in quantities existing in the flat
below town. No development to
any material depth has, however,
been prosecuted. Should the
ore body be struck in the present
operations we may reasonably
expect to see the entire Hamlite
Flat prospected and many mines
of Importance developed.
The diamond drill has, in other
sections, proven itself to be a
rapid and accurate means of de-
velopment. Many mines which
are now adding their precious
minerals to the wealth of the
world, would be lying idle, but
for the existence of the diamond
drill.
To Manager Mahedy of the
Observation-Disclosures, much credit
is due for his untiring efforts in
getting the drill here. May he
be handsomely rewarded.

The Laws
Disregarded

When the town ordinances of
Ploche were recently nassed and
put on the records as law in
Phoebe, it was thought by all
that with a good, conscientious
careful night watchman, or as
ne is termed, a marshall, would,
as Ear as possible, and with rea-
son, see that the laws were en-
forced; but the truth of the stu
alton is known, it seems that un-
lawful acts are permitted to such
a degree that it will not be long
until the young boys, far from
the legal age, will be taking the
privileges of a man of forty.
In the first instance, young
boys are permitted to frequent
the dance hall, gambling tables
and saloons about town; the pro-
prietors do not resist and the Of
ficers do not attempt to stop the
practices. We are informed
upon good authority that the
young boys have been encour-
aged to enter the dance hall by
the fixing of things" by w. A.
Denton.
Constable Healy is engaged at
the gambling table and not in
position to duty as an officer, at
the time of the night when such
unlawful acts are being COM
mitted.
Our marshall is given the "ha
ha" every time he attempts to
quiet or stop disgraceful and un-
lawful acts in the early morn
ing hours.
A few arrests and a good fine
imposed upon the proper people
will be the only means of curb
ing the present situation. Of
ficers, do your duty, and you will
find the RECORD behind you at
Ill times for what is right and
lust.

mains that upon the 9Th day of

Express Services
First of Year
Wells, Fargo Office Will
Be Established at This
Place

The express Office which was
established here for a few DAYS
has been withdrawn, and all
service in this line will be from
Caliente for the present. We
are informed by Agent Mont
gomery that after the first of
the year a Wells, Fargo express
office will be established here
and this in itself will insure good
service. At present the express
service on the Salt Lake route
is held by the Pacific Express
Company but a change is antic-
ipated along the entire line.
The establishment of an ex-
press office to Phoebe will be a
welcome one; being a great con-
venience to the local public. At
present Caliente is the nearest
express point, as above stated,
and the service entirely unsatis-
factory.

PROVES
A SUCCESS

The bazaar, given by the Ls
dies Guild, at Thompsons Hall
Thursday last, was a pronunceC
success in every particular. From
financial standpoint it was al
that could be desired; the ladieI
receiving something over 5000

well worth the price, and every
patron of the bazaar, which BY
the way included nearly all the
residents of the town, received
value for every dollar expended.
Fixtures and articles sold dem.
onstrated a great amount of
work on the part of the ladies
and they were deserving of all
the patronage received and it is
pleasing to think that the popu-
lation of Phoebe appreciated
their effort in the manner in
which they did. The money
will be apportioned to a good
cause, the erection of Sun
day school building for Phoebe,
something greatly needed.
Numerous booths were in eyi-
dence, presided over by Pioche's
charming ladies, and this taken
in connection with the good
things offered, accounts for the
great financial showing made.
The eatable booth was pre-
sided over by Mesdames Thomp-
son, Greenwood, Thomarson and
Lloyd, and they did so in very
efficient manner, being amply |
sble at all times to satisfy the
of the inner man. For
Ifter a person had in turn eaten
'ome of those delicious baked
'eans, which have been the talk
i the town ever since, dough-
luts, sandwiches, and that 'cof-,
ee cooked with gas would
make every man satisfied with
he world.
The doll both charge in of Mes
ames Cleine, Ewing, Fitzpatrick
nd Miss Lizzie Franks, was very
rettlly arranged and had some ,
eautifully dressed dolls, which !
yould gladden. the heart of any :
tile girl to be the possessor Of.

The Japanese booth, in charge

Misses Lizzie Goodrich and Elsie

Here tea was served in the Ori-
entail style, with waters to eat
While you drank it, and should
tea prove to be too warm, the

Have you been fishing?'
This was the upermost question

question was the fish pond, one
OF the features of the bazaar,
presided over by Mrs. James
Price and Mrs. D. M. Griffths.

Federal troops have been sent

The troops were brought in at

that action was taken by Gov
