SILVER DECLINE.
CAUSES COMMENT

Reno Gazette March IL: A mes
sage from New York correspondent
to Frank Manson of the Western Ore
Purchasing Company here to-day,
purported to explain the sudden de-
cline in silver to $1.21, is interpreted
by Manson as having some bearing
on the McFadden bill, which, among
other things, seeks to repeal the Pitt
man repurchase act. The message
reads:
"The silver market is chaotic one.
Too cratic. Foreign exchange buy
ers have withdrawn bids. Adopted
q waiting attitude"
Manson said he could not think of
any other issue except the McFadden
bill, now before Congress, nor could
he ascribe 1t to any specific cause
aside from legislation.
Henry M. Rives, secretary of the
Nevada Mine Operators Association,
expressed the opinion that the de-
cline in shipments to the Orient might
have something to do with the drop
In the price of the white metal. Dur
ing their New Year period, the Chi
nese invariably respond to the ira
ditional custom of liquidating their
debts and silver is the principal agen-
cy used for this purpose. Silver
shipments to the Orient just before
the New Year period, therefore, are
always heavy with the inevitable de-
cline after the rush.

F. H. BIRD OF ELKO
INSPECTS PROPERTY HERE

Among the men who were In Eu-
reka this week on mining business
was F. H. Bird of Elko, vice-presi-
dent Of the Holly-Extension Mining
Company, who inspected the COM
pany's property here and declared
himself well pleased with the present
outlook.
The new gasoline hoist, with a
depth capacity of 500 feet, which has
been purchased, is expected to be on
the ground by the end of March, Mr..
Bird stated. The shaft that is being
sunk on the Bullwhacker ledge isnow
down to a depth of 25 feet, and the
vein is six feet wide already and is
highly mineralized. When the So
foot level is reached a drift will be
run to pick up the expected ore body
at that depth.
In the No. 2 shaft crosscut Is be-
ing run from the 6O-foot level, with
the expectation of picking up the
Holly vein. The crosscut is now Is
feet east of the shaft, and Mr.. Bird
said the vein should be reached by
the first of next week.
Another vein showing on the sur
face to the north of the present work.

w. 8. LARSH LOOKS OVER
MINING PROPERTIES HERE

w. s. Larsh, mine superintendent
of the Nevada Consolidated mines at
Ruth, near Ely, spent several days in
Eureka this week looking over min
ing properties in this district. He
was accompanied by L. l. Van Dalsen,
making the trip from Ely to Eureka
by automobile.
Mr.. Larsh thinks that Eureka has
wonderful possibilities as a large
camp, and that it is well favored
both as to geological and economical
conditions. Owing to the bad con-
dition of the roads in this vicinity,
and to the snow that hindered his
making a thorough inspection, he
expects to return when the district is
more accessible than 1t was on his
last trip.
The output of the Nevada Con-
solidated mines at present is 1900
tons of copper ore daily, he said. The
company has smelter in connection
with its mines. and all the production
is handled by 1t.

NEW CASES OF SICKNESS
SHOW FAVORABLE DECREASE

New cases of sickness in Eureka
the past week have almost dropped
to zero, DR.. w. II. Bremen, County
Health officer. reported to-day. Only
two cases of what appears to be in
fluenza have become known. both of
the patients being adults. The pre-
dominance of sickness among babies
has disappeared. and those that were
sick last week have either improved
or have passed beyond the critical
stage.
The most serious case of sickness
among the children was that of The
16-months old daughter of Tom fnf-
ford. who was in critical condition
from pneumonia a few days ago, but
has now passed the danger point ii d
is on the way to recovery.
John Zunino. patient with double
pneumonia at the County hospital, is
in a very critical condition now, DR..
Bremen said.

WILL SINK FOR FORMATION

The Johnson boys have reported
that they plan to start sinking a
shaft on their claims in the CEDAR as
soon as the location work is com
pleted. and that favorable looking
spot has been selected already on
which attempts will be made to pick
up the formation beneath the wash
II the formation is not reached at a
reasonable depth with the shaft, a
keystone well drill will be used to
locate the formation.
Large boulders leading them to be-
lieve that the source of the rich float
Is somewhere near have been found
and will largely be used as clue in
doing work to reach the ore bearing
rock in place. Their confidence in
the ground increases as they make a
further study of IT.

