Los Angeles
Man Here
States There is an Excel
lent Opportunity For
Lumber Yard.

Mr.. H. E. Crawford, repre-
senting the Blinn-Robinson Lum-
ber Company of Los Angeles,
California, has been in Pioche
the past week, looking over the
business possibilities in his line
here. From examination no far
made, Mr.. Crawford believes
that an excellent opportunity is
open for a first-class down TO
date lumber yard. While it is
not the policy of his company to
install retail yards, rather per-
ferring to sell at wholesale, he
believes that after making a re-
port on the conditions, unless
someone takes the matter up,
his company will be tempted to
install a yard. The company
represented by Mr.. Crawford do
a thriving business throughout
California and'Nevada, handling
all classes of Washington, Ore
gon and red pine lumber.
Mr.. Crawford states that
Phoebe is attracting considerable
attention among the business
men of Los Angeles and that
with the completion of the rail
road, they will be found on the
ground in keen competition for
the business here. Freight rates
will be about the same and the
business will go to the town Civ
ing the best satisfaction anc
prompt attention.

Notes About Our Neigh
Dor in the Lower End
of the County.

SEARCHLIGHT, New, July
24-Pursuant to its policy to do
things, the management of the
Stanley Forbes Extension has
installed its new camp and will
commence aggressive develop
ment work Immediately. The
property lies due south adjoin-
ing the Stanley Forbes and hav-
ing $500 feet of the wonderfully
rich vein that enriches that
property, and on which such
bonanza ore has been developed.
The work, so far, on the Exten-
sion has more than shown up
promising values, as several
pieces of specimen ore has been
found while trenching across
the monster vein that traverses
the Nevada Girl claim owned by
the company.
G. w. Meyer has left for the
East, to arrange for a complete
equipment of the finest machin-
cry obtainable, to facilitate
rapid development. Upon the
arrival of this, work will be hast
ened, as it is the intention of
Supt. Jos. Macarthur, to sink to
water level on the vein and COM
mence extracting the ore.
To date, the principal work
consists of several prospect
shafts, open cuts and many feet
of trenching, showing three well
defined true fissure veins, all
carrying excellent values. Good
Mornings can be obtained on the
surface all along the vein on the
Nevada Girl for a distance of
1900 feet. At the bottom of a
40-foot shaft on this s.elaim, there
is three feet of fine looking
quartz, carry several ounces in
gold per ton.
From a director of the COM
pany it was ascertained that the
management intend leasing the
New Era mill in a short time
and make a trial run of the ore.
The Searchlight Comstock, ly-
ing about a mile west of the
Extension, is awaiting the ar
rival of its complement of ma
chinery, when sinking will be
resumed at once. The recent
sensational strike on this property
is holding out well, and at depth
of 65 feet there is two feet Of
ore in the shaft.

Another Road
For PiOche
II. S. WOolley Says One viii
Be Built From Coal
Fields In Utah.

H. S Woolley, president of the
Woolley Exploration Company, in
an extended interview with the
Mining Record Of Denver, gives
some interesting facts concern
ing railroads in Nevada, as to
earnings of the new constructed
roads he says:
Nevada railways pays their
cost of construction inside of one
year. The railroad connecting
Goldfeld and Tonopah paid for
itself inside of six months, while
the railroad built from SodaviIle
to Tonopah paid for itself inside
of the first year, and it has been
paying over 100 per cent a year
in dividends ever since. =
Mr.. Woolley believes that the
one great problem to be solved
by Nevada mining camps is that
of transportation and fuel and
that in solving one you get the
other. He believes that the
great distance that fuel is hauled
at present is entirely unnecessary
and for the purpose of reducing
this haul his company will build
road from the coal fields in
southern Utah which will con-
meet with all the important min
ing towns of southern Nevada.
The road will be about $50 miles
in length and will connect Ely,
Phoebe and other southern camps.
With relation to the road and
Pi3che he says Phoebe viii be
reached within less than rs
miles" and he concludes the in
terview with the encouraging
statement I'VE are going to
build the railroad now, and that
will lead on to other things.
Just watch our operations foH
profits that will scare you.'

To Form Chamber
of Commerce

A meeting has been called for
Tuesday night July 30th at 8
o'clock at the Searchlight Bank
& Trust Co. for the very worthy
purpose of discussing plans for
the formation of a local Chamber
of Commerce. The need of such
an organization has been long
apparent and now that the initia-
tive has been taken it is to be
hoped that there will be a rous-

Tramway For
Bristol Con.


