NEWHOUSE ON
CAMP OF P|OCHE
Has Good Words for Many
Properties and Urges Cam
paign of Publicity.

While the object and result of Samuel
Newhouse's visit to Phoebe during the
past week was pretty well covered and
explained in interviews with A. II. God
be and others who took part in the en-
tertainment of the distinguished opera
tor and his party, Mr.. NewhOuse himself
escaped catching reporters during the
few hours he was in Salt Lake Satur-
day on his way through TO Goldfield. For
that reason the following interview given
to the Phoebe Record Will be read With
interest on this end of the line, as II
marks what is undoubtedly the real be-
ginning of d career of activity in the ia
nous southern Nevada camp by Mr..
NeWhouse and his formidable following
| of eastern and foreign operators;
Il have looked over the Susan Buster,
| Prince and BOstOn-PiOche. and made a
| general survey of all the properties and
dyke country tc the east including T..
| F. Freudenthars Wide Awake claim. l
| have seldom seen a country where the
| ore zone is so continuously persistent as
in the country I have traversed, and
| that is so responsive TO development and
/ with such good results. Take. for in
stance, the BOston-Pioche property,
| which is the east extension of the Yuba
mine belonging TO the Nevada-Utah. 1t
| seems to me as if the management of
| the BOstOn-PiOche merely had to organ
| iZe its plant and with a magic wand.
| touched by that grand old prospector and
miner, Mr.. Lloyd, find mineral.
Good Words for Many Properties.
! 81 think all of the mining claims along
/ the Spring mountain on the easterly and
/ westerly strike will have the same re-
suits arrived at by the other big mines
| of the camp, by the employment of a lit
| tie money. / noticed a property known
as the Wide Awake claim, the last claim
! along the easterly end of this locality;

| Such showing as this, were il any
where within a hundred miles of Salt
Lake. would be eagerly sought and taken
advantage of by a multitude of peo-
| pie.
The same may be said of the proper
ties belonging. TO the LincOln-Nevada
| Mining company and the properties now
being worked by George Weddell of Eng
land. This gentleman's last strike in the
| Ely valley is a most important find
and l believe is the beginning of a great
| mine.
Perhaps a solution of the reason why
! the outside world have so long beer
kept in Ignorance of your camp is be
! cause of the inactivity of the two large
companies who own the greater acreage
| of the camp. The reason that impels
| them to remain thus inactive is bes
| known TO themselves, and ] would mol
care to discuss it, further than TO say
Z
together and arrange their difference:
the better II will be for Phoebe camp
as well as for the companies themselves
Discusses Power of the Press.
These two great companies, as we'll a.
| other companies of the camp. would rem
der great service TO Phoebe if they woult
give generous support to the advertis
| ing OF the camp, which can only be done
through the agency of the press. Tn,
| Phoebe Record, were il assisted by the
| large interests of the camp. would bt

for Phoebe and its citizens, if it wer,
thus encouraged l can see a smile com
ing as l make this statement. but l as
sure your readers that it was induced
| voluntarily. The Peess is the most pc
| tent factor for good or evil In this in
stance it would be of inestimable good.
Il can truthfully say that through tn
medium of the Salt Lake newspapers tina
l have been directly and indirectly tn
cause of having brought fifteen million
dollars TO Utah. / wish to give the credi
to the press more than to my own energy
The utterances of a single individual ar
feeble and almost silent as compared T.
the far-reaching publicity given to pc
tential facts by a reliable newspaper. AM
| l would earnestly suggest to the mininj
| companies of Phoebe that they do tW,
things. which will be of vital importanc
to them.

| Il found much pleasure in meeting tn
people Of Phoebe, whom / regard as o.
a much higher plane than the usual min

tesy shall never be forgotten by me an

an acquaintance with them that will las
all during my life