BIG MONEY MARKETS
INTERESTED IN EUREKA

Greater interest In Eureka is be-
ing shown in New York, Boston. and
Chicago-the three big money mar
kets-than in any other camp in the
country outside of the Comstock dis
trict." This was the assertion of w.
L. Fraser. mining engineer from Bos-
ton. who was in Eureka this week in
|specting the mining district for clients
in the East.
He further stated that this district
is now receiving such attention as
few camps ever receive from legiti-
mate. conservative investors. and
that 1t Is from such investors that
Eureka is to receive its greatest ben
eft. To capture the interest of the
men in the East, he said, one only
had to mention that he is going to
Eureka. They are anxious for knowl-
edge concerning this district.
Mr.. Fraser went through the Gold
field and Tonopah booms, and has
operated in Nevada for twenty years.
He visited Eureka three years ago.
His confidence in the possibilities Of
this district is based on wide knowl-
edge of the country.
When Mr.. Fraser left Boston there
was Is inches of solid ice ON the
ground. and on top of this was snow
1S inches deep, and packed hard.

lLLlPAH OIL WELL
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Ely, Nevada, March 7. Ira Mac
Farland, field superintendent of the
lllipah Basin Oil & Gas Company,
came in to-day from their camp at
Illipah, 35 miles west of Ely, after a
hard trip through the mud and al
most bottomless roads, and reports
the drill making good progress in
spite OF being handicapped by the
mud and slush in hauling their water
and wood and also with part of the
drilling force just recovering from
the fiu. The drill passed through
the formation Of hard limestone at a
depth of $50 feet and is now in a
sort OF limey shale with a very pro-
nounced showing of oil.
Several small pockets of oil have
already been encountered at various
depths. The balings from the hole
contain so much oil and gas that they
burn readily. AS an experiment
they were tried In the fire box, but
while they made an excellent fire
were found not practicable for fuel
on account of running together and
making huge clinkers.
Mr.. Mac Farland feels confident
they will encounter a small oil pool
at about 500 feet and strike the big
pool between 1200 and 1890 feet.
and says he would not be surprised
II they struck 1t at a much lesser
depth. He states the surface for
nation and the formations so far en-
countered are ideal for an OIL gusher.

Al them running north and south, and
the other running almost at right
angles. II Is thought that when this

Dunderberg workings.
Pushing the work as rapidly as
possible toward the old Atlas shaft.
another cross fissure has been dis
covered that was not located by the
miners working there in the early
DAYS. This fissure has cut off the ore
from the workings above. and has
aid IL to the west, and while drifting
on this fissure the ore was found
again, and appears to be going down
on the same course as II did above.
Al present IL Is not as large as some
Of the old bodies discovered, but it
continues TO widen as 1t is opened up.
The grading for the new machin-
cry Is now completed, and as soon as
the lumber is received the building
will be put up and the machinery
which is now on the ground will be
put In running order.

The work Of putting down ladders

While pushing the drift ahead at

HEY, SKINNAYl CHARLIE
CHAPLIN'S In TOWN"

Tomorrow night is going to be
"the night for youngsters of Eu-
reka, and for the older fun-lovers as
well. All because Charlie Chaplin is
coming to the Eureka Theatre for
the first time. This famous screen
comedian now almost a National
institution-will make his premier
ride into town in a vehicle dubbed,
THE Love Fiend." 1t will have, no
doubt. the usual ingredients used by
Chaplin for prying laughs from his
spectators, including such well known
dramatis persona as pies. police
mems billies, wives, and dough.
Whether or not Charlie Is really q
great actor has been the subject for
discussion among high-brow critics
for some time But to the majority
of show-goers no such discussion Is
necessary. They go, they see. and
they are conquered. And after all,
Chaplin's abilities as a blues-chaser
are of much more Importance to his
admiring public than are his abilities
as an artist. Now that he is TO be
in Eureka every other Sunday, he
will acquire a battalion of new en-
thusiasts.
