Nevertheless, some good ball
playing was seen and it could be
said that it was more spectacu-

team work. Sheets at short

best for the visitors; the home
team playing a fairly consistent

did Fitzpatrick who succeeded
him. Manly at short was good.
Patterson at third. was in the
game all the time, Abbott at
second covered the plate very
well and Pearson at first stopped
all that came his way. In the
field Ronnow, McSherry and
Werk handled everything that
went out of the diamond. Nc
Farland behind the bat played a
good consistent game; while the
batting of Ronnow was far su-
perior to any other man on either
team. Frank Walker officiated

as well as determining that some
OF the ladies' are quite proficient
in this form of exercise. Three
different relays competed, driv-
ing against time. Miss Mamie
Wheatley secured the prize, driv-
ing two nails in Is seconds, Mrs.
Orr was second, her time being
16 3-4 seconds and Miss Ladd
third, 18 seconds.
The tug of war between the
married and single men proved
to be a snap for the benedicts,
taking the single men over the

The tug of war between the

not possessing sufficient nerve to
try for the honors when they
saw the formidable array Of

noon between Phoebe and Cal

FOURTH At Pt0chE
WAS BEST EVER

The Fourth Of July celebration
at Phoebe was great success in
every particular, and from the
time the word was given to start
the drilling contest until the last
strains of Home, Sweet H ONE
were played by the orchestra at
the dance, everyone seemed to be
having a good time. There were
a number of visitors from the
outlying districts, which tempor-
arily swelled the population of
Pioche to a considerable number.
The first event of the day was
the drilling contest, there being
six teams contasting for the
honors: Pearson and Deck, from
the Ohio-Kentucky and Nevada
Des Moines mines; Keisler and
Campbell, from the No. 5 Shaft;
Carter and Empy, from the No.
l Shaft; Frandsen and Marquard-
son, from the Bristol-Pioche at
Bristol; Austin and Rollins, from
the Boston-Pioche and Ping and
Mills, from the Last Chance at
Highland. The officials were

Leaders Drill
Through Rock

At the conclusion of the drill
ing contest on the Fourth a chal-
lenge was issued by Carter and
Empy to drill the winning team
for the sum of $3.50 which was
promptly accepted by parties
backing Pearson and Deck. A
match was made and the contest
was to be Friday evening. The
two teams appeared Friday even
ing and drew for places with the
result that Pearson and Deck
were to drill first. They started
in and it was apparent to all
spectators that this team was in
better form than they were on
the Fourth, Pearson being first
class in his changing of the
drills and Decks striking was
great. This team drilled through
the rock; the drill becoming fast
in the hole, and new one was

The first prize of $3.50 and all
entrance money, this amounting
to $50, was captured by Pearson
and Deck, they having to their
credit 10 7-22 inches at the end
of the fifteen minutes. These
two showed very good team
work and were very quick on
the changes. Austin and Rollins
received the second prize of $50,
being the nearest competitor of
Pearson and Deck, having drill
ed 13 1-32 inches, Carter and
Empy drilled 10 10-16 inches,

der the direct supervision of the
county commissioners, by virtue
of the law of 1881 as amended
in 1888, that gaming licenses
collected in these towns shall be
placed in the county treasury, to
be by the treasurer apportioned
into town fund for the use and
benefit of the town where COL
lected.
AS the towns in Lin coin county
stand at present, Delamar is the
only one which is entitled to this
money. Phoebe, Caliente, Las
Vegas and Searchlight are loos-
ing from four to five hundred
dollars monthly, because of the
fact, that they have never taken
steps to have ordinances drafted
and enacted by the board of
county commissioners. This is
a very important matter, and we
would urge upon the citizens of
Phoebe that prompt action be
taken Immediately, for the
amount of money collected here
monthly could be used to great
advantage, instead of the greater
portion of the same going to the
state as is at present the case.
The procedure for the enact
ment of the required ordinances
bring the town under the super
vision of the county commission
ers is very simple, and a great
deal more economical than the
incorporation act. 1t is as out
lined by the statute of 1881 and
as amended in 1888, to present
to the board of county commits
sioners petition signed by a
of the resident taxpay-
ers, asking that the town govern
ment be established and accom-
panied by a list of ordinances
consistent with the powers
conferred on the commissioners
as enumerated in Cuttings Com
piled Laws, asking for their en-
actment. For the ordinance to |
then become effective, they J
must be passed and by an afir-
native vote of the commission
ers and published in newspaper
nearest the town in which the
ordinances are to be in force for
the term of one week.
Now citizens of Phoebe wake
up to this fact. Some leading
owners call a meeting, !.
get petition and secure signers,

and the showings made were
considered very good, when the
hardness of the rock and It's pro-
pensity to eat up drills are taken
into consideration.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
After the conclusion of the
drilling contest, the people re-
paired to Lacour street, where a
grand stand had been erected
and open air exercises were con-
Quoted. The national airs were
well rendered by the band and
chorus. Mrs. ]. D. Campbell,
assisted by the chorus and Prof.
Sleek, very pleasing rendered
the Star Spangled Banner.
Prof. Sieck's violin solo was

and called for an encore.

actual drilling, and more rf,an
a minute was lost in an attempt
to remove the first drill.
The second team, Carter and
Empy, at first refused to drill,
contending that the drillers must
remove the drill from the hole
or loose the contest. A great
deal of excitment was created by
this refusal and it looked for a
few moments as though free
for all would be the climax, how
ever, after an hour or two dis
cussion, the second team agreed
to drill against twenty-one in
ches, this being less than the
actual amount made by the first
team and the contest will be
pulled off this evening.

operation yesterday they have found the only
means of enectually terminating the speculation in

chased their tickets yesterday in the regular way
