Tell Troubles
To Recorder
Location Notices Recite the
Fact that Work is Pre-
vented by Force of
Arms

Something unique in the form
OF a location notice was received
in the recorder 5 office this week.
The notices make the usual reci-
tations as to the amount of
ground claimed along the ledge,
and the width claimed, but at the
point where a statement of the
work and the stakes should be
made, the following is substitut-
ed: This claim is not staked,
nor the work done, on account of
being elected with a Winches-
ter. " Evidently there is con-
tention over the right to hold the
claim, and one Of the parties, at
least, intends to back up his
claim by force. We are not in a
position to learn the cause of the
trouble, or the merits, but the
records Of Lincoln county will
contain at least one instance
where force of arms has been
resorted to in order to hold min
ing ground.

Are Ordering
General Cleanup

The officers have taken steps
toward enforcing a general clean
up of the town. In many in
stances the yards of business and
private houses are in such condi-
ton that they are dangerous to
the general health conditions of
the town. The officers state that
a determined effort will be made
to strictly enforce the law. The
usual ten days notice is being
given, and if proper notice is not
taken by the individuals so noti-
fed, prosecutions will follow, as
the officers state that they will
be no respecter of persons in this
movement.

Sells Interest
For Good Price
B. S. Num- Deeds to r. Mclaughlin
Claim in Phoebe Town.

Another mining deal of consid-
erable Importance was consum-
mated this week by the transfer
of a one-half interest in the Ell
Monica mining claim from B. S.
Num- to Robert Mclaughlin.
This claim is situated on the hill
ascending to the northeast from
China Town, and in fact, takes
in a large portion of the ground
covered by that section. 1t is
in close proximity to the big
mines of the district lying at the
foot of claims owned by the Bam-
berger Exploration company.
The consideration for the trans
fer was $1,000, which was paid
upon the delivery of the deeds.
Mr.. Mclaughlin will push de-
velopment on the claims, and tc
that end a force of men are now

Some agitation is being started
throughout the state in relation
to the platforms of both Demo-

should be given due considera-
ton by both parties this fall.
The Ormsby county grand jury

startling revelations have been
made by Receiver Frank L.

Is Looking
Into History

Miss Jennie Elizabeth Weir,
secretary of the Nevada Histori-
cal Society, spent a couple of
days in Phoebe the fore part of
the week lookingin the history
of this section. The society is
compiling data from which it eX-
poets to have an accurate history
of this section. Miss Weir states
that her Investigations have de-
elo ped the fact that much of
the history written at present is
incorrect, which she has beer
able to verify in conversation
with many of the early settlers
of this section.

One of the strongest points in
the market is Westinghouse,
which has advanced rapidly on
the we'll authenticated report that
the success of the new financial
plan is assured.
In the curb market, Combina-
tion Fraction, Mcnamara and
West End have held the center
OF the stage. The buying of
Combination Fraction has been
of the best kind. The reports
from Goldfeld leave no doubt in
the minds of the initiated that
the new strike in Combination
Fraction is one of vast impor-
tance, and that the stock is apt
to go to levels considerably high
er than those which now obtain.
Two or three weeks ago it was
suggested in this column that
Combination Fraction would go
to $l.50 a share; it will probably
go higher than that. The stock
has already advanced from 40
cents to $1.15. Nc. Namara is
being bought apparently by large
stockholders in West End, who
have been advised that the liti-
cation between these two COM
panies is to be amicably adjusted
and consolidation effected,
which will make West End Con-
solidated the most important
company in Tonopah, with the
exception only of Tonopah Min
ing and Montana.
First National Copper is strong
and will advance further. There
is no obstacle in the way of the
continued upward market move
ment in this stock, as there was
in the case of Yukon, which was
last advertised by Thomas w.
Lawson. In the case of Yukon
there was considerable sluffing
by insiders. Good Goldfeld
stocks should be purchased now,
and Arizona coppers, particular
ly Imperial and Miami, should be
bought unhesitatingly. In a few
more months it will be impossi-
BILE to buy them at any such fig
uress as now obtain.

time by A. w. Scott, and sam
pies of chloride of silver running
thousands of dollars per ton taken
out. Of late work has not been
progressing in an aggressive
manner, and it is to facilitate
this, that the present incor-
poration is being perfected.
The company is formed under
the laws of the territory Of Ari-
zona, and will be for 81, 900, 900
capitalization. No election of
of officers has as yet been held,
but these details will shortly be
perfected. Considering the
worth of the ground and its 10
cality, with a little energetic and
consistent development, this
company should give a good ac-
count of itself in ore production
in a short time.

Mining Man
From Des MOines
Sees Golden Prince and Is
Much Pleased.

