SmeIter King InYades Nevada.


Phoebe is the coming camp of Ne
vada, Newhouse, the smelter king of
Utah, has purchased over half of the
townsite of Phoebe and he with Col.
Greene, the Guggenheims, McDon-
aid, Clark and the Baumbergers are
purchasing the old producing mines
and newly discovered properties in
this old famous mining camp.
Phoebe, located in Lincoln county,
Nevada, is in a few, isolated range of
mountains 5000 feet above sea level.
Phoebe was discovered in the early
'70s by shafts sunk on the Yuba 1900
feet, Silver 900 feet, Newark 900 feet
and tapped in the Independent
ground through a long cross cut run
out from bottom of the old Raymond
and Ely shaft at depth of 200 feet
below the surface, from which point
it was further developed by a Wine
sunk 300 feet still deeper. The ore
consists of sulphides of lead, iron,
zinc, with high silver and gold values.
In the vicinity of the Baumberger-
Wood syndicate, Ida Mae Annex and
Bristol Copper company properties
the ore runs about Is per cent. lead,
s. to $50 per ton gold, 10 ounces silver
and per cent. copper, while some
zinc blend is found close to the wall
running over 200 ounces silver, one
ounce gold and so per cent. lead per
ton. The long quartzite assure which
lies about 200 feet south of the por-
phyry ledge passes through the old
Raymond and Ely and Meadow Val
ley mines, from which over $40,
900 was produced within the short
space OF six years.
The actual mining cost in the old
days was 81 per ton and the milling
cost $22. The ore had to be shipped
to Salt Lake City on the backs of
desert burros a distance of 400 miles
No extraction could be obtained by
the pan amalgamation process; smell
ing was then in a crude and imper-
feet state and only two-thirds of the
values were saved. In spite of this
tremendous handicap the old mine
owners of Phoebe became bonanza
kings, and the seemingly inexhausti-
BILE supply of silver bullion being
hauled out of old Phoebe on the backs
of these lettle desert burros caused
a panic in the silver market of the
world and was the direct cause of the
decentralization of silver. The de-
monetization of silver, together with
the tremendous handicap placed upon
the district caused a general shut
down in all the Phoebe properties
at time too, when millions were
blocked out in their workings.
With the demand for copper at S12O
per ton, and silver selling around 70
cents an ounce, with the prospect of
its touching the dollar mark, the ad-
vance in mining and metallurgy and
the concentrating of the ores at an
expense of 81 per ton places the old
mines of Phoebe and the new mines
of Phoebe in a position to again make
of their owners bonaza kings and
princes of finance.
The building of railroad into
this famous district is now about to
be completed and will deliver ores to
the Salt Lake market at about So per
ton. Phoebe is on the eve of big
boom; many of the mines are being
reopened and prepared for operation
upon an extensive scale, while de-
velopment is being pushed on the
new properties, which promise to
become richer than the ones of the
early '70s.

TUNNELING UNDER
NEW YORK CITY

The article on "Manhattan an
Island Outgrown," In the July Amer
lean Magazine presents a graphic
lpicture OF the tunnels now being con-
structed under New York city. These
Improvements are costing twice as
much as the Panama canal.
"The building Of the tubes under
1.-The rivers, of course, meant no in
terruption OF normal traffic, but the
connecting tunnels under the city
and the erection of the terminal were
dinerent matters" says the author
of the article.
Yet so deep down in the rock
were the connecting tunnels that
they passed under Thlrty-second and
Thlrty-third streets, across Fifth
avenue and below the Waldrof-
Astoria hotel without cracking the
asphalt or waking guest. The only
visible sign was a dumping machine
at shaft near Fourth avenue, run
silently by compressed air, and the
vanishing OF a truck one day into
sudden hole in Thirty-third street,
due to a quicksand cave-in. But
even the horse was rescued unharm-
ed. The signs at the terminal, how
ever. are numerous enough. for at
present the station Is a yawnlng hole
half mile long and two blocks wide,
like a gigantic earthquake freak,
with three avenues, an elevated |
structure. sewers, water mains, gas
pipes and the like straddling across
II on steel stilts, performing their
normal functions. Millions OF dol
Iars' worth OF houses were condemn
I'd and torn down to make way for
his terminal In the heart OF the city,
md when IL is done II will bring the
passenger traffic OF the entire Penn
ylvania system and the entire Long
