noted for the immense deposit.
Work has been progressing on
the property for some time and
one of the largest deposits in the
country has been known to exist
there. 1t has been counted upon
chiefly for the tonnage it would
be in a position to furnish. This
latest discovery will make it no
doubt, not only one of the larg-
est producers of metal from the
standpoint of quantity, but also
IN point of richness.
VIM. Lloyd has had the manage
ment of the mine for some time
past, being at one time part
owner of the proposition; and he
has steadfastly maintainened
that the Prince would, with
proper development, become one
OF the greatest mines in this and
the surrounding districts. His
prediction is certainly verified in
the recent discovery. Good,
consistent development, under
the able supervision of VIM. |
Lloyd as manager and Richard |
Chope, foreman has been the
policy from the outset and it
is now beginning to give the de-
sired results.

Notes From
Gold Camp
Development Work Has
Opened Up Ore Bodies

The Pittsburg-Searchlight com.
pany, whose properties are about
two miles from Searchlight, are
doing some extra development
work, and the result of their
labor is in form of a nice ore
body.
Uunder the direction of Chas.
Lund, work will soon commence
on group of claims adjoining the
Philadelphia Those
acquainted with this group of
claims say they are among the
best in the district.
Among the mines that are
showing new ore bodies, can be
listed those under the supervis-
ion of E. ]. Rawson at the Sun
rise camp.
In the Newberry Range, comes
reports that more free gold is
being discovered and the latest
is on the Chicquette mine.
Everybody has about finished
their assessment work for the
year in Searchlight district, and
the results on many claims are
the most fiattering. The condi-
ton of the local bank is not the
best and no doubt a receiver will
be appointed shortly.

Equipment For
Fire Carts
Several Hundred Feet of
New Hose Received This
Week

Several hundred feet of new
hose was received this week for
the Phoebe fire department. This
is something that was needed
and places the department more
in a position to successfully COM
bat any confagrations that may
occur.
Chairman E. F. Prudential,
OF the board of fire commission
ers, informs us that the COM
mlssloners will in the near future
provide lights for both the No. /
and No. 2 hose house, which is
another commendable move. The
arc lights in front of the hose
houses will prove beneficial in
that any person discovering a
fire and not familiar with the
location of the fire alarms will
have no trouble in locating them
and thus, perhaps, save hun
reds of dollars worth of prop-
erty, In the saving of time that
would otherwise be consumed
in locating the fire alarms. The
board of fire commissioners are
moving along the right course,
and with proper support from
the town people and water COM
panty, we will have good fire pro-
lection.

Fernandez Has
Some Good Ore

Chas. Fernandez was in from
the Bristol District to spend
Christmas in Phoebe. Fernandez
has just completed the annual
work on a number Of claims in
that section and states that many
OF them are very promising, and
firmly believes that with proper
development, mines of much
merit would be brought to the
attention of the mining public.
He was exhibiting some very
good looking rock taken from
claims owned by Judge Tai
bot of Carson City and Judge
Brown of Elko. This ore is said
to be very much like that found
in the famous Day mine at
Jack Rabbit, whose qualities
is well known to the local min
ing men.

RIB. The injuredman was hurried
to Salt Lake City and from last
reports seems to be progressing
very favorably.
No motive can be assigned for
the shooting; as the injured man
stated that he had no trouble
with any one, and could assign
no reason why ano person should
make an attempt to take his
life. AT last reports no clew had
been gotten of the fellow sup
posed to have done the shoot
ing.

Annual Work
Being Done
Many Fine Showlngs Un-
covered During It's
Progress.

The annual assessment work
on the many extensive holdings
hereabouts is now about COM
pleted. The manner in which
the work has been done and the
proper legal requirements COM
Piled with to protect titles,
evidences the fact that all are
saguine of the future of the
many claims. And from the
different showings which have
been uncovered, iustifies claim
owners in the belief. Since
the rejuvination of the camp
something like two years ago
many acres of ground have been
staked off by the persistent and
patient prospector. Some of
this had been walked over and
passed up, since the discovery
OF the camp in the early seven
ties. Now this ground is PROV
ing itself to be one of merit and
only needed the boreing of the
drill to bring it to the attention
OF the world. Each year that
the annual work is done adds
more claims of promise and as
capital takes holds of these, as
it is gradually doing, we will
stand astonished at the scope of
the local mineral belt.

county jail at Phoebe. have not
arrived. The time for delivery
in the contract was December
9th. Nothing has been heard of
the shipment and the delay may
mean the forfeiture of some of
the purchase price. Everything
else about the structure is ready

a farm servant declared that IN the
night spirit had appeared to him de-
claring itself to be the ghost OF the
soldier, whose bones, it is said, lay
still unburied. The highlander must
see to their decent interment and
have the murderers, two men named,

Hierapolis Is a strange ruined city
Of Asia Minor. 1t was founded about
200 b. G. and d large part of the place
has been buried BY the petrifying
water Of hot springs The country
round Hierapolis is today infested with
brigands. A traveller who visited the
place under an armed guard Of Turkish
soldiers says: The temperature Of the.
springs is that of q very warm bath
and while hot there is not trace Of
that petrifying element which renders
the waters so remarkable after they
have cooled and causes them to turn to
stone every object they encounter after
very slight immersion. The swimming
bath itself is about fifty feet to sixty
feet in length and in many places from
twelve to fifteen feet deep, and is today
almost as it was in Roman times. The
opportunity to take natural hot bath
was not lost upon the writer. The
floor and sides and steps are of white
marble and the depth varies to suit the
convenience Of the swimmer. Some
great upheaval has brought down the
marble columns which once decorated
the sides Of the bath and they lie across
it in picturesque disorder, some almost
intact, others broken into many frag-
ments.
Zone of the columns has SO fallen
across the bath that its base is exposed
while its slanting top shines cleaning
white beneath the water at depth Of
some ten feet. On this column one can
| lie with ones head out Of water and it
is not possible to imagine bath en-
| joyable under more ideal conditions
The water flows out Of the basin in
many little riVulets and few hundred
yards from its source begins to develop
Its petrifying nature. AS it cools it's
bed becomes white with hard, chalky
substance and no living thing or plant
can resist Its stony grip. The grasses
and leaves which fall into its deadly
waters find their grave upon it's sur
face and the flowers which dip their
heads into the streams turn into petri-
fed images of themselves, counterfeit
