was a difficult piece of work,
but is now all but completed.
Other gangs are working in the
Condor Canyon and one this side
of the Delmue ranch.
Officials of the road will not
set any definite time as to when
the work will be completed, but
state that every effort is being
made to maintain the present
force and that no doubt exists
but what the work will be push
ed until Phoebe is reached, in just
as rapid manner as possible.
A station is now established
for the reception of freight at
Panaca and large consignments
for local merchants are billed for
there. Also some of the COM
panies will commence extensive
shipping to that point and it
should present a very busy ap-
pearance until the road is COM
pleted to Phoebe. No regular
passenger service will be INSTALL
ed until the road is completed
and turned over to the operating
department.

Ore Shipped
From Mendah
A Car Load at the Panaca Terminal. Will
Employ All Available Teams.

The Mendah-Neva Mining
Company is one of the first COM
panies in the district to COM
mence shipping ore to the smell
ters. Consistent with the prom
ise of Manager John R. Cook,
that he intended shipping as
soon as the railroad was in a
position to receive freight at the
Panaca terminal. A car of ore
has already left the mine. This
record will be continued, and
should the teams become more
plentiful, much ore daily will be
shipped, as the amount is meas
ured only by the question of
teams.
The Mendah mine proper,
which is the chief producer,
controlled by the Mendah-Ne-
vada company has sustained a
reputation as q producer of much
high grade ore for many years.
1t is what may be termed an un-
prospected mine Its lowest
workings at present are only
seven hundred feet deep and ore
bodies encountered here are of
a greater richness than those
found nearer the surface, estab-
hshing the fact that the ore in
creases in value as depth IS at
tained.
This mine was owned by the

which is under his control, is
showing up remarkably well.
AT present, shipping ore is being
taken from the mine and
each days work substantiates
the belief that it will be a pro-
ducer of no mean quality.
The diamond drill which has
been ordered for the use on the
Nevada-Des Moines property, is
expected next week; upon its
arrival it will be Immediately in
stalled, and thousands of feet of
prospecting will be done within
the year. The diamond drill is
a rapid and accurate means of
prospecting and the results of the
work at the Nevada-Des Moines
will be watched with much in
terest, for upon the result of its
work rests the question as to
whether or not scores of claims
located on the fiat, will employ
the same means Of locating their
values.

Considerable interest is being
manifested of late in the district
lying in the neighborhood of the
Prince mine. Numerous To-
cations have been made and
some of the property is showing
up well. For many years rich
float has been found but no
actual ledge or deposit has been
encountered until Of late. Rich
ard Chope and his brother have
sunk a shaft to a distance of
forty feet, and in the bottom
have encountered a large boulder
carrying values running into the
thousands of dollars. This has
created no little excitement and
all property owners in that Sec
ton are eager to determine the
ledge from whence it came.

Mahedy Elated
Over Rich Find
Ore Averaging $4,000 Per
Ton Found In the
GeOrgia-PiOche.

Superintendent D. C. Mahedy
is very much elated over a new
and important discovery of rich
ore in the Georgia-Pioche proper
ties west of town. Work has
been progressing on these mines
for some time, in the sinking of
a shaft and the values encounter
ed from the surface were encour-
aging. From the forty foot
level, which was the depth of the
shaft when the present company
took control, the values have
been increasing; gradually climb
ing from an average of $1,000
per ton to the present value of
$10O. 90 per ton. The work has
been prosecuted with view of
encountering the contact of por-
phyry and quartzite existing on
the property and the nearer the
contact the higher the values,
confirming the management in
the belief that when the contact
proper has been met, large bodies
of high grade ore will be un-
covered. The recent strike is
within a few feet of the contact
and sinking will be continued
until j. i Is encountered before aRy
drifting will be indulged in.
Upon the return of W. S. An
derson from the east, the ques-
tion of required machinery will
be taken up and that which is
most needed, determined and
forthwith ordered. Mr.. Ander-
son is expected about the first of
September. DR.. Thomas N.
Baker of Columbus, Georgia,
who is the heaviest individual
owner in the Georgia-Pioche
company, will visit Phoebe next
month, accompanied by a num-
ber of capitalists from his state,
and it is certain that when they
have an opportunity of viewing
the magnificent showing on the
ground, great things in the way
of increased work may be ex-
pected.

100 Foot Shaft.

Superintendent Wheeler of the

greatly facilitating the working
of the mine. There are a num-
Der of men working and the
mine is responding handsomely
to the work under way.
An upraise Of 40 feet has been
run to connect with the winze
90 feet deep, thus giving a work
ing shaft of 100 feet in depth.
This shaft will be continued an
additional 100 feet before any
drifting or cross-cutting is COM
menced. At present in the bot
tom of the shaft, a new body of
ore has been encountered, which
carries high values in silver and
copper. Wheeler is thoroughly
familiar with the Highland sec
ton and emphatic in his state
ments that the Last Chance will
develop into great producer
and that before any great depth
is attained

Explosion
Causes Death
G. H. Baker Is Instantly Killed By EXPLODING
Dynamite. Body Horribly MangIed.

