FROM MINING REVIEW.

In the illustrated write-up of
Pioche, Nevada, in our issue of
the 18th, in making mention of
the leading business men of this
popular and progressive camp.
we failed unintentionally, to re-
fer to A, S. Thompson & Co.
and Henry Lee. A. S. Thomp-
son & Co., conduct one of the
largest general merchandise
establishments in southern Ne.
vada, and the firm is enter
prising and up-to-date. Mr.. Lee
conducts the. leading meat
market in Phoebe, and is a
popular and representative
citizen.
The Ohio & Kentucky Mining
company, owning valuable
ground at Pioche, Nevada, has
shipped several carloads of sup
plies and equipment to its hold
ings, and is preparing for ex-
tensive and systkmatic develop
ment work and exploration.
Ernest L. Godbe, one of the
officers of the company, left for
Phoebe a short time ago tc
inaugurate operation. He was
accompanied by ]. A. Earls, the
well-known mining man, who
will serve as superintendent fol
the company. Mr.. Godbe is an
old-time Phoebe mining operator,
and the new company has alb.
sorbed a portion of the large
holdings of the Godbe brothers
in this famous camp. Salt Lake

PIocHR WAKING UP.

The Ely Mining Record has
the following to say about us:
Neither the Pioche RECORD
or the Chamber Of Commerce
at that ssplace are hiding their
flights under a bushel," but are
telling the outside people what
q camp Phoebe once was and
what the opportunities now are
for the safe investment Of cap
ital with a prospect of big re-
turns.
Pioche was at one time a boom
ing productive camp, but like
other camps in Nevada, received
a setback from which it is just
recovering. With an assured
railroad and its great mining re-
sources, it has a right to speak
right up with the other good
camps of Nevada. Some day it
is very probable Ely and Pioche
will be connected with a rail-
goad.

THE TRUTH HURTS.

The Calients Lods-Express
says: What kind Of whiskey
do they sell in Phoebe? Last
week the editor announced that
the San Pedro road was tied up
eight days. when in fact trains
were running in three days.
Then a few minutes later he
made the discovery that the San
Pedro road would soon be moved
to Phoebe on account of a small
woshout. Later he discovered
an air ship soaring over Phoebe
about daylight one morning.
Be careful. young fellow, or
you'll find q den of rattlesnakes
In your shoes, or tarantulas
crawling down your back. -
Lode Express man.
We know the truth hurts. Mr..

JUST COMPLAINTS

Complaints continue to be
made at this Office of the manner
In which the Sunnyside and State
line stage lines are conducted.
These complaints come from
two or more sources. One comes
from passengers bound for Ely
via Pioche and they reason this
way: We prefer to enter Ely
through Phoebe, but we cannot
afford to lay over a trip in order
to accommodate the stage COM
pany and hence are forced to go
in by way of Milford and New
house, which, while further, af-
fords more comfortable and surer
transportation. The reason of
this, according to complaints
from other sources, is the Sunny
side Stage Co., does not properly
feed its horses and therefore
cannot properly serve the public.
A deplorable condition existed
on this line few days ago ac-
cording to reports brought in by
c. H. Smith, Louis Pierson and
F. 7. Williams who stopped over
one night at Bailey Springs stage
station on their return from Tel
Ter mountain. They were in
formed by Lou. Dunlap who is
stage keeper at that place, that
the stage horses there had not
had grain nor hay four four days
and they left what little feed
they had on hand through SYM
pathy for the animals. The
Stateline route. on account of
horses giving out and unable to
go further has missed and it is
charged that lack of feed is the
prime cause. The RECORD hopes
this is not as bad as the picture
is painted to us, but if it is so
steps should be taken to protect
both the animals and Pioche.

Yesterday afternoon George
Mitchell and inmate Of the
Nevada State Prison, walked
away from the premises and has
not been seen since. He was q
trusty in charge af the guards
quarters and evidently he help
ed himself to a suit Of clothes
and will thus be more difficult to
trace. His tracks were followed
to Minden where they were
swallowed up in the countless
footprints made by the valleyites.
Mitchell was sent from Hum
boldt county for robbing the
United States mail and had three
years yet to serve. He is I
clever worker and would be
taken for banker rather than
an escaped convict. He was in
the county Jail here for twenty
six days before he was convicted
and is reported to be a sleek
rascal. Appeal.

 ment to Constitution.

Chicago, Oct. Announcement of carefully planned campaign to se- cure the repeal of the 18th amend ment to the constitution of the United States, that which gives the negro equality with the white man as cit izen, was made by Gov. James K. vardaman, of Mississippi, who was in Chicago Thursday attending the Rail- way Surgeons convention.
 Gov Vardaman, who is seeking election to the United States senate, declared that If he won membership in the upper house of congress he would make his fight on the floor of that body. believing that he had the support of the entire south.
 He insisted that a crisis in the re lation of the races In the southern states was at hand and that the prob lem of white supremacy or black dom ination should be settled at once.
