Celebrate!

the individuals who are working
to make the team representing
Phoebe, a success.
The mere clearing of a suitable
ground was no mean task, which
can alone be appreciated by
those who worked so assiduously
to get the grounds in presentable
shape, and this done, if you
please, largely by contributed
work. The management reports
great success in gathering con-
tributions, and if we add to this
a little encouragement from the
side lines during practice games,
we will get results in being able
to see good base ball. This sport
will not be for the day alone but
will be the means of getting a
team organized, who can play
throughout the season and form
a strong advertisement for the
town.
The drilling contest promises

each promising to make the
other hustle to get the most in

utes allotted. Many of those who
will enter have had considerable
experience in this line of work,
and have given creditable per-
formances among the best of
them.
Last, but by no means least,
is the band. This part is abso-
lutely necessary for a successful
celebration. The boys have
been practicing and have gotten
together several good players
who will enliven the day with

the committees in charge of the
different arrangements have
done their work right royalty.

Will Ship
Copper Ore
Contract Let for Two Thou
sand Tons.

Shipping ore at the Bristol
Consolidated is being encounter
ed in such quantities that the
management is compelled to
ship large quantities before the
railroad reaches Phoebe. 1t is
retarding development at the
present time and as a conse-
quence a contract has been let
for the hauling of 1000 tons to
the railroad at Modena. This
amount is in addition to the reg
ular shipments that have been
made monthly, and will help re-
lieve the congestion at the mine
and afford room for the working
of an additional force.

Bristol Mines
On Improve
Copper Blossom Showing Is
Very Good.

R. C. Rowley and w. w.
Dunn, mining engineers, re-
turned Wednesday from a trip to
Ely and surrounding section.
They report having witnessed
much activity in and about Ely.
They came here by way of their
Copper Blossom Group of claims
in the Bristol District and re-
port new find on that property.
The work in progress on the
property is the running of
tunnel to tap the ledge. In the
course of the tunnel a new forma-
ton carrying values was found,
and a sample of the rock is
being exhibited at the office of
the Phoebe Brokerage Company.
The gentlemen are firmly of the
opinion that they are encounter
ing contact; and if such is the
case, cannot help but get ore of
considerable richness. They
have men employed at the prop
erty constantly and will rush
matters, toward connecting with
the main ledge with all possible
speed.
/ They report much talk of Phoebe
in the sections visited and state
that, without a single exception,
it is favorable. All people are
looking toward Pioche and are
sanguine of her future. They
met mining men from many DIFF
ferent sections, all making the
inquiry as to when the railroad
would be completed. Salt Lake
men are especially interested
and will be we'll represented
when the opportune moment ar
rives.
Mr.. Rowley and Mr.. Dunn
state they have had the pleasure
of seeing many good propositions
while on their trip, but are glad
to get back to Pioche and are
earnest in their statements that
Phoebe is the most promising
field for investors of moderate
wealth, and prospectors, that is
known.

Miners Union Organized.

A miners union organization
for Phoebe was perfected last
evening. A large majority of
the miners of the district have
either joined or signified their
willingness to do so, and it prom
ises to gain a large membership
in this district. The officers
elected are all we'll known Pioch-
er's, having the respect of the
entire community. They are
Jas. E. Price, proprietor of the
Price Lodging House, president;
John Finn, vice president, and
Chas. Bethel, secretary. The
union will hold regular weekly

Mr.. Lloyd in his report stated
that for every ton of high grade
ore, the mine would likely pro-
duce from three to four tons of
second grade ore averaging over
$4,000 silver to the ton.
Mr.. E. L. Godbe, mining engi-

None of our readers who were
in Pioche ia March of last year,
caii have forgotten the wild ex-
element which prevailed at the
time of the great strike made
near Bailey Springs and since
known as the NEVADA HORN
SILVER Mine.
By agreement, Whipple, the
prospector who made the strike,
arranged to have twenty-four
hours start after the deal was
completed with Thomarson and
Lucky Scott, " to stake out more
claims. The news leaked out as
soon as the twenty-four hours
were up, at 9 o'clock at night, and
within an hour every man who
owned a rig, a horse, a mule or a
burro or who could buy, borrow
or steal one was out on the road
to Bailey Springs.
Itwas an exciting night, as dark
as pitch, and many did not know
the way. Some went up by
Highland, others through STAN
pede Gap but a fair number got
on the right trail past the Jack
Rabbit pass and the Bristol
smelter.
The mines are thirty miles from
Phoebe and it was the grey of the
morning before the first strag-
glers began to arrive. Then they
discovered Whipple's brother

six shooters and rifle. There
was considerable Hesitation until
the number of prJspectors in
creased, then one Of them shout
ed, 1--WE don't mean no harm,
but we want to see what you
have got" Come on then"
said Whipple but mind you
don't butt in on any of my ground
or you take the consequences. "
Before the day had faded there
were monuments stuck up all
around much further than the
eye could see.

