lake through the damming up of
its waters by great volcanic out
pourings in its southern parts.
Several hundred feet of Pliocene
beds were deposited in the vi
cinity of Panaca and southwark.
Since then the great dam of
igneous rock has been cut
through, and a large part of the
Pilocene beds have been remov-
ed. Vestiges of these deposits
remain high upon the hill sides,
and occassionly a circumdenu-
dated mass still occurs in the
valley below.
The Phoebe Range, as it is
called, is approximately Is miles
long by l mile wide. It's mean
trend is about sixty-fve degrees
west of north. Mt. Ely with an
elevation of 7,15O feet is the
highest point.
The town of Phoebe is situat-
ed in a depression of the north
ern slopes of the range, and
about midway between it's ex-
tremities. According to official
survey it is little less than
5000 feet above sea level. The
hills as whole are practically
one thousand feet higher than
the town.
During the early days of
active mining the camp had a
reported population of nearly
ten thousand, while today it has
scarcely more than three hun
dred. For a mining ca mp it is
exceptionally clean and attrac-
tive. Locust trees planted thirty
years ago still survive and give
the place a very homelike APP
pearance.
The general aspect of the
country is somewhat round.
Even the heavy grades and pre-
cipitous inclines show evidence
of long erosion. The slopes on
the south side of the range are
more gentle than on the north.
This is especially true in the
western half where a fault es-

1t is earnestly recommended
that the planting of trees, shrubs
and vines and the adornment of
public and private grounds be
observed, and that the day be
spent as a holiday by the public
schools of the state, provided
that nothing herein shall be con-
strued as making this a legal
holiday so far as the courts and
civil contracts are concerned.

been so beautifully supplied with
moisture from the clouds, should
be an inducement to our people

tective measures, but also dem

Fire.!

Gentle readers, we would ask
your forbearance in our SEEM
ingly harping upon the question
of a fire department here. 1t is
far from our intention to bore
you, but we take this method to
try and at least demonstrate that
we are not publishing statements
concerning it merely as a matter
of hot air. Emphatically no.
Just the reverse, it is a public
necessity and someone will wake
up to the fact when it is too late.
We as a community have been
extremely fortunate in the mat
ter of fires. But the small
quantity of fires in the past is
no assurance that it will occur
later. Think of the result of all
confiagrations that have occurred
the last three or four years.
Has there been a single instance
where the building in which it
started has been rescued? We
think not. 1t is both true and
an admirable fact that the cit

every assistance and have ac-
complished much. But consider
the difficulties under which they
have worked, one thing, no sys-
tenn; another, fire apparatus in
order, which as we have stated
before is certainly very neces-
sary.

us to suggest that the principal
property owners start a move

1t is a well known fact that
the Basin Ranges have a strictly
north and south trend. This is
so rigidly true that a relief map
of the Great Basin looks not un-
like an army of caterpillars
headed in a common direction.
Southeastern Nevada, although
just outside the Great Basin, is
no exception.
Phoebe is situated in a small
range of hills extending east and
west between Duck Valley on
the north and Meadow Valley
on the south. The trend of
these hills is practically the only
exception in Southeastern Ne
vada.
Duck Valley is a broad typi-
cal desert valley. There are no
canyons and the hills are round
