burned down in 1885, and he had to re-

dollars were expended in acquiring
properties in the district The Union
Pacific railroad then started TO build
its road from Milford to Phoebe. after
it had been determined that the ore in
sight in the camp warranted the enter
prise. Then came the Barring failure
and another cessation in operations.
Mr.. Godbe had been negotiating with
an English syndicate to sell his hold
ings for 81. 250, 600 when the crash came.
The faith which he had in the district
never Wavered, and his sons. E. L.
Godbe. a. H. Godbe and c. Godbe, are
now engaged in reaping the harvest
from these early seeds of confidence
and energy which We're sown by this
intrepid pioneer in this rich camp. 1t
is not more than three years ago that
they enlisted other capital ~ the dis

today. Colonel ]. L. Hackett of Ken
lucky, c. NJ. Werk of Cincinnati.
George Wendell of London and Samuel
Newhouse have become interested in
their properties.
With the confidence of this capital
behind them, they at once began a
campaign of development in new
ground. which has resulted in the rich
mines Of the Ohio Kentucky and the
Prince Consolidated. Their knowledge
confident lay wealth which they were
confident lay in the bonanza veins IN
derground has been abundantly proven
over and over again since their cam
paign of development began. They are
now among the richest mines in the
district, and there is every favorable
prospect for the continued success of
their able mana gement OF the proper
ties.

closed The ore body was encountered
at the 160-foot point OF the shaft which
was started in the country rock. There
are 100000 tons Of ore blocked out ready

first-class ore carrying from 200 to 800
ounces of silver and much lead.
A concentrating plant is one Of the
contemplated improvements cf the
company during the coming year. This
mill viii turn out one ton Of concen-
trates from two tons of crude ore,
which will be separated into two
classes for the lead and zinc smelters-

equipped with a twenty-five-horse-
