teresting to your readers. He
says:
Il got the copy forwarded me
from Phoebe, and read it with
great interest. So far as | know
the early history contained
therein is correct. The pictures
and "reminiscences carried me
back thirty-three years. Es-
pecially interesting was much of
it to me, who can realize the
care and research you devoted to
so faithful and accurate chron-
lcle Of that celebrated camp,
built and peopled in a way that
will not be likely to be duplicat-
ed. While reading it the shut
tiers of memory's picture gallery,
warped and dusty though they
were, clicked as the sunlight of
the long ago, lit up the shadowy
recesses of the dim past.
The article in it's entirely is
a faithful and valuable synopsis
of local history and is a testi-
monial to your powers of correct
compilation. To compile, is about
all one could do in such a case,
and notice the article is neces-
sarlly devoid of the poetic, or
ornate, with which you were
wont to adorn previous produc-
tons, but it would be a. difficult
matter to deduce poetry from
the prosaic surroundings of Pr
oche in its days of prosperity or
penury. | note your reference
to the bad men that were once
so numerous therein, and would
suggest that in the sanguinary
record the name of Rick Moriarty
Morgan Courtney is conspic-
uous by its absence. He was the
toughest of the lot. Toward the
close of the year when Uncle
Billy" Raymond's $4,000 shares
IN the Raymond & Ely were paw
ing him seven dollars per share
his superintendent and forman
went to San Francisco and told
nm to let go, sell out, clean up
at the then prevailing price, but
Uncle Billy" profanely pro-
claimed that Raymond & Ely
would keep on paying present
dividends indefinitely. In rs
John Ely told me his chief con-
Germ was to enable his wife to
live in Paris, in the style to
which she was accustomed. He
was a.fine man. "
1t seems to me that there is
much pathos in that letter.
Halloran was young in those
days and Phoebe was one of the
stepping stones by which he
rose to final fame and wealth.
He spent two hours with me
at my hotel in San Francisco
and the only subject upon which
ne could talk was dear old Pr
oche. 1t was no task at all to
make him see what Phoebe has
got ahead. It's old record. a
part OF which he is so proud to
have chronicled, is the flaming
headlight which shows how
Phoebe is coming down the track.
Its CLEAN seems a. little distant
yet, but it will grow brighter
last, and as it comes nearer and

nearer the old record will seem
to dissolve into the bewildering
glare Of the new record and
as the electric headlight OF to-
day would cause the lantern
flame of those days to east a
shadow, so will Pioche's new
record exceed the brilliancy of
the old. Yours sincerely,

STATE NEWS.

United States government would
send a corps of inspectors into
the camp of Rawhide to make An
inspection of certain mining pro-
perties there, which are at the
present. time being boosted bv
market letters and other kinds
of literature, the latter going
through the United States mails,
A complaint has been made that
the mines are wildcats, and the
government has been asked to
take a hand in the matter and to
check this practice.
1t is, further stated that the
mining properties against which
the complaint has been made are
being handled by the Nat C.
Goodwin brokerage company of
this city, and that it is the inten-
ton of the government to inyes-
tigate the methods employed by
this brokerage firm.
1t is understood that the gov
eminent officials will investigate
the sending out of the report of
the robbery said to have takan
place at RaWhide recently, and
which is claimed to have been
put on the Associated Press wire
by Graham Rice, who is the head
OF the Goodwin company.
The fact that the government
will take hand in checking the
boosting of wildcat mines in this
state will be good news to the
legitimate mining operators of
the state, and will mean a great
deal to the camps that are at the
present time springing into prom
inence all over the state. Carson

A pow-woW of the democratic

at Reno recently and the ques-
ton of the coming campaign in
Nevada was considered. In the
council were Senator Newlands,
Judge ]. G. Sweeney. Bullion
Collector Jim" Nevin and John
L. Considine and acouple of 9TH
ers. The conference lasted for
some time, and it is known that
the subject under discussion was
the candidacy of Mr.. Newlands
for United States senator the
coming election.
There has been some disfec-
ton in the party circles through
out the state on the Newlands
question, and a number of the
old leaders and many of the new
politicians of the Democratic
ranks are laying for the senator
from Chevy Chease." It was

threads and to try and get his
affairs at home" arranged for
the coming campaign that Sena-
tor Newlands came to Nevada
and called into council some of
the younger element of the

1t might be interesting, too,
for some of the old-line party,
and especially the friends of
Sparks. to know that in the con-
ference at Reno were the men
who succeeded in putting a quiz

ton of national committee

of Jim" Nevin in that crowd is
rather incongruous. Carson

JEROME DISTRICT ENJOYING B|C BOOM Never So Prosperous As Now, Says Chief
 Police Hawkins Shelters Running Full Blast And Rich
 New Finds
(t'rom Tuesdays DailyD

