Piocheites Much interested In The
Bright New Comet

That bright object which illuminat-
es the western skies, having the ap-
pearance of a huge star, but which
scientists declare to be a new comet
has been an attraction every night
during the past week.

body, message says: The luminous

1t will be noticed from the forego-
ing communication, received few
days ago from Senator w. A. Clark,
TO officers of the Phoebe Commercial
club that he is of the belief that
the Bristol Pass route-which has
been advocated as good way to
build the future main line Of the
San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake
r rad--would mean too much OF de-
tour to the north to make 1t feasible
for through business and indicat-
es his preference for the Modena-Pa-
naca- Bennett Pass route.
1t must be admitted that Bennett
Pass has its advantages, and except
tha. It would still leave the town Of
Phoebe off on branch line as 1t is
q. present, 1t makes no difference to
Phoebe people which way the road
soes. As far as the future of the dis
trict is concerned, 1t would cut no
figure at all. The Bennett Pass way
would bring the main line within a
few miles Of some Of the principal
mines of the camp-those on what
is commonly referred to as the Prince
Consolidated side; while spurs could
be run out to conveniently tap the
mines Of Highland. Jack Rabbit, Bris-
tol and Comet districts.
The Record has been furnished
some information about grades ETC.,
to Bennett Pass by an advocate al

MENDHA READY
TO BEGIN BIG
OUTPUT OF ORE

William Lloyd, who returned from a
three weeks trip to Salt Lake last
Monday, spent Tuesday and Wednes-
day at the Mendha mine in Highland.
"A wonderful improvement has been
made in the Mendha," he said, "since
! saw it several months ago This is
especially true of the S00-foot level,
where raise, considerably east of all
the ore discovered in the mine there
tofore, encountered AN independent ore
shoot. The raise was run about %
feet, showing seven feet of ore aver
aging $50 to the ton
"As the mine is now opened, it will
be no trouble at all for Manager Cook
to extract 1000 tons of ore per month
of the grade mentioned. This can be
done, too, at cost of not to exceed
30 cents a ton.
In other portions of the mine where
work is in progress, steady and
pleasing improvement is being made

ing an ore body in winze from the

NAIL SERVICE
FROM MODENA
IS ABOM|NABLE

A great deal of complaint has been
heard about the poor mail service be-
ing given the citizens of Phoebe at
the present time.
The Record has received advices
from Modena TO the effect that there
are piles of mail at the depot, and at
the Modena postoffice, which should
have been brought to Phoebe by Con.
tractor Montgomery.
Subscribers to Salt Lake daily pa.
pers have not received several of last
weeks issues. Those of last Satur-
day and Sunday are missing, and SO
are the issues of last Tuesday and
Wednesday, which should have arriv-
ed on Thursday nights mail.
1t has been charged that Contract
or Montgomery has left mail be-
hind in order to make room for pas
senger and express.
1t is no fault of the public's that
Mr. Montgomery loses money on his
mail contract. He put in bid of So
for the round trip of 80 miles, which
is not enough to pay the driver de-
cent wages.
The Record joins with a large ma
jority Of the citizens of Phoebe in the
belief that Mr.. Montgomery should
either perform the duties which the
postoffice department and the public
expects Of him, or else the contract
should be taken away from him and
given to some responsible party who
will see that the mail Is delivered
TO Phoebe promptly,
The present service is simply abom
nable and should be remedied.

Combination Between President
And Speaker Cannot Scare
Them, Declares Norris.
SAYS TAFT is AIDING CANNON
NO Other Construction Can he Put on
This Move of the Admin
iStration.

Washington Jan. s.-"The Insurgent
Republicans of the house are not intim-
ldated by the action of the administra-
ton in Withholding patronage from
them' and are not scared into silence
by any apparent combination of Presi-
dent Taft and Speaker Cannon"
This was the declaration today of
Representative Norris OF Nebraska, a
leading insurgent. Mr.. Norris resented
stories appearing in one or two Wash
lngton and New York newspapers to-
day to the effect that the insurgents
are lying down" under the edct or
the administration. on the contrary.
Mr, Norris returned to the attack and
criticized President Taft himself for the
act of the administration in singing
out insurgent members for punishment
President Taft is making a grave
mistake by aiding Cannon in this way,
and | want to say so unhesltntingly,"
continued Mr.. Norris II don't object
nor do any of the insurgents object
as fur as 1 know. to the Withholding of
patronage from us. But / denounce
this singing out of the men who have
opposed Cannon and the house organ
ization for the inniction of the punish
ment.
How can the president say we are
opposed to his policies and declare that
we are to be punished for 1t when VIC
have not opposed his policies in any
way? We do not. in fact, yet know
what President Taft's policies are to be.
We have not even received his message
on several important subjects. Still, We
have been punished.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
admitted that we are being discrimin-
ated against right now, although we
have done absolutely nothing to merit
1t except to oppose Cannon and the
house machine.
The president is aiding Cannon.
There is no other construction that can
be placed on this move of the admins
tration.
II want to say that this effort to de-
feat us by starting fights against us at
home Is open to vigorous criticism.
81 have no objection to Speaker Can
non or any OF his supporters coming to
Nebraska and making any kind of
fight on me they wish to make. but l
do deny that the Republican congress
sional committee has any right to at
tack me. 1t Is unjust and unfair.
"The fight of the insurgents in the
house will continue against Speaker
Cannon and the house rules. which he
has so personihed We Will not. how
ever. oppose any policy of the president
50 long as 1t is Republican doctrine"