Mr.. Mitchell of Des Moines,
Iowa, accompanied by George E.
Coke of Caliente, was in Phoebe
the greater portion of this week
inspecting the properties of the
Golden Prince company. A thor
ough examination of the ground
was made by Mr.. Mitchell, and
while he was not inclined to talk
as to his impressions, to any de-
gree, we understand that he was
very fayorably impressed with
the property.
The Golden Prince company is
steadily forging ahead with its
development work, which is
bringing to light some very fine
ore. Lately a number of sam
Piles were taken along the exten-
sive ledge exposed, and the sam
pies were far beyond their most
sanguine expectations. One of
the samples gave a return of
of over sixty dollars to the ton in
values. Thus with the interest
ing of capital the Golden Prince
is destined to become another
big one" in that section sur

employed in extending the tun-
mel running from Main street.
The remaining half interest in
the claim is owned by Robert
Schofield, an old-time resident
and prospector of Pioche.
Situate as it is in a choice Sec
ton, with proven mines sur
rounding on all sides, it is safe
to assume that with proper de-
velopment the Ell Monica will be-
come a mine of merit, and should
demonstrate ore producing quail
ties within a few months. We
understand that eastern capita
will be interested, and from
other undertakings in which
Mr.. Mclaughlin is interested, We
know that the people with whom
he deals are of the kind that dc

To Map Out
Course of Study

The five deputy state superin-
tendents are now meeting in this
city grading examination papers,
considering a uniform course of
study for the schools and other
matters relating to the school in
terests of Nevada, says the Car
son News. Probably the m os
serious problem they have at
hand is the agreeing upon a uni
form course of study for all the
schools Of the state to follow, and
which is intended to be put into
effect next fall. The officials
expect not only to arrange a
course of study for the primary
and grammar grades, but also
the high schools of the state.
A committee composed OF
twenty-one persons, comprising
five professors of the state uni.
versity, the five deputy superin
tendents and eleven principals o.
high schools of the state ha.
been appointed and will meet il
this city next Wednesday t,
make the final selection of tn
course of study for the higl
school.

New York Market News

The course of the market is
still upward. In fact, during
the past two or three weeks there
have been times when it has lost
its manipulated appearance, and
has shown the ear-marks Of a
genuine bull movement partici-
pated in by the public. In very
large measure this change has
been due to the fact that there
is a growing and widespread re-
newaf of public confidence in bet
ter times. Business has been
improving improving rapidly,
and the country is fast being
converted to a belief in sound
business revival. 1t is Just this
revival of public confidence that
makes prosperity possible. So
long as men are filled with mis-
giving and doubt, they will never
act There is nothing truer in
the world Of business than that
confidence makes business.
When men believe that their own
business is going to prosper, they
will make commitments. When
they are pessimistic or doubtful,
they hold on to the purse strings,
and the result is general clog
ging of business activities all
along the line.
The effect Of the Standard Oil
decision in Chicago, by which
Keneshaw Mountain Landis was
reversed, and the twenty-nine
million dollar fine set aside, has
been good and will have a ten
dency to improve the tone of the
markets generally. Financial
New York and the country gen.
orally have long been of the
opinion that the Lands decision
was unjust, and a survey of the
reasons governing the court OF
appeals, which set aside Judge
Landis' judgment, confirm that
belief.
The market should continue
firm, and it will probably contin
ue to advance for another week
or two. From a speculative
standpoint, the market is still
sound, and stocks can be safely
bought.

BOStOn-PiOche
Shipping Ore

Wednesday another car of
high-grade was shipped from the
local depot for the Boston &
Phoebe company. This repre-
sents some of the finest ore to
be found in the district, and is
of the character that has made
the porphyry dyke famous for
its production of high silver and
lead ores. The ore before ship
ling is being carefully sorted, so
that freight is paid on nothing
but the bullion bearing rock, with
the result that the sampler re-
turns will show nice little profit
for the shippers.

Excitement
To the West
Many Claims Taken From
West Point to Burnt
Canyon

Considerable excitement has
been evidenced in and about Pi-
oche the last week or so over
valuable mineral finds in the ter
ritory embraced between West
Point and Burnt Canyon. Nu-
merous prospectors have been
out, and each have succeeded IN
getting good ground. Phoebe
people have not been asleep IN
this matter, that many groups OF
claims have been located, rang
ing from two to fourteen
claims in extent. Among these
are j. S. Free, Laurence Tullock
James Tullock, David Prophet
and M. L. Lee. Most of these
gentlemen are sanguine over the
prospective results, and have
started development on several
of the properties.
This territory has long been
known to contain a good mineral
showing, and desultory work has
been carried on from time to
time, not, however, with that
determination and vim so neces,
sary to the successful exploration
of undeveloped claims. Those
people holding them expected
surface results of a paying quail
ty, and when they did not get !
abandoned the ground. How
ever, we do not believe this vii
be the result under the presen
ownership. The claimants arr
people known to do things in tn
approved fashion, and the out
come is bound to be proven mine
in that section.

THE SUCCESSFUL MAN.

According to the current press,
Boston paper recently offered prize
for the best description of success.
The prize was won by woman
naturally, since woman is really en-
titled to all the prizes and is some
thing which every man should paste
in his hat and in reproducing the
same our only regret is that but few
will do so. Here is what the Kansas
lady said:
''He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved,
who has gained the respect Of intelli-
gent men and the love of little chill
dren; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task, who has left
the world better than he has found
it; whether by an improved seed, a
perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best
in others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory benediction. t5
The Grafton News commenting on
the above says:
We might add that this fellow will
never be considered first class bust
ness man. He may get rich, but his
associates will always tell how much
richer he could have been if he had
not been so t'easy." He will be look
ed upon with suspicion by the world
at large, and called upon to explain
his actions, sometimes before his
church, sometimes his lodge, and
even sometimes before a court of
justice. He will be called to account
daily by his wife, who, however, will
love him all the more because he per-
sists in following this course. Final
ly, he will die and go to heaven, il
there is one, whatever his creed may
be, and no amount of preaching will
make us believe otherwise
