CLOUDBURSTS CAUSE
WASHOUT ON RAILROAD

Cloudbursts last Saturday after
noon caused serious washouts on the
Caliente & Phoebe railroad, the result
of which Phoebe has been cut OFF
week. The fiat below town. from a
point just to the north of Four Mile
and down the valley was covered
with several feet of water and wash
ed the road bed out along the rail-
road for a distance of about 100
feet. The water came pouring down
the gulches from both sides of the
valley for several hours and the old
est inhabitant declares that never in
the history of this country has there
ever been such volume of water on
the fiat at one time before. But the
worst havoc was played to the rail-
road in Condor canyon where several
bridges are washed away, and in a
few places nothing was left except
the ties and bent rails to show that
there ever had been a railroad in the
canyon. In the vicinity of Bullion
vile, the water spread out over the
valley, but not until the track had
been covered here and there with
sodden debris.
The railroad company set at work
Immediately, however. to make re-
pairs so as to restore traffic at the
earliest possible moment. Mean
while the Prince Consolidated COM
pany was obliged to stop operations
Sunday morning and the mine re-
mained out of commission until We'd
nesday.
The Amalgamated Phoebe mine
was not affected by the flood, as the
company had plenty Of fuel on hand
to keep things going. The mill has
been grinding away steadily and pill
ing up concentrate for shipment as
soon as normal traffic conditions
again prevail.

PIOCHE ASSAY OFFICE
NOW IN NEW HANDS

A business change was announced
yesterday when E. C. d. Marriage
took over the management of the
Phoebe Assay Office, which had been
conducted for several years past by
z. H. Snyder. The business was es-
tablished some years ago by Mr.. Mar
riage who conducted the place
successfully for q period of five
years. when he disposed of the prop
|erty to Mr.. Snyder that he might
give his attention to other interests.
Now he is taking back the same bus
mess and 1t is needless to say that
he will make success of it. Mr..
Marriage understands assaying and
everything which pertains to that
line OF work and with the assistance
of Mr.. Carl Austerman. who has had
many years experience as an assayer
and chemist, the Phoebe Assay Office
will be prepared to meet all local de-
mands.

GOODsPRINGs STORM
WORSE THAN REPORTED

The magnitude of the storm of last
Thursday can only be appreciated by
those who actually saw the great
mass Of fioodwaters as it tore its de-
vastating path through the south
draw Of Spring Mountain range. The
storm itself proved to be freak. 1t
travelled in the form of a horseshoe
from north of Potosi mountain thence
south until 1t struck Goodsprings,
then turning north again, crossed the
railroad tracks above Arden, working
much havoc among the ranches to the
south of Las Vegas and continued
on the Eldorado canyon. Its path
was not more than a mile in width.
1t was surprising fact that it avoid
ed all the high attitudes. 1t passed
close to both Potosi and Charleston
mountains, but only slight sprinkle

PROSPECTING IN
GROOME DISTRICT

Just at this moment no part of
southern Nevada has the opportuni-
ties for prospecting as the section
lying adjacent to Groome in Lincoln
county. In the early days there was
considerable work done in and about
Irish mountain; Tenn Piute and other
camps were started and produced a
large tonnage of rich silver ore which
the "Crime of '73" put out of busi-
ness.
The wrecks of thes old camps are
yet visable and 1t would seem now
with silver at IS and with auto
truck for transportation facilities
and the new methods of milling, of
which nothing was known by those
old pioneers, there should be some

WAR TO LEAVE SILVER
WITH GREATER VALUES

In letter to friend In Gilpin
county. Colorado, U. s. Senator
Charles 8. Thomas discusses the ~
ture Of silver. He ventured the pre-
diction. at the time of the breaking
out Of the European war, that one
of its ultimate and necessary results
would be the re-estab ablishment Of sil-
yer as money metal upon some
general and fixed ratio with gold.
II did this because believed and
still believe, first, that the effect Of
the war upon exchange In gold using
nations would be magnifled BY cor.
responding but more desirable fluctu-
alton between gold and silver than II
ever had. Second. because gold
would disappear from the earxeats,
Of trade in AL the wafring countries
and silver would very naturally fall
into the vacuum thus created, being
preferable to and perhaps an equally
good basis for paper currency. Third
and lastly. because the enormous cost
Of the war represented BY dsbt OF
striking proportions would necessi-
tate resort to silver - the only
means of broadening the metallic
basis for money and credit. II am
correct In this forecast. the intrigues
Of the money interests can only re-
tard their operation; the movement
cannot be avoided.
II do not think the moneyed m
terests have had anything to do with
the recent rise In silver or its more
recent fall to 62h cents. This 10
one of the spasmodic fluctuations In
the value of the commodity, which
are caused by sudden and temporary
demand. think these are liable to
occur from time to time, resulting
in permanent rise Of the level Of
market quotations. 1t Is too early to
predict close of the war. and until
that arrives, little IL anything will
be done for silver.
when the war ends the total
debt Of the belligerent and neu-
tral European nations (who have
been Obliged to be at all times on q
military basis at great expense). will
be far in excess of $1O0,0OO,00O ,00O.
The annual interest upon this sum
at five per cent represents $1,000
000, 200, which added to the cost Of
government operations, will mean an
annual tax upon their producing
masses of not less than $7,500.0O0
900. This IL much more than the to-
tai productive wealth of the coun-
tries concerned, and means repudia-
} tion, unless silver comes to the res
J cue of gold. Even then. the nations
! will have to stagger along under IN
awful load for many years, II they
: are ever to get out from under It.
: Between reputation and payment In
, silver, the holders Of these national
J seucrities will prefer the latter.
. therefore conclude that the Interests
: heretofore responsible for silver,
: denomination will be tfound among
: tie champions of that metal througt
the stimulus of self interest"
