Comet District
Has Bright Future

Geometrical diagrams would illus
trate better than words the angles
cut out by DR.. w. w. Stockham in
MS Ford last Tuesday when he car
ried the Record reporter and others
10 the Comet district The camp lies
two ranges west of Phoebe. which is
twelve miles straight or thirty-five
miles by road.
A general review was given the
field and an inteesting inspection
made of the Hybla Mining Company
and Lyndon properties. The investi-
cation of these properties easily
demonstrated the promise of the
holdings. Assays of the average
ores coming from these mines prove
their worth.
The ore from this district is hauled
to the Comet siding on the Salt Lake
road, only fifteen miles distant. The
present system of development is
showing good results and all difficult
ties are steadily being overcome.
The cooperation of the owners of the
district has done much toward secur-
ing new advantages. Opportunities
for extending what seems to be a
permanent field will surely be had
by the continual showing of it's pres.

Observations
of a Stranger

When a stranger comes to Phoebe
he is impressed with several of the
prominent features of the place,
which stand out to welcome, amuse
and surprise him. These character
ize and portray the disposition of it's
citizenship, as we'll as describe the
town.
There is distinctly an atmosphere
OF the '70s, when discovery created
the excitement Of mans life. The
enthusiasm and hope of acquiring
the mineral wealth of the vicinity is
the most dominant exhibition. The
search continues in trend of con-
fidence and emblematizes a spirit of
trust. An air of freedom pervades
every activity and forms wholesome
and unbiased friendships 1t is a
reputable cast of men who institute
the business and policies of the CON-
munity. A majority of the iifla6it-
ants are migrants, having come from
the big cities of the east and west
with the expectation of gaining
health, wealth and experience. Sue
cess is the wish of everyone. The
| field affords beginning and is open
without infringements and inordinate
schemes. On arrival here person
is met with genuine hospitality, ex.
emplar of southern methods. The
town is not excluded either socially
or proficiently, yet it is different from
others, lingering more reminiscently
on the old days. 1t lies picturesque
ly on the slope of two mountains
