Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-06-04
DULL TINES AT PIOCHE.

The Chronicle is in daily receipt Of
letters from Phoebe aud vicinity. written
by men who have been induced to seek
that place through the brilliant pictures
aud fiattering inducements held out by
tAe Phoebe RECORD. We have before us
a long communication, setting forth that
chances for remunerative labor in the
eastern part of Nevada are exceedingly
scarce. The lawsuits in which the only
paying mines about Phoebe are involved
have thrown hundreds OF men out of EN-
ployment, and caused a consequent de-
preston of business. Since the first of
February, over 2, 900 miners have left the
mines about Phoebe, while not TO exceed
400 have arrived in that locality. The
town is reported full of idle men, who
pass their time in efforts to procure en-
ployment and in denouncing the authors
Of the false statements that induced them
tn 90 thither. We give these facts pub
heity in order that people who are about
starting 10 Phoebe in search OF work may
know what they may expect.
The above We clip from the leading
editorial column Of the San Francisco
Chronicle. II the editor of the Chroni-
sic do=s not read the RECORD, h is I'M
principled to base editorials concerning
its course on statements furnished 1t by
irresponsible and anonymous scribblers,
who take this method to vent their spite
against an entire community, and this
journal in particular - engendered,
probably, by personal disappointments
which cannot be referred to and have no
connection with the productiveness of
oar mines or the condition of the indus
trial Interests Of Southeastern Nevada.
And if the editor OF the Chronicle has
been a constant reader Of the RECORD,
;nen, in deliberately psnning the above
he deliberately gave publicity to what
he knew to be wllltul falsehoods. 1t is
only another proof of the many evidences
We have lately had that the Chronicle is
subsidized by the money-holders of San
Francisco, to subserye, by any means,
fair or foul, their interests against the
holders Of stocks in the mines of this |
d3strict-that it is, body and soul, sold to
and controlled by the bears in their war
with the bulls. Never did a local news
paper more fairly AMI truthfully repre-
sent local interests than has the Phoebe |
RECORD. For the last three months we
have never failed, when referring to the /
supply OF labor i'll this district, to state
that it WIS fully mp to or exceeded the .
demand; in that quarter Of year
We have never published a single line in
tended or reasonably tending to influence
a rush Of miners hitler; and, as regards 7.
the existing depression in general bust
ness, instead of denying or attempting to
disguise such state of affairs, we have
made it Il matter of common record and
comment We have chroncled some i'm
portant developments III some of our
mines, at different times in the last month, |
but in doing so have never exaggerated
or over-estimated their extent and rich |
ness. And now, We again say to the pub |
lie, that there are to-day richer and more
extensive bodies of ore exposed in the |
Phoebe mines than were ever before de- |
veloped, and that the only reason that
there are not more men engaged i'll them
than ever before is because that branch of
stock gamblers in San Francisco known
as the bears, of whom the Chronicle is a
paid fugleman, are using all their influ-
ence and money power to discredit our
prospects with the view of getting control
Of our mines
