Strike at Secret Canyon boosts Eureka district ore hopes

Assays show 23 to 6 ounces per ton silver with bromide content. owners hold eleven claims and expect to define ore dimensions soon. The find excites miners and may revive activity in the Eureka district once busy in the early 1860s.

Oil prospects at Illipar well in White Pine County
George A. Foster of Ely announces three shifts to push drilling in Nipah Bas oil project near White Pine County. The drill has passed 240 feet through sand with indications of oil, supporting theories that the basin escaped total volcanic drainage. Oil at Moab Utah nearby strengthens optimism while geologists remain divided on ancient volcanic action. Work will continue aggressively to reach deeper depths and test the oil potential.
