Ore From
Yuba East
BOstOn-PiOche Company is
Shipping Carload of
High Grade

The Boston-Pioche Mining
company are now hauling 3 car
load of the rich ore from the
Yuha East claim, to the railroad.
This comprises some of the rich
est ore that has been uncovered
in the district, and is character
istic of that found along the IA
nous porhpry dyke.
Much of this ore is now un-
covered in the Yuba East
ground, but we have been in
formed that shipping upon an
extensive scale will be postponed
by the company, until such time
as the shaft now being sunk is
connected with the ore shoot.
The ore being shipped will easily
average $1l0 per ton.

Nevada Will
Launch Forth

The following very interest
ing article appears in Goodwin's
Weekly of the issue of Decem-
Der 18th:
The waters have been much
troubled" in Nevada during the
past year. Between the crash
in stocks, the labor troubles and
the final universal panic, great
many hopes have been blasted
and a multitude of fortunes have
been shriveled. And still this
has not lessened the real value
of any Nevada property. We
believe that Goldfield is the rich
est gold camp in the world.
Against the most adverse condi-
tions it was yielding $1,000, 900
per month when the panic came
which was equal to the best
Yields of the entire Comstock
lode up to the time the Crown
Point Belcher and Con-Cal Bo-
n nanzas were uncovered. 1t is a
very wonder of the world in
min ing. All the new camps are
showing up grandly- Fairview;
Wonder, Seven Troughs, Yering-
ton, Round Mountain and many
others. At old Silver Peak the
O,Meara brothers have complet-
ed and set in motion a ten
stamp mill, the Pittsburg-Silver
Peak company has 100 stamps
ready to drop, if they are not
already at work, and another 100
stamp mill is ordered, construc-
ton to begin as soon as the first
100 stamps are in regular mo-
ton. The ore is free gold and
will yield from SIT up in the
mill. 1t is expected that the
two mills will reduce 1000 tons
per day for several genera
tions to come.
The Glasgow and Western
company has been perfecting its
works at Golconda and perhaps
have more ore developed thar
any other company in the West

New Tanks to
Be Placed
Water Company Will In
stall New Reserve
Tank Immediately

The Pioche Water company
have at last begun to exhibit
that enterprise in the manage
ment Of its affairs for which
this community has been wait
ing for a long time. 1t has been
a fact of common knowledge for
years past, the reserve tanks on
the hill were inadequate to hold
anything like the supply of
water that the fire protection of
the town would necessitate. At
last, realizing this themselves,
the water company has decided
to install new tanks. This is a
move in the right direction and
demands our congratulations.
This town is so situated and the
water system so advantageously
placed, that we can with
proper care and fixtures be as
sured of one of the finest protec-
tions from loss by fire in the
country.
Again there is some money ac-
cumulating to the credit Of the
town fund, the fire commission
ers should get some new hose
and also pay its proportion, as
per agreement existing between
the town and the water COM
pany, toward repairing some of
the mains throughout the town.
Money expended along this line
is done so judiciously and works
to the benefit of every property
owner in our midst. In town
composed of lumber buildings,
when a fire system is needed all,
necessity demands that it be in
perfect repair, for on this alone
hinges the saving the town from
annihilation by fire.

at work and on the sulphide ores
is the cheapest and most perfect
thing ever invented. Some very
rich gold developments have been
made in northern Elko county.
The money congestion has pre-
vented so far the intended work
at old Tuscarora.
Great development work has
been going on in Ely, Yerington
and the southern districts, Rhyo~
lite and the others; a great deal
of work is going on in the Deep
Creek country, while old Phoebe
is passing through the JOY and
sorrow of a second birth. Col.
MacSherry is opening up his
mines and building a mill, Ed
Prudential, at the head of q
big company, is helping to res
urrect the old place and the peo-
pie are jubilant.
The Western Pacific railroad
is pretty well completed across
! the state and will be ready when
the tremendous work in the can
yon of the north fork of Feather
river shall be completed for con-
nection to make another through,
splendid continental road. The
immense tract of reclaimed land
southwest of Hazen, is being
swiftly settled up, a most i'm
portant addition to Nevada farm
ing. Her livestock interests
have been unusually prosperous
this year, the feed on the ranges
having been better than for
many previous years.
The Clark road has pushed
branches to Phoebe and Goldfield.
In mining and other industries
the past year may be said to
have been a year more of
achievement, but the state is al
ready now, and when two or
three extraneous difficulties shall
have been passed, the record
that it will make viii be an as
tOnishing one.

free from the exposure that with
the best of good luck the miner
does not have; and that laborer
is more capable than the aver
age who can average eleven
months throughout the year.
When we consider these things,
we find that the conditions are
vastly different.
The mine operators promise
that they will make an effort to
have the cost of living reduced.
In this we doubt if they can be
successful. Business men whom
we have interviewed maintain
that they are making no more
than a reasonable profit. No
more th.sn any man would ex-
pect from the investment of his
money.
1t is urged that the proposed
wage scale is about the same
that has been accepted in Park
City. Compare the prices of
living in the two communities
and then consider the consis-
tency of this argument.
No, we earnestly believe that
the present wage scale is fair;
as low, if not lower, than any
camp in Nevada. True, the op-
orators may have difficulty in
marketing their ore, and it may
be burdensome to continue oper-
ations, and while we would dis
like to see the suspension of op-
erations would say, in the name
of justice, do not crush the la
boring man to satisfy the arbi.

