FROM THE COMMISSIONER

Welcome to Eureka, Nevada!

My name is Rich McKay and I am one of the Eureka County commissioners.

My family has resided in Eureka since 1875 when the silver and lead mines were in full production and the town was booming. ere were over 10,000 residents that lived in Eureka and another 4,000 living 4 miles away in Ruby Hill. Eureka supported over 100 saloons, dozens of gambling halls, theaters, multiple newspapers, hotels, restaurants, an opera house, as well as five fire companies.

Fun Fact - My great grandfather, Alexander McKay, was a deputy sheriff and also served as a constable. In 1878, Alexander was shot in the leg by a “stray” bullet - like many mining towns it was the Wild West.

Eureka is much calmer these days, but history thrives and there is still so much to do and enjoy.

Mining has booms and busts and the population of Eureka today has closer to 1,000 permanent residents. Despite being one of the most remote towns in America, Eureka is an excellent destination for anyone interested in Nevada’s mining history and ITS WIDE OPEN SPACES. In many ways, visiting Eureka is visually like stepping back into the late 1800s. e Victorian West buildings in our historic downtown are stunning. Almost all of the downtown businesses offer a free walking tour map – stretch your legs and

get some exercise while you get a history lesson. If you have kids and they (or you) need a break, cool off at the town’s swimming pool or have a picnic lunch at the town park.

If you are a mountain bike enthusiast, check out our new biking trails and take an adventurous and scenic ride on the newly marked bike trails.

We are in the midst of another mining boom and the primary mineral being mined today in Eureka County is gold. e local mines are mostly focused on exploration and expansion.

New ore deposits continue to be discovered. Recently, work has begun on a Vanadium mine South of Eureka. Vanadium is considered a critical element for battery development and steel hardening. It will be the first vanadium mine in the United States.

Eureka has some of the best schools in the State of Nevada; we very oen achieve 5 star ratings. Farming, ranching and mining are our main industries, but Eureka’s downtown business community is vibrant and growing.

We offer eclectic restaurants and charming coffee shops. You can get a haircut at the Jackson House Salon or a tattoo at THE Eureka Tattoo shop. You can pick up a car battery and automotive items at the Eureka Supply, fill up with gas at the Chevron and grab some groceries and camping supplies on your way out of town at Raines Market. If you don’t feel like driving and want to stay the night, we have 4 hotel/motels, RV parks, and some beautiful and historic Air BNB vacation rentals.

Aer visiting our town, you may find you love Eureka and envision your future here. My family has been here for 147 years and counting. Like many rural Nevadans, Eurekans are fiercely independent and self-reliant but they will also give you the shirt off their back if you need help. I hope you enjoy your visit to our historic Eureka, Nevada.

Eureka was discovered in September of 1864 by silver prospectors, WR Tannehill, GT Tannehill, JW Smith and Moses Wilson from nearby Austin. ey were not disappointed as they found rock containing a silver-lead ore in Discover unique gifts in our local shops.

New York Canyon, near the present site of Eureka.

In 1869 Major William M. McCoy and Alonzo Monroe selected a site for a town in what was known as Horse ief Canyon. e town was surveyed on January 27, 1870.

A Post Office was established, then it was officially named “Eureka.”

In 1873, Eureka became the county seat and was carved out of Lander, Elko and White Pine Counties.

Eureka became a fast growing boomtown, coming in second only to the Comstock Lode of Virginia City. Life sprung up to support this growing community with ranchers, shops, three newspapers, doctors, lawyers, surveyors, a railroad, churches and several schools.

All working to build a life in Nevada. A large amount of growth was spurred in 1875, due to the completion of the Eureka Palisade Railroad allowing the ore and resources to be shipped out and brought in.

In the 1880s Eureka held one of the most eclectic international populations with folks coming from all over seeking their fame and fortune in the gold and silver mines of the Eureka Mining District. Most notable were the Italian, Cornish, and Chinese immigrant populations contributing tremendously to the construction, mining,wood cutting and charcoal burning needed to keep the numerous mines and smelters running.

50 mines produced gold, silver, lead and zinc for the 17 smelters that had processed up to 700 tons per day. In 1879, and in the 1880s, devastating fires and floods nearly destroyed all of the buildings in Eureka.

e immigrant pioneers rebuilt the town, better and stronger each time.

Today, Eureka is vibrant and alive with the blood of these immigrants flowing through Explore the beautiful Eureka Opera House her people. Two very prominent bloodlines in Eureka are the Italian and Basque descendants. e Italians, also known as the Carbonari, arrived in the 1870s and 1880s to chop and transport wood to fuel the charcoal ovens. e Basques were enterprising sheepherders that came in the 1890s and early 1900s.

Ranching and farming are still very much a part of Eureka’s local farm to table experience and economy with alfalfa, Timothy hay, beef, bison, pork and lamb being major agricultural exports.

From 1864 to the present day, Eureka County still has active and successful mining operations contributing to it’s vibrant economy.

