JUST A WORD
Regarding Yesterdays Issue Of the
Press.

VS.
The Press has an apology to offer
Its readers for yesterdays issue. for
Its almost altogether lack Of news,
IS the working force Is being chang
ed, and among the new workmen
came linotype man who claimed
that he was an operator of ability
and could handle the machine, and
upon his guarantee to do the work
we changed operators, but after a
short time working 1t was readily
seen that he was less than an ANA
teur even. and could not do the
work in even E limited degree, but
as there was none other available
in the city we allowed him to re-
main during the day, hoping that he
might make change for the bet
ter. but alas! he grew worse and
worse, and when press time came he
had but little copy set and that Ia
the worst possible form that could
be imagined. and had got the ma
chine so that even the corrections
could not be made.
We ask our readers to imagine
our feelings and position. and also
ask that the day and it's paper be
overlooked. and we now have ar ex-
perienced man on duty and hence
forth the Press WIN grow better and
better each day and what is more
we will promise the paper to leave
the Office each evening sharply al
4:3O o'clock and will reach the read
ers before the dinner hour. Diff
tulties will come occasionally, and
they certainly hit the Press ONCE yes
terday, but It will not happen again.
we promise you.

BUILD liN GOING UP AT
THE CAMP OF ATLANTA.

r. Nugent Cosby, superintendent Of
the operations at Atlanta, came in
from that flourishing camp last even
ms. He reports matters thereabouts
as advancing with leaps and bounds.
The development work being pro-
secuted by the company is being push
ed with all the speed obtainable in
the use of men and machinery About
thirty men are being employed in
sinking and prosecuting in the two
main working shafts. One of these
has reached depth of over one hun
dred feet and the other seventy
feet. CrOss-cuts are being run from
both and the entire developed por-
tions of shafts and drifts are in
good ore.
The determination of permanent
mines have attracted business peo-
pie from the outside, with the result
that they are beginning to build i'm
proyements Of a substantial character
The first frame building of the camp
was completed last week by Utah pa.
ties. Two more are in course of con
struction and plans have been drawn
for one which will have an eighty
foot frontage. The building will be
erected on the North Addition town.
site.
A party of mining men from Ely
visited the camp this week, travel
ing cross country by means of an au
tomobile. They were greatly impress
ed with the merits of the district and
| it is highly probable that they will
take over and work the old Bradshaw
mine. They also bonded severa
claims in the Silver Park district.
Taken altogether the future of ths
camp looks very favorable for city
of considerable size.

DEATH RATE HEAVY
IN pIOGIKiEE LAST WEEK

Phoebe was visited by the "Grim
Reaper with vengence during last
week,no less than five of our fell
low townsmen being called to the
Great Beyond.
Harry Lowden, known by many in
this county was stricken very sud-
denly last week with a severe at
tack of an infection of the throat.
The attack soon developed alarming
stages and the unfortunate man was
hurriedly taken to the Duckworth hos
pital, but was beyond the aid of
medical skill and died within a few
hours. He leaves large circle Of
friends who will be deeply panied
to learn OF his untimely death. The
remains were inferred Sunday in the
public cemetery.
John Anderson, one of the old time
residents, who had been ailing for
some time passed quietly away Sat
urday last, at the Stockham hospital
John Anderson could be accounted
among the sturdy pioneers of Phoebe,
having lived in Highland district for
many years, where he was industri-
GUS in developing, in so far as it
laid in his power, the mining indus
try of this section. In the death of
John, the community mourns the loss
Of a good citizen. He left no rela-
tives in this section so far as can
be ascertained
Richard G. Collins died Saturday
last. Collins had been associated
with D. G. Mahedy in the manage
ment of the affairs of the Nevada
DesMoines company, and during his
residence here, by his uniformly
courteous manner had added many
to his circle of friends. His home
was in Burlington, Ia, where he has
mother, brother and other near rel
atives to whom the Record joins with
the community in extending it's most
sincere sympathy. The remains, were
shipped to Burlington for burial.

