CASHBOY Mine
Will Be WORKED
RENO PEOPLE WHO OWN CON.
TROLLING INTEREST TO
BEGIN WORK.

The Reno Gazette of Tuesday
says: A number of Reno people,
who own the controlling interest
in the stock of the Cash Boy Min.
ing company. the property of which
is situated in Tonopah mining dis
trict, are arranging to resume work
in the mine.
The Cash Boy is located 200
feet west of the Tonopah Mining
company of Nevada's ground, the
intervening space being occupied by
the Golden Anchor company.
Recent developments in the big
silver camp have evidenced that
the main ledge trends through the
Cash Boy ground. Not long ago
the Red Plume shaft of the big
company broke into ore at $50
feet. The ledge at the point cut
is eight feet wide and averages
| $40 to the ton.
Encouraged by this strike, the
Tonopah company has started Z
triple compartment shaft on tbs
Sand Grass, the claim nearest the
Cash Boy.
| The latter company is absolutely
| free of Indebtedness and has s
fine equipment. The shaft is 500
feet deep. The company has 200.
900 shares Of stock in the treas
ury and as soon as the mark 9
improves, a sufficient amount O
this stock will be sold to enable re
sumption of work.

caused general alarm, the Hum
boldt river last night rose two feet
above all former marks. The low
er part of this town is submerged,
the great bridge spanning the river
is threatened and the levees are
now thought to be menaced.
No great property damage has
as yet been done, the principal loser
being the Western Pacific. The
roadbed of that railroad is badly
damaged, and in one place sud
denly sank into the water with a
train of loaded cars.
Although the river is falling
slightly this afternoon there is
still great fear that the levees and
the bridge will go out. Watchers
have been posted at various point.
and all possible effort is beins
made in preparation for still high
er water.
Ranches between this place ant
Battle Mountain have suffered mucl
damage and many head of cattle
and horses are reported to have
been drowned.

STORY OF name OF
PIOCHE EXPLAINED
FOR FIRST time

Who named Phoebe and after
whom was it named? This ques-
ton has often been answered "A
an off hand way by the statement
that to an Indian chief belonged
this honor. In 1868 the camp be-
came first known on account of a
lead and silver mine which was
later purchased by "Old Man Ray
mond' and John Ely and became
known as the "Raymond-Ely. IN
the fall of the year the little min
ing camp had grown to such pro-
portions that the dignity of name
proved desirable. Dr.. and Mrs.
Williamson were in the camp on
their way to Salt Lake, having
lately removed from the old county
seat at Hike. Mrs. Williamson, in
her maidenhood Miss Sara Eliza
Carmichael, had been the author
of several poems of merit, and was
voted to be most talented in the
art of sliterature, and she was Sc
lected to name the lead mine
camp. On her way to Salt Lake
she stopped at Panaca and it was
while visiting at the the home OF
B. R. Hulse that she wrote the
letter to parties at the mining
camp in which she told them that
she thought it would be very APP
propriate to call the camp after the
| first white man who had settled
/ there. This was l.. K. Phoebe. The
name proved satisfactory and was
adopted and since the spring o.
1869 the camp has been known
bv that name.--Prospector

usually receives all the credit for

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

When my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread 1t
started in small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until it very nearly covered the back
part of his leg to the knee.
Finally got Cutfcura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that
evening, before I put my boy to bed,
l used them again and the improve
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. l used two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy. was
cured. My son is now in his sew

a return of the eczema.
