PIOCHE CAMP RETURNS
TO LIFE WITH SOLVING
OF ITS BIG PROBLEMS

The more recent history OF Pioche,
New. haa been one OF trials and tribu-

has at last reached tho turn. and one
who is charged with the task OF relat-

regrettable necessity Of making promises
and predictions. Ploche has worked out
its own salvation after tiring OF delegst-

Phoebe has the Codbe interests to

OF the district throughout 1912. These

this became altered when the 1nterna- =

Here is where the Prince officials. and
the Godbe brothers OF Salt Lake In par
ticular took the initiative and got the
500 900 together which was necessary
for the construction of a railroad line
from Phoebe TO the mine. This road was
completed during the year and ship

300 tons daily or better. The Prince Con-

been done so that it is impossible to
give an estimate OF tonnage.
