Early Day Happenings
.-.. In Phoebe s.--.
July 1872

Chief of the Hill-Since our
last review all work has been
suspended in the upper portion
of The mine, for the purpose of
tracing out the ledge at the point
where it has been cut by the
Burke tunnel in running into the
hill. Mr.. Hardy, superintend-
ent of the mine, informs us that,
from surveys obtained, he will
have to sink eight feet from the
present depth of the winze on
the lower level to strike the level
of the tunnel where it strikes
the ledge, and will then have to
run a drift fifty feet to intersect
them at a point where the ledge
was tapped.
Bowery The mill continues
running steadily on ore from the
Phoebe mine, and is in every par
ticular success, the ore being
worked to as high a per cent as
any other in the district. The
furnace has not yet started up,
as the superintendent informs
US that it is an impossibility to
acquire the lumber necessary to
house it.
Washington & Creole - Still
running east drift, which is in
between seventy and eighty feet,

for hosting purposes has been
contracted for in San Francisco,
but has not yet been shipped.
Meadow Valley-A visit to the
different hosting works of this
company made this week showed
everything to be in excellent
mining order, and the ore raised
to the surface is looking extreme
ly well, and the quantity is being
increased daily. From Captain

WHY NOT HAVE A BAND?

We would be pleased to a movement set under way
tending toward the organization of brass band Phoebe
No town is complete without and can conceive of
no good why excellent one could not be main
tanned here Looking back the history of Phoebe
for years past we find that Notwithstanding adverse
conditions and dull times could at all times boast of
good band Conditions at present seem to Justify one,
but the proper spirit in getting it started is lacking:
We have been informed that an effort was made and
that support from the town people is forthcoming
Should this be the case greatly surprised for in
all our experience have the first time to find the cti-
zens and business of Phoebe wanting in the support
and patronage of any worthy proposition. We in
clned to believe that the right sort of effort not
made and would suggest that another trial be made,

Continued from First Page)

The copper situation is mud
died. High authorities state
that there is a lrplus of 50C,-
000,Cyl r3lnis. he world an
nually consumes 1000, 900. 600
pounds in times of normal pro-
perity. The copper metal mar
ket cannot, therefore. be perma-
nently advanced for perhaps .
year, but the stock markets al
ways participate business pres
perity, and consequently copper
stocks are expected to advance
this winter.
Mining stocks generally remain
dull. The Cobalts are in some
demand, and in these issues show
a hardening tendency. The ex-
cellent production of the camp is
responsible for this. Cobalt has
now more dividend payers than
any mining camp on the CONT
nent. .r...
From d speculative standpoint
the Goldfields rank highest in
public esteem, and there is
money made by loading up with
the stocks of good Goldfeld
mines and prospects. The pub
lie should remember, however,
that the stocks-the speculative
stocks-of camp like Goldfeld
are made to sell, not to keep,
and that Goldfeld prospects
should be bought to sell on any
good bulge. A fifty per cent
profit is enough to make on the
majority of these issues. Once
in while the buyer will miss a
big profit by selling too soon,
but in nine cases out of ten he
will lose out" by not taking
profits in this class of stocks
when profits can be got.
With the stocks of good mines
the rule is different. If they are
well bought" that is to say,
bought cheap they can be safe
ly held for dividends; but even
in this class they should be sold
when the market price rises
much above mine value"
Among the best purchases now
are West End of Tonopah, Ken
| dali of Montana, Ell Orc and Es-
| peranza of Mexico. West End
has strike that looks big, and
insiders are quickly accumulat-
ing stock. Our confidential ad-
vices from Kendall are that a
body of ore is being opened as
big as that which caused the
stock to sell above five dollars
per share several years ago, and
that the ore is of higher value.
The stock should be bought any
where under So.
Ell Orc is opening richer ore in
/ the bottom of the mine, and
Esperanza is getting into new
: bodies both of milling and bo-
nanza rock, which look good,
\ but whose extent is still unde-
4 termined. All these except West
End are good dividend payers.
7 The future of the mining mar
I kets is promising.
