EUREKA MINING NEWS

Ore showings continue in the mine
in the same satisfactory condition as
they have for some time past. The
Shale raise is drifting on ore towards
the old Dunderberg workings. Wine

and in winze No. s the contact of the
.shale and limestone is pitching fat
ter. which Is almost a certain fndica-
tion of ore ahead.
Raise No. 2. which was recently
started above Fats Place." where
a good tonnage Of very high grade
ore was extracted last Winter, has
found ore Of similar character and
value. This raise is being driven
near the main north-south fissure, at
a point where there Is a cross frac-
ture, and the ore disclosed is on the
foot wall Of the fissure. The trend
of the body is towards the hanging
wall, where all of the larger ore bod
les are found. Development here
has not proceeded far enough to jus
tify stating that an unusual amount
Of ore is in sight. but prospects are
very promising. Three strong cross
assures that lie within 100 feet Of
the raise assure a very profitable
block Of ground II the present ore
showings persist.
For-the last ten days the teams of
the company have been busy hauling
Winter supplies Of coal and hay from
the railway station, ard no ship
ments OF ore have been made. Load
ing Of cars for the smelter started
again yesterday, and will be steadily
continued unless heavier snowfalls
delay the work. The bins at the
mine are full OF high grade, and an
equal amount Of broken ore Is IN
derground, which will be hoisted and
dumped In the bins as they are emp
tied.
EUREKA-UNCLE SAM CONS.
Superintendent d. States informs
the Sentinel that q contract was let
this week for driving an additional
100 feet In the main tunnel OF the
Eureka-Uncle Sam Consolidated Min
Ing Company's property on Prospect
mountain Work on this tunnel has
now been In progress since last May
and the face has now reached the ex-
treme north ore zone of the HAM
burg mine. A decided change has
taken place nj this point. and a wash
was encountered that In nearly all |
cases indicates that ore deposits are
near. In the last ten feet two ore
stringers were cut. and these pitch |
toward the wash. These stringers
will be followed up soon after the
first of the year. and 1t is believed |
they will lead into a large body OF
ore.
The tunnel Is now about $50 feet |
from the Hamburg line and has just
entered the zone that produced so
many millions for the Hamburg peo-
pie. This zone extends along the en-
tire width of the Uncle Sam prop |
erty. and was stopped up to this line
by the Hamburg people. Local |
stockholders are becoming much en-
thused as the work progresses.
EUREKA-HOLLY
The main shaft OF the Holly mine
has now reached a depth of 600 feet.
and a station Is being cut out at
that level. AS soon as this station
is completed the work of sinking the
shaft viii be continued. Some wa
ter was encountered this week in
nearing the 900 foot level, but Su-
perintendent Brooks states this was
found to be only pocket of surface
water and not a regular flow. The
work on the company's new mill is

you? Do give us song. I'd love to

she has to repeat the horror.