LAST CHANCE WORK.

The Phoebe Last Chance Min
ing Company, operating in High
land District, have perfected a
plan of development for the
working of the properties.
Word was received at the local
Office during the week, to COM
mence an upraise from a winze
in the Last Chance mine and to
run the same with all possible
speed to the surface. In this
winze the largest and most prof.
table body of ore has been en-
countered and it is with a view
of facilitating the handling of
the ore that that the winze is to
be connected with the surface,
thus affording a suitable work.

route and will be installed as
soon as it reaches the ground.
Mr.. Jas. 3. Wheeler is SUPER
intendent of the company and is
working a few men at present
which force will be increased
just as fast as available space
can be found.

A. j. BEETLES. chief metallur-
gist on the Newhouse staff, has
gone down to the Ohio-Kentucky
properties at Phoebe, with view
to picking the various grades Of
ores in that property and MAX
ing a careful analyis This is
done for the purpose of determ-
lining the best methods to be en-
ployed in the treatment of these
ores and reducing the output to
a Commercial basis, a matter
that has been considered ever
since the first deposits of ore
were encountered in the Susan
Duster ground.
Just recently this property has
been inspected by Col. Hackett
of Kentucky, who is one of the
heavy owners of this company's
stock. Upon the return of Col.
Hackett, he and some of his as
sociates have been in consulta-
ton with Samuel Newhouse and
his engineers, and the matter of
having a reduction plant and
other improvement for this prop
erty have been carefully gone
over. No definite conclusion
was reached at the time of this
conference, as it is said that Mr..
Newhouse refused absolutely to
consider any improvements that
would call for the expenditure of
large sums of money until such
a time as his engineers could
make careful survey of the
ores blocked out in this property,
and further to have a test made,
in order that the best methods
for treating the metals might be
ascertained.
For some time the matter OF
erecting a mammoth custom mil
and constructing a smelter fol
the mines of Phoebe and the
neighboring camps, has beer
discussed, and during Mr.. New,
houses absence in Europe his
name was connected with these
various enterprises. This was
done without his authority, as
he has said that he was ever will
ing to interest capital in various
mining enterprises whenever ar
opportunity with merit was pre-
sented. But that he would have
to be thoroughly convinced tina
there was ore blocked out il
these properties sufficient tt
keep plants going for numbe-
of years to come, was also made
clear in his statement to those
who consulted him on this sub
ject.

fifteen claims, all in a compact
group around the original dis
covery and running four thousand
feet along the strike of the ledge.
1t has been surveyed by Mr.. A.
R. Talamentes, U. S. Deputy
Surveyor, of Salt Lake City,
Utah.
AS was to be expected Mr..
William Lloyd, whom our readers
all know to be the greatest min
ing expert of the district, was at
an early date on the spot, and
with his partner Mr.. Cook, aided
by their assay outfit, carefully
prospected the ledge. Lloyd's
eighteen years experience in the
district in experimenting and
leasing mining properties, made
him early decide that this was
one of the most important strikes
he had ever known He found
the outcrop of the veins about 80
feet in width, of quartz assaying
from five ounces to five hundred
ounces in silver to the ton and
sixty cents in gold. After seve-
raj other visits, Mr.. Lloyd, at the
request of the owners, reported
on the property and six months
later, after unsuccessfully endea-
voring to obtain lease, he
acquired an interest in the pro-
iperty and will act as a director
of the company.
The Nevada Horn Silver Min
ing Company as reported in our
issue of last week, has been in
corporated for 81, 900, 100000 in
shares of $1.00 each. Four hun
dred thousand (400, 000) are plac-
ed in the treasury and of the
personal stock nine-tenths (9-10)
has been pooled with the Utah
Savings & Trust Company of
Salt Lake City, Utah, to be held
for one year. The property is
acquired free of bond or debt,
and the amount raised by the
sale of treasury stock will be de-
voted entirely to development
which is now being actually
carried on. There is plenty of
timber on the property and rights
have been acquired for an abun-
dant water supply close at hand.

Railroads Fight

The different railroads oper-

HEARST WINS HIS POINT
Court Authorizes an Attack on the
Title as Mayor of George B.
Mcclellan.

Albany, n. Y, May 1.-THE court
of appeals has sustained the right of
Attorney General Jackson to attack,
in the name of the people and on be-
half of William Randolph Hearst, the
title of George B. Mcclellan to be
mayor of New York city. The Hearst
cause has now won in all courts The
court is unanimous. and no opinion is
given Jackson's predecessor denied
Hearsts application for rarmission to
begin quo warranto proceedings
against Mcclellan.
Jackson tried to reopen the case, but
was stopped by an injunction. where
upon he brought action upon his own
initiative in the name of the people.
His right TO reverse his predecessors
act was attacked and 1t was argued
that he had begun this action in de-
tiance Of writ of prohibition. It IS
! assumed here that the test of McClel-
lan's title will proceed on its merits.
