TO RESUME OPERATIONS.

The Salt Lake Herald of January 22nd
contains an article about the resumption of
work on some of the properties of the
Phoebe Con. M. 4 r, Co. which indicates
better times for our town in the near future.
The Herald says that some time ago Sam
7. Godhe one of the heavy stockholders of
the company, came up from southeastern
Nevada, and, after a consultation with the
Salt Lake stockholders, went on to New
York, where he met John C. ClaAin, who is
\ majority stakeholder, and as result of
the consultation with Mr.. Clahin, Mr..
Godbe has just returned to this city, armed
with release from Mr.. Clahin, which for
the space of two Yeas gives the minority
stockholders full control of the properties
of the company and likewise gives them any
profits that may be made through the opera.
ton or leasing of the mines. The one
proviso was that the Utah people should
assess themselves in an amount sufficient to
raise the amount Of money necessary to pay
all delinquent taxes and continue to keep
the company free from the clutches of the
state or county. At the meeting held yes
terday Mr. Godbe presented this agreement
and the provisions were accepted by the
local people. Within comparatively short
time the company will be free from debt and
in position to resume operations. 1t is
highly probable that some Of the buildings
will be converted into the cyanide plant for
the treatment of the ore from the Half
Moon. The resumption of operations among
the mines of the old Phoebe Consolidated
will be received with delight by the people
of the district.
