EUGENE DAVIS BUYS
ANOTHER EUREKA PROPERTY
Silver Lick Property ON Adams Hill,
One Time Good Producer,
Changes Hands

1t Is officially announced that Eu-
gene Davis has bought the Silver
Lick Mining property at Eureka, Ne
vada, comprising six patented and
nve unpatented claims. The silver
Lick property has had a very inter-
esung history. Up to the end of
March, 1895, It had produced some
thing over 100000 net value of ore.
notwithstanding the fact that there
was no machinery on the property
whatever. Since then It has been
owned by Harris and Fine, who have
worked the property themselves, en-
pioying no miners. The only thing
they have had approaching machin-
cry was q horse whim, and they have
made good money. this being one of
the very few properties in the dis
trict that was able to get out ore of
suficient richness to be shipped To
the smelters at profit at the time
silver was at Its lowest. There is a
very large tonnage of medium grade
ore standing In the mine and on the
dumps. The last twenty-seven tons
OF ore shipped from the mine paid a
net Of $500 above all expenses of
every kind.
1t is understood that Davis will
Immediately equip the property with
up-to-date machinery; sink a new
shaft and 60 to depth, the deepest
point In the mine now being 14O feet.
The pay streak In the bottom of the
mine Is four feet wide. and samples
taken from 1t last Sunday assayed
$3.50 to the ton. The ores of this
property are highly siliceous, and 1t
Ia understood Davis desires them to
mix with the heavy iron ores OF Eu-
reka-Croesus and Eureka-King.
The property will be operated by
the Eureka-Prince Mining Company,
Of which Mr.. Davis will retain con-
troll. It Is expected that the stock
of the new company will be listed on
the San Francisco Stock Exchange at
an early date.

SAND INDICATES OIL LATILLIPAH

George A. Foster of Ely, engineer
and field manager of the Illipah Bas-
in Oil & Gas Company, which is bor-
ing for oil In the Illipah field. In
White Pine County, has announced
that three shifts are to be put to
work at once in the drilling opera
tions. The drill Is now down over
$40 feet. with operations going along
smoothly. The White Pine News
says:
Mr.. Foster does not claim to be
able to see any deeper into the ground
than the ordinary man, but he is very
optimistic over the showing that is
being made as the drill goes down.
The drill is still in the strata of sand
and has held this sand for rs feet
with indications of oil. This Is the
first slight jolt to the theory that the
natural basin had been at one time
drained by volcanic action south of
the anticlines. The theory was that
while the surface shales held the oil,
the stratas of sand would be found
dry.
Encountering sand at a depth of
little over 100 feet is good indi
cation to the experts that the drill
has been placed at the apex of the
anticline and the indications Of oil
in the sand strata at the highest
point would indicate that the volcan-
ic action, IL there was such, had not
destroyed the oil basin.
Several eminent geologists have
failed to find the reported indications
of volcanic action.

making 1t more certain that Illipah

FORMER EUREKA
MINISTER RET|RES
Rev. 7. L. BeIIam, Is Years In
Nevada Ministry, Enters This
Labor at Eureka

After serving as pastor of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church in Sparks since it
was built by him "a years ago, Rev.
T. L. Bellam preached his farewell
sermon there last Sunday evening.
to retire from active ministerial
work.
Though not a pioneer Of Nevada,
says the Reno Gazette, having re-
sided in this State but twenty-eight
years. Rev. Mr.. Bellam Is the oldest
minister in point of service In the
State and is also the oldest active
minister, being so years old.
Rev. Mr.. Bellam first came to Me-
vada from Golden. Colo, in 1892, 60
ing to Eureka where he was rector Of
the church there for two years. He
made his trip from Golden to Eureka
by team, accompanied by his wife and
three children. While in Eureka his
wife died and he removed within two
years to the then prosperous little
railroad town of Wadsworth, where
he erected St. James church, a Union
church attended by all demonina-
tions in the town.
While at Wadsworth he started
missionary work among the Indians
at Nixon and 1t was while he was on
a trip to Nixon that his house caught
fire and one of his daughters was bad
ly burned. When the railroad divi-
sion point was moved from Wads-,
worth to Sparks, Rev. Mr.. Bellam ac-
companied the railroad men and err
ected st. Paul's Episcopal church and
started a fund for the erection of a
rectory.
Rev. Mr.. Bellam was born in Ire
land and came to the United States
when a boy. He attended Racine
college at Racine. Wisconsin, secur-
ing his B. A. degree in 1852 and his
M A. in 1865. He then attended
Nashotah Theological seminary where
he received his training for the min
istry and celebrated the fiftieth ami
versary of his ordination on June IL,
1915.
Rev. Mr.. Bellam has taken a prom
inent part in fraternal circles and is
grand chaplin of the Masonic order
in Nevada, holds Office in the Knights
of Pythias and is also prominent In
the l. o. o. F. lodge.
He has three children, T. L. Bel
lam, well known assayer Of Reno,
Miss Winifred Bellam of San Fran
cisco and Mrs. George w. Kerner of
Racine, Wisconsin
1t is said by many familiar with Mr..
Bellam's activities that he has Off
ciated at the wedding of more Nevada
people than any other minister in the
State. Sinse removing to Sparks he
has performed the wedding ceremony
for children of persons whom he uni
ted in marriage in Eureka and he can
cite many cases where he has baptized
children and later officiated at their
weddings.
Mr.. Bellam has always been an ac-
tive and deep student. forceful and
Interesting talker and his church
work has always been successful. He
has been friend and advisor to hun
dreds and his friends are scattered
widely over Nevada and the Coast.
