.Delamar
Bullion Tax

The following statement has
been received by Assessor Roed-
er from the Bamberger-Delam
company, operating at Delamar,
in Lincoln county, Nevada, quar-
ter ending March 81, 1907:
Number tons worked, 20, 12O;
gross yield, $164, ,08O. 25; cost of
extraction, $56, 1884. 81; transpor-
tation, 1857. 81; reduction of ore,
$87, ,096.59; net proceeds, $19,-
721.78; on the net proceeds the
tax of $683. II has been received.
This is the first quarter that this
company has reported any net
returns from their operation of
the property for nearly two
years. A large failing mill is
now in operation on the ores that
were first worked from the mines
when owned by Capt. ]. R. Del
amar.

tent occupied by Mr. Cobb and
invited him to come out and
settle the differences and the de-
fendant shot him, claiming self
defense as the motive. The
evidence was somewhat conflict
ing on this point and the district
attorney was of the opinion, and
the same was concurred in by
the committing magistrate that
the case should be thoroughly
shifted before the proper bodies,
and as a result the defendant
was held to answer before the
grand jury without bonds.
There were about eight eye
witnesses to the tragedy and
opinions differ as to the absolute
necessity of the killing for the
preservation of the life of the
defendant.

Killing at
Copper City
John R. Ward Shot Down By Fremont Cobb
and Dies Instantly

District Attorney Horsey was at
Overton during the week repre-
senting the State in the case of
Fremont Cobb charged with the
murder of John R. Ward at Cop
per City on the evening of April
25th, 1907. A great deal of in
terest is attached to this case,
owing to the prominence of the
defendant he being associated
with the firm Of Cobb Bros. of
Moapa, one of the largest mer-
camille institutions of that sec
ton of the county.
1t appears from the evidence
that the defendant and his VIC
tim had several quarrels and
disputes over mining claims to
which they claim adverse inter
ests, and on the evening of the
tragedy, Ward went to the

their part. 1t is recognized by
everyone that in every endeavor,
there must be system, in order
that the same be a success. 1t
may be argued that many would
come Of there own voltion, but
the assertion is fair that where
hundreds would come in this
manner, thousands would come
under proper management. We
want to make the advent of the
railroad into Phoebe one to be
long remembered; we want to
bring into Pioche that day hund-
reds, and from among them,
when they see our district, will
be numbered many investors and
future residents of this town. Is
it not a business proposition I?
What has been the universal
verdict of Ryoalite, Beatty, Ely
and all Nevada towns after such
excursions? That the money ex-
pended in that manner has been
a profitable investment. We do
not for one moment contemplate
that there will be any who will
not contribute to this enterprise
to the full extent of which they
are capable, and that in doing so
they are paving the way for their
money back" with substantial
interests attached.

duction to the people of Los An

acter to the satisfaction of all.

Progressing
Railroad Day Plans Started by the PiOche
Chamber of Commerce.

Work on the Caliente-Pioche
railroad is moving along in a
fairly rapid order. The graders
have moved their camp from
near Caliente to the Dow Barton
Ranch. Rails will be laid from
Caliente to there Immediately in
order to get the pile driver out
that far, as its services will be
greatly needed in order to bridge
the washes and swamps in that
vicinity. Opinions differ as to
the length of time likely to be
required to build to Panaca.
ranging from sixty days to three
months, however. this will de-
pend largely upon the size of
the crew employed.
1t is estimated by the chief
engineer that sufficient material
is on hand for the building of
the road to that point not later
than June |.
Last evening a special meeting
of the Phoebe Chamber of Com
merce was held for the purpose
OF inaugurating a system for
providing ways and means for
the celebration of railroad day in
Phoebe and the running of ex-
cursions from Los Angeles and
Salt Lake City. 1t was decided
that a committee be appointed to
interview our business men and
ascertain what each would be
willing to subscribe monthly to
a fund to be used exclusively for
this purpose and also to get
someone having experience and
ability in such matters to take
charge of the excursions.
Mr.. |. C. Tichenor of Los An
geles has consented to take this
position, and it is now up to the

Chamber of

A large and very enthusiastic
meeting of the Phoebe Chamber
OF Commerce was held in it's new
quarters in the Thompson Block
Monday evening. Some vacan-
cles existing, new officers were
elected and the organization put
in tirst-class working order. VIM.
Z. Orr was elected to the office
of secretary and Ralph Dewitt

cided to have the Chamber of

Monday evening and President
E. F. Prudential is determined
to have the spirit and purpose of
the organization carried out to
the letter.
This is certainly as it should be.
In organization lies the secret of

ers coming to our town at pres
ent who need a means of OBJ

We bespeak for the Chamber
of Commerce a long and useful

it are from among our most en-
ergetic citizens and business
men who have demonstrated time
and again that they are unfa-
miliar with the word failure.
| That Phoebe and the surround

ton in the East is evidenced by
the fact that The Record, since
early in March, has placed on it's
subscription list a number of

EldOradO
District News
From The Records Special Correspondent The
Fortuna Shipping Ore.

