CHANGES HANDS

Lewis H. Beason, for years the
mining editor of the Deseret News, at
Salt Lake, has purchased the Phoebe
Record of Messrs. Orr and Goodrich.
OF the new editor and owner of the
Record the Salt Lake Telegram says:
Lewis H. Beason has reached
Phoebe and entered his duties as edi-
tor in chief of the Record. This is
the only paper published in the min
ing district, and by reason of Mr..
Beason's long experience in both
newspaper and mining business, he
should be valuable addition to
that section.
I'm point of service Mr.. Beason is
one of the oldest mining writer's in
Utah. He has been connected with
several of the daily papers in this
city for number of years, and has
been the local correspondent for
some of the largest financial papers
of the country. He has made a per-
sonal inspection of all the big mines
of Utah. and in going into Nevada he
will have the advantage of a valu-
able fund of information which
should place the Record at the head
of mining papers in the sagebrush
country"