Monday night about twelve
o'clock word was bought in town
by c. D. Breeze, that G. H.
Baker had met with an acciden-
tai and violent death by the ex-
plosion of giant powder, at his
camp in Stampede Gap. Tues
day morning. Deputy Sheriff
Walker and o. Bleak, proceeded
to the mine for the purpose of
bringing in the remains and
making an investigation of the
cause Of death.
Upon their return they stated
that at the time of the accident
the deceased was alone, but cir
cumstances pointed to the follow
ing facts: Baker was working
in prospect shaft which was
about four feet deep, and it
seemed he had just finished drill
ing a hole and had gone to pre-
pare his powder for blasting.
The powder and caps were kept
under tree some distance from
the place where he was working.
Deputy Walker believes that
from the way the body was
mangled, he must have been
opening a box of caps, and as he
(Baker) was an inveterate
smoker; must have had a lighted
pipe in his mouth and some of
the fire from the pipe fell into
the caps, causing the explosion.
In addition to the caps, it is
thought about twenty pounds of
powder exploded. The body was
found about fifty feet from
where the explosion occurred and
horribly mangled. The left leg

Lumber Has
Been Shipped
Hammond & Fuller Have
Five Carloads For Yard
at PiOche.

Mr.. Edward Hammond, of the
firm of Hammond & Fuller, re-
turned from Los Angeles last
week, where he has been for the
purpose of ordering lumber for
the yard to be installed by his
firm. Mr.. Hammond informs us
that there are five car loads at
the Panaca terminal of Caliente
& Phoebe railroad at present.
1t is the intention of Messrs.
Hammond & Fuller to make their
yard first-class in every partic-
ular. They will use every effort
to get the best class of lumber
obtainable and keep a full stock
on hand at all times. They will
handle the redwood and Oregon
pine and will be able to deliver
sufficient quantities for all build
ing purposes upon short notice.
In addition. they will have in
their employ a man who knows
the lumber business from A to q,
who will be able to furnish es-
Inmates on buildings. Anyone
desiring to build can be given
the exact quantity of material
needed, and it's cost, by stating
the size and character of build
ing; in this manner they will be
able to save the builder any
waste or additional cost in hav-
ing architects figure on their
buildings. Mr.. McFadden of
Los Angeles, will have charge Of
this line of the business.
Hammond & Fuller are enter
prising business men who are
investing their money for Pi-
oche's interests and deserve to
succeed in the full meaning of
the term.

was blown off, both hands and
the front of the face torn away.
Circumstances would indicate
that the deceased was in a sitting
posture at the time of the explo-
sion.
j. w. Condin had been camp
ing with the deceased, but they
were working a mile apart.
About 2 O'Clock, Mr.. Condin
heard an explosion, but thought
it was a blast. He thought no
more of the incident until he
came from work. about 5 o'clock.
and found that Baker had not
returned, and proceeded to look
for him, with the result that he
found the mangled remains. C.
D. Breeze, who is camped near
by was notified, and came to
town and notified the authorities.
Mr.. Baker has been in Phoebe
for some months and was well and
favorably thought of by all who
knew him. From papers found
among his effects. it is learned
that he was representing some
parties in Seattle, Washington:
being under contract to prospect
for them at a salary of $225 per
month. And he had also told
parties that he had a mother
living in Australia. Also other
papers found gave his address
as London, England.
The remains were laid to rest
Wednesday morning, and the
Seattle friends communicated
with by mail, as it is impossible
to get telegraphic comrlunica-
ton.

Are Surfacing
the Track
Shortage Of Steel Causes Temporary Stop in
Laying Of Rails. Freight Terminal Es-
tablished at Panaca.

The actual laying of steel on
the CGliente and Pioche railroad
has been postponed temporarily.
This is due somewhat to the fact
that steel was scarce, and that
during the time required insget-
ting the necessary amount of
steel. the force could be used to
good advantage in .surfacing the
grade. Surfacing has been go
ing on for some time and fine
progress is being made, the work
having been completed to a
point this side of Yoacham's s
ranch.
The officials of the road state
that they have succeeded in
getting all steel required and
that the continuation of the
track from its present terminal
to Pioche is only a matter of a
few days. The grading force
are working every day and are
getting .sthe grade completed in
advance of the steel gang. One
force is now working in the site
of the old Panaca reservoir,

Phoebe Consolidated Mining Com
pany in 1892, and at the time the
Phoebe smelter was running, fur
nished a large amount of ore
which is very desirable as a fiux.
When the quiet times came the
Mendah mine in common with
all others in the district was
closed down and very little at
tention paid to it for some years.
Along in 1899 or 1900, VIM.
Lloyd, John R. Cook and T. j.
Osborne purchased the mine and
worked it to some small extent,
and at that time shipped some
ore to the Salt Lake smelters,
which netted small returns, ow-
ing to transportation disadvan-
tages. They controlled the mine
until ABOUT q year ago, When a
corporation was formed and the
property taken over.
Much development has been
prosecuted in the last few
months and many large bodies
of ore uncovered and developed,
with the result, that now desir-
able transportation facilities are
at hand, the management is in a
position to market the ore at a
profit, thus realizing for the
stockholders good returns on
their investment by the payment
of dividends.

