THE NEW MANAGEMENT.

Having gained control OF the
RECORD and our time being fully oc-
cupied on the DeLamar LODE, have
placed the local management in the
hands of my father, Mr.. James Pet
tee. who has had some experience in
the newspaper business and will put
in his W ole time in giving the read
ers of the RECORD good, interesting
newspaper.
The RECORD Office is the best
equipped printing Office in Nevada
and can turn out any kind of print
ing that any city Office can, and at
just AS cheap rates.
We shall endeavor to merit the
patronage of all and ask for the same
liberal patronage that the REooRp
has always received.
The prospects Of Phoebe and Lin
coln County for the future are much
brighter than they have been for
some years past. and the natural re.
sources of Phoebe and the county
will be fully shown up in the REcoRp,
so that when our railroad comes. can.
iial will be ready to step in and as
sist in the future.

UTAH & PACIFIC.
A Roundhouse Is Soon to Be Erected.

Milford, Utah, Dec. 27.-The track
layers of the Utah & Pacific are now
twenty-seven miles from Milford.
There is some surfacing to be
done before going on to the old ar
tesian well, where the company is
preparing for roundhouse and a
water tank. The material for these
are partly ready to put together in
the yard at MILFORD and will be NOV
ed down as soon as the we'll is clean
ed out sufficiently to farnish water
for their needs. This station will be
about four miles east from Sulphur
station.
Chief Engineer West is now at the
front inspecting the work. The COM
pany had expected to be stopped by
the weather before this, but now
that the work is so far along, they
apprehend no furthnr trouble from
this source, and will continue to
push things as rapidly as possible.
New engines, freight and passenger
cars are making their appearance at
Milford, so that the company will
be ready for business on schedule
time, as soon as the station is estab-
lished out from Milford.
The stage company operated by
Senator j. A. Denton of Nevads has
made all necessary arrangements to
meet this change. This will shorten
the distance about one-half, and
make the trip there very much easier
as it can be made in daylight, in
stead of the present all night ride.
