Clark and
Heinze Party

Mr.. William A. Clark Jr. ac-
complained by his brother-in-law
Mr.. Lauzier, Mr.. Ryan, Mining
Engineer and Mr.. Frank repre-
senting F. Augustus Heinze all
of Butte, Montana, arrived here
Monday morning, and proceeded
to the E. & F. Mining properties
situate in the Bristol Mining
District with a view of making
an examination Of same. The
party returned here Tuesday
evening and left for Salt Lake
City, early Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Clark expressed himself as
feeling confident that the Phoebe
& Caliente Railroad would be
constructed as speedily as possible
and had not the elements inter-
vened work on same would have
been fully begun ere this. Mr..
Clark expressed himself as con-
fident that Pioche would again
rank among the great producers
and that in all probability he will
pay us a visit again shortly.

Victor and
Apex Bonded

Phoebe was favored with a
visit from DR.. Harry A. Mcdonald
of Boston, Mass, recently and
from what the Record can learn,
the results of said visit are likely
to make themselves felt in the
mining circles of this place.
The gentleman succeeded in
securing options on some very
promising property here, among
the most promising being the
VICTOR owned by Messrs.
Henry Welland ard Joseph Foster
of Phoebe. Upon the Victor Mr..
Mcdonald secured an option for
the term of sixty days, the pur-
chase price to be Five Thousand
Dollars, first payment to be made
on or before the fifteenth day of
March. This claim has an excel
lent surface showing and from
development already had, promis-
es to increase in value with
depth. At present the develop
ment work consists of two shafts,
one to depth of fifty feet and
the other to a depth of 81 feet,
good showings of mineral being
found in each, with veins of ore
carrying an average value Of Qne
Hundred and Fifty dollars.
Silver being the predominatine
metal.
Another good option secured
was on the Apex claim situated

W. S. Anderson
Locates at Pioche

w. S. Anderson one of our
most progressive and energetic
mining men came in from the
Southern States recently, where
he has been boosting in the inter-
ests of Pioche, he was accompani-
ed by DR.. Thomas N. Baker, of
Macon, Georgia. The Doctor is
here with a view Of looking over
and getting interested in the
many good things in a mining
way we have to offer. He to-
gether with Mr.. Anderson, after
viewing this place intend to go
by way of teams to Ely, thence
to a camp in the immediate
vicinity, the name of which we
were enable to learn, where they
contemplate the erection of a
large smelling plant. Mr..
Anderson intends to return very
shortly and make this place his
permanent residence thus being
enabled to look after his interests
here more carefully. He is a
large stockholder in the Nevada
Des Moines Company who are
operating below town with such
great promises of success, (Mr.
Anderson having promoted this
Company and upon his return
we may look for something do
ing at his different properties.

speedy and systematic
development of the same, it
being the intention that as
soon as the desired depth is
reached to cross-cut ii 4
northerly and southerly di-
rection from Che shaft thus
reaching the dykes within a
very few feet. Of the value
Of this dyke as an ore pro-
ducer, little need be said
when the fact IS taken into
consideration chat it is an
extension Of the one upon
which is situated the famous
Yuba and Yuba East mines.
The Boss is an extension of
the latter, sidelining it on the
East, and the knowing
ones" do not hesitate to say
that it will surely be a win
ner.
The work is under the
direct supervision Of Mr..
Chas. Lee Horsey as General
Manager. Mr.. Horsey has
been the local representative
Of the Company for some
time in the capacity of At
torney, and it is largely due
to his efforts, together with
the never firing and get
there methods of Mr.. Chas.
S. Miller of Boston, Mass,
that the present work is
made possible. Mr.. Miller
has exhibited an undying
faith in this District from
the first visit he made here
and the Record believes that
it can predict for Mr.. Miller
and his Company success of
the most gratifying kind.
The Company have also
been fortunate in securing
the services Of Mr.. VIM Lloyd
in the.capacity of Consulting
Engineer. Mr.. Lloyd pos
sesses a knowledge Of this
District, which has enabled
him to add numerous pro-
ducers to our extensive list
and he certainly believes that
+. the present undertaking will
be no exception.

