The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1920-01-17
IN 1920

The people Of Eureka have every
reason to rejoice over what the year
1919 brought them. They may look
forward with a feeling of implicit
confidence to even better results in
1920. The revival of serious mining
on An extensive scale in this district
is now an accomplished fact. Eu-
reka is receiving more attention by
the public press of the United States
and is being more generally talked
about and thoughtfully considered by
mining men and people accustomed
to investing in mining enterprises
than any other mining district in the
country. A year ago, we were in
the depths of despair. To-day we
are serenely floating on a wave Of
prosperity which bids fair to carry US
far beyond the heights reached at the
heyday of our glorious history and
wonderful production of silver. lead
and gold.
What Is generally termed a boom
is now inevitable for this district
Nothing can stop it. The fact that
the ores of the district continue be-
low the lowest old workings, as has
been established beyond question by
the Eureka-Croesus, together with
the high price of silver, which. &C
cording to the best authorities will
continue for a long period of years,
and in all probability, reach higher
levels, and the high and continued
advancing price Of lead, make certain
that mining can be conducted here
at large profit for generations to
come. 1t follows as does the day
the night hat capital to any required
amount will flow to the place where
the conditions render its employment
safe and unusually profitable. The
demonstrated facts have swept away
all reason for doubt and hesitancy on
the part OF capital. 1t will come to
us in abundance. Every mining
claim in the district which gives evil
dence of value is certain to be liz Dc
mand before the coming Summer is
half over at prices that we're un-
dreamed of a year ago. The reali-
zation of our long deferred hopes is
in sight.
So great is the public interest in
the district that w~ild-catting on the
part of INSCRIPTIONS promoters is
imminent. This constitutes o u
greatest danger and arrangements
should be speedily made by our citi-
zens to checkmate and overcome it at
its very inception. One fraud prac-
ticed upon the investing public will
seriously injure a hundred meritor-
ious enterprises. Therefore the peo-
pie of the community will best serve
their interest by seeing to 1t that in
no instance shah the public be swim
died by the promoters of any alleged
mining property in this district.
In a recent conversation witk the
editor of the Sentinel" Eugene Dav-
is suggested that a meeting of the
responsible citizens be called at an
early date and a permanent organi-
zation formed and suitable commit
tees appointed to look out for and
guard the interests and good name
of Eureka. He says that all meri-
torious propositions should be as
sisted and all swindles fearlessly ex-
posed, and declared 1t to be his in
leption to call such a meeting at an
early date and present his views in
concrete form. Since we owe our
new prosperity to him, 1t Is the be-
lief of the Sentinel" that any sug-
gestions he may have to make look
ing to the safe guarding and advance
ment of the best interests of the COM
munity should receive thoughtful and
serious consideration.
That we may reap the largest pos
sible measure of prosperity from the
opportunities now ours, hearty CO.
operation and team work is not only
necessary, but should be the aim and
purpose of every person in the COM
munity. Let us all pull together.
There is much to be done. 1t should
be done well and quickly.
