CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY
In THE PIOCHE REGION

The Consolidated Phoebe Mining COM
pany has work in full swing at No. 1
shaft, and the ''high" line railroad
has been kept busy during the week
hauling ore and lumber up the hill
from the Salt Lake Route depot, says
the Phoebe Record. The engine was
steamed up Monday, when the siren
shrieked, giving notice that the com
pany was ready to carry out the ex-
tensive campaign of exploration and
development mapped out by the di-
rectors Of the corporation some time
Ago.. Mr.. J. w. Carlton, who is in
direct charge of the operation Of the
property, has a force of 10 men on
the pay roll at the present time.
The mine having been idle for a
good many months, it was found nee
essary TO repair the shaft; but yes
terday morning, he had it in shape for
operation and began hosting the water
which had accumulated to a depth of
about "a feet. AS soon as it is baile1
out, the shaft will be continued on to
the 120O-foot level, from which point
connection will be made with the OLD
workings of the Raymond and Ely
mine.

week and will probably remain here
for some time.
The parts ordered for the repair Of
the compressor arrived "Wednesday
and are being installed by 8. F. Whit
ney. The plant will be ready for op-
Grafton in a few days.
The mining situation has improved
very materially since the r~e-establish-
ment Of railroad service. The first
train to arrive in Phoebe since the
morning of January l last, steamed
in the depot at 10 o'clock last Sat
urday forenoon and pulled out with the
lead engine and coaeh-which was ma
rooned in Phoebe at the time of the
memorable flood, also with four cars
of Mendha ore. Sunday, another train
care to town, bringing five cars of
freight; returning to Caliente with a
car of concentrates and coarse jig
product from the Frank and Lamont
Poorman lease.
The judd und- Olson teams are
hauling ore from the Mendha under a
contract to deliver to the depot for
shipment to the Salt Lake smelters at
least 20 tons per day. Manager Cook
of the Mendha is preparing to in
crease the working force ar the mine
right away and by this time next
week will probably have 30 men on tho
pay roll.

mining operations on a scale that will
attract general attention to the north
end of the Reese river district, states
the Austin Reveille. A majority of the
directors were in Austin this week look
ing over the new holdi=gs. Among
Them are a few of the most successful
business men Of the Ohio city. A meet
ing was held here and action taken
authorizing the driving of a $500 foot
tunnel on the Patriot vein. The tunnel
will pass through the True Blue, Annie,
Chase, Clipper and Morris and Caple
claims, across which the Patriot vein
has been proved by surface operations.
No time has been lost In getting
down to the serious business of carry
ing out this important and extensive
mining program. Men and teams
have already begun moving from the
Nevada Central depot to the tunnel site
on the True Blue claim, a 75-h. p.
gasoline engine and a 625-foot air COM
pressor.
Three shifts with machine drills will
be put on the work of driving this
tunnel as soon as the plant is assembled
and in working trim.

BRISK BLAZE ON 4TH
wnlamIna sawmiII Narrowly Escapes
Destruction by Fire.

Parker Brothers wound up the days
celebration on the Fourth by stepping
TO lively music. About o'clock in the
evening, as they were preparing to go
home, they observed cloud of smoke
rolling up In the direction Of the mill.
Hurrying home they found the entire
slab pile ablaze. The fire was already
raging fiercely and Herbert returned
to town as fast as possible to get
pump and hose and summon assist
ance.
In a short time they succeeded IN
getting a steady stream Of water turn
ed onto the end of the slab wood pile
which ran up near the mill. A bucket
brigade was established and deter
mined fight was made to keep the fre
on the east side OF the road. A favor
able wind is responsible for the fact
that the mill escaped. Although the
mill and lumber were saved. the loss
is considerable. as it is estimated that
more than 1000 cords OF wood was
lost, which was netting them 81 per
cord.

mated from a spark blown from the

GRAND JURY GETS BUSY
Rumors OF Graft by Road Supervisors
in Marion County.

Alleging that there had been evil
dence submitted to it during the re-
cent session charging road supervisors
with dishonesty in reporting ana
charging their accounts against the
county, but not sufficient for it to ind
any indictments, the Marion County
grand jury, upon its adjournment Sat
urday evening, made a report to Judge
Burnett recommending that the next
grand jury, together with the district
attorney, make further investigation
with relation to the matter.
The charges in the report are coueh-
ed in general language, and no intima-
tion is given in it against whom the
accusations Dire directed. The jury
merely says that it made investigations
of the matter, but that 1t was unable
to gain sufficient knowledge to prefer
any indictments, but believes that 1t
is worthy of further investigation, and
recommends that the next grand jury
and the district attorney probe the
matter to the bottom, and take action
with regard to It at the next session.
According to the report the evil
dence adduced before the jury tends
to show that the road supervisors un-
der investigation had submitted dis
honest reports to the county, and also
dishonesty charged accounts up
against it. Just how much is involved
or how sweeping the investigations
will be cannot be learned, as the ut
most secrecy is being maintained with
regard to the matter-Salem Journal.

Cyrus A. Reed, builder Of Reeds OPP

tise the Willamette valley in the East,
is dead in Portland TO the older resi-
dents of Salem the name Of Cyrus
Reed was very familiar. He construct
ed the building now occupied by

the state that it be used for state house
purposes, there being no state capitol
building here at that time. He con-
Quoted theatre there for many years
and it is stated lost heavily financially
For a long time he was associated
with Thomas G. Cox In the real estate
and loan firm of Reed & Cox. Like
Reed, Cox was one of the most prom
linent men in the Willamette valley,
and it is said at his funeral there was
the longest funeral procession ever
seen in Salem.
Reed was particularly gifted as an
artist and he painted panorama OF
the Willamette valley from Prospect
Hill which went all over the East and
was exhibited until 1t was worn out.
1t can safely be said he was the first
to actually advertise the Willamette
valley in the East. He was member
of the legislature at the same time as
