Gasoline Hoist

Sinking on the Boss shaft con-

Good Springs
On Improve

Mr.. Joseph M. Kennally has
been in Phoebe the past week,
looking up different records, rel
ative to mining, in the county
recorders Office. Mr.. Kennally
was a resident of Phoebe in the
early 70's and was associated
with her interests at that time.
He has many "reminiscences to
relate of the happenings of that
period and of the happy-go-lucky
methods employed. He is now
residing at Good Springs, this
county, and is managing the
Sagmore mine owned by N. P.

Phoebe Band
Organized

The brass band made a sue
cessful start Sunday afternoon.
Many of the old time players
and some new blood were pres
ent and the circumstances under
which the band was organized
were auspicious. Phoebe can at
present boast of as fine musicians
as can be found in Lincoln
county; and from among their
number we claim to have the
best. This is a move that
should. and will receive the
hearty support of all.
In sizing up the situation, it is
found that a band of from four
teen to sixteen pieces is avail
able, and more musicians COM
ing in all the time. The one
great necessity felt by the men,
bers at present is instruments,
there being more men volunteer
ed for service than there were
instruments to accommodate
them. Right here we want to
suggest to the band, that after
1T shall have perfected its organ
ization, that it prepare and pre-
sent concert at which an ad-
mission fee be charged.
A little over a year ago a con-
cert of this character was given
and was a success, both in a f.
nancial way and as a means of
furnishing an evening of high
class entertainment for the COM
munity. This could be dupli-
Gated with increased receipts
and thus afford ample means to
purchase all instruments neces-
sary. Think this over gentle
men and when in a position, car
ry out the plan and success alone
can attend your efforts.

Golden Eagle
Consolidated

Among the many new COM
panies that have begun opera
tions in this district, is the
Pioche Mines Company; they
have in hand the property once
owned by Henry Welland and
John Bingham of Phoebe, and
while the former owners re-
ceived a very fair consideration
at that time, the company, with
the development work as out
lined, and which will be prose-
cuted this season, hope to open
up a mine that will be a strong
shipper.
On the Golden Eagle Consoli-
dated claims on which work is
being done at present, under the
direction of Mr.. Ed E. Weston,
raising on a winze is going ahead
very rapidly and it is expected
that about so feet more work
will be required to reach the
point now in view, which will
demonstrated that the fiat leads
go down when they strike the
the contact fssure. A whim will
be erected for the purpose of
sinking, and a 800 foot shaft
sunk. Mr.. Weston says that
this property has the merits of
making one of the biggest mines
in the camp"

Recorders
Office Has
Extra Rush

The county recorders office
continues to present a very
busy appearance. A force of
three is constantly employed re-
cording and filing. Recorder
Lee states that at times the
work comes in with such a rush
that it requires all of one per-
sons time to keep it filed.
This speaks well for the gen.
eral business condition of the
county, for in this Office a good
idea can be gained as to the con-
ditions in each particular section.
OF course, mining is the para
mount industry. This is found
to flourish in every section.
Take it in the lower section of
the Muddy Valley for instance.
This part has been looked upon
as strictly agricultural, but nu-
merous rich copper mines are
being discovered. A few miles
below st. Thomas, there are
Copper City, Gold Butte and
others which have very recently
come to the attention of the
mining public and from this Sec
ton there are many mining To-
cations, mining deeds and real
estate deeds are recorded. The
Searchlight section is holding it's
own in the matter of mineral
locations and real estate trans
actions. This section has long
been in the lead in the number
of these instruments executed.
District Recorder Doherty being
constantly employed and requir-
ing assistance in keeping apace
with the work Liled up.
Phoebe and surrounding dis
tricts are looming up close sec
ond to Searchlight. Each month
finds a greater number from
these places, and should the in
crease continue, which there is
every evidence of, it will soon
lead.
And so it may be said of the
entire county. Delamar is COM
ing forward with new and rich
discoveries in entirely virgin ter
ritory which has never been
worked before; also Las Vegas
section, and so it may be seen
that Lincoln county has only
felt the advance guard of thats3
great wave of prosperity which
is certain to come this way.
Thus far, during the month of
June, there have been filed for
record, 264 mining notices, 16
deeds, II real estate
deeds and numerous other in
struments.

FOURTH OF JULY
AT PIOCHE

The different committees for
arranging the Fourth of July
celebration are busily engaged
perfecting their plans. The
sport committee held a meeting
Sunday evening and arranged a
program of sports which will be
creditable and which we print
in full.
The drilling contest and base
ball game will he the leading
features and will furnish amuse-
ment for our own people, as well
as being an inducement for our
sister towns to come and join
with US in the celebration. The
success that has met the efforts
of the finance committee is ad-
mirable, and protrays the proper
spirit as being with the people.

ed entrance fee to be $40, to

Bristol Shipping
Copper Ore

Just think! Two millions of
ore in sight at the Bristol mines.
That is the estimate of one of the
most conservative of operators
in this district. All freight
teams that can be secured are
hauling the high grade copper
ore from the mines. In many
portions of the working of the
Gypsy and May Day mines, i'm
mense desposits of ore are un-
covered, and as soon as the ore
is struck the men are transferred
to other ground on development
work, just enough ore being
hoisted to keep the ore bins full.

No Longer One
Company Camp
McCune Becomes Interested
In Delamar.
From The Records Special Correspondent.

From The Records Special Correspondent
DeLamar, for years one
company camp, has come into
her own. For years the rich
ledges adjacent to town, have
been overlooked by the travel
ing capitalists in favor of the
more spectacular prospects of
Tonopah and Goldfeld. But a
faithful few have held on, hop
ing against hope at times; till
now they are able to see in the
near future, all their dreams of
this district realized.
Mr.. A. L. Green consulting
engineer for A. w. McCune, ac-
companied by Mr.. McCune's son,
has been in DeLamar for several
days past, and has completed
arrangements for active work
on properties in which they are
interested here. VIM. Fran
chlnl, manager, will at once put
twelve men to work on the Sun
beam and Moro properties, and
as soon as room is made, more
men will be put on. The MORO
is now sacking ore and hopes to
make a carload shipment by the
end of this month.
The Banovich Consolidated
Gold Mines Company in pushing
their double compartment shaft
down at the rate of three feet
per day, machinery has been
ordered and soon the whistles
will be sounding in all directions
from DeLamar. This company
has recently raised the price of
their treasury stock to 10 cents.
The first installment of 100000
shares at 5 cents went like hot
cakes. There seems to be no
less demand at 10 cents than
when the stock was only cents.

that pneumonia and consumption ori-

tarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and

dered more serious by each fresh at
tack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have cold.
