Negro Porter
Tried Assault

M. Davis, negro porter on the
Salt Lake Route, running be-
tween this city and Los Angeles,
was arrested as he alighted from
his train at the local depot at
1856 O'Clock Friday morning,
charged with attempted criminal
assault upon Miss Irma Clawson,
20 years old. the daughter of
Sidney B. Clawson of II Canyon
road.
The alleged assault upon Miss
Clawson occurred on the train as
it was passing through Lincoln
county, Nevada, north bound, at
3 o'clock Friday morning. While
she was asleep, Davis attempted
to enter her berth. She was
awakened and resisted him.
Davis protests that he is inno-
cent. Upon the arrival of the
train here he was taken in
charge by Policeman Emil John
son and placed in Jail.
The alleged assault occurred on
train No. 8. Davis gave his age
at the police station as 32 years.
Miss Clawson's father is con-
nected with the State Dental
depot.
Upon Davis arrest, Penel
Cherrington, local attorney for
the Salt Lake route, got into
communication with the rail-
ways attorney at Caliente, New,
and instructed him to get out
extradition papers for Davis
return to that state, as the
alleged crime was committed
there, and to take steps to pro-
secute the negro to the fullest
extent of the law. = Salt Lake
Tribune, Oct. 9th.
District Attorney Horsey has
has been advised of the above
and has taken steps to insure
the immediate return of the
negro to this county. Horsey
has been advised that the de-
fendant will come without re-
QUESTION and should be in Cal
iente this week when the pre-
liminary examination will be
conducted before Justice of the
Peace Maynard of that place.
The railroad company is de-
termined to prosecute this case
to the fullest possible extent,
which is quite correct under the
circumstances.

Diamond Drill
To Operate
Machine Will Be In Opera
tion Within Ten Days.

V. L. Butler. manager of the
Butler & McKinnon Diamond
Drill Company of Butte, Mon
tana, has been in Pioche the
past week, looking over the
district with a view of detern-
ining the possibilities Of work in
this section with a diamond
drill. Butler stated that the
success met WITH him was far
in excess of his anticipations.
and as a result he has ordered a
drill shipped here immediately.
and should be ready for work
within ten days. The first work
will be done on the Nevada-Des-
Moines property north of town.
Manager Mahedy has been trv-
ing for some time to get a drill
in this section and now that he
has succeeded, will have a larp-
er amount of work done, which
cannot result other than in the
opening of a great property.
Many other companies will fol-
low the lead set by the Nevada
DesMoines and enough work has
been contracted ahead by the
drill company to occupy their
time for at least a year.
The coming of the diamond
drill is an event of unusual sip-
nificance to Pioche. It is an
economical means Of prospect
ing and determing the extent
and value of hidden ore bodies.
1t will enable many claim own
ers of moderate means to locate
their ore bodies at small ex-
pense and know exactly what
they have without the great cost
that is usually attendant upon
such explorations.
That ore bodies of unsual rich
ness exist in nearly all of the
locations of the outlying districts
is confidently believed by all the
mining men hereabouts, and
with the diamond drill to deter
mine same, capital will be forth
coming to properly develop the
mines and take it out. Hence.
many tons Of ore which might
otherwise lie dormant, will be
extracted to add its worth to the
wealth of the world and 90 to-
ward the building of a greater
Phoebe.

More Houses
Are Needed

We would like to urge upon
some individual or corporation
possessing the necessary capital,
the advisibilty of building resi-
dences in Phoebe. Almost every
day inquiries can be heard con-
corning houses to let and it is
impossible in many instances to
get necessary accommodations
along this line. Many of the
men employed here at present
would remove their families to
this point, were it possible to
get houses, and we see no reason
why someone does not take ad-
vantage of this opportunity.

Getting Ready
To Do Things
California Phoebe Will Sink
Their Shaft to 3OO-FOOt
Level

Arrangements are being made
by the California-Pioche Cor
poration for the pushing of the
development work now mapped
out to an early completion. 1t is
the intention of the company to
sink a shaft to a depth of 300
feet, at which depth it is conf
IDENTITY expected that the large
ore body now determined in the
Susan Duster claim, or rather
the continuation of this ore
shoot, will be found.
1t will be remembered that the
California-Pioche property di-
rectly adjoins the Susan Duster
claim of the Ohio-Kentucky Com
pany and has distinctly the same
formation. An ore shoot of con-
siderable magnitude and richness
was encountered in the Susan
Duster at the 300-foot level; and
surface showing would indicate
that the California-Pioche have
this same ore shoot in their
property.
A whim has arrived for the
company and will Immediately
be installed and a gallows frame
which will greatly fa-
cilitate the sinking of the shaft,
has attained a depth of
about 80 feet. Two carloads of
Oregon timber are enroute and
will be used in properly timber
ing the shaft and putting it in
proper condition for permanent
working.
VIM. Wheatley, an experience
ed mining man of this section
and who is a large owner in the
company, is personally super
vlsing the work, which gives as
surance of it's being conducted
in a proper manner. The Cali
fornia-Pioche Corporation is des-
tined to become an important
factor in this district and is at
tracting the attention of outside
capital in no small degree.

bis fathers death placed him in pos
session Of a fortune Of f250,000, and
from that moment he became a con-

did bis chores, and a black cat were
his sole companions. When he visited
his large estates IN the Midlands,

walked unless he could get a lift for

stagecoach, and there he would sit
outside, shivering and dripping, for he