''Jerome and the mining district tri- butary to it was never as prosperous as now." said Fred Hawkins. chief of police of the Copper City, who is here on court business, said yesterday to a Journal.Minc man. "In addition to the United Verde mines and smeltcrs, which are running in full blast, several other concerns are prosecuting work, several in a large way. There are no idle men in the town and everybody has money.
 'Prcsent prospects, are that the Sil. ent mine, of the Hull Copper company group, will prove among the large ones teen feet of ore now in sight in the property which is tapped by the Dil. lon tunnel. The orc body is being open. ed at . depth of nearly 1000 feet and from surface indications, all mining men who have examined the property, give as their opinion that the ore de. posit tapped in the tunnel reaches al. most to the surface. The force of min. CTS in the mine has been increased and there is considerable ore being mined there every day. The tunnel is being pushed ahead at fast as possible and connections will be made with the 1888 shaft in a short time. as drift from the shaft is being run to connect with it.
 Sinking continues in the Little Daisy shaft, one of the properties of the United Verde Extension Mining company. Good headway is being made In the shaft and miners familiar with geological conditions in and around Je- rome, are confident that a large body of ore will he opened soon deeper down.
 "The Haynes Copper company is al so active and working a considerable force of men on the Harryhousen n group, which adjoins the United Verde Copper company's holdings on the north.
 Drifting on the 800 foot level in the shaft of the Arkansas < Arizona Copper company is progressing satis factorily to the management and the Mescval Mining company, company organized last year, is conducting de. velopment on it's holdings in Mescal Cullen, south of the United Verde mines.
 "Several other concerns are work ing small forces of men and a few are making preparations to commence op- erations soon on properties recently taken over under bond.'

NORMAL SHIPMENT ID DOUGLAS
 SHELTERS Reports Of A Decrease In Tonnage Without
 Foundation
Hundreds Of Carloads Being Stored Until It
 Can Be Handled
,From Tueeday,s DalIyl

Notwithstanding the various reports that the mining companies of the dis. trict arc shipping less ore than at any time in the history of the camp, since the erection of the smelters at Douglas. shipments the past two months nave been about the same as the months previous, says the Bisbce Review. The amount of ore shipped to Douglas by the Calumet & Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg companies amounts to from l,200 to t,500 tons daily. Seventeen to twenty cars are shipped to Douglas every day in the week from the Calu- met & Arizona properties, the Oliver and Irish Mag, five to seven cars from the latter, the vest from the former. The Superior & Pittsburg company is shipping from thirteen to fifteen cars per day. Of this amount. one ear n day is shipped from the Junction and six ar seven cars arc shipped from both the Hoatson and Cole shafts.
 The ore shipped from these prop. critics is not all being smelted at pres. ent owing to the inability of the smelt. CT to handle it on account of the great amount of new work being done at the plant, such as the moving of convert CTS and enlarging of the furnaces. Some of the ore is being piled up at the As ha ( wi ha stored thus until the shelter can han. dle it.
 At the Copper Queen properties, the sme number of ears are being sent to the Douglas shelter daily ss in the past few months. The storage bins at the smelter are almost filled and most all the ore shipped at present is being smelted.

KIT CARSON HITS RICH COLO
 LEDGE
(From Tuesdays Daily)

(FrOm Tuesdays Daily
 Kit Carson is confident that he will soon be able to reckon his wealth in the six figures, provided n rich mineral find he recently made in the Mineral Point district proves as good with depth as it shows on the surface. MT. Carson is enthusiastic over his recent strike, the epsystreak of which aver able amount of 1t assaying nearly 5000 to the ton in gold. He and his brother. in.law. D. F. Holt, have a new shaft sunk to depth of fourteen feet on the vein which they discovered two weeks ago, the ledge showing n width of Ave feet between walls. with the rich pay streak on the footwall. After making the strike they located n group of Ave claims, which they named the Opair group.
 Mr. Carson, in speaking of the claims to Journal.Mi representative here yesterday said, "In my many years experience as mining engineer, pros pector and trapper. I never saw ledge with such a promising showing and am confident that it will prove as rich as the mines of King solomon after which the group is named. In pros pec,ing the mountains of Arizona, |, has been my custom to earn few honest dollars as trapper and hunter This has been a side issue with me many years have trapped and killed | over 10000 wild animals in my career in the Rocky mountains, but no more trapping goes as long as my new min eral find holds out. I do not care what the supervisors say constitutes a lobc wolf any longer. The gold I take out of the Ophir will keep the wolf from the door. It will certainly hold out a' the paystrcak carries from three to Av, per cent in copper in addition to thu gold values.
