will be published next
week.
