says it cannot help but make
good. The Missouri Prince mine
is another property that looked
attractive to the visitor, so much
SO that he has become interested
in that proposition. The system

face, he declares. is indicitive of
what may be expected be-
low. Depth, he believes, is
all that is necessary to
make a winner out of the Mis-

The Missouri Prince has just
been equipped with a new gaso-

preSsOr.
Thomas B. Mathews, a wealthy
and influential mining man of
Selma, California, was with Mr..
Holbrook during his trip over
the district and he too, has be-
come a large shareholder in the
Missouri Prince. Although he
has extensive mining interest
elsewhere, the latter declared
Pioche to be one of the greatest
if not the greatest camps he was
ever in. With railroad facilities
at hand; the splendid develop
ments made in the past year and
with men of prominence in the
mining world foclking in, ac-
quiring properties and exploiting
them upon a large scale, Mr..
Holbrook believes nothing can
stop this district from going
ahead at a rapid pace.

DEATH Of J. D. WOOD:
Tragic Fate Of Prominent Salt Lake Mine
Operator and Capitalist.

]. D. Wood, a prominent mine
operator of Salt Lake, met with
a tragic death last Sunday even
ing, just as he was about take
the night train out on,the Salt
Lake Route for Phoebe, by being
run down by an engine which
had just brought in the Los An
geles Limited train from the
east, and which the engineer
was in the act of taking to the
round house.
Mr.. Wood had purchased his
tickets and placed his grips in
the Pullman sleeper. He then
stepped out of the car and
walked across the several tracks
to where the train from Butte
was standing, and it was while
doing so that he met his fate.
Many people were going hither
and thither about the depot
grounds at the time, yet no one
seems to have been a witness to
the accident; but the body was
found a few minutes after
ward crushed almost beyond
recognition. One leg was dis
membered; an arm had been
torn from its socket, while the
upper part of the skull was
mashed by reason of the ponder
Gus wheels Of the locomotive
passing over it, indicating that
the unfortunate man came to his
untimely and instantly.
His taking away is unfortunate
for Phoebe. He was interested
| with Simon Bamberger in Severa
groups Of claims here, and hac
just completed arrangements tt
start work on the property lying
adjacent to the domains Of the
Ohio KENTUCKY Mining company,
consent having been obtained tt
work through the Greenwood
shaft.
Mr.. Wood was widely known
throughout the west; owned ex
tensive mining and livestock in
terests, and was classed as ;
millionaire. Murray G. Godb
had arranged to accompany hin
to Phoebe, and planned to visi
several of the principal mines o
the camp with Mr.. Wood.

Lafayette Holbrook, one oi
Utah's leading mine operators,
was here this week and has
given this camp the strongest
kind of endorsement. Those
who know him best are aware OF
his extreme conservatism and il
is seldom that he "speaks right
out" as he did to a representa-
tive of the RECORD on the day
of his departure. He became
thoroughly imbued with Phoebe
enthusiasm, although he visited
only a small portion Of this vast
mineralized territory; his exam
ination being confined to that
portion Of the camp extending
from the Prince Consolidated
around to the Point mines.
II have been anxious to come
to Phoebe for some time," said
Mr.. Holdbrook, for | have be-
lieved that it is destined to be-
come one of the largest producing

PATTERSON IS ACTIVE.
c. S. BaveTStOCk Visits District and Finds Good
Surface ShOWinOS.

The Patterson district, located
about 60 miles north Of Pioche,
is attracting a great deal Of at
tention now, according to G. S.
Baverstock, the we'll known
Los Angeles metallurgist, who
has been up in that country on
professional business.
Mr.. Baverstock says the sur
face showihgs in that region are
most encouraging and has ex-
pressed the opinion that some
splendid mines will be developed
there. Considerable copper is
being found; but so far the ore
developed shows values running
principally in gold, silver and
lead.
In Cave valley, north of Pat
terson a few miles, are several
very promising lead prospects and
just below there, is where
the Ely and California parties
have started some excitement
over oil. Mr.. Baverstock con-
firms the report about the many
locations having been made there
and asserts that he has seer
oil found in paying quantities
in California where the indica-
tions were not near as favorable.

One OF the best evidences that
this camp is on the eve of going
ahead by leaps and bounds is
found in the fact that the Utah,
Nevada & Idaho Telephone COM
pany, which is subsidiary to the
Rocky Mountain Bell, is going to
bring its lines in here.
Hugh Thomas, for a number
OF years manager of the city de-
partment of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company at Salt
Lake, but who is now superin-
tendent of the Utah, Nevada &
Idaho corporation, was here this
week for the purpose of canvass
ing the situation. Just before
leaving camp Thursday morning
ne stated to the RECORD that the
business and other interests eff
the camp had given him great
encouragement, and that no
doubt any longer remained about
his company entering this field.
The lines of the Phoebe District

derstood from Mr.. Thomas. are

try. This work will be started.
he said, in the very near future.
or as soon as the matter is final
ly passed on by the board of d.
rectors. With the local exchange
thoroughly modernized, the next
move will be to connect with the
long distance lines. ''It will
take time to accomplish this, !"
said Mr.. Thomas, 'but a wear
from now at the most, direct
talking communication will be
had with Salt Lake or any other
point on the Rocky Mountain
system throughout the Rocky
Mountain states. While | do not
want to say positively that such
will be thescase, yetit is possible
that temporary long distance
communication will be obtained
for Pioche this year by using the
old Deseret Telegraph line by
way Of Modena and other south
ern Utah points"
Mr.. Thomas says the perma-
nent line may come in from the
north via Ely. An exchenge will
also be established at Caliente.

