The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1907-05-10

The Democrats carried three of the four
Second Branch Councilmanic districts, the
Republicans carrying one. There are three
holdove Democrats and one hold-over
Republican in this Branch, so that, with
the election of Mr.. Numsen and three
Councilmen Tuesday, the Branch will
have seven Democrats and two Repubh-
cans. The Branch at present has SIX
Democrats and three Republicans.
To the First Branch of the City Coun-
ell the Democrats elect II of their candl-
dates, the Republicans getting seven. This
is a gain of one for the Republicans, who
only have six members of this Branch at
present.
Altogether there were about 80, 800
ballots cast. This is about 1000 less than
were cast at the McLane- Wachter election
in 1908, and the percentage Of the regis
tered vote cast was also trife less than In
the 1903 contest. Because of the greater
interest this year politicians had figured on
a larger vote than in 1903, but both sides
say that they met with unexpected diff
culties in trying to get the vote out Tues
day.

mountain, and with a view of
economical mining and the at
tanning of depth, the owners are
having a tunnel run from the
base of the mountain toward the
shaft. This tunnel has already
been run a distance of seventy
feet, with about one hundred
fifty feet more to run, making in
all a distance of two hundred
twenty feet. When this is ac-
complished, it is confidently
believed. and the indications
would certainly bear out such a
belief, that an immense body of
high grade ore will be encounter
ed. An average value can be
found of fifty per cent lead, four
per cent copper and sixty ounces
in silver. The owners have
turned down some very flatter-
ing offers of late, believing that
at the completion of the tunnel
now being run, the value of
the property will be greatly en-
hanced.

Ben Geske came in from the
Florence group of mines during
the week where he has been
doing some extensive develop
ment work. Mr.. Geske reports
an excellent showing on the
Florence proper. This property
is owned by Mr.. Geske, Henry
Lee and James A. Nesbitt of
this place, and the Boston and
Pioche Mining Company. There
are two shafts sunk upon the
Florence and large ore bodies
carrying marketable values have
been encountered in each. Con-
siderable ore has been shipped
from this property at different
times and has always returned a
profit for the owners. At pres
ent there are about fifty tons of
shipping ore on the dump and a
large amount, while not so rich
as the above, carries good values.
The shaft in which has been en-
countered the large bodies is

M. L. Lee who has had
considerable experience in

is to be placed in active
management of the COM

ergy and business foresight
which he will bring into the

the company success. Thus
another business opportunity
offered here has been taken
advantage of, and there are
many more just as alluring,

Secures
Valuable
Property

Early Sunday morning Mr.. B.
S. Num-, one Of our popular
young business men, was seen
vending his way mysteriously
out of town. AS this was un-
usual 1--WE refer to the hour of his
being around), he was asked by
a representative of this paper as
to his intentions for the day, to
which he did not seem inclined
to answer but preferred to talk
about the weather. However,
we again approached him on his
return, and found him in a very
affable state of mind and wore
the smile that won't come off.
He stated that he had been visit
ing the Highland mining district
in the neighborhood of the Last
Chance mining claim and had
made two cracker jack locations.
The claims are situated between
the Last Chance, now being
operated by E. P. Gordon and
association, and the Highland
Mary group of claims now owned
by S. H. Babbitt of this place
and Simon Bamberger of Salt
Lake City, Mr.. Num- stated
that upon the claims located by
him, there was a well defined
vertical ledge of the same char
acter as that found on those pro.
perties surrounding it, which
have demonstrated their worth
by actual production. An assay
from the surface gave a value o.

gold. Associated with "Bess'

bodies of this district, and states
that he has actually found the
same in place upon these claims.
That the lodges found on the in
termediate claims are veins or
lodges traversing the country
from one dyke to the other.
So firm is Mr. Mahedy's belief
that his theory is correct, he
has together with J. w. Kear-
ney and E. H. Deyling located a
group consisting of eighteen
claims Immediately in the vicin-
ity of the Nevada Des Moines
property upon which he has ex-
pended money in doing location
work and having their property
staked.
We certainly wish the Nevada
Des Moines company the great
est success in their undertaking,
for should a great body of ore
be struck on their claims, it will
mean more in a mining way,
than anything that has ever hap
pened in Phoebe, meaning that
the entire country extending
from the Alps on the East, to
the Point on the West and as
far as Hamlite Flat below town,
will be a perfect network of
claims undergoing extensive de-
velopment work, employing
thousands of men and adding
greatly to the population of the
city of Phoebe.

