It is neither the intention, nor the
desire of the Sentinel, to indulge
in the illusions of hope regarding the
revival of Eureka, but it is endeavor
ing to publish the facts so far as
they are obtainable. It is not un
reasonable to suppose that, for busi
ness reasons, the officials of the
Eureka-Croesus Mining Company
do not tell all they know all the
time, but they have revealed enough
to more than justify the belief that
Eureka is soon to be one of the
most important mining camps in
the country.
It is officially said that the head
of, perhaps the most important min

has been here for several days and
that the company has concluded an
arrangement by which this firm is

RICH STRIKE OF COPPER
ORE AT COPPER OASIH
Pete Carletti was in Eureka sev
eral days this week from the Ferrari
ranch in Pine Valley, where he is
now located with his family. From
Mr. Carletti it is learned that Wad '
Armstrong recently struck a rich
body of copper ore at depth in the
mine at Copper Basin which he has
been developing for the past year. The
new find is said to be most promising,
with strong indications that the prop
erty will soon be able to produce a
large tonnage. Mr. Armstrong has
a crew of five men at work, and is
now bringing in a supply of pro
visions and fuel that will permit of
his continuing work throughout the
Winter.
Copper Basin is about 25 miles
southeast of Palisade and 11 miles
from our local railway.
NEW BEROLO STORE
TO OPEN MONDAY
Angelo Berolo, the South Main
street merchant, has made an up-to
date store of the brick portion of
the store property. He has just
completed the work of remodeling
the entire interior of the 25x50 foot
room, and with a new steel ceiling,
modern shelving and counters, a
city styled office in the rear, the
new store presents a most attractive
and inviting appearance.
Besides the regular lines of staple
groceries, the new store will carry
hardware, men’s clothing, hats, shoes
and a general line of gents’ furnish
ings. The market in connection
with the store will handle fresh and
cured meats, fruits, vegetables and
fresh fish in season.
A fresh stock of goods is now
being placed in the new store, which
will be opened to the public for
business next Monday morning.
Goes East to Be Married
Miss Myrtle Roe of New York
City, who spent the Summer in Eu
reka as the private secretary of En
gene Davis, left Monday on her re
turn to her home in the East. In
the performance of her duties while
here the young lady, by her gentility
and courtesy made many friends.
We have been informed that her de
parture from here was hastened by
an unexpected call to France of her
fiance, a captain in the U. S. Army,
who will soon claim her hand in mar
riatre.

problems involved in the treatment
of the ores, and to design and con
struct the mills. It is possible to
treat ores of very low grade
at a profit. This means that
the millions of tons of what has
heretofore been worthless ore will
hereafter be handled at a profit.
This means enormous riches for this
district. The proven value of Eu
reka-Croesus puts it at the head of
the great mining enterprises of the
country.
Officials of the company say that
the bonanza ore body in the 400
level of the Gatlin shaft is proving
steadily larger and richer as the ore
is being taken out. Two six-horse
teams are now being employed in
hauling this ore to the station, which
speaks more forcibly for the revival
of Eureka than all the talk that is
being indulged in.
AT THE SILVER CONNOR MINE
I -
Fred H. Dakin and H. H. Ray,
I raining engineers connected with the
Bulkeley Wells organization, are here
engaged in making a thorough samp
ling of the exposed ore bodies and
computing the tonnage in the Silver
Connor mine on the west side of
Prospect mountain.
Superintendent Bagg now has a
force of 25 men developing and pros
pecting on the 450-foot level of the
Connor. In this ground it is under
stood they have opened up several in
teresting bodies of ore, and some of
a shipping grade.
Bad Check Case at Palisade
District Attorney W. R. Reynolds
was called to Palisade Thursday to
be present at the hearing of a man
under arrest there charged with
passing an alleged bad check on
Tony Siri of that place. It appears
that Siri sold an automobile to the
party for $700, accepting a check
on an Elko bank for that amount.
When it was found the funds to
meet the check were not in the
bank, Siri got busy and had the
man arrested atDeeth, Elko County,
and had him brought back to Pali
sade.
Desirable Property to Be Sold
A brick and a frame residence
property, together with household
and personal effects of the Clay
bourne Simms estate, will be offered
for sale by the executor on the prem
ises, corner Clark and Bateman
streets, at 2 o’clock p. m., Monday,
September 15. As suitable houses
for homes are now scarce in Eureka,
the sale of this property offers a
good opportunity to purchase a small
home.

EUREKA SCHOOLS OPEWED MONDAY
Largo Attendance and Outlook Good for
Succosaful Yoar to Both High
and District Schools
The familiar sound of the Eureka
school bell last Monday morning was
most welcome to the school children
who had enjoyed a long vacation,
and to parents generally who were
glad to have their children enter
upon their school duties again. It
is always a pleasing sight to see the
children, large and small, neatly
dressed and with expectant and ani
mated faces, answering the call of
the school bell, to take up their
studies and look forward to the
pleasures that are, or should be, in
termingled with school work. The
school days should be remembered
among the happy days of life, and
things that tend toward bringing
happiness into the students life
should be furthered to the utmost.
With a complete corps of teachers
for all courses and with the schools
well equipped, it is believed the
large enrollment of students this
year can be efficiently carried
through their prescribed work. As
s school of high standing soon
comes before the public’s notice, and
as the co-operation of teachers, par
ents and the public in general is
necessary to bring it to a high de
gree of perfection, it is earnestly
hoped the people of Eureka generally
will manifest their interest in words
of encouragement and Bhow their
appreciation of the work accom
plished by visiting and inspecting the
schools. _
The Eureka County High and Dis
trict schools opened for the Fall
term last Monday with an enroll
ment of 121 students. Thirty-two
have already entered the High
school, including the new students,
with several in attendance last year
yet to come in. The attendance in
the District school is as follows:
Grammar grade 19, Intermediate
37, Primary 33.
The High School attendance is
slightly below that of last year, but
when all prospective pupils have en
tered it is believed that it will reach
more than last year’s average.
The Intermediate grade has an in
creased enrollment and additional'
seats have had to be provided.
Fourteen little tots have entered
the receiving grade, which is more
than can be comfortably accommo
dated until more facilities have been
secured.
It had been found impossible to
order the school supplies before the
reopening, but this has so far not
interfered with the work as ample
material remained from last year to
begin with.
The State Text Book Commission
made a few changes in the books re
quired for the grades. The new
adoptions have been ordered and
are expected in a few days.
Eureka County Boy Back From Service
Phil Martin, another Eureka Coun
ty boy. who has been doing police
duty in the military service since the
armistice was declared, and who re
cently returned from France where
he was sent with military prisoners
from this country, was discharged
last week from the service and re
turned to Eureka by Friday’s train.