GOOD GOLD ROCK
THE COMET DISTRICT.

c. H. Smith and Bruce L. Garri-
son have been exhibiting some fine
gold specimens this week These
samples were taken from a new dis
covery made by these gentlemen near
the Comet district. While the assays
are not phenominally high, it is the
strength and size of the ledge that
lends Importance to this discovery.
Situate about fifteen miles from Pi-
oche in section heretofore unpros-
pected, it is easy. to indulge the pre-
sumption that the new discovery
will lend an impetus to the mining
industry hereabouts
Messrs. Smith and Garrison have
given but little publicity to the new
find for reasons best known to them.

ed such territory as they desire they
intend placing the merits of the SCI
Mining men who have viewed the

BETTER FACILITIES FOR
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN

The possibilities Of higher educa-
ton for the young people Of Lincoln
county, at what might be termed our
very door, cannot be considered too
seriouly by parents. That the insti-
tuition was wanted by the PEOPLE was
demonstrated beyond question at the
last election, and now that the de-
tails have been perfected for the
launching of the school, 1t should be
the aim Of every parent with child
rem eligible to enter to see to it that
they do SO.
The county commissioners have
made provisions for the running ex-
penses and adquate quarters have
been secured. A more appropriate
plscu could not have been selected
than the little town of Panaca. 1t
cfntairs the envoirments ideal for
such school and the people of Pa
naca are determined that no act shall
happen to ma: this. That this spirit

moralizing tendency.

rado, with present headquarters at
Salt Lake, after making an extended
and thorough investigation of this dis
trict during the past week when seen
by representative of the Record as
he was leaving Thursday morning.
Mr. Lee expressed the oft repeat
ed hope that the owners of the mines
on the hill would soon see their way
clear to adjust present difficulties
thus paving the way for greater ac-
tivity in this town. AS to the spec
ific object of his visit here at this
time, MIR. LIE would not state other
than that it was in the interests of
eastern capitalists whom he is rep
resenting, and said that he would
again visit us within short time.
Mr.. Lee recognized the Importance
Of smelling facilities close at hand.
He considered that the flat below
town would make an ideal location
and transportation by tramways from
the town to this situation would
prove to be very economical.
He is also much impressed with
the concentrating propositions which
abound. While he does not regard
Phoebe as primarily a poor mans

Labor Day, September 9Th, is to

ing made for special train service SO
that those who wish to do SO may re-
main until after the dance and re-
turn home before morning. Among
the attractions of the day will be a
base bail game between the Nevada
Utah team and nine made up from
among the employees of the railroad
shops at Caliente There will also
be a rock drilling contest for a
purse big enough to make the. event
interesting.
L. H. Harton, one Of the Nevada
Utah machinists, and one of Pioche's
leading base ball enthusiasts, visited
Caliente recently and received as
surance from the shop boys that
they would run an excursion to Pa
naca to meet the Phoebe crowd and
would do everything to make this
years celebration the best ever held
in this part of the country.
1t is expected that several hun

SHOULD ORGANIZE A
PROGRESSIVE CLUB

What is the matter with the organ
ization Of the rioche Progressive
Club? This has been talked of
for some time, but nc results have
thuss far occurred. There are a few
progressive men working assidous-
Iy in behalf of this enterprise but
are not getting the proper support.
Have a care gentlemen, for one of
these days you will awaken to the
fact that while you have been sIum-
bering some Of the best business prop
ositions in the country have slipped
through your grasp.
This statement is called forth by
an article appearing in the Ely EX-
positor wherein it is claimed that Ely
should get the trade of the new camp
Atlanta Now anyone familiar with
conditions well know that Phoebe
is the natural supply point for this
promising district, and indications are
that this trade will be Of mean impor-
tance.
However, the mere fact of natural
advantages is not going to hold this
trade unless some concerted and in
telligent effort is made along this
line and the only proper way is by
organized effort Would not club
such as has been advocated be the
proper way. Ely has such a club
and what that club intends to do is
best told in the following article ta-
ken from the Expositor.