Carson Mint
May Reopen
Receipts Larger Than They
Have Been For Many
Years

So much gold is being sent out
from the United States mint at
Carson that a congestion has re-
suited and to remedy it the treas
ury department is now making
arrangements to have the old
coinage house at the capital city
reopened on a coinage basis. To
insure this an appropriation from
congress is necessary and Con-
gressman Bartlett will be asked
to introduce a bill asking for
sufficient money to begin opera
tions.
This news was brought to
Reno a short time ago. 1t means
that the mines of Nevada are
producing so much bullion that
even the government has found
it impossible to handle it. 1t
also throws a new light on the
financial situation, showing as it
does that the country actually
has more real money now than
at any time for many years.
The receipts at the Carson mint
for November were larger by
more than $1,000 than for the
entire year of 1904. During
November. Superintendent Col
cord sent $125, 900 in gold from
Carson to the mint in San Fran
cisco. Even then he did not re-
duce the amount on hand and
was compelled to send a large
amount to the mint at Denver.
Gold is still pouring in, and
for the month of December it is
believed the receipts will exceed
by far any IL months since the
Carson Mint was closed to coin
age.
These conditions have pre-
vailed in face of the fact that
most Of the producing mines Of
Nevada have been closed down.
Conditions will be even worse
with the reopening Of all the
properties at Goldfeld and the
starting of the several mills now
nearing completion in the differ
parts of the state. These facts
are known by the treasury Off
eials at Washington and for that
reason the movement to reopen
Nevada's mint has been started.

Much Freight
In C. & P. Yard

A great amount of freight is
being hauled over the G. & P.
road. Several carloads of lum-
Der have recently been delivered.
Some for the California Phoebe,
Boston-Pioche and Shelton Lum-
ber company. Three carloads
of coal are in the yards and
Hammond & Fuller are receiving
several carloads of wood for
local use. This wood is being
hauled from a peint between
Panaca and Caliente and every
assurance is given that no short
age in the fuel line will occur
this winter. And also quite a
number of cars of merchandise
and other articles have arrived
for delivery to our local mer-
chants.

We believe, considering the
present price Of commodities,
that the proposed action Of the
mine owners in the lowering of
the wage scale, is i'll advised.
1t will occur to a reasonable man,
that in instances where a labor
ing man is compelled to pay
from twenty-seven to thirty five
dollars per month for board and
from ten to fifteen dollars per
month for room rent, that he
can but barely subsist on the
wages offered. This applies
alone to single men.
How much more burdensome
must it be for the supporter of
a family, whose little ones must
be clothed, and in whose family
there occurs, from time to time,
sickness, which necessitates med
ical attention with its attendant
costs? Ask any of the men who
have supported a family in this
community for years past and he
will frankly explain the weary
some and uphill work that it is.
to keep them in anything like a
comfortable manner on less
wages than is being paid today.
We have heard the assertion
made by some, who are at pres
ent occupying clerical positions,
that it can be done; but do these
same people consider that they
have a great advantage over the
person who is employed in the
mine.
In the former position they are

Achievements
of Year 1907
The Closing Year Has Been
Kind to Phoebe

This will be the last issue we
present to our readers before the
holidays. With it, we wish to
extend the compliments of the
season to our many patrons and
thank the local public for the
support we have received at
their hands, during the year now
drawing to a close.
The year of 1907, has been one
of much promise for "old Pi-
oche," during which, we have
seen consumated that desire
which has reigned paramount in
the mind of every person inter-
ested in her welfare, the COM
pletion of the railroad. Had it
not been for the cloud cast by
the present financial furry, we
would now be in the midst of
one of the greatest periods of
activity Pioche has known. This
condition is fast clearing.
We have, during the past year,
demonstrated the existence Of
voluminous ore deposits never
dreamed Of in the former work.
ings, which needs but the tran
sition from the drifts, the shafts,
dumps and ore bins to the cars,
thence to be transported to the
reduction plants and return its
precious metals to forge the
camp ahead. And this will GER
tainly occur when the smelters
again resume operations under
normal conditions and pay the
producer a fair price for his
metal.
Altogether. the closing year
has been one of much promise,
greater achievement and a vast
amount of preparation. May we
be able during the new year Of
1908, and those to follow to real
ize these expectations to the
fullest extent.
There stands nothing in the
way of such a realization, every
thing bids fair for its success,
unless it be a slight cloud in the
labor horizon. Let us fervently
hope that sober, sound and ma
ture judgment will control along
these lines in all instances.
Phoebe has prospered under the
adversely Of improper transpor-
tation facilities. No complaint
has been made as to the cost of
these operations. With this
condition obviated, why not let
conditions remain as they are,
we believe it to be the wisest
course to pursue.
We conclude by extending to
our readers and friends a wish
for a merry Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.
