I shall attempt to tell you what 1t is. You have, as one of your citizens, a man who pos sesses the broadest idea of public improvements and the highest ideal of Christian education of any man in this great state of ours, a man that was always ready to em- phasize his high ideal by being on hand with his cash whenever the demand was apparent to him that Conway must occupy higher edu- cational ground. Although he has lived out his three score years and ten l am proud to say that grand old Christian gentleman is enjoying good health and is as SUD- pie as tbe great majority of men who are much younger than he. I allude to Capt w. w. Martin. When the great God shall call him to his reward 1t will be your loss, not his. If you fail to erect a monument to hit memory when he shall have quit the walks of men you will fall far short of your duty and assume the role of the un- grateful. But, my friends, 1 do not know that it makes any difference, because he has already erected a monument that is higher and broader than you can build. The. monument he has built is as high as heaven itself and as broad as. the universe. By his great phil anthropy he has made it possible for thousands of noble boys and pure girls to come to Conway and drink at the fountain of knowl-- edger
 You have another citizen whom l desire to mention before I leave. the floor. l can see that he will take up the work that will be laid down by Captain Martin. That man can be classed as purely the product of Conway. Twenty wears. ago when he started out with his. hammer and saw, poor boy lit- tie did l think that by his hard work and honest dealings he could have accomplished what he has in, such a brief period. He is now~ what eau be classed as a financial success. Those who knew him then knew that he possessed inc energy and intelligence sufficient to accomplish anything that he starts to accomplish.

MIzPAH CAMP
READY TO BOOM
DISTRICT NORTH OF ELY Is DE-
CLARED TO HAVE EXCEP-
TIONAL MERIT

81 don't believe that people gen
orally have much of an idea of the
wonderful richness and extent of the
mineral belt that goes to make up
the Mizpah district in the Antelope
range, eighty-six miles north of Ely"
said H. H. Mcintyre upon his ar
rival from camp. There have been
reports of strikes and deals and con-
siderable interest has been taken in
the camp by Ely and other Nevada
people, with a small sprinkling of
outsiders. l have been going over
the camp thoroughly and l want to
say now that the day is close at hand
when the district will make more
noise and show bigger results than
most any camp in the state of Ne
vada.
"Mizpah is only six miles from
Spruce Siding, a station on the Ne
vada Northern railroad, and it is
about twenty-five miles south of the
point where the Western Pacific, now
building from this city, will cross the
Nevada Northern line. AS the lat
ter road proposes to build to Ely it is
only a matter of a short time until
the district will enjoy connection with
both lines and be closer to Salt Lake
than is Ely by not less than sixty
miles. There is lots of water in the
district from innumerable springs.
There is spruce pine in abundance.
The district adjoins the already we'll
known Dolly Warden district, in
which many Salt Lakers have been
operating for years.
There has been a tremendous
porphyritic upheaval in this district
and for a distance of ten to fifteen
miles in a northwesterly and south
easterly direction this tremendous
dyke is easily ~traceable. 1t general
ly shows a strong iron Gaping, and,
while the lodges along its course and
the intricate system of cross-fissures,
show their chief mineral characters
tics in gold and silver, there is every
reason to believe that at depth ire
mendously large deposits of rich cop
per ore will be encountered. The
latter metal shows now iH\all places
where the teaching process has beer
incomplte, and when the water leve,
or sulphide zone is reached the rec
metal will be found redeposited ant
in compact masses.
What the camp needs now is the
infusion of capital to make work or
a large scale possible. There are any
number of properties that can bt
made self-supporting with the install
lation of machinery and good man.

PIOCHE CAMP IS
TO THE FRONT

Phoebe is highly elated over the
prospects for the early completing of
the line of railroad that will connect
the camp with the outside world.
The general rush into the diggings
has completely swamped the hotels
and restaurants. Nevada prospec-
tors, with their strings of burros and
camp paraphenalia are swarming
over the hills and there is more life
in that region than has been wits
messed in thirty years.
Joseph S. Free. the well known
Phoebe operator, came to Salt Lake
and it was from him that this infor-
nation was obtained. He stated,
also, that the contracting outfit had
nearly all of its camp equipment and
material assembled at Caliente, and
he was told by Mr.. Mendenhall that
ground would be broken and the
work of building the twenty-eight
miles of road would soon be in full
swing.
Mr.. Free said the contractors
wanted to correct the published
statement to the effect that, owing
to the washouts and destruction of
many miles of the Salt Lake Route
in the Meadow Valley wash, the ma
terial intended for the construction
of the branch line to Phoebe had been
diverted and used in repairing the
main line. A few ties had been
used and some old rail had been
taken down the line for use in rip
rapping the washed-out portions of
grade. That was all. The contrac-
tors estimate that there is enough
material, ties, rails, fish plates and
everything required to lay the track,
to cover the distance from Caliente
to Panaca. which is about twelve
miles from Phoebe. Before this can
possibly be used up it is expected
that all the material necessary to
complete the line will be on hand.
I'VE have only one good hotel in
Pioche," said Mr.. Free, "and only
three restaurants. One of these is
conducted by white people and the
other two by Cinnamon. Sleeping
and eating accommodations are at
a premium, though the former neces-
sity is now being provided by the
introduction of tents and cots. The
change in weather conditions has
made this plan feasible, but there
is a mighty good opportunity for
someone to get into camp and build
a big hotel. This might have been
done before, but it costs $45 a thou
sand feet to get lumber into the town
and people have SHE'D at the cost of
erecting buildings on that account.
"It is not going to take more than
sixty to ninety days to complete the
railroad into Phoebe and by that time
the district will be on the boom in
great shape. Many of the proper
ties are ready for heavy production
and there are innumerable prospects
that can be converted into big ship
pers within a short time. If any
body is looking for g%round-fioor
propositions in Phoebe they had not
better delay taking action, for l am
certain that property prices, real
estate prices and everything else, will
be soaring in no time. Phoebe has
got the goods; it can't help but boom
now that railroad connection is as
sured Salt Lake Herald.
