,.rned from New York last Sunday
evening with a further confirmation o
printed in several western

caskill has made the Statement

arranged as far as the financing
on,ernrise is concerned and that

begin in the very near future. Tit
,;,;., capacity of the plant will be al
n-,., 500 tons of ore per day-possibly
but it will be that much any
= An experienced smelling man

49, DAVIS and will come prepared TO g.
- in earnest. 1t will take him
,,,le time to organize his forces
l,av his plans and order the equip
u,oo, for the plant; but it is reasonable
- presume that within sixty or ninety
nys from now-at most, the actual
vi of construction will be under
way.
Tho Undertaking is being launched
syndicate with millions of CAPT
,.l behind it, and n that is amply
.ble to meet any and all competitors
:. tho smelling field. The smelling
.ompanv will be entirely independent
If the Nevada Utah company; while
the latter may own some stock in the
enterprise. it will have no further
vo;ee than that in the management.
The promoters believe this to be the
hest smelling field open anywhere IN
the United States at the present time
and the construction of considerably
less than two hundred miles of railroad
would make Phoebe n of the most
central smelling points in the state
Of Nevada. While the mines of Phoebe
and the surrounding districts alone are
amply prepared to supply a smelter OF
enormous tonnage, the Phoebe plant, In
all probability, will supply a market
for ores from nearly every other camp
in southern Nevada, as well as south
en Utah and California. 1t will be
a custom plant in every sense of the
word.
In expectation of having facilities
for the treatment of it's ores right
here on the ground, the Nevada Utah
company has cut ore shipments FROM
its Day mine at Jack Rabbit down to
about 30 tons a day; but Manager
Gaskill has begun carrying out the ln-
struetions of President Learnard to
bend every energy towards the vigor-
GUS development of the mines and to
the blocking out of ore.
The dawn of a new era for this
district has begun. The building of
the ~slnelter and the extension of the
Salt Lake Route to the Prince CONSOLE
dated side of the camp means a won
derful stride forward.
Chope Group Working
When the Judd Lund-Olson teams
passed through town towards the
Prince Consolidated side of the camp
last Wednesday forenoon a number of
Phoebe citizens learned for the first
time that another live company had
been organized to delve into the earth
for the riches strewn along the Prince
zone.
Several months ago, Murray G,
Godbe of Salt Lake secured an option
on the Chope group of claims situated
just to the southeast of the Prince
Consolidated mine. Mr.. Godbe it is
understood, has financed a company
which is to be known as the Centennial
Prince. He went about it quietly,
mentioning what he had to only a few
Of his most intimate friends. Anyway,
money was raised, a modern hosting
plant purchased and as soon as the
plant is installed, which will be in a
few days, an active development cam
palgn will be inaugurated under the
direction of William Lloyd, superin
tendent of the Prince Consolidated.
Mr.. Godbe will be here again in ]
lew days and expects to remain on
