The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1920-04-17
NEWS N 1870



The opinions of various conserva-
tive mining men that Eureka to-day
has rich mines waiting to be proved
by development work. is given strong
support by the mining news appear
ing in the Sentinel" In its issues of
September II and "a, and October l,
1870. 1t is safe to assume that the
riches Of our mines that made Eure-
ka famous the world over have not
been completely exhausted, and with
the coming of Spring the Sentinel
may be given an opportunity to pub
lish news just as important as the
items we copy from the above issues
OF the paper:
EUREKA OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
lam M. Lent has this week arrived
DR.. w. E. Bourne. to inspect the prog
ress OF the works Of the above COM
pany. He has found the Buckeye,
great as 1t was when he purchase 1t,
still showing an increasing boay OF
ore In the southeast shaft, which has
been continued down to about 20
feet, through some of the finest gray
carbonate ore ever brought to the sur-
face in any part ofthe world-an ore
that cannot possibly be surpassed. In
the Champion, a tunnel has been run
on the pper level a distance Of some
SIS feet through a similar carbonate
ore. The new furnace Is near COM
pletion and will turn out from 10 to
is tons of bullion every "a hours. In
short, no company in any part of the
world has such a mining property
so compact, and so easily worked, as
the Eureka-Consolidated has on Ruby
Hill.
ANOTHER STRIKE IN SECRET
CANYON-We have just learned from
Mr.. Corwin that Mr.. Music, of Van
derbilt, yesterday struck 1t rich" in
a location about 600 yards south OF
the Page & Corwin. The ore is heavi-
ly charged with chloride, and looks
like running high into the thousands.
MINERAL HILL-Yesterday there
was a grand reunion of heavy men"
at the Mineral Hill camp. Nevada
was ably represented by Buel M
Bateman; San Francisco sent her w.
M. Lent and w. P. Bourne; Chicago
her Ogden; and New York sent Cen
eral Dodge. Last week a little trans
action was effected, and $450,00O In
U. s. gold coin was paid for sundry
claims on the hill.
JACKSON SMELLING WORKS
The new 3O-horsepower engine or
dered by the company from San Fran
cisco has arrived and is now in place.
The new furnace is about completed.
and in a few days will be running on
Jackson ore. A new body of ore has
been struck in the mine, and the fur
mace will start on this ore, from which
probably the richest bullion in Ne
vada will be produced.
THE Ell DORADO-Work has
again commenced on this mine. 1t
will be recalled that early in the
Spring Judge Goodwin smelted some
of the Ell Dorado ore, which turned
out bullion worth about $500 per ton.
DIAMOND DISTRICT-A sale of
three fourths of the mine, at Dia-
mond, was made a few days since by
the discoveries. 1t is a very promis-
ing one, but the figures have not
t~ranspired. The stamps on the docu-
ments were very numerous and made
a complete border for the deed.
SIERRA--Work on the mill of Car
penter &. Co. is progressing, and we
noticed John A. Collier here a few
days ago on his way there. He al
ways means business, and he will sur
prise every one with the haste which
will be manifested.
NEWARK MILL-During the last
ten days there has been several heavy
shipments Of ores from Secret Can
yon and Eureka to the above mill.
Geddes & Bertrand have sent quite a
number of tons, and the Valentine
is still forwarding their choicest. We
learn the mill Is running steadily.
AURORA BOREALIS-Last Sat-
urday evening about s, and again at
10 o'clock, the most beautiful display
of Aurora Borealis or Northern
Light, transpired, such as has seldom
or never before been witnessed. The
whole northern horizon was lighted,
as though by some great confagra-
ton in that quarter, while above it
the sky was of rich roseate hue, with
long straight benms and streamers
Of bright electric light shooting up
toward the zenith. The light was
strong enough at times to cast shad-
ows of the houses or persons passing
along the street. Telegraph wires
were strongly influenced by the cleo
trical display.
