everyone expressed themselves
as well pleased with the gsme.
and the local fans are still irn.
in their belief that the Cal;enls
boys are true sportsman. A
game is being arranged to be
played at Caliente. and we would
venture the suggestion to the
local fellows that they do a little
practicing before the next game
is played. They having lost in

During the morning some ex-
cellent literary exercises were
carried on by Panaca talent, the
little children rendering their
different parts in an excellent
manner. A. v. Lee delivered
an able and scholarly address,
contrasting the conditions of the
old and the new Nevada; while
Mrs. bessie Mathews read a
poem Of her own composition,
which dealt with the early set
tiers and the hardships endured
by them. which was very well
received by the audience. The
celebration ended with a success
full grand ball in the evening, a
large crowd being in attendance
and good music was in order.

Celebration
At Panaca
Many Visitors From Outside Towns
Present---Ball Game The Chief
Attraction.

One of the most successful
celebrations of the oath day Of
July, ever held in Panaca. from
point of attendance and amuse-
ments, was that of Wednesday
last. Numerous visitors were
present from Caliente and
Phoebe. The Caliente and Phoebe
railroad ran an excursion from
Caliente to within four miles of
Panaca, this being an added in
ducement for the people of the
latter town to turn out. The
chief attraction, however, for
both Phoebe and Caliente was
the baseball game, played be-
tween teams representing these
towns, and although Caliente
carried off the honors, the local
boys were in the game every
minute, and until the close of
the last half of the ninth inning.
it was anybody's game. The
score stood nine to eight in fa-
vor of Caliente and the game
grew better as each inning was
played.
1t was in a sense a pitchers
battle; although both pitchers
received excellent support.
Manley did the honors for Phoebe
in the box, and acquitted himself
in first-class style, while White,
for Caliente, was a worthy rival
One noticeable fact, was that
Caliente was represented by a
much stronger team than played
here on the Fourth of July,
while Pioche was without two
of her strongest players, Pat
terson who holds down third bag
was unable to be present, and
the accident occurring to Werk,
one of the strongest batters on
the Pioche team, made it impos-
sible for himato play. However,

No u. p. Coal
for Nevada.

That Reno may be without coal
during the coming winter, unless
arrangements can be made at
this late date to draw a supply
from British Columbia or
Australia, seems more than pos
sible.
E. w. Clapp, Southern Pacific
freight and passenger agent at
this point, gave to Secretary
Bride, ofthe Nevada Commercial
League, what amounted to a
notice to this effect, at the same
time warning the city that it
should arrange to draw its fuel
supply for next winter from
foreign countries.
This condition is said to be due
to the confscation of Union
Pacific coal land fraud investiga-
tion,. and the decision Of the
Hartman management of the
western railroads to teach the
government a lesson, and turn
sentiment against the Roosevelt
administration, by closing down
the Union Pacific mines in Utah
and Wyoming in compliance with
the provisions of the Interstate
Commerce Act which forbids q
railway company to be interested
in the production of commodities
its transports. Reno Journal.

Are Looking
Toward Phoebe

Manager B. o. Ellsworth of
the Pioche Brokerage Company,
returned from a business trip to
Salt Lake City. Friday morning.
Mr.. Ellsworth states that a great
deal of interest is being taken in
Phoebe and her future by Salt
Lake people. Many were anx-
iouS to know of the business
openings, and he feels assured
that upon the completion of the
railroad, a great rush will be
made here from that place. Also
many people will come in from
Ely and all Southern Nevada.
In the Mining and Scientific
Press, published in San Fran
cisco, California, weekly letters
from Pioche appear. These arti-
cles are written by Jas. w. Alb
bott of this place and give very
detailed and correct accounts OF
Phoebe, her mines and resources.
The Mining and Scientific Press
is one of the leading mining pa.
pers of the country, and it's state
ments on mining are taken as
law by its numerous readers.
Col. w. B. MacSherry, presi.
sent of the Lincoln-Nevada Min,
ing and Milling Company, in.
forms US that he has a car loaC
of lumber en- route from San
Pedro, California. Upon the ar
rival of the lumber, an assay of
fee, engine house and otheI
buildings will be erected and il
the near future a stamp mil
will be built at the mine. Upol
the DAILY East claim, belonging
to the above company, there i
an abundance of free millin,
gold ore and for the purpose O
treating this ore it is necessar,
to build a stamp mill. At tn
mines, one Of the finest residenc
and Office buildings in the cam
has been completed.

