Road Bonds
Sold to keeIer

AT an adjourned meeting of the
board Of county commissioners held
last Monday, the bids were opened
for the sale of the 100000 worth of
road and bridge bonds, which were
authorized by the voters Of Lincoln
county at the November election.
Altogether three bids were received
but as two of the bidders did not
conform to regulations by attaching
a certified check, they could not be
considered, so an order was entered
authorizing the sale of the bonds to
Keller Brothers of Denver at a prem
ium Of S666.66.
The commissioners felt that the
bids were too low, but under the cir
cumstances, they were confronted
with the proposition of accepting the
bid OF the Denver firm, or postponing
any action in road construction mat
ters until after the next general ell
ection, or after calling a special ell
ection. 1t appears that the bonds
must be sold within ninety DAYS after
having been authorized by the voter

Highland District Is
Creating New Interest

Everything seems to indicate that
there will be some lively mining ac-
tivity In the Highland district this
year. Recent developments in the
property of the Highland Queen are
regarded as being highly significant.
A chunk OF ore brought into town a
few days ago by Ben Geske leaves
little doubt but what another pro-
ducer is soon to be added to the sew
eral mines now sending ore to mar
ket from the Highland country The
ore was found practically at the grass
roots and carries high values in lead
and silver.
That the management of the Ham,
burg Mines company regards the new
find significant is evidenced from the
Following, which is taken from the
Salt Lake Tribune:
A telegram received by the firm
OF Evans-Morris-Whitney company
yesterday from Murray C. Godbe.
general manager of Hamburg say
ing:
"Ore has been found in Hamburg
issure ahd bed on surface on east
side OF mountain over 1000 feet
from face Of Hamburg tunnel, giving
us every reason to expect ore in
Hamburg workings all way through
mountain"
This Is regarded as important
news, demonstrating that Hamburg
should have at least many times the
enormous ore body already developed
and should prove to be one of the
great producing mines of the Pioche-
Nevada district.

LIVELY INTEREST IN
MINES OVER AT FAY

BILLY" Dwyer, who has been in
town this week for jury duty in the
district court, recently came from
Fay, where he reports there is quite
a little mining activity at the pres
ent time. The camp, he says, is
showing more life right now than it
has for many moons.
Down at Gold Springs, Charley
Short Is back on the Job after hav-
ing been away for number of years
and is endeavoring to place that pro-
perty in the producing class again.
Short and associates have recently

an alleged Interference in the do
mestic affairs Of the Dawson family.
Mahoney had been employed as an
engineer on the Salt Lake Route and
had family residing in Salt Lake.

Groom On Eve of a Big''RuSh
Tom NcC0rnlaC Says
Can't Be Stopped Now

the Groom Extension property, John
Wheatly has opened up very fine
showing of the same character of
ore as the big" mine, hence it
would seem that the Extension es-
tate lying in between, with ore on
both ends should also encounter 1t
with a little development.
The Poncin Sheenan Osborne :
Wheatly property known as the
Groom, or big" mine, is increasing
its working force right along and
under the efficient management of
Tom McCormac, is doing exceeding
ly we'll and rumor is that they will
have a force of 100 men working
within 60 days and have now some
IS. The transportation problem has
been solved through the use of trucks
and caterpillars to Indian springs a
distance of SO miles. These ma
chimes use a double set of drivers
and run night and day and never
stop. So far it has been about a
standoff as to the efficiency between
the two methods of transportation
as while the caterpillars with 6 trail
ers and caboose and machine shop
combined, takes a carload of 35 tons
into Indian springs in 35 hours; the
auto trucks take and tons, and
makes round trip in "a hours. All
the ore being shipped by the Groom
mine proper is being extracted from
above the 100-foot level but they
are now cleaning out the main shaft
below the 100-level and will short
ly have another big back to draw
from; and when spring opens it is
confidently expected that this COM
pany will be able to market several
hundred tons per day of IS per cent
lead with about 60 ozs. silver per ton.
Certainly we are pleased to well
come Groom into the real camp class
and there is most promising pros
pecting country in and about the
camp as we'll as for 40 miles to TEN
Piute and Irish Mountain, and in
fact in most any direction, and we
look for this district to certainly be
on the map this roming spring and
summer

