The Record of n Week As Recorded
I'm the "Record" OF Last satur-
day.
There is quite a rush to Iron City, Utah,
and the whole city has been located. All
the iron mines, and all the old mines OF
any promise during the last six years, have
been relocated several times, and as many
different parties claiming to be the owners
OF them, SO If the iron and silver mines in
those quarters prove Of any value, it will
take years of litigation to settle the titles.
The old district record books are missing,
and Notwithstanding diligent search has
been made for them, the books have never
been found. Those books are in Phoebe,
and will be brought to light at the proper
time.
When it is taken into consideration that
there is not a mining company In opera
ton in Phoebe, and there has been $50, 900
worth OF bullion extracted from the chlor-
iders ore taken from our mines in town in
less than two months, the old camp is do
ing pretty well after all. and producing
her portion of the precious metal. Phoebe
is a right lively corpse, and il our mines
ever get to going under full headway, we
may have lively times and lots OF funerals.
Colonel Bradfute, Agent OF the Maopa
Reservation, is now engaged in taking the
census Of the Indians throughout this
county. The Colonel has q wide scope Of
country to travel over. He informs us
that the correct name of the tribe in this
vicinity is Pah-Ute, and their language is
similar to the Piutes, the difference being
that the Pluto language contains more
words than that Of the Pah-Ute. There
are a few Shoshones scattered throughout
Lincoln county.
The Day Silver Mining Company has
now full management and control Of the
Mendha and Hillside mines and the Hill
side furnace. Mr.. Gould is pushing things
and proposes to make the new outfit q sue
cess. There are some outsiCe claims which
Mr.. Grim and Mr.. Gould intend to take
hold of and develop. These gentlemen
believe there is "big money" in this Sec
ton Of the State, and they are resolved to
try the question Of hard work and some
capital.
A party who passed through Silver Park
the other day reports Felix Knight as ex-
tracing very rich ore from his mines
there. Knight has lived alone in Silver
Park District for the past five years work
ing his claims, occasionally sending his
richest ore to the reduction works for the
purpose Of getting a grub stake. He has
had several offers made him for his claims,
but refuses to sell.
Golden Basin is the name Of q compare
lively new mining district in Arizona, To-
Gated about fifty miles due east of Ell Do
RADIO canyon, which is Of great promise,
and will at an early day attract considera-
BILE attention from the mining world. The
lodges are principally gold, containing lit
tie or no silver whatever, and varying in
width from two inches to four feet, the as
says varying from $40 to $50 in gold.
Mr.. To%wnshend, Manager of the Eureka
and Phoebe stage line, has been in town
several days looking after the interests Of
the line and making the necessary changes
that the cutting down to a tri-weekly has
occasioned.
Dick Welsh has been appointed foreman
Of the furnace ct the Bristol and will take
charge Of the same when it is ready to start
on Day ore.
Ppaca now presents a very pretty spec
tacle. The fruit trees are in bloom and
fill the desert air with their fragrance.