The Boston
Phoebe Co.
Three Hundred Foot Shaft Started on the
"BOss" Property.

This Company has inaugu-
rated an extensive campaign
Of development work upon
its holdings in this district,
which holdings extend along
the entire mineral belt
reaching from Stampede Gap
to the Alps Mine east Of
town. Plans have been
perfected and the work al
ready begun for the sinking
of a double compartment
shaft upon the Boss claim,
which is situated about one
quarter of a mile East of
Phoebe and it is the intention
of the Management to sink
the shaft to a depth sufficient
to fully develop and explore
the property, and we feel
safe in asserting that taking
into consideration locality
and formation before any
great depth is attained this
property will be counted
among the great producers
of the camp.
Two shifts arenoW employ
ed at the property, and the
work is to be prosecuted
with all possible speed con-
sistent with intelligent and
systematic mining. Timber
ing is to be followed in such
a way as win ada perman-
ancy and safety to the work
ing of the shaft. At present
three car loads of Washing
ton timber have been receiv-
ed at Caliente with several
more en- route and it is being
hauled to the property as
fast as needed. The shaft
is to be an incline, two com
partments of the dimensions
of five by four and one-half
feet each, with the provision
that a third can be easily
added if needed, it is situat-
ed midway between two
we'll defined porphyry dykes
which traverse the entire
property and the position of
the shaft will facilitate a

Nevada-Utafl
Operations

The Nevada-Utah Mines and
Smelling Corporations are con-
tinuing their work Of recon
struction in the same substantial
and permanent manner as has
been their policy from the begin
ming of operations. At the No.
5 they have reached a depth of
twelve hundred and seventy-fve
feet in the work of -timbering,
with comparative progress in
the No. l. A contract has been
let in the No. 5 for the running
of a drift from the 1000 foot
level toward the porphyry dixie,
which said contract is being
worked with all possible speed
two shifts being constantly
employed.
Air compressors have been
ordered and will shortly be in
stalled for use III the different
shafts. Boiler houses are being
built, boilers erected and larger
engines being installed, thus
paving the way for the working
of the mines upon a large scale
as soon as timbering is completed.
1t can be easily discerned that
the above corporation is a gigan-
tic one when the fact is taken in
to consideration that not alone in
Phoebe District but in several
others they are carrying on
development and other work up
on a large scale. At the Comet
situate in Beaver County an ex-
tensive campaign of development
is under way. This property
adjoins the famous Cactus owned
and controlled by Mr.. Samuel
Newhouse.

The following taken from the
Bingham Press of a recent issue
explains the operations of the
Nevada Utah in that camp.
The Nevada Utah mine, under
the able supervision of Mr.. Nor
ris P. Kirk, is rapidly coming to
the front and proving itself to
be one of the best in the camp of
big mines. The new mill will be
in full swing before the twen-
tieth reducing 125 tons a day of
extra good grade milling ore for
which this property is noted.
The mill is equipped with Jigs
and Willy tables and all the
latest appliances for crushing
and handling this particular class
of ore. Unlike the most of its
neighbors, the Utah Nevada so
far is worked strictly as a silver
lead proposition and with the
high price for lead and the re-
cent advance in silver, no prop
erty has a better future than
the Nevada Utah. With an
abundance of water from the
main working tunnel to run the
mill and the ore dumped from
the mine cars into the crushers,
the cost of milling has been re-
duced to a minimum and the ore
is of the best grade of any ever
milled in the camp. The motive
power will be electricity which
will do away with the annoyance
of the present coal shortage. In
side the mine an even greater
transformation has taken place.
The British Tunnel which is the
main working tunnel, has been
retimbered and put in frst-class
working order and the levels
from this to the surface have
been opened up and a great
amount of development work
done opening up great bodies of
high-grade silver-lead ores, a
good percentage of which is
shipping ore and every available
place is filled with this, waiting
for the road to open sufficient to
get it away. Four shafts are
being operated from the British
Tunnel level at widely separat-
ed points and all of them are in
ore, showing that the ore is
distributed over a large area Of
country. No effort as yet, has
been made to develop the copper
bearing ground on this property,
but from its location and the
surface indications this is only a
question of development. Al
present sixty-five men are on the
payroll and this will be increased
as room is made to work to adj
vantage.

