Edward Thomason, who in as
sociation with a Mr.. Weddel of
France, bought the Horn Silver
mine near Bailey Springs last
March, planking down $4,000
spot cash for a three foot hole,
are now on their way to Phoebe
to begin active and extensive op-
erations on their holdings. This
discovery made by J. L. Whip
pie and sold to these parties, is
the best find made in this section
for many years. The geology of
the new district is good, the
ledges are enormously large and
values on this claim rich and
very little development has so
far been done and its extent is
of course unknown, but the
Horn Silver surely has the ear
marks of a great mine. tbs the
opinion of the writer that Baily
Springs district will in a few
years be the wonder of Lincoln
County.
7. J. Osborne has just receiv-
ed nicely finished and framed
pictures of Phoebe in 1873 and
1888. These pictures comprising
of seven in number taken from
different points of view were
made from the only original plates
of this date now in existance.
They are now on exhibition at
Thompsons store for public view
after which in a few days they
will be removed to adorn the
private palace of the owner in
Pioche. They are relics of an
early day embracing memories
of childhood to the present time
and contains much interesting
history which is thoroughly ap-
preciated by Mr.. Osborne.
These pictures can be duplicated
for one dollar apiece.
Al Godbe passed through town

nearly $500, 600 and been able to
pay off the debt without any
burden to the tax payers with
in a period of ten years. His
remarks were clear, wrought
with much force and contained
facts undisputable by any one.
Hon. w. R. Thomas, candidate
on the Republican ticket for as
semblyman, then addressed the
audience upon local and county
affairs, touching slightly upon
national subjects and general
prosperity under Republican
rule. Mr.. Thomas talk was
clear and forceful, impressive
for its cleaness and correctness
and showed himself not only to
be an able but fairminded and
just man.
Judge H. S. Laney, candidate
for District Attorney made an
able talk for himself, referring to
the many important and promin-
ent positions he had occupied in
Utah, including city Judge, as
senblyman, etc., which showed
his ability as an Attorney. He
said that he proceeded to win this
race and that he would dance
himself in, which he proposed to
do after the speaking closed.
With a few brief remarks
again from Judge Osborne in
which he announced the begin
ing of the grand ball the speech
making was concluded. The
benches and seats were removed
and one of the largest, merriest
and best looking crowds gathered
together here for years participa-
ted in the light fantastic till the
small wee hours. Not one thing
to mar the pleasure Of any one
made it one of the most enjoy
able affairs ever held here.

In noting the qualifications, all
things considered, including the
last investigation of county af-
fairs, that of H. w. Turner is
discerned. A mature man of
large experience, intrusted for a
number of years in almost every
official capacity of Lincoln county
and one whom personally con-
ducts his own affairs, thoroughly
capable and beyond reproach,
appeals to his fitness for the
place. This is a critical moment
in the affairs of Lincoln county
and sound, sober judgment and
common sense exercised in the
selection of a man for this par
ticular Office. Mr.. Turner has
been tried in the crucible of ex.
perience and has met every obi
cation entrusted to him. st

DEMOCRATIC
RALLY.
A Good Time.

Last Wednesday night the
County Democratic Nominees had
an enthusiastic rail- at Thomu-
sons Hall in Pioche. The pioche
Cornet band, much to their credit
dispersed music for the occasion.
A torch light procession present
ed a beautiful scene and a great
deal of interest was taken by the
citizens. The street procession
was fairly represented in number
and the assemblage at the hall
was unusually large.
The entertainment was opened
by that veteran Democratic and
war horse ex-senator ]. A. Dem
ton, of Caliente, in an enthusiast
tic appeal for Democracy which
elected great applause.
Assemblyman Frank Williams
was next to address the audience
in a clean, instructive and adj
mirable manner in which he made
a great hit by telling how and
why he answered every roll call
at the sessions of the legislature
OF which he was a member and
spoke on several bills he would
endeavor to pass if he was
elected. Among them were a
child labor law, which should
receive the support of every
member of both houses, an
amendment to the mining law,
a bill to provide better roads and
other bills, and on the matter of
county disvision and removal of
the county seat he was enpath-
ically apposed to such a move.
Levi Syphus discussed in an
able manne~ the ina1sr We sss~
present time referring to the
Campbell bill as being good
measure and wholesome. His
talk throughout was instructive
and interesting, and he told how
he would be kept busy around
the county from now until cleo
ton taking care of babies and
older babies of the femme gender
after the other candidates had
kissed them. In regards to
division of the county and re-
moval of the county seat his
ideas were the same as assembly,
man Williams. He received a
great deal of applause through
out his talk.
Chas Lee Horsey spoke more
eloquently than usual and wove
into his remarks some beautiful
sentiments which will live in the
memory of those who heard him
for many a day. Mr.. Horsey
possesses brilliant talent, and,
with western ideas acquired and
experience in the practice of law
he will make great lawyer.
Senator Denton spoke about
absent candidates and for some
that were present who were not
orators and his remarks were
loudly applauded. He spoke in
praising manner of candidacy

Wonders of Nevada.

