Eureka Tractor To Haul Sprucemont Ore
Russell and Mindeth have a contract to haul ore from Sprucemont in Kika County to Tolar station on the Western Pacific railway, a 26 mile haul. They will use their Lombard tractor and move about July 15. Monarch mine, one of the oldest Spruce Mountain properties, was idle for years until Wells Nevada and eastern investors acquired it about 18 months ago. With capital behind them they installed modern machinery and a long working tunnel to tap deeper ore bodies, yielding profits beyond expectations.