All the fixtures have been
ordered for the tramway to be
built by the Bristol Consolidated
Company at Bristol. The tram
way will be used for the purpose
of transporting the ores over the
mountain from the mines to a
point near Jackrabbit and will
connect with the railroad. This
will prove a very economical
means of transportation as well
as affording an opportunity Of
handling the immense tonnage
at the mines.

believing that the Ajax Bullfrog
will in a short time be one of
the big mines of Southern Ne

To the Straub family must be
given all the credit, if the pres
ent predictions, which are well
warranted should prove true, as
the property was located by a
Straub, financed by a Straub
and developed under the watch
full eye of another end of the
Straub family. In fact, every
action toward the developing of
the Wathena claim into a mine
has been under the management
of one of the many wings of the
Straub family.
In the fall of 1905, Frank
Straub located the Wathena claim
in Crescent. during the early
excitement in that District; later,
followed by Chas. Straub, who,
after examining the prospect,
thought so we'll of it that he in

was the incentive to the owners
to start extentive work, which
up to date has Loen very graft

The main working shaft is
now down over 20 feet, with
drifts on the 100 and 200 foot
levels, running east and west,
showing about three feet of fine
ore. M. L. Cook, mining en-
gineer of Searchlight, has just
completed the plans for the fu-
ture development, which will in
clude sinking to water level,
erecting the five stamp mill now
on the ground and blocking out
sufficient ore to keep the mil
running "a hours a day after the
stamps commence dropping.
1t will take considerable work
before the property is thoroughly
opened up, but from the manner
in which the development is now
proceeding, before many months
have passed the music of the
stamps dropping on ore anc
pounding out the bullion will be
heard at the Ajax Bullfrog.

Water Rates
Are Increased

The Phoebe Water Company
has decided to increase the rate
per month for water hereafter.
This decision is alright, shoulp
the company reciprocate in i'm
proved service. When the in
habitants of this, or any other
town, pays a fair rate for the
water used, they are entitled to
all the protection from fires that
water service can give them.
Some weeks ago we chronicled
the fact that new tanks were to
be installed, but see no move in
that direction as yet. We be-
lieve that this should be done as
soon as possible, for it is adpar-
ent that the tanks now in use
are entirely unfit for the pur-
pose, both from a sanitary stand
point, and as successful water
conserveS. Much water is vast
ed and this will be needed with
increased population.
We do not presume to dictate
to any person or corporation, it's
policy, but when their dealings
concern the entire community,
we at least assume the right to
point out defects; and one little
suggestion that might be acted
upon with good results, is to
make a uniform rate, and charge
all and by so doing a few will
not be compelled to bear an
added burden in making a sys-
tenn pay.
The most noticeable raise is
with the saloon men. These
business houses formerly paid
two dollars per month for water,
but have been notified that ten
dollars WILDE the price in future.

Exhibits Good
Looking Rock.

M. D. Mapes was exhibiting
some very fine rock this last
week taken from his property in
the Bristol District. Mr.. Mapes
has a group of six claims upon
which he has just completed the
assessment work. The vein
from which the rock exhibited
was taken, was uncovered at a
depth of a very few feet, and
shows up immense. The rock
is heavy in lead and carries good
silver values giving an average
assay of over $101. 90. Mr. Mapes
stated that he didn't Shave any

Chas. Fernandez. Jos. Vietti
and F. R. McNamee have secured
a lease on the Fortuna mine in
Jackrabbit district. This mine
at present belongs to the Bam-
berger Exploration Company
and is considered oneo the most
promising mines in the district.
The property is a copper PROPOSE
ton and much rich coppersore is
now blocked out. The mine has
been worked for many years in 4
small way and some money made
out of it, being owned for a
number of years by Wesley Viii

Improvement In
Telegraph Line

We are informed that a
much needed improvement in the
telegraph service will be given
Phoebe in the near future. The
Superintendent of Telegraph for
the Salt Lake Route and also
Superintendent for the Western
Union stationed at Los Angeles
were over the Phoebe & Caliente
Railway right of way as far as
Panaca the other day. 1t is
stated that the intention is to
construct a line as far as Panaca
and connect with the line run
ming to Pioche thus assuring that
the line will be in commission
when needed. AS it has been in
the past the line could not be de-
pended on and the connections
at Modena were not at all as
they should be. The office is a
paying one and the company is
justified in keeping the line in
first class order which they
should do.
S. w. Vance, a Phoebe mining
man and who is connected with
the Bristol-Pioche company, left
for Yellowstone Park the fore
part of the week on a pleasure
trip and expects to be gone for
some weeks.

City in Southern Utah, is attract
ing attention in Phoebe. A