! The wonders of Nevada are
beginning to astonish the world
the wonder of Goldfield, of Bull
frog, of Manhattan, of Fairview
of Ely, and of Tonopah, creations
all in the last four or five years,
and such creations as make them
today a concernment in every
financial center of the world.
And some of the old camps are
coming to the front, and threaten
ing to eclipse their former glories.
y Among them we may name
Tuscarora, and Manhattan which
is only another name for the
Jefferson district, which was
worked thirty-five years ago, and
last, but not least, Phoebe.
Phoebe was one of the original
wonders, because it was $50 miles
from any modern transportation,
and yet it gave up tens of millions
of dollars. Now, since the dis
covery of the cyanide process, it
has been found that lying right
beside the great deposits out of
which the original treasure was
taken, there is a belt of mineral
which probably more wealth
than was taken from the old
mines. One little property there
has $40, 900 worth of ore develop
ed. Extensive workings are
going on to renew the old mines
and to exact their treasures.
In another six weeks the rail-
road will be there and the first
any one knows Phoebe will re-
write its name on the map as one
of the greatest bullion-producers
of Nevada.
ltseems most strange. Thirty
four years ago there were sixty
five men there that had killed
from one to five men APIECE, and
those who had only killed one
were nightly desirous of emulat-
ing those that had killed five,
and they were a wild crowd.
They looked every newcomer in
the face squarely; they were
ready for business, ready to
divide their purse with, or to
make hole through, any man
that they liked or disliked.
In those days the bullion had
to be carried by stage $50 miles
to the railroad, and we have a
suspicion that some of those who
helped to dig the ore helped to
rob the stages. We have no
certain knowledge of that fact,
but if a message could be received
from Jack Harris, who now for
some years has been on the lower
level (speaking in Biblical
sense), we think he would con-
firm this story.
That is, the population was up
to any kind of a game. They
could break mans heart with
their generosity or they could cut
his heart out without any COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience, if they
did not like the expression in his
eyes.
Now, a new race is in there.
Mining will be on the dead
square. The reduction of ore
will be reduced to an absolute
science. Every cent will have to
be accounted for. But the pro-
hts are going to be more than in
the old days.
All hail to new Phoebe and may
it live long and prosper. Salt
Lake Telegram.

On exhibition at J. A. Clark S
are a half dozen potatoes raised
by Joe Hollenger of Eagle Valley
which eclipse anything in that
line yet brought to town. They
are forthe Chamber Of Commerce
and certainly are beauties, one
weighing over three pounds.
Eagle Valley has long been noted
for its real products. but these
specimens are exceedingly fine.

tainment at Jim Nights resort

mandolin and guitar was unusual
ly fine and entertaining.

The Dignity of the Court"

A poor man in Jacksonville, ignor-
ant of our customs and of our laws.
was suing for a divorce and incIosed
Judge Call two dollar bill to advance
the case on the docket
The man was arrested and brought
before the court for contempt.
His lawyers argued that the man
was innocent OF any intention to cor
rupt the court and did not mean in
any way to reflect upon the courts in
tegrity nor want of integrity.
But the court held that its offended
dignity could only be restored and up
held by sentencing the poor unfor-
tunate wretch to thirty days impris-
onment in the county Jail.
Now. what sensible man in all the
earth has a higher opinion of the
court than before this incident oc-
Cured?
1t seems to us that if Judge Call
had dismissed this man with an adj
monition he would have stood higher
in the public estimation.
Twas Shakespeare we believe who
said: 90! it is excellent TO have a gil
ants strength, but it is tyrannous to
use it like a giant"

Panthers Preying on Deer.

Mr. Doty Carson was in town on
Monday from mmokalee. He is one
of the most successful panther hunt
ers in Florida. and recently killed two
very large panthers in Capt. Towles'
pacture. four miles below Immoka-
lee. Doty thinks the State legisla-
ture should pass a law offering a
bounty for panther hides, as he says
these powerful beasts destroy deer
and turkey by the Wholesale They
are hard on the settlers hogs also. and
he has lost $40 worth of hogs through
the depredations Of the panthers the
past month. Sportsmen looking for big
game should come TO Lee county and
hunt the panther They will find all
the sport in killing this big game that
they desire. The haunts of those beasts

wATrERsoN ON SOCIETY.

The real trouble with American
fashionable life at present seems 10
no that IT is the vicious, not virtuous
which our smart set imports from
Europe and which, without let or
bindrance. gets through the custom
house.
In the end perhaps the surfeit
will bring about its reaction; even
though the automobile craze VIII re-
side from a steady and useful locomo-
ton. The time may come when the
rich American will find something
more to his fancy than bizarre van
tiles, and foreign lettering, when
surrounded by the refinements that
money can buy, he will stay at home
quite ready to receive the best OF
company, no longer nursing the dis
temper of deriving pleasure OF dip
ping his toes in the rather cold sun
shine of titled aristocraey, which at
heart despises him. There was
republican society, indeed-a society
to be proud CT because a society
proud Of it's country and OF itself
gone back from its inspiration to the
homeiy, homespun sources whence
we draw all that is strong and wor-
thy in our life as a nation and as
people.
There is a great deal Of truth in
this but it is gratifying that the
best of American society Is growing
both more patriotic and more appre-
ciative of its country. and the best
Of American sotiety is gradually rea-
lizing that the average European
title taken along with the average
European fortune hunter is a very
undesirable alliance. The time we
believe will come when such matri-,
monial alliance will be understood
for what they really are. Certainly
American girls have had enough un-
eyes to this already.