They Boost
for Pioche

John A. Kirby. president Of
the Pioche King Mining compa-
ny; w. H. Webber, president Of
the Phoebe Metals & Mining COM
pany, operating the Point mine,
and Frank B. Cook, manager Of
the latter, are in camp. Mr..
Kirby came from Salt Lake and
Messrs. Webber and Cook from
southern Arizona, where they
have been looking through some
of the big copper mines. With
them came C. w. Murdock, who
was a conspicuous figure in Gold
field during the boom days of
that camp. Murdoch is one of
the original boomers in the big
gold camp over in Nye county,
SO his travelling companions say,
and is in Phoebe to make a thor
ough inspection Of the mines and
mineral conditions of this region.
He likes the camp, and will prob
ably become interested.
| Among the other visitors Of
the week were w. L. Cook Of
Salt Lake. and D. D. Houtz, the
the well-known attorney and
mining man Of Provo, Utah.
Mr.. Houtz declared to RECORD
representative today that he was
not prepared for the surprises he
has met with since coming here.
Il had no idea that the country
was as extensive as it is, and
neither did / expect to find SO
much developed ore. .Pioche is
certainly the making Of a won
iderful camp,

been properly developed and
equipped. fully appreciate that

area of the mineral resources

weather acts half decent l intend

Mr.. Bell spent today at the
Mendha mine in the Highland
district and intends to see the
Bristol and Jack Rabbit district.

Others when they were in their
palmiest boom days, but none of
them equaled the early Phoebe
boom. Men got 500 a day guard
ing with rifles the different min
ing properties over which there
was or might be disputes. Men
were killed each night, and we
thought nothing of being told
that another man had just been
slaughtered for breakfast. One
night there were five men killed.
I remember visiting a saloon
in which considerable gambling
was going on. At one table the
four players did not use chips,
nothing but 500 gold pieces, and.
it seemed to me that there were
so many of them that the table
would break nown at any mo-
ment. This game was a $40
ante affair with no limit, and
some of the jackpots represented
a great stake in themselves.
Camps have come after Phoebe,
but none have been SO thorough
ly wild and reckless as Phoebe.
Now that the great resources
are being brought to light down
that way, the camp is going to
see another era of greatness, but
it will be a more earnest one,
one not quite SO picturesqe and
intense as the Phoebe of DID,"
Pioche is no such wild place
now as it has been pictured in
the foregoing. 1t is a much bet
ter town than it was then. There
is more developed ore in the
mines, and, with the exception
that the population of the camp
is not as great now as it was in
those stirring times, it Is better
in every other respect.

as the Greenwood corral, which

every respect. 1t was designed

tects, Of Salt Lake. who have
drawn the plans for practically
all the school buildings erected
in the Utah capital during the
past five years.
Emil Maeser, junior member
of the firm, was in the city this
week to confer with the mem
bers of the school board and de-
liver the drawings for the new
building, From him the RECORD
learned that careful attention
had been paid to the matter of
ventilation and other sanitary
features to safeguard the health
| Of both teachers and students.
A steam heating plant will be
installed, and it is expected that
the building will be ready for
occupancy at the beginning OF

MUCH BITTEN BY BEAR.
Story of an Alaskan Sea Captains
Venture Ashore.

A thrilling bear story is contained
in a report received at the navy de-
partment from Past Assistant Sur
geon c. C. Grieve. in charge of the
naval hospital at Sitka, Alaska.
The captain Of a fishing sloop was
brought to the hospital for treatment.
An examination showed that he had
been bitten no less than 81 times by
a female brown bear and had received
In addition many deep scratches.
The fishing captain landed one day
on the shore OF Rodman bay to hunt
for deer. On his return at night he
stumbled on the bear with her two
young cubs. Before he could use his
rife the bear was upon him. In the
struggle that ensued the man was
bitten in all parts of the body.
For three days he lay where he had
fallen, without food or drink except
a few berries he was able to gather
and the moisture he could get from
the leaves. He began his trip down

by mosquitoes, which at that time of
the year in Alaska are frightful. The
wounded and almost naked man was
compelled to burrow into the leaves
and moss.
His companions went in search of
him, but they did not find him until
he reached the beach. He was taken
at once to the Sitka hospital, where
he was found TO be delirious and

of an official communication, says:
"This case is interesting in that it
shows the remarkable nerve of the
man, his powers of endurance and
the resistance of his system to infec-
ton. 1t also serves to disproye the
time -honored fallacy originating in
the claim of old hunters that bears

Indians Victorious.

Tho Wallerstein baseball team
waded into deep water yesterday
afternoon when the Indians downed
them to 0, their first defeat on a
home diamond. For several innings
the Indians found competition, but
after the fifth inning the Wallerstein
lads booted the ball and scores were
easy for the Indians. Runyan pitched
for the Wallersteins while McChesney
was on the slab for the victors.
The game started of pretty, with
both teams fighting hard. In the
third inning the Indians forced over
a run, and there was not a change
in the score until after the fifth
round, when several of the Waller
stein lads took an airship trip. The
Indians played an errorless game,
and deserved the clean victory Both
pitchers were in good trim, while
