Will Develop the
Groom Property

Mr.. Geo. Coke, a prominent
and successful mining promoter
of this section, came in last even
ing on his return trip from New
Orleans. Mr.. Coke has been per-
fecting arrangements for the or
ganization of a company to work
a group of claims in Groom dis
trict, controlled by him. He
succeeded while absent, in inter
esting very influential parties and
formed a corporation with a
capitalization of 81, 500, 900, divi-
ded in that number of shares of
the par value of 81 each. Fifty
thousand shares have been placed
in the treasury and the greater
number subscribed for, yielding
the company a working capital
of twenty-five thousand dollars
which amount will be immediate
ly expended in opening up the
mines. w. H. Brown, president
of the company, is very infuen.
tial in mining circles. Mr.. Coke
leaves for the properties in the
morning.

company. The purchase price
being $4,000 money down.
The McFadden property con-
sists of one full claim and lies in
the very heart of the Bristol
District. 1t adjoins on the north
west the Clark property, on the
southeast the Hillside, on the
northeast the Nevada-Utah and
on the southwest the Inman, be-
longing to the Bristol Consoli-
dated, and ranks well with any
of the properties in point of
tonnage actually developed.
Representatives of the COM
pany will make a thorough in
vestigation of the property and
will outline a course of extensive

early in July.
Again we might state that the
Boston-Pioche is getting hold of
an extensive area of very desir-
able mineral ground. They
have taken options on the Scran-
ton and Lookout claims, situate
in the Ely Mining District, about

These claims are adjoining the
Boss properties and with the
acquisition of these last named
claims, will make a very desir-
able stretch of territory along
the porphyry dyke. The options
on the above named properties
were taken from VIM. Lloyd.

of Phoebe. The Lookout being
purchased from the three parties
and the Scranton from Lloyd
and Cook. The purchase price
is to be $15, 900, and the cUn-
pany has evidenced its intention
of exercising the option by max
ing a payment of $1,000 during
the week.
We will state that it is a
source of qualification to have
companies of the financial stand
ing of the Boston-Pioche taking
hold of all this desirable terri
tory, for it means that they will
be thoroughly developed and
prospected.

'McF adden" Mine Sold
For Ten Thousand
BOstOnPOche Mining Company Secures One of the Best
Mines In the Bristol Copper District.

One of the most significant
mining deals that has occurred
here in Pioche for some time. was
consummated this week, when
the Boston-Pioche Mining Com
pany concluded the purchase Of
the McFadden mine from A. w.
Scott. Mr.. Scott has held this
mine under option for some
months, during which time he
has kept men constantly en-
ployed doing development work.
AS a result one of the finest
showings in the Bristol District
has been uncovered. Mr.. Scott
exercised his option recently
and the deed conveying the
property was signed by Ed w.
Clark, former owner of the prop
erty.

dent of the Boston-Pioche Min
ing Company, was in Phoebe re-

erty. The ore fairly reeks with
gold and it is safe to estimate
its value at from $4,000 to $780,
900 per ton. The Duplex prop
erty is the old original Search
light mine from which the town
took its name, and the present
owner is the original discoverer.
1t was is in the early days of the
camp, sometime in 1897, that
Fred Cotton coming home one
night to camp, composed then
OF about a half dozen souls, ex-
claimed: There is something
here boys, but it would take a
searehhght to find IT. A few
days later he located the Search
light mine, giving birth to what
is now recognized as one of the
greatest gold camps in Nevada.
The property has been in the
hands of several companies since
that time, but has in every caser re-
verted back to Cotton. 1t is un-
purchasable now, as he declares
he will never part with it again.
The mine is located right in

