in his honor by the citizens of Phoebe
on Tuesday evening. Nh Newhouse
frankly admitted that he had met Win
some pleasant surprises and announced
his intention of taking steps toward
the immediate construction of smelt-
err Mt Bullionville. He said the Ohio
Kentucky mine was a much greater
proposition than he expected to find
It. while the Prince Consolidated fur.
nished him with another surprise that
he was not looking for. He paid a
tribute to the late w. S. Godbe, one of
the conspicuous figures and most active
operators in the early days OF the camp

been accomplished in later years by
members of his family. making par

100000 worth of ore awaits smelter

report about the building of a smelter
at Phoebe by Mr.. Newhouse and stated
that the initial unit OF the plant will
be no less than 500 tons per day.
The smelter, Mr.. Godbe says. will not
only handle the output of the Ono

mines but will be open to other mines
in the camp as well In other words
it will be a custom plant, and will aid
the producers of Phoebe materially in

standing against the property will he
offered 800 shares of stock, assessment
