Conditions would indicate that
the robbers had familiarized
themselves with the system EN-
ployed in the bank, from the
fact that they chose the noon
hour to do their work. the only
time possible for them to have
secured any money. All money
is put ina time lock safe at other
times, which would give the
most expert a hard struggle to
open. The manner in which the
back door was battered would
indicate that the work was done
in a crude manner, with no
thought of results other than to
gain an entrance.

Will Build
Race Course
To Construct Circular Track
At the Base Ball
Grounds.

A movement which will be of
material benefit to the people of
Phoebe and a welcome acquisition
to lovers of horse racing, has
been set under way by some Of
our local enthusiasts. 1t is the
construction of a circular track
at the ball grounds. No one
more fully realizes the inconven-
ince the people must at present
undergo to witness this sport at
Phoebe, than those of US who have
lived here for some years past.
In the majority Of celebrations
of recent years horse racing has
been one of the chief features,
and the only available place for
the events to be pulled off has
been the four-mile house. This
is quite a distance to travel, and
has retarded many from attend
ing. Also. it is the most disa-
greeable spot in this section,
winds and dust being omnipres-
ent.
The purpose now is to build a
quarter-mile circular track sur
rounding the ball grounds, and
work to that end is at present
under way. The grand stand can
be utilized, adding greatly to the
comfort Of spectators, a condi-
tion which will materially en-
hance the popularity Of the sport
in Piocne.

Machinery Is
About Ready

These are busy days at the
Nevada-Des Moines property,
and we have been informed by
Manager D. G. Mahedy that the
engine and compressor will be
ready for operation within a few
days. The first whistle may be
heard on Tuesday next.
Then vigorous work will be
prosecuted sinking the main
shaft on the Baltimore claim.
Ingersoll drills will be used, and
the work can be finished in Il
short time. If you're wise and
can get Nevada-Des Moines
stock, now is the time.

Another Bold
Hold Up Here

Yesterday afternoon in Justice
ConnelPs court, one j. G. Craig
signed and swore to a complaint
against Jas. Pierson, charging
the latter with grand larceny.
The hold up feature of the affair
is that Lincoln county has all
fees to pay in a case which was
a farce from beginning to end.
Craig visited Jack Rabbit re-
Gently, and from his own sworn
testimony, proceeded to cele-
brate in the saloon run by Pier
son & Blair; after spending the
best part of the day and por-
tion of the night in making a
good fellow of himself, he woke
up about 500 shy also minus q
ring. Pierson produced the ring
and it would appear from Blair
statements, that Pierson ad-
vanced his fare back to Phoebe
More care should be taken ii

every person that happens along
with personal troubles. District
Attorney Horsey asked for 9
dismissal of the case as soon as
the States evidence has beer
finished and Pierson was dis
charged.

the compilation prior to said

gasoline engine has been ordered,
which viii be used for operating
the compressor for the machine
drills. The compressor now in
use at the Prince mine will be
transferred there as soon as the
100 horse power engine recently
hauled to the Prince is installed.
The company will then rush
work on a drift for the purpose
of connecting the Greenwood
property with the Susan Duster
mine. In the prosecution of this
work it is expected that the veins
on the Independent and Alberta
claims will be fully developed,
which, together with the Susan
Duster, will furnish an abun-
dance of ore for a mill. Mr..
Godbe stated that it is the pres
ent purpose of the company to
erect a mill for the reduction of
these ores, at an early date.
1t is an assured fact from de-
velopments already had that
sufficient ore can be had to fur.
nish a mill of considerable ton.
mage reduction each day for 6
number of years, and which has
been proven from tests made tC
be the most satisfactory manner
of treating these ores.
That a mill will be constructed
is an assured fact, but it is no
absolutely settled as to whether
it will be placed at Phoebe o.
Bullionville; however, the indi
cations are to the effect tina
Phoebe will be the point at which
it is constructed.

at that time kept. This proved
too much for the house breakers,
as they were unable to open it.
Had they done so, they would
have been richly rewarded as
considerable amount of valuable
jewelry was contained therein.
These repeated house breaking
and burglary events are arous-
ing the people to a high state cf
indignation, and repeated threats
have been made that unless it is
stopped. Phoebe will not be a
healthy place for suspicious char

One of the boldest robberies
which has taken place in Phoebe
in a number of years was con-
summated Tuesday noon, when
the local bank was robbed of
about five hundred dollars.
During the noon hour, when
Cashier Fitzpatrick was at lunch.
the rear door of the bank was
forced open and an entrance
made to the inside. 1t is the
custom to lock in a drawer in the
counter, money which is used for
change, when the bank is to be
closed for but a short time. This
drawer was forced open and the
contents, amounting to about
five hundred dollars taken.

May Remove
Indian School
Government Contemplating
Such Action.

Acting Governor Campbell is
in receipt of a communication
from Secretary to the Governor
Finch; stating the secretary of
Indian affairs had written him
to the effect that the government
contemplated moving the Indian
school from Carson City. We
would dislike very much to see
this done, and every influence
should be brought to bear to stop
such an action. In the letter the
suggestion is made that the state
buy the ground and buildings
used by the school, should it be
removed for an industrial school.
This, we believe, would be a
capital idea. Nevada stands in
need of an institution eff this
character more than any other.
At present when it becomes nee
essary to punish youths for crime
they must of necessity be sent to
the state penitentiary, a deplora-
bic condition. We hope that in
the event of the removal of the
Indian school the suggestion of
the secretary is taken advantage
OF and an industrial school insti-
tuted.
