STETSON AND CILLETT Billy
HORN SILVER PROPERTY

r IL Cameron. Melville Gillett and
q Henry Stetson have purchased the
uorn Silver mine from William A.
smith. who held the property under
Lease and bond from the old English
orsanization called the Horn Silver
Mining Company which held 1t during
he last twelve years.
Roadside Smith retains a substantial
interest in the mine and thus becomes
more extensively Interested in the min
ing industry in this section. This sale
means that the Horn Silver mine will
be opened up energeticaily. and the ore
will be converted into the useful
metals.

portunity to dig where the showing

tunities of merit have been taken up
by these operators and tested.
Roadside Smith has busted the sage
along many roads with his camp on
Ford, he must have two with which to
seek other properties which can be
bought with proht.
The Horn Silver Is believed to have
merit. Many samples taken from the
property have shown high and even
sensational values. A carload of ore
contained silver values in excess of
$50 per ton with silver at its present
level. 1t is known that the property
is an undeveloped prospect and it is
hoped that the new owners will soon
prove its value.
Plans for the future operation of
the property have, of course, not yet
been formulated, as it was purchased
Tuesday. 1t is probable that the or
ganization needed to work it will be
perfected in due time and the property
developed along sound mining plans.
One mining operator made a bulls
eye with the remark, Good property,

Before starting Mr.. Gillett, who is a
conservative business man, attended
to his life insurance and cautioned his

found on the tax list and the number

in for some caustic comment ant

An eleven-inning baseball game was
won last Sunday at Caliente by Mil
ford. who defeated the home nine with
the score to 6. Seven automobiles
containing baseball enthusiasts from
Phoebe made the trip and rooted for
Caliente, but to no avail. 1t was a
good game. the score at the ninth in
ming being to ;, when Milford tied
them and won in the eleventh.
Wind and dust made good playing
difficult and many errors were made.
Bowling, Charley Culverwell, A. A.
Carman, r. r. Orr and Ed Donohue
took the Phoebe contingent to Caliente
in their machines.
The activity in other towns has
spurred the Phoebe nine to hard work
and during the evenings the local nine
is practicing to good advantage. Las
Vegas must have a good baseball team
because they defeated Milford 8 to s in