FA R M TO TA B L E

Living the Great Life of Ranching in Eureka County, Nevada Written by Trina Machacek Ranching brings so much to the table in Eureka County. Literally!

Ranch families bring amazing beef, lamb, pork and even buffalo too many tables across the country through their dedication and love of the ranching life. Many of the ranches throughout the county are still owned and operated by generations of families who settled in Nevada as early as the 1860s. By the names: Damele, Etchegaray, Slagowski, Rand, Bailey, Etcheverry, Sadler, Goicoechea, McKay, Minoletti, Tomera and Sestanovich to name just a few, you can tell Eureka County was settled by people from all over the world. Today these families and others still ride the range and are stewards to the land and animals it helps to raise. Even though cattle and sheep have been a mainstay of ranching in Eureka, recently families have begun to develop other animal based businesses.

Buffalo is a growing industry in the United States and we have a family who are working hard to grow an amazing herd of farm to table buffalo meat and other products produced by the animals.

We also have a family raising pigs. ey have carved out a niche business in where they are now selling and shipping their pork nation wide. Cottage industry driven people are raising chickens, selling eggs, raising goats and making and selling goat cheese and wonderful skin soening soaps and lotions. We are an industrious group who know no boundaries.

Water was, and still is, an important part of the agriculture/ranching health. So when families settled in Eureka County, whether it was up the draws and canyons that reach up the mountain sides or out in the flats of valleys the hardy settlers always built ranches around water. As you travel throughout the county you will see that wherever there are tuffs of large trees there will probably be ranch houses.

It was the availability of free flowing water from natural springs that would oen determine where families staked out places to homestead, raise families and scratch out a living. Springs that literally bubble up from underground are life sustaining water sources that can be found throughout the high desert and each one is a stand alone ecosystem. ese springs have the clearest, cleanest, coolest best tasting water you will ever enjoy. Everything you can imagine will at one time or another find its way to the water. People, horses, cattle, sheep, lions, bobcats, deer, elk, antelope, birds, snakes, and bugs. Plants and wonderful wild rose bushes help keep the land around springs stable and also give shelter and feed to animals. All of these living things and so many more can, with patience, be found visiting a spring. We know to treat springs as you would your most valuable possession. Because they are the life’s blood of Nevada.

In the springtime when the calves are born, on warm sunny days you can see them playing in the pastures with their tails all crooked up in the air as they run and buck and start living. Lambs, depending on the herd, are also new in the spring getting tails docked and kept safe from coyotes and other predators under the watchful eyes of the herders who have come to Eureka from many corners of the world, and their all important dogs. Lambing also signals the shearing season.

In Diamond Valley the University of Nevada Reno has taken up a project to develop a hardier Merino sheep blood line that will withstand the high desert winters and produce the finest of wool that is sought aer by wool buyers all over the world. Yes, Eureka County, Nevada is diverse and is making and leaving well deserved marks far and wide.

VERSATILE!

And the rest of the year? Oh there is always something happening on a ranch. Like moving cattle, buffalo and sheep to and from rangelands. Yes ranchers still ride the range to take cattle out in the spring to graze the grass and mountain ranges of the County. e ranchers lease **BLM* ground and are in charge of seeing the waters of their ranges are in good condition for their livestock, keeping fences in good repair and that the ground is not overgrazed. Over the years and years of running livestock the ranchers have been good guardians of the lands of Nevada. At the end of summer they mount up again to bring the animals back to the ranch to pasture lazily on farm finished

FA R M TO TA B L E fields in the fall. en to be fed summer raised hay daily by ranchers when the fields are covered with snow of winter.

Brandings are always a big event and turn into a gathering that cannot be surpassed by any event you can imagine. ere is pride in ranching that can be felt in the air during a branding. Photographers have come from far and wide to capture the ranching life. Cowboys and cowgirls and townsfolk friends of the ranchers work from sun up to sundown to brand, tag and check the herds. en comes the meal!

Oh a branding is an event that culminates with a grand meal to “pay” the crew in ways that money will never come close to meeting.

One interesting fact in the ranching world is that Eureka, in some circles, is known as the home of the Curly Horse. *Curly horses can be traced back to 1898 when Peter Damele noticed three horses with tightly curled coats in the high country of central Nevada. Peter’s son, Benny, continued to breed the curly-coated horses for ranch work and many of the Bashkir Curly horses in the US today can be traced back to the Damele herd, including John Damele of Eureka County.

Used in competitive and classical dressage, hunter, jumper, Eventing, combined driving, and in the western disciplines of barrels, reining, gymkhana, and Western pleasure, these were hardy, versatile horses.*

What would ranching be without mentioning the children of the ranch families? Within our 4,180 square miles of grandness of Eureka County the pride of being a ranch kid is evident all year long. Participation in 4H programs, junior and high school rodeo, and the Eureka County Fair are just some of the many things ranch kids have at their fingertips. It’s evident that ranching will continue as many of our Eureka County ranches are owned and run buy generations of the same families. at is some of the pride and hardiness of Nevada. Oh but don’t think that it’s just the ranch kids who have the upper hand on all things outdoors. Families, whether ranch or town or farm, they all come together to be one big kid collage. With families from varied walks of life following suit, it seems we all strive to live and enjoy each and every one of the wonderful things Eureka County has to offer.

