SALT LAKE CITY, April ga
railroad into Phoebe by May 18TH
That sounds good, doesn't 1t? Well,
that is what the railroad people are
talking now and there is every rea-
son to believe that they are going to
make good on 1t. Saturday night,
last. the high bridge at Islen, IA
miles above Caliente, was In shape
so that trains could cross 1t, and
right here was the place where the
memorable flood of January1 played
its worst havoc. From Islen down
about 10 miles, there Is q lot of
track laying to be done, but an en-
gineer with whom talked last Sat
nrday night and who had just come
from the front. assured me that Cal
iente would be reached within ten
days. That would bring 1t about
May 3. Three construction trains are
working above Caliente now. Two

thus 1t will be seen the company is

all the zeal at its command.

belief that the repairing of the few

Modena is lively town right now
on account of the sheep shearing sea

is said 100000 sheep will be shorn
of their fleece at this point this
year. The sheep growers pay cents

the shears, hence it will be seen
that the amount of money paid out
for this purpose alone-amounts to

P|OCHE METALS
WILL INSTALL
COMPRESSOR PLANT

At meeting of the directors of
the Phoebe Metals Mining company at
salt Lake last Monday afternoon, an
assessment of q cent share was lev
led. The delinquent date has been
fixed for May 81. and sale date. June
30th.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to take immediate steps toward the
installation of an air compressor and
machine drill.
The fact that compressor is to be
installed will be good news to share
holders. While Sup't. Lemon has
been making good headway with de-
velopment, he has labored under diff
ficulties which will be entirely remov-
ed by having power facilities at his
command.

UNITED STATES
COMPANY WANTS
NEVADA ORES

That the United States Smelling
company purposes to invade the Ne
vada fields has been foregone con-
clusion since the American smelling
interests became so heavily involved
in operation at Ely. Last winter
two of the United States engineers
made careful inspection of Ely and
camps as far north as Cherry Greek.
This company has already become in
terested in Eureka and Contact. and
since it purchased the smelter at
Needles, it has been concentrating
its efforts towards getting more busi-
ness from the southern mines of the
sagebrush state for the Needles pant
rhe shippers from that section are
afforded better rates for transporta-
ton than is obtainable by the longer
haul to the valley plant here. and a
good share of the California trade Is
also being corralled at Needles,
The Tonopah and Tidewater rail
road is cooperating with the smelt-
ing company in Obtaining this trade.
The NEEDLES plant has been enlarged
in capacity to meet all requirements
tnaL will De needed for another year.
and the agents for the plant are in
the field bidding for ores of every
character. The railroad company has
issued new schedule OF rates appli-
able to the territory now being COW
cred by the agents of the smelling
company
Leasers in Goldfield and Tonopah

ing over this splendid opportunity to
have their ores hauled and treated at
price which insures greater prof
1t for them. These operators have
been deprived Of market for any
thing but high grade ores. and their
operations have been curtailed In con-
sequence. Under the transportation
rate the railroad will offer an op-
portunity to market ores that carry
values as low as SIS to the ton, which
should be the means of stimulating
the mining industry among the south
ern Nevada camps as a number of
the mine owners have declared that
they had an abundance of low grade
ores.
The Needles plant will install a
concentrating plant with capacity
Of 250 tons OF ore daily. This will
treat the low grade product, and the
smelling capacity will be raised to
| 200 tons daily, making it as large as
| either the Murray or Bingham June.
1 tion plants in the valley This plant
will be complete In every detail and
the hauling charges will effect saw
Ing of about so per cent over the pres
| ent rate from that section to the val
lev plants. On the high grade ores
the reduction is not SO great, but 1t
Is sufficient to make a material diff
ference to producers. For example
the rate on ores ranging from $15
to $50 per ton is placed at $2.45 per
| ton against the present rate of $3.50
TO the Needles and SIS to $3.50 to the
smelter at Salt Lake. On $50 ore
the rate is reduced from IS to Sc,
on 800 ore the cost of freight is
brought down from $3.50 to s6.40, or
a saving Of 20 per cent. But the
greatest gains are on the lower frade
ores that are crying for market,
and the action of the Tonopah and
Tidewater management is deserving
OF the highest commendation.

MOTHER DAY.

It's a long long time and a weary way
From the hills Of youth aud the Yesterday,
From the bending trees and the games We PLAYED.
And the bubbliug stream where we used 10 wade.
And the old rope swing. and the blue above.
And the fathers laugh. and the mothers love.
It's long. long way. and the dust lies deep
On the winding read. and we're nearing sleep;
But ever and ever We look back there
Who're the woods are green and the skies are fair.
And the Old rope swing and the glad days are.
And we grieve and wish il were not 50 far
We wish indeed II were not so far
To the cllrving stream and the sandy bar.
And the stones where the cTayfsh lurked and hid,
And the shallow stretch where the water slid
Like a lace-edged curtain. and cattails stood
u were not 80 far 10 the wind wood.
But It is. IL is far 10 the yesterday
Aud the tracks in the dust all point one way!
From youth they come down the winding track.
And never a footprint wanders back
To the blossomcd ways where the songs we're sung
That We can't forget. and the world was young.
To the mother love and the father squeeze
Ard the purple nights and the waiting knees
Where we perChed and harked to the twicetold
tales.
And our eyes grew round-oh. the ieweled sails
OF fancy only can wait US back
Down the stream Of tins to the youth we lack.
So we're wearing snow-white rose to-day
To the mother lore Of the yesterday.
And the father lOving-aboye our heart.
And eyes are dim with the tears that start
Unhidden-and years in the future-thus
Shall our children wear a white rose for US.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Mecklenburg Declaration-May 20.

At the time OF this declaration Char
lotte was the center Of the culture Of that
part Of the province. The meeting was
called together at the instance Of Thomas
Polk the commander Of the militia Of
the county, and two gentlemen from each
company were selected as represent
alive committee.
The authorized account Of this docu-
ment is that il was adopted at . o'clock
i'm the morning of MAY %. and that the
papers Of John N. Alexander. the secre-
tary Of the convention. were accidentally
burned i'm April, 1900 Alexander John
ston. in his American Political History"
says:
The declaration is historically suspl-
cious from its use of phrases used in the
Declaration of July 4, 1875, and from the
facts that Williamson and the Contem-
porary writer's of this and neighborlug
States show no knowledge Of it, and that
II was entirely ignored I'm and out of Con-
gress at a time when resolutions coming
far short OF independence were heralded
by every newspaper in the country New
ertheless, Bancroft accepts IL without
hesitation; but the probability is that
resolutions of the kind, which were com
mon at that time were passed: that the
copies Of ISIS which were produced and
printed in Raleigh, N. c.. were from rec
election with strong traces of the Dec
laratiOn OF July T. 1776 and the MeclSIen-
burg declaration was not Of its purport-
ed date or essentially Of its purported
nature"
