TELEPHONE NINE IS
LEASED BY MTSOFF

The Telephone mine of the Anal
gamated Phoebe Mines & Smeltera
Corporation, was leased last week to
Tony Mitsoff and work has already
been commenced On this interesting
property situated adjacent to the
famous Stindt e Donohue bonanza
ore body on the Harvey property.
Considerable work has been done
on the Telephone mine and sub
ataniial production OF ore has been
made. in the past. Several promis-
ing areas exist for further explora-
tory work, and although the width
of the ore now exposed is small. the
lcsibilities of the discovery Of a
large body is especially good on the
F0-frot level, where Tony Mirs,ff
and his partner are drifting on the
contact to catch the downward px-
tension of the main ore shoot which
carried pay ore from the surface
down to the faulted one about the

SHAFT IS TO Be
W|DENED

Arrangements have recently been
completed between the Amalgamat-
ed Phoebe Mines & Smelter Corpora
tion and the Combined Metals, Inc,
by which the latter company will i'm
mediateley commence the overhaul
ing of the existing power plant at
the No. / shaft. This overhauling is
preparatory to the widening of the
shaft from the 4zO-foot level to the
surface. 1t is proposed to put in
three boilers with a capacity Of ESQ
horsepower, and all the machinery
will be thoroughly overhauled.
Raising will shortly be commenc-
ed from the 420-foot level and
ground be broken to permit of the
addition of a third compartment OF
the shaft from this level to the sur
face. The station will also be en-.
larged.
Owing to the large tonnage of ore
that is intended to be shipped daily
from the Combined Metals ore body
the existing equipment must bt
brought to a great state of efficiency
and this work will permit of great
er economy in handling the tonnage
With the completion of these i'm
portant improvements 1t is hopet
that further work will be done to
toward the reopening and develop
ment of the famous black ledge be
low the water level. At some futur
time this work will surely be under
taken, and the results confidentl
expected by conservative minin
men, will again make the Pioch
Mountain the center of western min
ing activity.

BRISTOL MINE IS
PRINCIPAL SHIPPER

The Bristol mine owned by the
Bristol Silver Mines company still
continues to be the principal shipper
of the Phoebe district. The high sill
yer content W these ores makes
their continued extraction profitable
despite the fact of the low price de-
rived from the copper and lead con-
tent.
The bulk of the ore now being
shipped is derived from the 500 level
Slopes, while the remainder is min
ed in the territory adjacent to the
Work is now being commenced on
the deepening of the main working
shaft. This will provide greater
economy of ore extraction. Under
present methods, the ore from the
900-foot level is handled three times
! before being placed in the bins, and
the elimination Of this extra handl
ing will mean a substantial lowering
Of mining costs.

information. The number of assays
involved in the sampling of the fifty
five properties was 1900 and kept

Santa Monica laboratory busy for
some time.
John L. Whipple, the original To-
Gator of the Silverhorn mines, an
swered the Champions advertise
ment In the Phoebe Record and ev-
entually Theodore Champion reach
ed this point on his trip of examina-
tions. 1t was here that the value
of thorough sampling and careful as
saying was so well illustrated. In
his preliminary examination the
Silverhorn mines looked unattrac-
tive to Mr.. Champion, due to the
fact that values now known to exist
in the outcrops are not visible to the
naked eye. Nevertheless, a system
attic sampling was conducted and the
| assayers at Santa Monica kept busy.
When the assay returns were re-
ceived and it was shown that the
Silversorn mines were far and away
the best of the fifty-five that were ex-
amined, Frank Champion wired Mr.
| Whipple to come to Santa Monica
and close the deal. This was done
and Mr.. Champion soon left for New
York and Boston with the object OF
raising funds for comprehensive de.

Manager Champion. He states that

being driven beneath this orebody
for the purpose of determining the

S|LVERHORN'S SOCIAL
CLUB OPENS WITH
GRAND BALL

The grand ball which was held
last Saturday night and which serv-
ed for the formal opening and dedi-
cation Of the new Page hall at Silver
horn, and also as the anniversary
celebration of Theodore Champions
arrival in the camp, was an affair
that will long be remembered by
residents here and by the numerous
visitors who came from Phoebe, Sun
nyside, Lund and Panaca to enjoy
the festivities. Indeed, both in the
appointments and the grace and
charm Of the ladies present, the at
fair would have done credit to any
community. Thirty-six ladies were
dancing at one time, and that is go
ing some for mining camp not yet
four months old.
Page Hall, which is the club and
social center for Silverhorn, was
erected through the generosity of
Arthur Page and other New Workers
who are interested in Silverhorn
mines. It's compltion coincident With
the first anniversary Of the date on
which Theodore Champion came
here to examine the mines, hence
both were jointly celebrated. The
hall has excellent dancing floor, and
the green branches Of juniper that
were draped on the side walls and
ceiling gave pleasing and artistic
effect. The big punch bowl in the
corner was eamouflaged with green
ery-and If there was any stick
in the punch that was successfully
camouflaged also.
There was no lack of good music
Early in the evening it was furnish
ed by the Panaca orchestra, and
when they got tired they were spell
ed by the Lund and Whipple or.
chestra-and the latter put so much
pep into the dancers they were lotf
to go home at three in the. morning

Since the publication of the list began, the

won distinction, who wear medals, who are still IN
the hospitals, who served, but fortunately came
out unseathed. For those reasons and others The
Herald has not, and viii not publish any OF these

come. his name is there, but the truth of his is
not there and may not be in any subsequent issue.

years, should have this publication to meet in any

THE EDITOR.
, Cause of High Milk Prices.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The milk dealers are about the
only Washington business men who
have yet had to bow to the nation
wide dehStion process. The public
seems to have overlooked the fact
that the decline in the price of
milk since last fall has resulted
solely from cuts made by the pro-
ducers, from IL cents per quart In
November to cents per quart the
first day of May. The dealer still
maintains his spread of Z cents per
quart for distributing the milk, re-
ceiving now as much for handling
the milk from his receiving station
to the consumer as the dairyman
gets for his entire Investment and
labor in producing the milk and
delivering II over long distances
from the country. paying cents
per gallon where he has to ship T.
by rail.
The records show that in the fall
of 1915, after a number Of small
earlier advances, the producers
forced the first big jump in milk
prices, going from 5 cents to 6
cents per quart. The dealers, who
had been handling the distribution
on a spread Of to 2i7 cents. ad-
vanced their price to the consumer
to . cents, giving them then a mar
gin Of 8 cents. There was a flood
of protest from the public. and the
newspapers of November, 1915, were
filled with accounts of protests by
the various civic associations and
threats of prosecution of the prof.
teers" by the District health off,
Ger. Nothing came Of them except
further advances in prices by the
producers and increases in their
spread by the dealers until prices
reached their climax last fall.
II the dealers could be induced
to follow the example of the pro-
ducers, accept their part in the gen.
eral business dehation, and return
even to their 1916 margin of 3 cents
for distribution, milk would be sold
here today to the consumer at 10
cents instead Of II cents per quart.
The babies would be grateful
through the coming hot summer
months.
