such a policy, consistently pur-
sued, will result in adding an
other producing mine to the Pi-
oche district. Both forks of the
Yuba porphyry dixie pass
through the property, and the
influence of that dixie in gener-
ating ore bodies in its vicinity
has been effectively demonstrat-
ed in a dozen places.
We congratulate the people of
that rich section of Ohio on this
opportunity to become interested
in the coming great camp of
Nevada.
In this connection we cannot
but express our regret that we
have permanently lost the Scott
brothers, whose genial natures
and courteous bearing made
them such welcome members of
our little colony here. It is
their purpose to return to Toledo
and be associated with their
father in his extensive interests
there.

Coming
To the Front
Tunnel to Tap Four Veins In One
Hundred and Forty Feet.

The other officers of the Pi-
oche X-Kay Mining & Milling
company came in a few days ago
for conference with DR.. w. P.
Murray, secretary. There were
J. W. Taylor, president and
general manager, Isaac Hinkle,
treasurer, and D. Taylor, one of
the directors.
The genial Joe says their great
vein in the Highland district will
cause its owners to outsmile any
thing in the camp. The incom-
parable Mendha is on the same
vein, and John Cook and Bill
Lloyd are available for the team
If necessary, but Joe Taylor in
sists that the Phoebe X-ray alone
is sufficient to give the vein the
record.
In fact, he says they have the
big Mendha vein and three others.

w. L. Cook a Visitor

w. L. Cook of Salt Lake City,
one Of the principal owners in
the Hodges-Cook Mercantile Co.,
spent several days here this
week. He had not been here
before for several months, and
was naturally amazed at the
progress the camp has been
making.
Mr.. Cook had very kind words
for the Record, and improved
the opportunity to leave two and
a-half with a request that the
paper be sent to him for one
year. His discernment and good
judgment are commended to the
thoughtful attention of the
thousands all over this broad land
whose eyes are turned towards
Phoebe, and who desire to see
Phoebe fulfill her destiny.

Judges Talbot
and Brown
interested With Fred w.
Dickle in Valuable Min
ing Property.

Hon. Geo. F. Talbot, one of
the supreme justices of the state
of Nevade, and Hon. Geo. S.
Brown, judge of the Fourth Ju-
dicial District, which includes
Lincoln county, are associated
with our esteemed townsman,
f. W. Dickle, in two properties
IN this section that will have a
future. One is known as the F.
W. Dickle mine at Jack Rabbit,
where it adjoins the Payday, and
is near the famous Day mine of
the Nevada Utah. The other is
the Pilot group of five claims on
the Bristol side of the Jack Rab-
bit range. This group adjoins
the Libbie Williams lode, now
owned by the Bristol Consolidat-
ed Mines & Smelling Company,
and a big producer when the
Bristol smelter was in operation.
When that mountain gets it's sec
ond wind it will surprise every
body, even those who are best
informed, regarding its history
and present wonderful showings.
We cannot in this short notice do
more than suggest the good for
tune in store for those eminent
jurists and their associate. The
day is not far distant when their
ground will be in demand at a
handsome price. We confidently
look forward to the day when
the Phoebe member of that syn
dicate, in purple and fine linen,
'arrayed like one of these, !"
and his pockets full of kopecks
shall become an every-present
example to the world of the pos
sibilities which these hills afford.
Development is now in progress
on both properties.

ReOrganiZed
New Officers Elected, With C. A. Bond
of Columbus, Ohio, as President

H. ]. Scott, and his brother,
L. A. Scott, of Toledo, Ohio,
have been here this week in the
interest of the Lincoln-Nevada
Mining & Milling Company,
which has lately been reorgan-
lied and the capital increased
from $1.OOO,00O to $1.5OO, 900.
The new officers are: President,
Chas. Anson Bond of Columbus.
Ohio; vice-president, John A.
Scott of Toledo, Ohio; secretary
and treasurer, DR.. Frank Win
ders of Columbus, Ohio; fiscal
agent, w. M Jackson of Marion,
Ohio.
The company is now in strong
hands, harmony prevails in the
management, and plans are being
perfected to resume work. It is
the intention to make all the ne
cessary arrangements for vigor-
Gus and persistent development.
With the large amount of valua-
bic ground owned by the compa-
ny there can be no doubt that

veins, is now in 140 feet. He is
erecting a new commissary

Looking Up
Land Titles

w. Howard Ogborn from Gin

titles to the Hiram Weiser ranch
in the Muddy valley near Moapa.
The people who always refer to
Nevada as "The Sage Brush
State" will soon be forced to
change over their system. While
this state is coming up every few
days " ith a new, valuable mine,
the seductive opportunities for
agriculture are not being over
looked. Many of the best ranch
es in the entire west are in Ne
vada, and better still in Lincoln
county. Mr.. Ogborn has Sc

