They desire very much TO visit
Phoebe. but would much prefer
to come at a time when this
town is prepared to greet them
and to show off to greater ad-
vantage our mineral wealth.
Mining men conversant with the
sentiment in other places, visit
ing Phoebe, are often heard to
remark: When do you people
propose to celebrate railroad
day." and the answer must come
to the effect that no move has
been made.
In conclusion let us earnestly
suggest that this condition OF
affairs be not allowed to remain
and that an energetic and de-
cided movement be made in the
near future. The great amount
of trouble involved, the expense
attached, and other details
which must be taken care o.
are of no small import, which il
fully understood.
We believe that the money ex
pended and time given up
would reap it's reward, and the
it would not be said, to. the dis
grace of Phoebe, that it is tn

One of the truest indications
of the manner in which the sew

mines on a most substantial
basis.

Groom Mines
Local People Largely Inter-

Word was received by 7. j.
Osborne this week, that a hoist
ing engine and other necessary
equipments for the Groom mines
had been landed on the ground.
A syndicate has been formed
to work this valuable lead propo-
sition, with L. L. Patrick. the
well-known Goldfeld operator, at
the head. Machinery, such as
pumps and engines, were neces-
sary to the successful operation
of the mine, and after the mine
has been unwatered, which is
the present purpose of the COM
pany, development and ore ex-
traction apon large scale will
take place.

The looked for break in stock
market prices came with the
opening of the week. AS pre-
dicted, the price level of $50 for
Union Pacific was the turning
point and reactions from that
price level have been sharp and
swift.
The market has been an amaz-
ing one. Not only the street
but the public generally has been
sitting up and taking notice.
There has been more scanning
of market reports during the
past two weeks that at any time

week that his house did not
