Next Year Will Be One Of Activity For This District
Cobb Advises Purchase
Of Pi0Chc Stocks Now

R. K Cobb & Co., brokers, of Salt
Lake issued Phoebe market letter
last week. this camp being refer
req to in the introduction like this:
"In direct response to the stimulat-
ing news regarding the entrance Of
new and important interests into the
old camp of Phoebe, the issues Of that
district, which together with those Of
other camps have suffered during the
temporary depression of the last
summer, have taken on new activity
and while the volume of the trading
las not been particlarly large. the
increase in the demand has been
very noticeable, and several large
blocks of stock have been taken by
h-se who, for long time, have re-
allied the possibility OF the camp
under conditions which would justify
the extraction of enormous bodies Of
ore blocked out and ready to be sent
to the smelters and mills.

NEVADA CONSOLIDATED

IL is the same old story of grind
and production at the steam shovel
pit of the Nevada Consolidated. The
big pit at Copper flat is getting big
ger each day, and each day 6,06v
tons of copper ore are shipped to the
concentrator at McGill; and this pro-.
duction will be going on for years to
come, and the great reserve of the
Nevada Consolidated's ore will not
be nearly exhausted
Two shovels of the six in the pit
are working constantly in the ore,
while the other four are engaged in
stripping, making more ore for the
two shovels to handle. Two of these

CALL OF THE LAND Is
BEING HEARD IN EAST

The call Of the land is being heard
east. and great many of the crowd
ed farming communities are losing
young men. expert farmers, who are
westward bound to acquire some Of
the cheap and rich farming lands
that are so plentiful out this way.
During the past few months there
have been a number of Iowa farmers
looking over the Mason and Smith
Valleys of the Yerrington country and

and work has been started on a
hospital to take care of the sick and
injured when the Mason district
reaches its logical era of usefulness.
All the mines now being operated
are looking fine, and an air of activi-
ty Is noticeable among claim owners
who have not been inclined to de-
gelop their territory until the rail
read and smelter arrived. The Me-
vada- Douglas Copper company, states
Mr.. kidder, recently added to its
mine forces materially In order to
have everything in readiness for pro-
tection when the smelter is ready
for the ore.
Mr. Kidder illustrates the possi-
bilities of the Mason camp by telling
of recent shipment of gold ore
from a property at Mason Pass, To-
Gated about seven miles below Mason
City. This shipment was worth $44

THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF MiLLETT AND DELMUE

Charles Millett, who was in town
on Thanksgiving day, told a story
OF a thrilling experience of himself
and Joe Delmue last week while en-
gagged in rounding-up bunch OF cat
tie. Millett was astride one of the
best horses the ranch affords when
he suddenly confronted a mountain
lioness and three cubs. Millett be-
ing apt in the art of swinging
rope, landed it around Madam Lions
neck and trotted off down the can
yon, dragging the captive for fully
100 yards by which time Delmue ar
rived upon the scene and, tossing
his lasso caught the infuriated an
imal by one of the hind legs. The
lioness put up a fierce fight to ex-
tricate herself from this somewhat
embarrassing position, but the horse
men stopped the struggle by empty
ing their 'six-shooters' and killing
the beast. Two of the cubs were cap.
tured and brought home to the ranch
where they are now securely Gagged.

PiocHE WATER TO BE
ON BUSINESS PLAN

Inasmuch as the Phoebe Water COM
pany is owned by the Ohio Kentucky
and Nevada Utah companies. the re-
cent change brought about through
the change of control In the later
and the general merging Of interests
of the two companies, will also re-
suit In some radical changes In the
conduct Of the offairs Of the water
company. In other words, the water
company is to be placed upon q
strict business basis and 1t will be
the aim to give its patrons as good
and better service than they have
received in the past. This will
mean the expenditure Of considerable
money on the part Of the company to
effect the needed improvements IN
Of new mains and other modern wat
er devices.
On the other hand, the water com.
pany win expect pay for the service
rendered. The free list will be en-
tirely suspended and those who do
not pay their water bills after q res
sonable time has elapsed will find
the water shut off This doubt
less, will come hard on some who
have never made any pretense at
paying their water rent or anything
else that they could avoid.
Fred r. Woolley has been audit
ing the books Of the water company
this week and is outlining plan
OF operation whicr will re followed
In the future. Mr.. Woolley says nc

In which they are interested.
In an interview, Mr.. Woolley stat
ed that he was highly pleased with
what he saw at Phoebe and added:
"In the next year q remarkable
change, In the condition Of things
will be seen in the Phoebe district.
The district Is rightfully entitled to
occupy high rank as a producing
camp. and we propose that the prop
critics which have recently come un'
der our control shall be developed
~ aggressively as possible, and plac,
ed on a heavy producing basis at q

gross productions were over twenty
five millions Of dollars, and this,
haul of over two hundred and fifty
miles to the nearest railroad With
the decline in silver the mines could
no longer be operated to CONNER
cial advantage, but in later years,
with the coming of the railroad and
with the later and more improved
methods of reduction. 1t was believ-
ed that even with the reduced price
of the precious metal the proper
ties would again equal their former
record. And not only the old and
proven mines, but numerous other
promising prospects which had re-
manned untouched during the earlier
period.
Men OF standing and intgrity
in the mining world, with splendid
financial backing, again entered the
district and thousands of dollars were
spent In necessary machinery and in
the opening up Of the properties.
With those accomplishments only be-
gun 1t was found that the smelling
charges, under the monopoly then
existing were practically prohibitive,
and 1t was found necessary to change
the plans by the different companies,
to the extent of cutting down their
forces. awaiting such time as the! cres
could be profitably mined.
THAT that time is but few weeks
distant is indicated by the frequency
with which the news of the coming
of some of the biggest interests in
the country is told. and that this is
not based on rumor alone is proven
b. the renewed activities in the prop

IN which those who are in position