A letter received this week from
Tom McCormac, states
Groom is in the throes of a
boom. l am trying to discourage
this because we have no place to put
another man. We are sleeping five
in tent and the cookhouse Is simp-
g. ly overwhelmed. But real boom
cannot be held off very long appar-
emily. Every man here is a mine
owner. Claims are staked for miles.
Ore is being struck at different
places and everyone seems overcome
with the heat Goodness Agnes it
looks like the real thing"
Word has also reached Phoebe
that development is going ahead in
good shape on the Groom South Ex-
tension of which Tom Osborne is the
directing spirit and very good results
have already been found on this
ground which adjoins the Big
Groom property on the South.
Ralph Shaw, manager for the
Groom Extension Mining company,
which owns the claims adjoining the
big" Groom shipper on the north,
has returned from his Christmas va
cation and with Dave Hofer and two
other men are making good progress
sinking the shaft started early in
December with very encouraging
prospects already encountered. AS
considerable of this stock is held
locally in Phoebe this news will be
gratifying to some of the local in
vestors.
w. C.. Browne and B. l.. Smith
secretary and president of the Groom
Extension, respectively, expected to
leave within few days for the camp
but word reaches them that it will
be better to postpone going in for
10 days or two weeks yet owing to
the bad conditions of the roads to
Indian springs and also the lack of
sleeping quarters; though instruc-
tions have been sent to Mr.. Shaw to
build couple of tent houses as
soon as possible on the property for
the accommodation of themselves as
we'll as visiting officials

"A great mineralized flssure has al !

all in Hamburg ground. Rich bed
ded veins crossed by richer miner
alized assures continue almost unin-
terruptedly. close above the tunnel
level. Other equally rich ore bodies
dip below the tunnel level and are
found between the tunnel and the
surface.
Hamburg has already produced
$4,000 and has known ore re-
serve of about 10000 tons, and is.
according to Mr. Godbe, enabled to
ship from 500 to 10000 tons of rich
ore per month The tunnel makes
possible the mine development at a
minimum cost. The mine is but
four miles from the railroad and the
total cost of shipment of ore from
the mine to the smelter is but $4.25
per ton. Hamburg is now making
money and has been for some time
The vein is increasing in width and
the ore in value. With the discovery
that the assure exploited on the west
side of the mountain continues to the
east side and that the special fissure
mentioned in the telegram from Mr..
Godbe will probably be some 400 feet
lower than the proposed eastern por-
tai of the tunnel, it is demonstrated
that the ore in the Hamburg goes to
far greater depth than the present
workings.

SAM GODBE HERE TO
EXAMINE THE McFADDEN

Sam Godbe, former we'll known
Phoebe operator and who is now a
resident of Los Angeles, was in the
city early in the week for the pur-
pose of conducting an examination
of the McFadden claim and other
properties belonging to the Provi-
dence Mines & Commercial company.
Mr.. Godbe has an option on the
the properties of the above named
corporation, consisting in all of 27
patented claims, II of which are To-
Gated in Lincoln county, in Min
eral county and 6 at Bowse, Arizona
all for consideration of $4,000.
The initial payment on the option
of $4,000 is due in February; the
second payment of $4,000 in June,
and the remainder of $1,000, in
December of this year.
Mr.. Godbe is familiar with exist
ing cond 'tions at the old Boston &
Phoebe property, which Is one of the
Providence Mines group, and 1t is
known that he has great faith in it's
future possibilities. Some of the
richest ore ever found in this dis
trict has been taken from the Boston
4 Phoebe, the values running high in
silver and lead.

the required length of time would
bring the matter To a conclusion
after the date limit. Hence, in
view OF the overwhelming majority
expressed in favor of the good roads
movement by the voters of the coun-
ty in November last the commission
ers deemed it their duty to accept
the bid and plan to get the work
under way at the earliest date pos
sible
Meanwhile plans will be outlined
for the campaign of road building
and at the next meeting of the high
way commissioners, action will prob
ably be taken for the employment of
thoroughly competent road build
er who will be known as county
road supervisor.
1t is likely that attention will be
paid first to the Improvement of a
main highway through the county
and an effort put forth to secure the
cooperation of the commissioners of
White Pine and Clark counties in
