TODD SAYS BIG
EUREKA DEAL Is ON
Reno Journal. June 81: Robert
Todd left Reno by auto expecting to
be In Eureka and have men at work
on the Eureka Prince before July 1.
AT Austin he was turned back by
wire from his New York hackers.
The work on the Eureka Prince, par
ticularly the building OF the contem-

deal that makes for the consolidation
OF several OF the mines In the neigh
borhood. The purchase of the rail-
road from Palisade to Eureka is also
involved in the matter.
Long time ago Eugene Davis took
an option on this road. Last Spring
New York representative OF a group

stand in the name OF Eugene Davis.
Inc money behind the deal Is being
furnished by men also interested In
tne Eureka-Croesus, Eureka Prince,
and other Eureka properties. II the
aeal goes through. and there is ev-
sry possibility that 1t will, then
much larger mill will be erected, one

mines, rather than a mill for each
property.
Eureka has long been handicapped

ng facilities. As the narrow gauge
'oad from Palisade to Eureka Is pri-
rate owned. being controlled by Og-