Purchased the
Geyser Ranch

Last week j. S. Bergman of
Los Angeles was here with R. S.
Baverstock on his way to the
Geyser Ranch which he recently
purchased from A. Tothill. The
ranch contains 1900 acres and is
a very valuable property. Mr.,
Bergman was one of the original
locators of the Skidoo mine. He
realized a handsome stake out of
that mine and had the good for
tune to learn of the Geyser ranch
and to secure it, with it's inval-
liable water rights.
Mr.. Baverstock is a member of
the firm of Baverstock & Staples
of Los Angeles, assayers and
chemists with an enviable repu-
tation. Mr.. Baverstock went
out with Mr.. Bergman to make a
reconnaissance of the region with
special reference to it's mining re-
sources. AS sure as the sun
will rise tomorrow morning,
there is going to be a camp out
in that section again. The old
town of Patterson was the scene
of much excitement before the
world heard of Phoebe. 1t will
be born again.

Mccormick and

Salt Lake Mining Men Visit
This Famous Property.

Lewis S. Mccormick and ]. F.
Judge came in a few days ago
on the evening train and left the
following morning. They are
prominent mining men from Salt
Lake and came to see the Prince.
Their time was limited, but they
had to see this new wonder of
the mining world, even if valua-
BILE sleep was lost. So Monty
hitched up one of his finest, /"
Bill Lloyd got out the fur over
coats, and Ernest Hodges joined
the gang. A bottle of "precau-
ton" was taken aboard, and
they went over in the storm.
The visitors returned in such a
state of excitement over what
they had seen that they could
neither sleep themselves nor per-
nit others to do so. 1t was
pretty tough on Hodges and
Lloyd, but they can console
themselves with the assurance
that few people anywhere have
the chance to show visitors such
a mine as the Prince, day or
night.

A Prophecy
Is Fulfilled
Moses and the Prophets Take to the
Tall Timber.

We remember vividly our first
visit with S. T. Godbe, the
eminent mining engineer. who
was so closely identified with the
second period of Phoebe. We
talked of many things related to
the past. the present and the flu
ture of the camp. and finally
came to the Prince mine, then a
quien sabe" proposition. Mr..
Godbe said, Il realize that it will!
produce an enormous tonnage of
low-grade manganese ore and
that will yield a small margin of
profit, but the fact about that
mine which l regard as of con-
trolling Importance, is that when
they get down to the right hori-
zon they are going to find veins
of high-grade material resem-
bling that which first gave fame
and fortune to Phoebe. That,
when they find it, is what is 60
ing to make the Prince the great
mine it will be-"
Never in all our wide and va
ried mining experience have we
ever known so bold a prophecy
so overwhelmingly verified.

Mr.. Godbe the first rich vein was
disclosed in the Prince, on the

New Mining Editor

One of the most important
events related to mining which
has lately transpired in the south
western section of the United
States occurred in Los Angeles
last week when Sidney Norman
assumed editorial charge of the
American Mining Review. Mr..
Norman, as editor of the mining
department of the Los Angeles
Times, wrote the most forceful
articles which appeared in that
paper on any subject. He has
been in close touch with mining
matters and mining men for as
many years as it would be posi-
BILE for a man of his age to be,
for Mr.. Norman has hardly
reached the prime of a magnifi-
cent m nhood.
We feel that Los Angeles
should be congratulated upon
having Mr.. Norman now where
his efforts will not be restricted,
but when he can throw the whole
energy of his enthusiastic nature
into missionary work for the
town he believes in, which in it's
attitude towards mining is like a
spoiled child. We also extend
our congratulations to Mr.. Nor
man. There is no position in the
world where a man who feels
that he has mission to perform
for his fellow men can be quite
as happy as when he wields an
unbought pen, with plenty of
room. If, as in Mr.. Norman S
case, he is master of the English
language, he is a king in his
power.