Midas and

B. |. Christensen, Carl Schmidt
and Matthew Hunter of Phoebe,
recently disposed of their Birth
day, Midas and Millionaire lode
mining claims, situate in the Ely
Mining District and about three
miles in an easterly direction
from Phoebe, to DR.. Thomas N.
Baker and w. s. Anderson.
These claims lie just over the
hill from the famous Alps mine
and are on the famous porphry
dyke. Upon the Millionaire
claim there is a shaft sunk to a
depth of ninety feet which has a
magnificent showing giving an
assay value of eighty-five dollars
in gold, silver and lead. 1t is
the intention to Immediately
crosscut from the ninety foot
level along the vein. For that
purpose whim will be erected
and extensive development un-
dertaken. We learn that DIR.
Baker stated while here that he
proposed spending in the neigh
borhood of Fifty Thousand Dol
lars if need be to properly devel-
op this property.

RECORD MAN
WINS OUT

If there be anyone so dense as
to for one moment doubt the fact
that Phoebe and the surrounding
districts offers many opportuni-
ties in a mining way, we wish to
cite the following as a clinching
argument:
One of the RECORD force, be-
lieving that he possessed the
ability to secure mining ground,
made an attempt this past week,
and sir, he actually succeeded.
Whoever heard of a newspaper
man having enough money to get
hold of anything with merit? 1t
would certainly be impossible in
any other place than Phoebe.
Eugene Goodrich secured a
one-half interest in three claims,
situate in the Highland Mining
District and Immediately ad-
joining the Mendha Group which
has recently been incorporated
and whose stock is receiving a
very brisk sale in this town.
The three locations in which Mr..
Goodrich is interested are called
the ''Snowbound', National,
and "Sego". The Snowbound
adjoins the North Mendha Ex-
tension Mining claim of the
Mendha Group and has a well
defined ledge, carrying good
values. Eugene while he does
not profess to be very expert in
the vocal line, has been practic-
ing some lately, adhering to a
few carefully chosen lines which,
while we do not know the exact
wording, seem to run thusly.

Work on the Nevada Des
Moines property situate on the
fiat Immediately below town is
progressing very satisfactorily
under the able and consistent
management of d. c. Mahedy.
A double compartment shaft is
being sunk and the same is tim
bered in a substantial and work
manlike manner, This shaft is
being sunk upon the Baltimore
claim where the principal work
is being done. Adjoining the
Baltimore the company has the
Baltimore No. l claim.
They are just beginning to en-
counter the solid formation and
expect to strike the porphyry
dyke with each shift. When this
is done it is needless to state that
ore of great richness will be
found. Mr.. Mahedy informs lis
that almost daily, boulders are
found which have a very high
assay value, and he firmly be-
leives that these are only fore
runners Of what is to follow.
Mr.. Mahedy states that the
formation bears out the belief
that extending along the
base Of the mountain in a line
with the point upon which these
claims are situate, is a second
porphyry dyke paralling the one
upon which are the famous ore