A. F. Schneider, General
Manager of the Nevada-Utah
Mines and Smelter Corporation
came in from Salt Lake City
during the week to look over the
Company's properties at this
place.

of the same character as that
found above. Drifting on the
ore body continues to determine
its length along the strike.
About 5000 tons of $40 ore is
blocked out, and by July when
the Caliente and Pioche Rail-
road expects to establish a station
at Panaca which will be the
nearest R. R. point to the mine,
double this am)lnt will BE- block
ed out. While most of the work
that has been performed in the
past five months has been in the
development of the No. l claim,
still work to some extent has
also been done on the others with
the result that No. 2, 3, and 6
show parallel fissures ID No. l
carrying gold, silver and lead
values, and No. 4 and 5 silver &
lead values. From its present
showing the Elmer group will be
a heavy shipper as soon as the
railroad is ready to transport
ores.
Lyndon Group.
The Lyndon mines among the
best that have been developed in
the district have been disposed
of to Los Angeles parties who
have formed a corporation called
the Lyndon Mining Company.
The mines were located by Owen
Smith and E. F. Freudenthal in
1893 and a great deal of develop
ment work has been performed.
Approximately $25, 600 of ore has
been shipped, and at a time
when the terminus of the rail-
road was at Milford making the
haul 1870 miles and the cost per
ton to that point $50. Only
high grade ore was shipped, the
rest going into the dump; and
to determine the value of the
dump, six carloads were shipped
last year from the dump without
sorting just shoveled into
wagons loose hauled to Caliente
and by rail to Salt Lake Smelter.
The lot weighed over 100 tons
netted $20per ton. The property
is one of much merit and is sure
to bring the investors in time
good strong dividends on the
money invested. Lumber, sup
plies, etc are now being purchas-
ed by the Lyndon Company.
GonzO1 Group.
The Gonzol group, consisting
of five claims, owned by Samuel
! NeWhouse and E. F. Prudential
have an exceptional fine showing.
The assessment work for 1906
was completed in December and
a fine showing of iron, lead and
silver ore is opened up on the
Gonzol claim, the main one of the
group. 1t is the intention of
the owners to develop the pro-
perty on a more extended scale
shortly.
Peaslce Group.
Mr.. J. H. Peaslee has also a
fine group of four claims upon
which he has done considerable
development, and intends to
shortly resume operations. He
has just disposed of a claim that
joined the Gonzol group owned
by Newhouse and Prudential
to Mr.. w. S. Anderson of Salt
Lake City for $1,000 cash.
Miscellaneous.
The Curry brothers have q
group of three claims upon which
they have the location work per-
formed. Mark Church has a
fine group of claims upon which
a great deal of development work
has been done. Considerable ore
has been shipped in past years
from them. He is at present
working them.

in the Ely Mining District and
owned by Joseph Foster and
Cyril Del Curto. A shaft to
depth of one hundred and fifty
feet has been sunk on this
property, with cross-cuts run
ming east and west from the
one hundred foot level, ore being
found in the different places.
The character of ore encountered
resembles very much that taken
from the No. 8 Shaft, which has
a record as an extensive high
grade ore producer. The main
vein in the Apex shaft is about
four feet in width carrying good
values for the entire breadth.
We ascertain from responsible
authority that it is the intention
of the purchasing parties to
commence work on these proper
ties within a very short time.
