DIAMOND DRILL To
GO DOWN At P|OCHE
MONTANA MAN HAS CONFIDENCE
THAT HE WILL OBTAIN RE-
SUITS.

V. l.. Butler, manager of the But
Ter & McKinnon Diamond Drill Com
pany of Butte, Montana, has been in
Phoebe the past week. looking over
the district with a view of determine
ing the possibilities of work in this
section with a diamond drill, says
the Phoebe Record. Butler states
that his findings so far are in excess
of his anticipations, and as result
he has ordered drill shipped here
Immediately, and should be ready for
work within ten days. The first
work will be done on the Nevada-Des
Moines properties north of town.
Manager Mahedy has been trying for
some time to get drill in this sec
ton and now that he has succeeded,
will have a larger amount of work
done, which cannot result other than
in the opening of a great property.
Many other companies will follow the
lead set by the Nevada-Des Moines and
enough work has been contracted
ahead by the drill company to occupy
their time for at least year.
The coming of the diamond drill
is an event of unusual significance to
Phoebe. 1t is an economical means
of prospecting and determining the
extent and value of hidden ore bodies
1t will enable many claim owners of
moderate means to locate their ore
bodies at small expense and know
exactly what they have without the
great cost that is usually attendant
upon such explorations. That ore
bodies of unusual richness exist in
nj oil 0f nj
lying districts is confidently believed
by all the mining men hereabouts,
and with the diamond drill to deter
mine same, capital will be forth-com-
ing to properly develop the mines
and take it out. Hence, many tons
of ore which might otherwise lie dor
mant, will be extracted to add its
worth to the wealth of the world and
go toward the building of greater
Phoebe.

TEACHERS COMING IN DECEMBER
School Trustees Assume Work of
Gathering Funds for Entertain
ment of Visitors.

Thursday evening District Deputy
School Superintendent A. B. Light
foot, Principal p c. Cullen, the
other teachers of Elys schools and
the board of school trustees held a
meeting to discuss the advisability
of holding district teachers insti-
tute in Ely some time next month
Mr.. Lightfoot said that he was yet
undecided as to whether to call ii
for Ely or some other place in the
district. He said that the distance
at which many OF the teachers lived
from Ely made the item of trans
portation charges necessarily BURDEN
some, but that if Ely would provide
entertainment for the teachers free
of cost to them he would call it for
this city for some time in Decem ber
probably the week preceding Christ
mas.
Mr.. Lightfoot gave it as his opinion
that the institute would be attended
by ut least fifty teachers from Eure-
ka, Lander and White Pine counties.
Trustee Comins said that he thought

MINERS OF
MOHAWK EXTENSION
SUSPENDED BANK AND TIED UP
FUNDS OF MANAGEMENT DID
NOT STOP THEIR WORK.

On the day the State Bank and
Trust company temporarily closed
its doors, Walter d. O'Brien, the
manager of the Mohawk Extension
Mining company, went out to the
mine for the purpose of laying off the
men, as the company's money was in
state bank, says the Tonopah Review.
He met the superintendent under
ground and explained the situation to
him, stating the men would have to
be laid off until the bank opened its
doors.
The superintendent said to Mr..
O'Brien: at is unfortunate to have
to stop work at this time for the rea-
son that we will cut ledge in the
next sixty or seventy feet that runs
from the Mohawk to the Silver Pick.
On the Silver Pick they have the
ledge on the so foot level. AS we
are drifting now on the 800 foot
level, it makes us 120 feet lower
and the ledge should make good ore.
For that reason | Would like to see
the work continued until we cut that
shoot"
The superintendent further stated
that he would interview the men
working and suggest that they work
for stock at the market price instead
of cash until the bank opened. The
next day the superintendent came to
Mr.. O'Brien's Office and informed
him that the mine was still working
and that the men had agreed to ac-
cept stock in payment for their wages
instead of cash, and the mine is now
working.
The company shaft on the Mohawk
Extension Mining company has mover
stopped working since the incorpora-
ton of the company. The shaft is
down 81 feet and 500 feet of drifts
have been run The drift on the 800
foot level is now being run south to
cut the ledge mentioned above.

there would be no trouble to provide
for the visiting teachers free of cost
to them, and suggested that a can
vass of the town be made for rooms
and subscription be started to
raise funds for the purpose of pay
ing board of the teachers. He
thought there could be no doubt but
the district would gladly contribute
the necessary funds.
1t was then decided that a canvass
of the town be made and families be
asked to give room accommodations
and that a subscription be started to
raise money enough to pay week S
board for every visiting teacher.
Trustees Mcdonald, Comins and
Bragg, together with resident teach
ers, took it upon themselves to make
a canvass of the town in the near fu-
ture.
Mr.. Lightfoot purposes to engage
some prominent instructor to come
here to give the teachers the benefit
of his experience There will also
be present J. E. Stubs, of the Uni
versity of Nevada, Prof. Adams, of
the same institution, Deputy John
Edwards Bray of the First district,
and Mrs. Lightfoot. AS business
proposition the people of Ely should
see to it that no visiting instructor
be allowed to spend cent for living
expenses. Hospitality is one of Ely's
assets and to properly entertain such
a body of educators as will be pres
ent will give pleasure as well as
profit.
Coldfeld will hold an institute
some time soon and the people of
that city have agreed to pay all the
expenses of the visiting teachers.

HIGH GRADE IN ANTELOPE.
Camp of Round Mountain Is Develop
ing Some Very Rich Properties.

Superintendent Robert Swift of the
Antelope Round Mountain is work
ing in a rich pocket of high-grade
ore in the south drift of the lower
shaft saye the Reno Gazette. A
parallel drift is being run further
to the east with the intention of stop
ing out the rich ore which lies be-
tween. This gold runs 5000 to the
ton. The main drift meantime will
continue to follow the values as far as
they carry. The depth of the drift is
now about 175 feet from the apex of
the ledge.
All of the ore being taken out is
sacking ore and there is a consider
able array of these sacks awaiting
shipment. The trend of all the pay
streaks seems to be to the southwest,
or into the saddle, SO that the work

Ten 500 bills and $50 in small
bills We're taken from S. J. Punches,
miner, Thursday night in a saloon
at Rieptown. Punches says he was
drugged through drugs put in four
drinks which he took in the house.
He states that he was perfectly con-
scious of the theft at the time 1t was
being made but was powerless to
speak or move. Last night Punches
came to town to consult with the
officers and arrests will probably re-
suit. Riepetown has long been ex-
tremely odorous as place of tough
dives and if the present affair should
result in its being wiped out the
community would be much better off.

Owing to an unfavorabe report
from Superintendent Kirby of the
Combination mill, regarding the o.
inghouse mill, at Wadsworth, the
Consolidated Mines company has de-
cided not to take over the plant I'M
der contract. The cost of putting the
mill into condition to treat the ores
of the Consolidated would be approx
imately $4,000 and three months
time to effect the necessary improve
ments. Practically remodeling would
be necessary in case the Merger peo-
pie assumed charge of the plant. In
view of the cost, the time, and the
fact that the company is now sending
two cars day to the Western Ore
Purchasing company, with early set

negotiations.

In accordance with the report sub
mitted by the late Auditor Rolf, the
district attorney of Washoe county
has filed suit against the Farmers
and Merchants bank of Reno to col
lect taxes for the years 1904, 1905,
and 1906. The bank refused to pay
the state tax on the ground that it
was a national institution, author
lied by the federal laws and there
fore not compelled to pay state taxes.
The suit filed by the district attor-
ney will be in the nature of a test
case and will he watched with con-
siderable interest throughout the
state.
