BIG Dolnos AT p,ooHe.

The Salt Lake Herald says:
Reports from Phoebe are to the effect
that the Nevada-Ut company is
rapidly getting things in shape for
the steady production Of ore. Not
only that, but the Godbe combina-
ton is also preparing to move and
it will not be long till their proper
ties at Bullion, a few miles from
Phoebe, will be heard from, also. e.
l.. Godhe returned from the latter
yesterday, but says it is yet a little
early to discuss the affairs of his
combination.
He reports, however, that the
Nevada Utah management now hus
The Day mine practically in readiness
to begin production when the right
time arrives. All that remains to be
done is to place the aerial tramway
that will carry the ores down from
the mouth of the operating tunnel
to the company's railway loading
station and that will be done in The
next few weeks. When this prop
erty was reported upon by Professor
George w. Maynard as long ago as
1891, he estimated that there was
"a, 1928, 400 worth of ore in sight
above the tunnel level and that the
workings below showed more than
81 ZOO, 900 in sight. BY some these
figures were thought to he rather
extravagant at the time, but Mr.
Godbe says that the present condi.
ton of the property is such as to
suggest that Professor Maynard was
not far off in his reckoning. Neither
was his estimate that all of the prop,
critics now embraced in the holdings
of the Nevada-Utah company had
exposed ores worth SD 900, 900
gross, any to strong. Professor
Maynard then figured that the ore
reserves could be mined at a mel
profit of about $1,000, 900 and Mr.
Godbe believes tnat they can be
made to do better then that today
great deal better when the railroad
is built to Caliente, and he declares
that the only thing which is holding
back construction right now is the
company's inability to get rails and
ties.
| One of the chief pieces of develop
nent work ahead of the company
Mr.. Godbe says, is the sinking Of
the No. / shaft on the Raymond
! Ely from the 800 to the 1000-foot
level. When this is accomplished
it will take but short time to cross
cut to and open up the famous Ray

At the same time a. cross-cut can b.
run to the no less famous Blacl
ledge, a. few hundred feet to thu
south, and which parallels the Other
vein for miles. The latter ledge
MIR. Godhe states, is destined t.
prove one of the biggest bonanza'
in the country. Its ores are bas,
and in the early days its ores coult
not be handled as they can today
He declares, also, that the world hal