Success on one property in
this immediate vicinity has its
effect upon others, and the
present development on the For
tuna and the Extension has
drawn attention to other proper
ties which will rush develop
ment as fast as men and money
can accomplish it.
ELDORADO SPHINX.
Among the important devel-
opments in the vicinity of Mob
Hill. which is the southern divis-
ion of the Eldorado Canyon
country, is the financing of the
Eldorado Spinx, one of the old
discoveries of the district, and
which was worked forty years
ago By nioneers of the upper
Colorado river. For the past
few years all that has been done
on the property has been the
development of water and the
opening up of new workings in
the old tunnel, run by the trail
blazers. The Eldorado Spinx
carries a romantic history, in
Guiding bloodshed and Indian
wars, and only recently the
original discoverer, John Weav-
er, returned to the district after
many years absence to begin
prospecting again. Weaver has
stood guard day after day in an
improvised fort on the summit
OF the Spinx ledge, rifle in hand,
to keep the Indians away while
his partners took from a sahllow
slope, horn silver that went all
the way from fifty cents to a
dollar per pound. This slope
penetrated the vein about fifty
feet and only a narrow streak
was worked out. The present
owners have driven an additional
tunnel into the ledge, which
shows q feet in width on the
surface, and have put down two
wines, one forty-fve feet and
the other further in, twenty-five
feet deep. In both these work.
ings only, pay ore has been en-
countered, and at the present
point it is estimated that the
vein carries pay for a width of
thirty feet. This monster ledge
is traceable for one mile, and at
its apex on the Spinx carries
pay from the grass roots. There
is an old dump estimated to be
worth $50, 900, consisting of ores
ranging from $40 to $10O per
ton, but which was not rich
enough to ship via the Gulf of
California to smelters. The pre-
ponderance of value is silver,
while ore running 100 ounces in
the white metal carries with it
from 500 to $50 in gold.
1t is the plan of the owners to
erect concentrating plant upon
a mill site located a few hundred
feet away, where water has been
developed and whence ore can
be conveyed by a chute into the
mill. By concentrating from
three to five into one, the prop
erty can handle every ounce of
ore at a profit. With at present
thirty feet of ore developed for a
distance of one hundred feet,
this is one of the largest prop
critics yet opened in the district,
and shows millions in sight. AT
least $40, 200 is to be spent i'm
mediately in development and
mill construction. and the pro-
duct of the mine will be shipped
mainly via Nipton to the Salt
Lake smelters. E. M. Martin.

NELSON, New, April 70. =
The Fortuna mine initiates ore
shipments via the Santa Fe this
week with a twenty-five ton con-
signment that runs to the fancy
figure of $500 per ton. This
shipment was taken from a drift
on the 200-foot level, where the
entire drift is in bonanza ore.
Nine assays on this ledge for its
entire width show an average of
$139.84 per ton, and much ore of
this character is being stored for
milling later on, when the COM
pany installs it's pan-amalgama-
ton cyanide works for the re-
duction of gold and silver ores.
With these works 80 per cent of
the values can be saved, the av-
erage cost per ton being So,
while the highest is So.
The company has a well AZ
feet deep that contains Is feet
of water, sufficient for all pur-
poses. This we'll was sunk in
the wash, and the flow is per-
manent.
The initial shipment is a test
run and will be followed regu-
larly by others of the same high
grade. The shaft is now down
$50 feet and will be continued.
Manager A. A. Knight encount-
cred a fault at 55 feet in the
present shaft, but after COM
paratively nominal amount of
labor picked up his ore body
again, which has proved richer
and wider, and shows that the
slips and faults of the district is
a natural element and should oc-
casion no uneasiness.
The development of the For
tuna to a shipping basis has been
rapid and scientific, and as the
present workings are extended,
the mine takes on the habili.
ments of permanent producer,
with an abundance of rich ore in
sight.

tension, which endlines the orig.
inal Fortuna on the east. Thil
property is being developed by 6
tunnel that has penetrated the
hill 2G5 feet, giving a depth o1
300 feet when the vein is crossed
The present workings have
reached the footwall of the shoot,
which at this point is estimated
to be Is feet in width, but M
assays have been taken, anc
nothing will be known of the
values until the bore has reached
the hanging wall. On the sur
face an average of $23 was OBJ
tanned. which is better than thai
on the Fortuna at the same
depth. This vein, according tt
Mining Engineer Flynn, who
recently examined the property
shows on the Fortuna for 300(
feet, and developments show the
same ledge and ore body on the
Fortuna Extension for 400 feet
and in Mr.. Flynn's estimation
runs through three thousand fee
of that territory. Thus it NIGH
be said that whatever values anc
continuity of ore bodies are
proven on the Fortuna apple:
equally on the Fortuna Exten
sion, and development on this
property is being watched care
fully.

Another
Sale AT
Bristol

Hon. George F. Talbot, chief
justice of our supreme court and
F. W. Dickle of this place have
recently purchased from Chas.
Fernandez of Bristol a group of
five claims. The claims adjoin
the group belonging to Messrs.
Fernandez, Lindsay and Costello,
upon which such a fine showing
has been encountered. Messrs.
Talbot and Dickle will do some
development work on their group
in the near future to determine
their value. 1t is stated that
Judge Talbot will pay Phoebe a
visit shortly to renew his ac-
quaintance with old time friends
of which he has so many in this
section and incidentally to look
aIter MS different interests here,
The group is known as the
Peerless Group consisting of the
Peerless No. l, 2, 3 and A and
lying as it does in the very heart
of the greatest copper district in
the West (for we believe we can
truthfully say this of the Bristol
District) success is surely to be
the result. Judge Talbot is en-
titled to all the good things
which this section can give him;
he has evidenced his faith here
by substantial appropriations to
prospectors in trying to deter
mine what we have.
