Roadside Shaft
Down 100 Feet

The Roadside mine was visited We'd
nesday by Peter Buol and William A.
Smith. The mine is now equipped with
an eight horsepower gasoline hoist
and two shifts are sinking the shaft
on contract to the depth of $50 feet.
At this depth drifting will be started.
Sinking has progressed to the depth of
100 feet and sulphides are coming in,
as this is about twenty feet below
water level.
substantial camp of four framed
tents accommodates the miners and
5000 feet of lumber was recently pur-
chased from Mr.. Gardner, to be used
in enlarging the camp.
Above the Roadside is a property
with even better surface showings than
on the Roadside mine itself and this
has also been taken over by Peter Buol
and his associates, which means it will
be developed.
North of the Roadside is another
favorable mining district. with the ad-
vantage of being fifteen miles nearer 6
railroad and with the additional ad
vantages of timber and water. Prop
critics in this section are also con
trolled by Peter Buol and his associ
ates. They intend sinking 200 feet OF

Insurance Representative Visits Phoebe
F. w McFadden is in Phoebe in the


interest of the Nevada industrial in
surance commission and has been
busily attending to his duties during
the last few days. Mr., McFadden was
in Phoebe in 1882 and 1892 and again in
1890 and 1900, so he is well known To-
cally. In the discharge of his duties
with the Nevada industrial commission
he has been businesslike and loyal to
the people of the state and the counties
for whom he works and the people of
Phoebe may feel sure that their money
is expended only for purposes which
will be approved by their auditor. Mr..
McFadden has manv interesting re-
membranes Of the town in other times
and he mentioned a furnace which was
built in the early days at cost OF
perhaps $1O0,OOO--and used but for a
| few minutes. He was here when the
| Black ledge was struck on the six
| teenth level of the Raymond and Ely
and the ore was found too base to be
handled at that time, although rich ir

William r.. smith, electrician at the
Prince mine and old-time Nevada pros
pector and mining operator, made a
trip to Pahranagat valley Saturday
evening for the purpose of investigat-
ing the Irish mountain district. 1t is
possible that Mr. Smith will send a
man into the district to prospect it
thoroughly. Mr.. Smith visited Della
mar on the same trip. He will make
an effort to start work in that section
and he has already taken the matter
up with Salt Lake people. 1t does not
take Mr.. Smith all day to travel over
Lincoln county with his gasoline burro
and to see this old-time prospector
race to water hole, cook supper, put
out the fire and start racing through
the night again is lesson in present.
day efficiency. To anyone travelling
with Billy this advice is given: If he
is journeying too close to heaven ant
you wish him to slow down to the
snailpace of about thirty miles ask hin
about the geology of some Nevada dis
trict. You take his interest from tn,
field ahead and he slows down.

Strike of Silver
at Groom Mine

c. E. VanNess reports that at the
Groom mine a magnificent body of
high grade silver-lead ore has recently
been found and is now being devel-
oped. This property, with a production
of a quarter of a million dollars from
surface ores, is one of the interesting
undeveloped mines of the west and the
news of a strike in that section has
much more than the usual significance
The property is under the able man
agement of Patrick Sheahan. who is
also one of the principal owners.

although the visiting crowd was not
as large as the immense throng at

There were interesting talks at the