AGITATORS FIRED.

An effort was made this week
to cause a strike of the employees
of the Butte and Bristol COM
pany at the Ida May mine. From
the facts we have been able to
ascertain it seems that the men
were entirely in the wrong. The
company from the start, paid
$4.25 per day for shaft work and
$3.75 for drift work. Lately the
management started more drift
work and, with a goodly quanti-
ty of booze" aboard part of men
demanded $4.25 for drift work,
and to be even more than fair
the company agreed to pay the
shaft scale of wages until the
drift had been run for distance
OF four sets, but this did not suit
the men, with the result that
they were paid off, and then used
their efforts to keep others from
working.
This trouble was entirely due
to a few agitators and is not
countenanced by organized labor
as will appear by the notice from
the Phoebe miners union, in this
issue. This organization is to be
congratulated on the stand it has
taken. demonstrating that it is
composed of level headed men
whose aim is to deal fairly in all
matters.
The Butte and Bristol has al
ways been considered one of the
fairest in the district SO far as
wages are concerned and have
shown a disposition to deal fairly
with its employees.

Buys Good
Real Estate
Fred L. Winters Invests
Quite Heavily in Phoebe
Real Estate.

Fred L. Winters of Los An
geles, California, has been in
Pioche the past week, and mean
time, has been investing quite
largely in real estate. He pur-
chased, through the M. L. Lee
real estate Office, from Fl. w.
Rand of Portland, Oregon, five
lots on Main street. being lots
"a, 25, 26, q and % in block /,
for a substantial consideration.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Win
ters to improve these lots i'm
mediately, which at present are
vacant. He has decided to erect
an assay Office, which when COM
pleted will be occupied by Lans-
downe & Drill, the civil and min
ing engineers. Mr.. Winters has
also under consideration the
erection of a bottling works, for
the manufacture of soda water
and other soft drinks. He has
been canvassing the situation
with a view of ascertaining the
extent of the market, and should
the same justify the erection of
the plant, he will rush it to COM
pletion. Other enterprises are
being considered and it is fair to
presume that the entire prop
erty purchased will soon be oc-
cupied by large business institu-
tions.
1t is gratifying to see enter
prising men, such as Mr.. Win
ters has shown himself to be,
get property in the business dis
trict. 1t will add immeasurably
to the appearance of the town.
For where now stands a corral,
will be pretentious buildings
with different lines Of Business
therein.

Bristol Con.
Ore Shipments
Returns Made to the Asses
sOr Show Up Well.

The following is a statement
taken from the Bristol Consoli-
dated Company's report as made
to the assessor for the quarter
ending June Both, 1907. The
ore shipped during that time is
divided into lots and the amount,
cost of transportation and reduc-
ton is taken out;
Lot No. l, 67,426 pounds,
gross yield $3,O14.95, transpor-
tation $793.84, reduction $29. 09,
net yield So, 1902.
Lot No. 2, 1888 pounds,
gross yield $1,O77.48, transpor-
tation $297.58, reduction $13.65,
net yield $796. .25.
Lot No. 8, 55,206 pounds,
gross yield 81, 159, 90, transporta-
ton $414.21, reduction $24.5
net yield $72O. O.28.
Lot No. A, 45,81G pounds, gross
yield $2,061.91, transportation
$542.67, reduction $63.27, net
yield 81, 455. 81.
Summing up the foregoing
gives a net yield for the quarter
of $5,134.52. The above is
considered an excellent showing,
when the great cost of transpor-
tation is taken into consideration.
1t by no means represents the
capacity of the mine, but is
merely that which the company
was compelled to ship in order
to provide room for the ore that
is being taken out. We UNDER
stand that the management is
making no effort to extract the
ore on large scale, taking just
enough ore necessary in order
that development may not be
retarded. The Bristol Consoli-
dated controls scme great mines
and we look to see a great in
crease in the statements made in
future.

T. J. Osborne, who might be
termed Phoebe native son and
who has been connected with
her interests during the times of
both prosperity and. adversity,
came in from Salt Lake this
week. Mr.. Osborne has many
interests in this section which
demand his attention here oc-
casionally, and although he has
a palatial residence in Salt Lake
City, he is still pleased to look
upon Phoebe as his home. He
will build an Office on Cedar
street, made necessary by the
fact that he will be compelled to
reside in Pioche more or less, in
order to satisfactorily attend to
his interests.