TOWNSHIP

Articles of Incorporation of
the Phoebe Realty Com
pany were filed in the Office
of the County Clerk, March
18th. The incorporators
are E. R. Phillips of Panaca
and M. d. Lee and John G.
Brown of Phoebe. The pur-
pose Of the corporation is to
carry on a general real
estate and brokerage busi-
ness. The total authorized
capital stock is Thirty Thous-
and Dollars divided into six
thousand shares of the par
value of Five Dollars each.
Its principal place of busi-
ness is at the corner of Main

ate on same. This townsite
is very likely to become of
much Importance as it is
generally understood that
plans are under way for the
erection of large smelling
plants at Bullionville, to
handle the ores from many
of the important properties
of this vicinity. The plat

Highland
District


is the scene of much activity in
a mining way these days. There
are locations after locations ex-
tending from the old Brewery
site, to the Florence mine, and
the major portion of these are
attracting the attention of capi-
tai who are planning extensive
development work as soon as it is
possible to get started. Space at
this time will not permit any
extended or particular mention
of the many different properties
but we propose so to do, when
sufficient facts can be ascertain
ed.
Among the recent sales of i'm
portance, is that of the Lucky
Boy Group, sold by Jas. B.
Wheeler to William R. Wallace
and Jos. S. Free of Salt Lake
City, Utah. 1t is the intention
of the last named gentlemen to
consolidate this group with the
Demijohn group, by them pur-
chased from Cook, Lloyd and
Osborne, thus creating a group
composed of a number of very
desirable properties. 1t is ru.
mored that Mr.. Wheeler has
succeeded in making a sale of
more valuable property owned
by him in this district, the pur-
chaser being DR.. Harry A. Nc
Donald of Boston, Mass. Details
as to this rumored sale are
meagre and we were unable tC
get the same confirmed or denied.
Another property which is
being worked with much success
is the Last Chance mine owned
| by Henry Welland and Johr
Anderson. E. P. Gordon, F. ],
Mills and Chas. Whaley are
working this property under
lease and bond, and have sue.
ceeded in extracting much valu
able ore, some of which has beer
shipped to the Salt Lake smelters
netting for the lessees a substan
tial profit. 1t is the intention tt
incorporate a company to worl
this property and we believe con
ditions will warrant a ready sal'
of the stock when placed on thu
market.
The Highland Mary, owned b!
S. H. Babbit of Phoebe and Simon
Bamberger of Salt Lake City, ha
a record as a producer of higl
grade ore. 1t is situate near tn
Last Chance mine and the or
occurrences of the two are sim

promise TO realize for the owner
an Independent sGm when they
are fully developed.
The banner property of all the
district is the Mendah group,
which has recently been incor-
porated by Lloyd, Cook and
Osborne, At the time the in
corporation was made, and before
the stock was actually placed on
the market, the people of Phoebe,
recognizing the merits of the
property, made a rush for the
stock and the owners were over
whelmed with applications for
reservations of the same. That
the applicants acted wisely is evil
denced by the fact that the stock
has already doubled in value.
Being frs placed on the market
for the sum of fifteen cents per
share, it is now selling for thirty
cents. The management i S
awaiting the completion of the
railroad, before commencing the
shipping of ore, of which they
already have an immense tonnage
on the dump. They intend, as
a beginner to ship a trainload to
the Salt Lake smelters and then
it is reasonable to presume that
the stock will be valued very
highly. Meanwhile extensive
development work is being done
and meeting with great success.
New bodies of ore are being
opened up on all sides and with
promises of permanency and
depth. A new forty horse power
gasoline hoist has been ordered
which is much needed to handle
the large tonnage, and will be
installed very soon.
/ Ed. F. Prudential, Pioche's
foremost mining man together
with the Manhattan Mining
Company, own a large group OF
claims right at the entrance OF
Stampede Gap, upon which has
been completed extensive de-
velopment that has given the
assurance of permanent and pro
ductive mines. There being a
vertible mountain of iron orr
and high values in the precious
metals being found on the diff
ferent properties.
Jas. A. Nesbitt of Phoebe, anC
Hans Olsen of Caliente, own ;
valuable property which they
have purchased from Rober
Finn. This claim is situate on
the porphyry dyke. and sulphid'
ore, rich in silver and gold has
