Tailings Plant Is
Making a Record

The experimental tailings treatment
plant recently installed at Bullionville
for the purpose of making experiments
on the dumps there has proven a sue
cess. A recent run included nineteen
tons Of ore over two tables in a twen-
ty-four hour period
Operations at the experimental plant
are under the supervision of G.. f.
Bateman. who in turn Is acting for
certain San Francisco capitalists who
have obtained a lease on the tailings
owned by the Prince Consolidated Min
ing Company at the old Bullionville
and Dry Valley plants. The expert
mental plant is equipped with one
Vanner and one Overstrom table.
From the nineteen tons of failing.
run over the tables 1900 pounds of
concentrates were obtained. this prod
uct assaying 35 ounces in silver, as
peIncent lead and about IS in gold.
The experiment will be carried fur
ther in order to determine the exact
equipment which will be required to
run 100 tons of ore in a twenty -four
hour period.
The results of this experiment VIII
AFFECT the entire mining industry of Pi.
oche. If it proves as eminently sue
cessful as at present indicated the
dump Of every mine in the district
may be made sufficiently valuable fol
further working.

Loading Platform

The loading platform at the Salt
Lake depot, which has been under con-
strrction for the last ten days, has

Base Ball Team
Must Have Aid

The pressing need of financial sup
port for the proposed baseball organ
ization to represent Phoebe during the
coming season has been emphasized
again by Frank Dolan. captain. and M.
L. Lee, manager. both of whom were
elected at a meeting held recently by
the enthusiasts of the game here.
Caliente has raised the sum Of $3.50
in cash to be used to maintain their
aggregation this season and they are
equally determined to have a winning
team In the face Of this 1t would seem
necessary that Phoebe baseball fans
get busy and formulate some plan for
the raising of sufficient funds to cover
the necessary expenses of the organ
ization of formidable baseball club
here.
Plenty Of baseball material is at hand
in Phoebe for a first-class team-per-
haps more baseball material is here
now than for the last few years But,
as everyone should know, willingness
and capability on the part of the play
ers does not make a successful team.
This year, for instance, new uniforms
are required IL Phoebe has ball team.
and in addition to that grandstand at
the park is sorely needed.
Plans will be formulated within the
next few days by leaders of the game
in the city for the raising Of funds,
and 1t Is desired that all respond to
the call when it comes. A baseball
team IL almost a necessity in q town
of this size. and without such an or
ganization Phoebe would undoubtedly
be made the laughing stock o. sur
rounding towns wfo have already
made preparations for the support of
their organizations.
II anything along this line is accom-
plished this season the work must start
at once. Further q lay will be fatal to
baseball in Phoebe this season

Work at Mill
Is Going Forward

Although handicapped somewhat
during the last week by the failure of
some of the cement foundations to
meet requirements. work at the mill
being placed in readiness for business
by the Southern Nevada Milling and
Leasing Company. under the direct
guidance of John ]. Janney. is going
forward at a reasonable rate of speed.
Concrete foundations had been
placed for supports for various ma
chinery, but the concrete has failed to
hold as it should and some Of the work
VIII be replaced as a result.
The mill Is located just north of the
Salt Lake depot and has been leased
by the Phoebe Mines Company. 1t will
be used by the company for the han
ding of ores from it's properties In

BONDISSUEELECTION

special election has been calloA te
take place In each voting pI ecinct In
Lincoln county for the purpose Of vot-
ing upon a proposed bond Issue of the
county for $4,000. the money to be
used for the erection OF an additional
high school building in Panaca. II b.
Ing purposed that the present building
be converted into a dormitory for ont

take advantage OF the school facflities

There In no sound reason why anv
person should oppose this bond issue.
The present building at Panaca In In
adequate to care for the present stu
dent body. which comprises about nifty
members. especially when Il II rsmem-
bered that an attendance of over
eighty students at the high school II
enrolled for the term beginning next
fall In addition to this fact. outside
students coming In to attend school
are unable to obtain living accommo-
dations suitable to student life At rsa-
sonable rates. and for this reason alone
the proposed bond Issue should BE-
looked upon with favor by every voter
In the county.
1t Is pointed out by those In . POSI-
tton to know that tax assessment OF
2 mills for period Of i've years from
date will pay on the entire bond issue
of $4,000. and the additional fact II
claimed that Of all taxss paid In Lin
coin county the Salt Lake railroad
pays exactly 10 per cent, leaving .

by citizens of the county who reap the
benefits accruing from . 100 per cent

To oppose educational facilities n
old-fashioned and with but few sxcsp-
tions displays Ignorance upon the part
Of those who oppose It. No community
can expect to arrive at its best with
out adequate educational facilities. sx-

any community In the country.
Look where you will and II will be
found that the community that fosters
educational benefits for the oncomins
generations Is the community that has
in turn prospered and grown ~ . d.
rect result. Lack Of education cannot
mean anything but Ignorance. and ig-
norance Will not and does not create
the sort of life or living conditions re-
quired by modern man.
In the light of these facts every
person in Lincoln county entitled to
vote at this election should make It =
point to go to the polls on May and
cast vote in favor Of the bond issue
ESery person registered at the last
election held In the county is entitled
to cast a ballot at this election.
The present assessed valuation OF
Lincoln county is 100000. an In
crease of about half million dollars
over year ago. and to the innocent
bystander even 1t becomes apparent
that county of such wealth should
take the necessary steps to obtain ade
quate school buildings for the proper
and diligent education Of the younger
generations of the county.

Train Service
Not Discontinued

Despite rumors to the effect that
train service on the Phoebe branch
would be temporarily discontinued. ef-
fective last Saturday, due to the strike
of the switchmen. the mail to be car
ried between Caliente and this point
by automobile, the train has put In its
appearance every day this week, with
no further indications oe being dis
continued.
The change In the plans Of the COM
pany was brought about by the fact
that numbers Of the striking switch
men in various sections Of the coun-
try have returned to work. making It
possible to move some freight. and the
announcement was made In Phoebe
that certain quantities Of ore would
be accepted for shipment. with the re-
suit that several carloads have left
the loading platform and the mine
bins here for the smelters during tho
week.
No especial hardship was worked on
the mining interests Of this section by
the embargo that existed for q short
time. and now that ore shipments will
be accepted by the railroad company It
will mean merely that more ore, will
be hauled for the next few days until
the amount of the shipments drop
back to normal
Results on the call for bids for car
rying the mail by automobile between
Phoebe and Caliente will not be made
public unless the train service Is dis
continued. as was thought last week
would be necessary. The train IL now
bringing the mail every day. and as
far as can be learned now there will
he no further change unless something
unforeseen occurs to make changes in

No Difficulty
Getting the Cars

officers of the Prince Consolidated
are authority for the statement that
there has been no difficulty experienced
by that company In the shipment of
their ore during the last week. II IL
said that cars have been available for
the shipment OF ore throughout the
period of difficulty OF the railroads
owing to the switchmen's strike.
The work now being carried on at
the Prince is being watched with a
great deal of interest by persons in
terested In mining, because IL they are
successful in locating ore in the deep
channels to which they are putting
their shaft it will mean that the same
results may be accomplished at other
mines in the district