We are not nirvana, but we are dang close to it.

EUREKA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

a rich sense of tradition

I am growing where I have been planted Written by Trina Machacek

With a rich sense of tradition, we take pride in being one of the top ranked school districts in Nevada. With high student achievement and exceptional opportunities for students, our employees are committed to making a difference in children’s lives.

Eureka is located on Highway 50 in central Nevada in the county of Eureka. It provides fresh high desert air and stunning mountain views. e Eureka County School District Board, teachers, administrators and staff believe that every student can learn and achieve.

Our goals are to provide rigorous instruction, guidance, and assistance toward acquiring skills in academic, occupational, and social areas. We feel these skills are essential for choosing success and making positive contributions to society.

Yep, proud to say I was born and raised in e Biggest Little City In e World. I can still feel the cold water of the Truckee River on my bare toes as I caught guppies to take home in my soda cup aer going to the Majestic eater on Saturday aernoons when I was a kid.

In the middle of the fih grade my family moved to Ely. Oh my stars what a culture shock. It was like moving to the far reaching ends of the earth. From the big city to what my sister, brother and I thought was truly “the last place in the world.”

Eureka County High School, 1 Vandal Way, Eureka, NV 89316 But! Today when I think of how lucky I was to be moved to that last place in the world I hang my head and give thanks to God. Ely was such a grand place to grow up in my pre-teen and teens.

Eureka County Schools offer a variety of classes, extra-curricular activities, and community sponsored events for students.

Our student population is around 290 students K-12, which provides small class sizes for rich, hands-on instruction.

Just as grand as Eureka has been to live my life as an adult. Well, I admit I still have moments where I’m not completely an adult. at will happily never change. HAHA...

Eureka County School District sponsors a strong athletic program, FFA Club, Rodeo Club, and Performing Arts, to name a few.

Roots go deep. Roots are hard to pull up. Roots start growing the split second your bottom is slapped into this world. Happily my roots are in Nevada and have been since I was delivered into the open arms of this grand lady of a state in Reno.

When I married a farmer the wedding was one of the biggest that Ely had seen. e family and friends my family had along with the people from Eureka who traveled the 77 miles to Ely made for quite a celebration. en life began in earnest.

FARMING! Alfalfa farming. I would have bet my 1973 bright yellow Pinto that had created its own world during my happy teen years that I would have never settled down to become a farmer’s wife. But for the next 42 years that is exactly what I was. Oh that and as anyone who lives and works at carving out a living in rural Nevada

knows, I was a farmer’s wife and so many other things.

In Nevada we are a hardy bunch. We develop business aer business. Making a living yes.

But more so we rural Nevadans fill needs of the communities we live, work and play in. Between my husband and I we farmed, he sold and repaired firearms, I decorated cakes for birthdays and weddings and special occasions. We had a catering business, a travel agency, a gun shop, I worked for the school district for a few years as the K-12 secretary.

We built a fine building on Main Street in Eureka and opened Eureka True Value Hardware and ran it for 25 years.

But the crown in our cap, well mostly my other half, Jerry Machacek’s, cap, one that was always a red cap. at was building our building in Diamond Valley when it was minus thirty degrees the winter of 1977 and then opening it to be Machacek Iron Works. It was a one man and one woman shop. We met so many great people and developed a business that Jerry who was a self taught master welder and machinist, worked hard to provide the best repairs and fabrication for miles and miles throughout Northern and Central Nevada.

It was a great life and I still hear of some of the amazing things he did. at gives me miles of smiles.

Now? Oh my roots are deep and they reach all the way down to the underground water aquifer so they are constantly fed. How lucky can one girl be, now that I am a widow, to have fallen into a career that I have longed for over the years when “our” work always came first?

Now I get to write! Oh how I love to just write.

I am blessed to be able to write a weekly newspaper column, “Is is You?” I talk to and meet people in person and through the electronic world all over Nevada and from California eastward in over a dozen newspapers with my words.

Add to that the amazing fact that I have written and published my book, “ey Call Me Weener55 Giggle Producing Chin Wags.” And I have launched my second book, “Life Aer A DeathNavigating New Widowhood With Humor and Hope.”

YIPEE! Not too bad for a White Pine High School Graduate. Go Bobcats. And of course, Go Eureka Vandals too. It all pushes me up out of bed every day just to see what’s going to happen next.

Living in Eureka County where my friends are and life is now, fills my grand and silly self with such Nevada pride. Who knew right?

It all keeps me, as I say in my book, Happy, Happy All e Time, Trina.
