EUREkA-CROESUS


visit to California, last Wednesday,
has been examining the Davis prop
critics, and said for publication:
The Croesus is sinking a winze
from the 400 foot level between sew
eral streaks of high grade ore, which
are going down in a mass of lower but
unusually good value ore. These
streaEs can all be readily reached
from this central winze.
Shipments from these high grade
ore seams are running high in gold.
The last car from here, as per smell
ter returns, has gold value of 2.67
ounces or S53 per ton, besides the
usual silver and lead. From these
streaks of ore very high assays are to
be had.
THE character of this ore and the
accompanying lower grade ore in
which 1t is going down, and which
now covers a very considerable terri
tory, promises the most important
development in this part of the mine.
ECREKA-KING
THE Prospect Mountain Tunnel of
the Eureka-King Company, now in
200 feet, is approaching ore ground,
having passed through the shale and
into slightly mineralized lime. Ev-
erything here is being pushed as rap
idly as possible and within a COM
paratively short time it should be in
ore.
Work on the Eureka Tunnel Is
also being prosecuted, the results of
which work WIN soon be apparent.
Within very short time ore will be
lifted from ore exposures already
found on this property
SECRET CANYON
Good weather is having it's effect
on prospecting in the southern end of
the district, especially in Secret Can
yon, where the disappearance of the
heavy Winter SHOWS has given claim
owners chance to develop their
ground.
Dan Kelly reports that good show
ings of ore continue in his workings,
and this week A. b. Shobar, T, b,
brought in to Eureka for assay some
Shea, and James Charlotte have
fine looking samples from their group
of claims between the Santa Maria
and Mineral Bluff patented surveys,
Sand earbonates of good grade, some
of which resemble the rich sands of
the Windfall mine, are abundant, and
silicious gangue from the hard por
tion of the vein, in which specks of
ruby silver and silver chlorides are
visible, appears to be very rich, The
ore is found along strong fault, and
$50 foot tunnel and 60 foot shaft
hn do &c
claims.
UNCLE SAM CONS. MINING co,
The Eureka Uncle Sam Cons, Min
ing Co. began operations the first OF
the week. Development will consist of
extending the tunnel to the ore zone,
distance of about $50 feet, and
drifting on the same to the Hamburg
line, at which point a depth of over
400 foot backs will be attained,
All the necessary equipment has
been purchased locally and it is the
intention of the management, just as
soon as some necessary preliminary
work is done, to employ as many min
ers as possible in order to speed up
development,
The company is strongly financed
by San Francisco mining men. F. T.
Torpey is general manager of the
property and will remain in Eureka
permanently,
HOLLY-EXTENSION
The hoist for the Holly Extension
has been delivered on the property.
and superintendent 0Conner will
have it ready for work in few days.
1t will be placed at the shaft north
of the Holly shaft, This has already
been sunk to a depth of 20 feet by
bers now on the way arrive in Eu-
reka promptly, will be at the zoo
foot level in six weeks.
EUREKA-HOLLY
Non-arrival of fuel oil is holding
up the operation of the large hoist
and shaft sinking. Development
work continues with good ore show
ings, and part of the lumber for new
buildings has been received, 1t will
not be long until there are accom-
nodations at the mine for all the
men now employed by the company.
BULLWHACKER
Ladders are being placed this week
in the Bullwhacker shaft, so that
the old workings can be entered safe
ly. Former stope filings contain much
ore that is now of value, but was used
FOR fills when silver was around so
cents. Surface work on the prop
srty, and reconstruction of the Will
