...siasm at Eureka-Croesus head
s..rtsrs. Very important strikes
I'VE been made during the past week,
-,,cb bid fair to cause a sensation In
80 mining world. A tremendous ore
sodv has been opened up In which
wen very high grade chimneys Of
,onsiderable size have already been
.rcountered, all OF which are going
sovn strong in virgin ground. The
~.sh oyerlying this great ore mass
.oyers high values. samples Of which
sssayed over $50.
while the strike IL of very great
,mportance In itself. the management
attaches much greater importance to
sse fact that the ore is going down,
thus giving another proof OF the cor
,setpess OF Major Catlin's contention
that larger and richer ore bodies will
n found below the old workings than
we're found in them. 1t was this be-
,ief Of his that made possible the re-
viya Of the Eureka district. Nov
hat the demonstrated fact proves the
eorrectness of his conviction, Eureka
sutsrs upon a period of prosperity
that will go far beyond the record of
its past. The eyes Of the mining
ycrld are on Eureka-Croesus, and 1t
i making good far beyond the dreams
Of our most optomistic citizens.
Owing to the extremely bad wealth
y but little ore could be brought
iovn from the mine during the week,
ut the management succeeded In
AIpping several cars.
|fUREKA-CLINIAX 81
The work of driving the Mabel L
7unnel to the Deadbroke claim has
sontinued without interruption dur
ing the week and good progress was
made. Plans for running a drift
from the Prospect Mountain Tunnel
into the Climax ground are being
carefully considered by the manage
nent. Such a drift would enter the
eompany's ground at depth of about
1909 feet and produce ideal condi-
tons for both development and min
ing. A decision will shortly be
reached.
A considerable advance in the mar
ket price of Climax stock took place
this week as result of what was
thought to be inside buying and con-
higher prices are predicted
BY those who are In position to know
what is going on.
KING
Work In both the Prospect Noun
tain and Eureka Tunnels was con-
tinued during the week without
statement. The work being done on
the King properties Is attracting wide
attention among mining men because
Of Its extent and great Importance.
Superintendent Huebner has ex-
pressed the belief that he is going to
open one of the greatest mines In
the district.
Very rich seams of ore have al
ready been found In the Eureka Tun-
mel, which will be developed as rapid
" as possible.

me Holly is now making shipments.
The Eureka-South Holly lies be-
tween the Holly and the famous old
hlcnmond and Eureka Consolidated

sork' which will be carried to depth
me nigh grade ore body in the Holly
mlne is in close proximity to its south
nme and undoubtedly extends into
ne South Holly property.