Good Ore
Is Found

F. w. Dickle is exhibiting
some very fine specimens of cop
per and gold ore which comes
from the Gold Butte Mining Dis
trict. in the southern end IF the
Muddy Valley. The samples
were taken from a group of
claims. recently acquired by Mr..
Dickle. Hon. Geo. F. Talbot,
Chief Justice of this State, and
Hon. Geo. S. Brown, District
Judge Nof the Fourth District.
These gentlemen have a group
consisting of twenty claims, up
on which they are doing the as
sessment work at present. The
assay value Of the samples has
not been determined as yet, but
from appearances, should run
well up in the minerals above
stated. Some of the leading
mining men of the district, and
who are considered good judges
of rock, when shown the sam
pies, state that it is the finest
seen by them for surface show
ings.
The Gold Butte District is in
its infancy and is just beginning
to attract the attention of the
monied mining men throughout
the country, which it entirely
merits. Among those who own
some of the choicest property
are Cobb Bros. Of Moapa and
Brig Whitmore of Overton, and
a company has been incorporated
to take charge of this property,
which will no doubt give a good
account of itself in the yielding
of much high grade ore.

Complete Their
Location Work
Local Men Have Good Prop.
erty In Johnson Can
yOn

w. A. Free, V. P. Jones and
Owen Spears returned from
Johnson Canyon, which is situ-
ate about eleven miles in a north
westerly direction from Pioche,
at which point they have been
completing the location work on
the Iron Horse group of claims,
recently located by them. The
claims are situate in a part of
the district in which mineral has
been known to exist for many
years.
This ground, however, has
never been prospected to any
great extent, and hardly any
development is shown. The
only mines of any Importance
are those now covered by the
Jumbo group, owned by ]. #.
Roeder, Geo. Sawyer and 7. H.
Tracey; upon which q shaft was
sunk some years ago by one
Louie Berdino, and good values
found therein.
The ground owned by Mr..
Free and associates adjoins the
Jumbo group and the ledge is
traceable for o distance of 4,5OC
feet along their claims, of which
they have six. They express
surprise that more attention has
not been paid to this locality
aud believe good mines are to be
fOMad there. The country is al
the junction of the Jackrabbit
and Highland Mining Districts
and the formations are charac'
.teristic of those sections. These
claims will be further developed
as soon as the owners can make
necessary arrangements.

Meeting Is Held.

A regular meeting of the
Phoebe Chamber of Commerce
was held Monday evening.
Routine business was transacted
and also the question of adver-
tising for Railroad Day was
taken up and acted upon by this
body. It was decided to have a
great many envelopes printed.
advertising this day, and have
the same distributed among the
business men and residents to
use in all letter writing. This
matter will be kept under con-
sideration by the Chamber Of
Commerce and such action taken
from time to time as may be
deemed necessary. to have every
thing in readiness on the ap-
pointed day. A full attendance
is requested at all meetings in
the future.

Steam Laundry
Is Considered

Since the article published in
our last issue relative to the need
of a laundry here, we learn that
certain parties have the matter
under consideration, and have
had for some time. They have
the preliminaries arranged and
will be in position to commence
the erection of a proper building
and installing the necessary
machinery within a short time,
if present plans carry out. This
confirms our belief that Phoebe
business men are quick to see
opportunities and grasp them,
also that they do not make any
great noise about what they are
going to do. but proceed to act.

Donations Wanted.

The RECORD, while it has been boost
ing the interests of Phoebe and the sur
rounding distric,1, has not asked for one
cent. We believe Il is our duty to boost.
We need power veiy badly. a gasoline
engine costing about $2in.OO, and believe it
NO more than fair for the mining COM
panies Of this district to each make
contribution. Should all the mining com
panies see this proposition in the correct
light, we will assure value received.

EXCELLENT WRITEUP

We have had the pleasure of
seeing the Phoebe number of
the July Arrowhead recently
issued and it is surely a credit
to that paper. The writing
was done and the photographs
taken by Jas. w. Abbott
of Pioche, and both are first
class. A paper getting out
a number such as has the Arrow
head. is deserving the patron
age Of the people. The views
protrayed are the best we, have
ever seen published of Pioche and
two different views Of the IA
nous porphry dyke are excellent,
as is the photograph of the great
fissure near the Raymond and
Ely shaft. Altogether it is the
finest gotten up article we have
seen of Pioche. The Arrow
head is the official magazine of
San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake Railroad.
Mr.. John Roeder cams iR from
Delamar last evening. and
brought with him the regalia ard
fixtures of the Masonic Lodge.
The lodge is being moved back
to Pioche, from whence it was
removed to Delamar some years
age. The building will be re-
paired, for which purpose, lum-
Der is on the ground.
