house of VogelsteIn which has
caused the tying up of many of the
great properties in the camp of
Phoebe by court cetaion, there is
still much activity being shown and
shortly after the first of the year
the activity will increase. 1t is
freely predicted that the Nevada
Utah Mines and SHELTERS corpora
ton difficulties will be definitely
settled within the next few days
and the effort to wreck this cor
pcration, ah has been attempted by
various arrangements, will fail, and
matters will be adjusted to the
satisfaction of all.
Only a few days are left in which
The present controlling interests of
the Nevada-Utah can pay the $125,-
600 note held by the Merchants
bank of Salt Lake. Then there are
a number of other obligations that
are to be paid as soon as t.
organization plan is set in action.
AS soon as this is done there will
be real boom in Phoebe, and this
famous old low-grade territory will
be sending hundreds of tons of ore
day to the local smelters.
At present crew is finishing up
the work on the spur line from the
Caliente branch of the Salt Lake
Route, which is being run to the
Bullionville tailings belonging to
the Prince Consolidated Mining
company. These tailings will be
shipped shortly before the first of
the year SO as to be ready to be
! fed into the International lead fur
naces, which start up on January
The contract calls for 200 tons OF
Chis ore a day. The tailings have
been treated once before and from
the 40 ,000tons, 100000 was ex.
tracted. There is still $12 tor
left in this dump.
1t is believed that as soon as the
present crew at work on the spul
finishes up, it will be taken t
Phoebe and work started on the eX
tension of the railroad around tn,
mountain to the Prince mine. TIL
ores of this mine are under con
tract and shipping must start b.
April 80. There is no doubt bu
what the road will be built befor
that time, although the railroa
company has made no definite an
nouncement. The visit of Presiden
Robert S. Lovett of the Souther
Pacific is believed to have settle
this matter.
The Day-Bristol mine at Jackrat
bit is shipping 200 tons of ore o
more a day, which is bringing in
profit. The Home Run mine whic
was recently purchased by hurry {
Godbe, Harry F. Earls, Scott WOOD
ward and VIII Pitts, is pushin
work and already has out som
shipping ore. Within the next 6
days it is is expected that this proI
erty will be shipping.
Plans will be announced shortl
for the financing of the Mendhs
Nevada mine. This property ha
100000 worth Of ore alread
blocked. out This is what is actua
= ly in sight, while the porphyry dix,
4 which is believed to have been tn
mineralizer of the district is sever;
hundred feet from the develope
portion of the property There
but little doubt but what the il
tervening area is we'll mineralize
and would probably make a create
mine than the present enc.
Leasers will be thick in the cam
within the next six months an
many men are now looking for OF
portunity to lease in the camp.
The Demijohn property is gettin
h better ore on the 300-foot leve
The property is being steadi
worked and persons who have e,
amined the ground are certain tn;
a big mine will be developed 4
Y the new railroad will pass over IL
property it is given great advan
ages.
The Golden Prince shaft of Il
Phoebe Coalition is still working
ore.
Work has been started on Il
Prince Extension property al