business thoroughfare of the

the pessimists had better do all
their predicting at once for they
will soon be out of a job.
Since the above was set up,
we have had the pleasure OF
meeting Mr.. T. B. Brown of Los
Angeles, California, and have
learned from him that the COM
pany will begin preliminary work
Monday morning, and ex-
pect to reach Phoebe not later
than September 1st and to that
end every effort will be put
forth.
Mr.. Brown is here in the in
terests of the Arrowhead, the
official paper of the Salt Lake
Route, and it is the intention to
make a write up of Phoebe a
special feature of a July number.
The Arrowhead is a very neat
appearing magazine, being got
ten up in first-class style and
containing well written and in
structive articles.
Mr.. Jas. w. Abbott will write
the article concerning Phoebe,
and this in itself will insure the
part that Pioche's every interest
will be ably represented.
Douglass White is in charge
of the Arrowhead, being at the
head of the publicity department
of the Salt Lake Route. Mr..
White was formerly associate
editor of Harper's Weekly and
and any article appearing under
his supervision needs no intro
duction to the reading public.

Phoebe Real
Assessors Increase, $50 Per
Cent; Owners Increase
600 Per Cent.

No one thing more strikingly
protrays the rapid strides taken
by Phoebe in the last year than
the increase in valuation of real
estate. The assessor has COM
pleted the assessment of the
town and states that there is an
increase of $50 per cent. over
the valuations of last year. The
assessment has been made on a
graduated scale of so much per
front foot, varying in the busi-
ness and resident districts. The
figures given below represent

Increase In
Railroad Force
Graders Will Soon Be Working In Condor Canyon
Scarcity of LabOrers Reason of Delay.

Notwithstanding the many re-
ports to the contrary, work on
the Caliente-Pioche Railroad is
being pushed to comletion as fast
as possible. Many wild rumors
are afloat; that the grading force
has discontinued operations; that
the railroad will not reach Phoebe
in a year and that when the
grade shall have reached Bullion
vile that it would stop there for
some time. These reports are
misleading and have no founda-
ton whatsoever and while we
have not had an opportunity to
speak to the officials personally,
word has come to us direct, and
from reliable parties; that every
effort will be made to complete
the road to Phoebe in as short a
time as possible.
AS evidence of this we cite the
fact of the grading force being
doubled and establishing a camp
above Panaca, and the intention
seems to be to come right through
without delay. Of course, the
matter of laying rails will be
somewhat slow for the reason
that the tracklayer belonging to
the contractors, is now in use on
the Las Vegas & Tonopah, and
cannot be gotten until that track
is completed. They could not
construct a new one merely for
the thirty miles of track to be
laid. However, all conditions
look favorable for the completion
of the road at any early date and

Gold Notes
Fred Cotton, Owner of the Duplex Has Ore Assaying
$1O,OOO--Increase In General Mining

An important deal in mining
property was made this week by
the transfer of the Kirkeby
property. which consists of what
is known as the Pan handle
group of four claims, lying i'm
mediately west of the Search
light Mining and Milling COM
pany's property. The purchaser
is the Quarto Development Com
pany and is principal place of
business is Rochester, N. Y.
The company has secured the
services of Noel Davenport, the
well known San Bernardino min
ing operator, to take charge OF
the property and a force of men
will be put work at once. The
present development of the
grouL shows up three distinct
east-west lodges of porphyritic
quartz, and one north-south lead
OF the same character cutting
the other three. 1t is the opin-
ion of the new owners that the
east-west leads are a continue
ton of those on the Searchlight
ground.

made in the Golden Calf claim.

have heard many reports OF its
magnitude, but one must needs
see for himself before a correct
idea can be gained. A repre-
sentative of this paper was
afforded the courtsey of inspect
ing the mine this week and was
simply astounded at the great
showing. AS he was piloted
through by Foreman Richard
Chope, and his attention called
to the different drifts, wines,
slopes, ETC., the thought occurred
to him that if there be any man
who can for a moment doubt the
fact that Phoebe has the tonnage,

This property is owned by the
Phoenix Reduction Company,
who are also the owners of the
immense failing pits at Bullion
vile, and should the idea of
erecting smelter at that point,
which is now being favorably
considered be consummated, in
these two propositions they have
all the ore needed to keep a
large smelter busy for many
years. The grade leading from
the Prince mine to the proposed
smelter site is admirable for an
easy haul, thus reducing the cost
