SHELTER FOR
PlOCHE IS SURE

Samuel Newhouse has seen Phoebe and
ne mas learned that, while he has been
interested for many months, that he never
had the least conception of what his in
terestS really amounted to. He spent
three days there and when he left ii was
with frank admission that Anthony II.
Godbe, who was responsible for his buy
ing INTO the camp had not only refrained
rom mtsrepresenting anything to him,
out mad been so ultra conservative in his
representations that he was simply be-
Wlldered with what he had seen At a
banquet held Tuesday evening the big
chlet Of the Boston Consolidated and
Newhouse mines showered compliments
on Mr.. Godbe in such a lavish manner
that the recipient of them has been upset
ever since.
But there is satisfaction in knowing"
said MIR. Godbe on his arrival from camp
Yesterday morning, that Mr.. NewhouSe
without coaching and without depending
on the opinions of anybody else has
found that we have mines down there
that are as big or bigger than any he
ever saw, or at least many times better
and bigger than he had ever been per-
suaded 10 think they were. Mr.. Newhouse
now knows that no one has made false
or exaggerated reports to him concern
ing the value of the Ohio-Kentucky or
the Prince Consolidated companies in
which he is largely interested, and he
knows from his own personal inVestiga-
tons that his holdings are intrinsicaIly
nm. He has trusted us to make good
at the mines. and he now declares that
his confidence has not been abused. Fer
these reasons 1 appreciate the ungrudged
compliments he has seen fit to throw at
me-"
After inspecting the Susan Buster bo-
nanza OF the OhiO-Kentucky company;
after going all over the surface and
through every nook and Granny of the
underground workings. and after doing
the same thing at the Prince Consolidat-
ed, together with a survey of the great
masses of $50 tailings at BulliOnville, Mr.
NeWhOuse is reported as saying. in an
swer TO questions fired at him:
Will Build d Big SmeIter.
mo, it is not additional development
that is required here now. 1t is reduc-
ton works that we want in order that
the millions of wealth l have seen eX-
posed and awaiting treatment. may be
converted into bullion and coin of the
realm. What We need now is a smelteT
OF not less than 500 tons daily capacity,
and l promise you now that We shall
have it, and that speedily"
What else was there for him to say?
He found the Susan Buster mine with
its forty-fOOt thick ore bodies. splendidly
opened up for practically 800 feet in
depth; he saw the Prince Consolidated,
with its 100000 or 100000 tons of avail
able smelling ores and magnificent fluXes,
and he saw about 5000 900 worth of I'M
coined $50 gold pieces in the sensation
ally rich tailings dumps at Bullionville,
and he also saw the great belts of lime
at hand ready 10 use as fluX in the smelt-
er. He saw the lands on which TO build
the works, saw the water and saw all
the other natural advantages that go to
round out an ideal mining and smelling
proposition. and he must have seen at
the same time the opportunity of his
life 10 accomplish more than he has ever
accomplished in the mining world, not
understanding his numerous successes; so
nAf Ill hEut
that he will be quick to act, for that is
a characteristic of his.
Mines for Miles Around.
The camp of Phoebe. which is surround
ed for twenty miles by more and better
mines than any camp in the state of Ne
Vada can boast, bar none, VIII now forge
to the front as it ought to do. Every pro-
Queer who wants il will find a market
for his ore right at the portals of his
property. so to speak. and il is now up
to the mine owner and the corporations
that have good properties down there to
get busy and bring them to a high state
of development. They need not fear that
smelling facilities will be limited and that
some of them may be cut out of the 10
cal market. 1t is about the easiest thing
in the world TO increase the capacity Of a
smelter, and when the Ohio Kentucky and
Prince Consolidated combinations get to-
gether and build the promised works, no
one need fear but that all requirements
Mr.. GOdbe, his brother Ernest. Colonel
James l.. Hackett of Louisville. KY, and
a few faithful and nervy friends have
worked increasingly during the past two
or three years to accomplish all that has
been done up to the present time. and
while no money has been thrown away.
large sums have been expended in the
opening of the mines, mines that are
now developed to a point where 1t would
not require a great number of men to
add 100000 a month to the value of "ore
in sight in either of them. There has
been no noise, no buster about all this
work at Phoebe. The arrangements have
simply dug up the money and with it
dug up the ore that will go to make
the old camp sweep all past records into
the shade during the next few years. Mr..
NewhOuse has helped, with the rest. He
will do more than ever from now on,
because he knows the goods are there
and that conditions are ripe for the big
dOings"
The NeWhouse party was at the Cactus
yesterday. From there it is the inten-
ton to go back and into GOldfield, where
Mr.. NeWhOuse has business, by way of
Las Vegas, and return to Salt Lake next
Thursday by way of the Southern Pa
cific.
