the Development Company, Ar
rived I'm Eureka Monday

l.. T. Herchmer, the newly appoint
ed superintendent OF the Ruby Hill
Development Company, arrived in Eu-
reka on Mondays train from the

led by his wife, and they are occupy
ing the superintendent residence on
Ruby Hill. II. p. Henderson of New

pany, was also in the party.
Mr.. Herchmer stated that work
will proceed at once to prepare the
surface plant and mine workings for
steady operation and development. A
number of men are now employed at
the mine and more will be added as
fast as they can be accommodated.
The rails and ties will be delivered
in Eureka this week, and as there is
only 5000 feet of track to be replaced
between the mines and Eureka, this
important part of the rehabilitation
plans will soon be accomplished. With
the spur to the mines completed. coal
and other supplies can be quickly de-
livered to the mine yards, and it will
then be but few days until work is
resumed in its old time manner.
1t was a great source of satisfac-
ton to the citizens of Eureka to see
yesterday the commencement of work
ON the Ruby Hill spur. A crew of
men on a string of fiat cars began the
re-ballasting OF the grade from the
depot to the mines, and in few days
the roadbed will be ready for traffic
to the present end of the spur.

And they gave me medal or two;
In the fight l feared nothing-and

Oh. what ages and ages it seems
Since left you! Perhaps it's absurd,

That I've been the Man of Your
