Strike In the Poke Mine.

Reports from Fay are that q
rich strike has been made re-
Gently on the Pope Mining claim,
owned by Joe Delmue, but in an
entirely new ledge lying parallel
to the old vein and about 100
feet to the east. Mr.. Delmue
found some rich float and con-
Guided he would do a little pros
pecting for the ledge. After
sinking about a foot he struck
the ledge which is about fifteen
inches wide and horns, we
should Judge, at least 500 per
ton. The ledge has been un-
covered for a distance of thirty
feet and still holds good. This
with resent striks made on the
Snowflake property. demon
strates beyond a doubt that Fay
will boom in the near future.

RAISE IT FIFTY PER CENT.

The Caliente Express in its
issue of the 18th after giving
this paper left handed COM
pliment, ends with the remark,
That he wants the Editor to
keep his mud hooks out of our
Bunch of Ham sandwiches. ,"
We have not in any manner
interfered with the Express
fight with the Las Vegas Age, to
which he no doubt has reference,
but we have a right to express
our opinions on the decency of
any article written either by the
Express or any other paper in
County. or out of the County and
whenever such articles as has
appeared heretofore in the EX-
press and to which we referred
in a previous article addressed
TO Subscriber, we will express
our opinions, and that in no UNI
measured terms. We say more,
that the articles were such that
the issue Of the paper containing
them should have been denied
the mails, and furthermore, the
writer of this article has not met
one single reader Of the Express
who has not condemned the
articles and the writer thereof
for the use of them in his paper.
We have no personal feeling
against the Express orits Editor,
we wish them both all the success
that should fall to the newspaper
man, but for the sake of the
newspaper fraternity, we do say
and say it honestly do not drop
to the barroom vernacular in
your writing; raise it about so
per cent and you will find that
the public will have no just
cause for comment.

MASKED BALL.

The Masquerade Ball given
under the auspices of the Phoebe
Dramctic Association at Thomp-
sons Hall on Thursday evening
(Washington's birthday was a
grand success. There were
many more in costumes than was

joyed was of the best. There

pretty costumes and some of the

Landslide ON Salt Lake Route.

Early Saturday morning a land
slide occurred on the Salt Lake
Route near Caliente, which seri-
ously delayed traffic, but FORUM
ately caused no loss of life. The
thaw was the cause of the slide,
and tons upon tons of rock and
gravel were piled upon the track.
Before an oncoming freight train
could be appraised of danger it
dashed into the obstruction, the
engine and several cars being de-
rallied. The engineer and fire.
man on the freight observed the
danger ahead, and to save them
selves jumped from the cab and
thus saved their lives.
Information of the occurrence
was at once conveyed to Caliente
and a wrecking train and crew
were dispatched to the scene.
To clear the track for traffic oc-
cupied over twelve hours.

Illness of Judge Rives.


From letters received in
Phoebe and from the Salt Lake
papers it is learned that Judge
Henry Rives is in one of the hos.
pitfalls at Salt Lake slowly starv-
ing to death. He is suffering
from acute gastritis and as he is
unable to retain any food in his
stomach his condition has
reached the critical stage and his
physicians hold out no hopes for
his recovery. Judge Rives has
been a resident of Salt Lake for
many years, but before going to
Utah he lived in Nevada and is
well known throughout the
State. In former years he was
Judge of the Third Judicial Dis
trict Court Of Nevada for sever
al terms, during which time he
resided at Eureka.

COUNTY SEAT.

The Las Vegas Age of the 18th
says that 1T is reasonably GER
tain that Las Vegas will be the
county seat, either by division
of the county or removal from
Phoebe. Which shall it be?"
We hold four aces and two
jokers on the county seat re-
naming at Phoebe until April
1909, as no arrangements of any
kind, political, majority or the
wish of the majority of the peo-
pie of Lincoln County that it be
removed can be put into effect
before that date, so we are not
bothering ourselves just at
present. If Las Vegas wants a
county seat before that date, it
will have to be by division; as
we can euchre you for three
years, and the possibilities for
Phoebe in the next three years
are so great that it will not be
at all surprising but what we
will have double the population
that Las Vegas has. We wish
you all prosperity Las Vegas,
but Wen hold the reins for three
years more at least.

Court House improvements

The last Grand Jury recon-
mended that certain improve
ments be made at the court
house and Jail and the Board of
Commissioners have carried out
those instructions to the letter.
The Jail has been fixed up, new
stone walls have been raised at
the back Of the court house new
walks put in, and the Judges
Chambers been entirely over
hauled and made quite neat.
Instead of papering the walls
and ceiling they have been
tinted with paint. The work
has been done by Mr.. Church.
and is done in a most creditable
manner. While the expense
was quite a heavy one, still it
was necessary and it was done
in the best manner possible.
