EUREKA’S HISTORY
Continued.
There is a 2 h-p thawing- ma
chine is to work number 7; 4 and
5 will be worked to some extent;
3 wiii be w rke 1 with a thawing
machine. A. v'vh Williams has a
lay on 2 below with an 18 h-p boil
er and hoisting engine. It is said
Discovery and 1 below will not be
worked this winter. Lays are let
to several parties on 1 above which
will employ about 30 men and one
or two small thaving michiues.
There are also several lays let 0:1 2
and 3 above and a good portion of
both claims will be worked this
v. inter.
1 he owners of 4 and 5 aoovc may
decide to open up this ground; 6 ab
ova is to be worked by the owners
with a 10 h p boner and steam hoist;
7 is being worked with a small tha w
ing machine; 8 has a lay 0:1 the
lower half and it wkl be thorougnly
worked prospected and worked this
winter; tlie owners of 10 and 11 ex
pect to ore:i up their claims with a
12 h-p boiler.
At the present time it seems rath
er doubtful whether time will be
any 11101 e w rk done above Discov
ery this year unless the results of
that 1 vid out already are m >re fav
orable. W.th the prosper:s ob' air
ed and the p \y loc ited so far on the
creek and the work which is expect
ed to be done this winter the indic
ations are that Kn eka wi 1 work
several hundred men before spring
and that, the out put ought to be
more than that of a -y other creek
in the previous, history of the camp,
for, while the prospers are small
the average is very -regular and
there w 1 be enough men an 1 ma
chinery 011 t ie ground to turn out
some big dumps.
There are several large creeks in
the Baker Creek watershed, s me
of which are known to be gold
bearing, b t none of them have
ever been thoroughly prospected
and comparitive'v few of them have
ever had work of any v doe done on
them. In fact, excepting Boston
and a little work on American it
might be said that no ct er creeks
ill the Biker system has been hardly
scratched and it cer.aialy is not too
much to expect that prospecting
carried on in s}7stematic manner
will show other creeks beside Eure
| ka with good pay streaks.