Visits
Ely Valley

Edward Thomarson called on
US last Saturday with his friend
S. H. Adams, from the F. C.
Richmond Machinery company
of Salt Lake City, dealers in gen.
ereal mining machinery, and
western sales agent for the
Alamo Manufacturing company
of Hillsdale, Michigan, and the
Chicago Pneumatic Tool COM
pany.
At the Ely Valley Mr.. Thomar-
son has an Alamo hoist and an
auxiliary Alamo engine to run a
fan and operate the pump.
The Ely Valley has also a three
drill Franklin air compressor.
These compressors are among
the specialties of the Pnuenmatic
Tool company, which has also
furnished three-drill machines
to the Mendha, Prince and Ohio
Kentucky and a nine-drill ma
chine to the Boston & Phoebe.
Mr.. Adams informed US that j.
A. Kirby and associates are 90
ing to install at once a so horse
power and a Is horsepower AL
amo hoist, one on the Point prop
erty and the other on their group
adjoining the Prince. 1t is very
interesting to hear Mr.. Thomar-
son talk of the superior excel
lence of the Ely Valley plant,
and its extraordinary economy
in fuel consumption.
Mr.. Adams says he finds an
optimistic feeling all over Ne
vada since election, but that, so
far as he can interpret the signs,
Phoebe is to be the banner camp,

National Group
Promises Big

Ever since the return of Chas.
D. Osborn from Salt Lake City
he has been at work developing
the National group of three
claims adjoining the Mendha
group. Since he began work the
ore has shown great improve
ment, and Charlie and his part
ner, Eugene Goodrich, believe
they have a big thing in these
claims. Judging from the sam
pies of silver-lead ore brought in
from there, it looks as if they
are right. What a camp that
district promises to be.

Phoebe School
Bonds Taken

lnrOuSn an u1aVOlQaDle accl-
dent the following item was
crowded out of last week issue.
No other one feature does SO
much to attract desirable resi-
dents to a mining town as its
schools. People desire to live
where their children can have
advantages, This was illustrated
at the last election, when an
overwhelming majority of votes
was cast for q high school,
which, unless we are vigilant, is
likely to go to some town in what
will later be Clark county. The
very thought of a school was SO
attractive that it compelled
votes, even though the proposed
school was liable to be in another
county. The reflection that taxes
must be raised to support it was
for the moment forgotten. But
whether we are going to have
the high school or not, a good
graded school is assured.
A. A. Carman, chairman, Jesse
Simmons and H. E. Prudential,
secretary, constituting the board
of school trustees of Phoebe
school district No. l, met on
Monday November 30th, to con-
slider bids for the SIS, 900 bonds
lately voted for a new school
building in Pioche. The only
bid received was submitted by
John Neveen & Co., bankers of
Chicago. This house offered to
pay a bonus of $225 for the bonds
and to pay the cost of engraving
and printing. The board re-
garded the offer satisfactory and
accepted it. The bonds will be
due January l, 1919, and will
bear 8 per cent interest.
Edward Thomarson was called
to Salt Lake on mining business
last Wednesday. The compan-
les which Mr.. Thomarson repre-
sents here, the Nevada Horn
Silver Mining Co., the Ely Val
ley Mining and Milling Co. and
the Quartz Springs Water Co.,
are going to be increasingly i'm
portant factors in this camp.
We hope in the near future to
be able to speak of them more
at length.
James P. Gaskill, chief engi-
neer and general western mana
ger of the Nevada Utah, re-
turned Monday from a flying trip
to the outside. The Nevada
Utah is a great property, and we
had planned to have a fine story
about it this week, but our space
is gone and the story must wait.
The Nevada Des Moines start,
ed up again Monday. The drift
will be continued towards the
south under the hill. We believe
there will be more good news tt
publish soon from this enterprise
on which so many hopes are cen
tered.

of the Mining Industry of Den
yer, then owned and edited by
w. C. Wynkoop. The Mining
World has had a liberal patron
age in Phoebe, and we regret
that it has not published more
about this camp. Of the large
mining journals of wide circula-
ton and influence, the Mining
and Scientific Press has given US
more attention than all the rest
put together.

Returned From Salt Lake

Ed F. Prudential is back
again from Salt Lake. When
Eds conspicuous from is seen
upon the street in that city the
reporters as one man say: Here
comes Phoebe again" And they
fall upon his neck and attempt
lin vain) to embrace him; and
Ed smiles and suggests that all
smile" and as they smile, "
Ed tells them the latest news
about the awakening of Pioche.
and in the next issue it comes
out with the biggest kind of
head lines, and is scattered
broadcast over the country to
add to the increasing interest
which the mining world is taking
in us. Ed is always Pioche's
apostle of prosperity.
