o'clock, for the purpose OF making a
starter towards having a railroad erected
from Phoebe, connecting with the Utah
Southern or Eureka & Palisade. In vari-
Gus portions of the country mining camps,
which do not show up as well as Phoebe
and have not the extent of mining prop
erty that lies in this locality undeveloped,
have communication by rail with import
ant points whereby they are enabled to
obtain supplies Of fuel, provisions, and
every necessary, at low rates, and are in
turn enabled to ship their low grade ores
to market where a profitable return is
made on them, and our citizens think
that it is about time that an effort should
DE made to induce capitalists to construct
a railroad to Phoebe, thus making our
large and numerous bodies Of low grade
ore Merchantable and pay well for devel-
opment. They think, and with reason
too, that by proper showing to capital
lists of our immense resources in mines
and the feasibility of making them pay
remuneratively by having railroad COM
munication, that such inducements will
have tendency to persuade capitalists to
build a road to this point, which will
open out the country and bring it into
that prominence that it has never hitherto
had Let all attend this meeting as every
person desires to see our mines developed
and brought into the market A mine
opened and made to pay indirectly helps
every man, woman and child in the COM
munity, and is matter of supreme mo-
ment that communication should be had
by rail with this town, or else we are liza
BILE to lie nearly dormant for long time
to come and be working mining property
under great disadvantage.
DAY NE.-The ore-body in the Day
mine is developing magnifcently and as
good Us could be desired. This mine will
astonish the natives yet. 1t is to be
hoped that the new Board of Trustees
will do something with this valuable mill
ing property. The company is greatly in
need of reduction works OF their own,
with which the mine could be made to
pay the stockholders handsome profit
for their money invested in the stock;
but without works it will be q continual
drag, as is the case at the present time,
the company getting only small lot of ore
worked by other companies whenever it
is convenient for them to do it. The Day
Company can secure an excellent furnace
site, with bountiful supply of water at
the Fifteen-mile Wells, which is only four
miles distant from the mine. The road
is all down grade and the cost OF trans.
porting ore would be very light.
PAID HIS FINE The 5000 fine imposed
on Jim Richards, as mentioned in last
weeks issue of the RECORD, was paid by
his friends after he had been confined in
jail several days. 1t is to be hoped that
he has learned good lesson. Justice
Hoffman turned the fine over to the State
School Fund. The Justice has paid over
to the Treasury in fines since being in
Office over $500, which is more than all
the previous Justices of the Peace of
Phoebe Township combined have done
since Lincoln county has been formed.
The RoAsTEE. Raymond & Ely
rooster has been running steadily since
Tuesday and doing good work, chloride.
ing from ten to eleven tons per day. 1t
is thought that an improvement can be
made in this by raising the drop of the
cylinder few inches and then put on
more speed, so as the pulp will shower
faster and chloridize quicker. The pros
pect is that couple more roasters will
be ordered before long.
LEG BRoKEN.--James Giles, an elderly
miner employed at the Raymond & Ely
mine sustained fracture of the left leg
Wednesday, caused by jumping down
into the topein the mine, the distance
jumped being only four feet. He was
brought tothe surface and taken home,
where the doctor attended to the frac-
tured limb.
GEM PUzzLE.--Several editions of the
Fifteen Puzzle" .l4-the new and
fascinating solitaire, for whose solution
countless thousands mourn, will be for
sale at Goodman & CO.. store to-day,
where can also be found supply of base
balls, the latest periodicals and monthly
magazines.
