STOCKMEN MADE
HAPPY BY RECENT
SNCW STORM

The stock raisers of Lincoln coun-
ty having visions of plenty of grass
for next season on account of the
recent heavy rain and snow fall
which all came within the past two
weeks.
1t is a boon to the cattle that are
on the range as the moisture has
covered a large area that will afford
better feeding ground on account of
the unusual amount of snow which
is now covering much of the higher
range on unfrozen ground making it
available at this time. The unusual
pleasant and dry autumn season.
which was so very agreeable to us
from climatic standpoint, was very
bad for the cattle on the range on
account OF the lack OF moisture to
start the Fall feed as is usual and
as consequence very large per
cent OF the range stock came into the
winter in very poor condition, which
will be to great extent overcome
Oy the early spring now that the
moisture is secured.

LEASING WILL
INCREASE WITH
REDUCED RATES

With definite assurances of future
lower freight rates on the higher
grades of ores a pleasing number Of
inquiries have been made locally for
lca2es and 81 oulj the decrease!
rates be made public within the near
future an increase in tonnage would
an assured fact.
Efforts are now being made to in
duce producing property owners to
reduce the royalties charged where
a considerable footage of develop
ment work is entailed and should
such efforts be successful, Phoebe
would shortly have an increased
number of producing leases. Since
the matter Of reduced freight rates
on the higher grades Of ore has been
under deliberation with the posi-
bility of substantial reductions an in
crease in operating properties has
been evident. In September last but
six yeases were working, now jujst
double that number are in active Cd.
GRAFTON.
The lure of mining high grade ore
still exists, but the present day leas
er has been forced to realize, through
actual sad experience, that minine
and shipping high grade ore at tht
established freight rates is workint
for the railroad and the expected
grub-stake is dream. Low grad,
ore bodies are opened up by tn,
leaser mining the narrow high grad
streaks but when all incentive t,
mining the rich ore ceases, stagna
tion of the industry is the inevitably
result.

1922 PROSPECTS

With the close of the year 1921
mining men are unanimous in their
expressed belief that the year 1922
will see good times for the mining
industry and Phoebe should material
ly benefit from the general interest
that is even now clearly and mani
testify evident.
Idle property benefits no one and
every effort should be 7lade by prop
eity owners to work their mines or
by reasonable cooperation permit
capital to prove their worth. In ev-
cry instance in the Phoebe mineral
belt, where real mining has been
undertaken the results have justified
the expenditure of capital and de-
velopment at depth is needed at a
number of promising mines and pros
poets, cooperation with capital will
make money both for the owners of
these mines and prospects and those
furnishing the means for develop
ment. Give capital scope for future
profits in the Phoebe district and the
year 1922 will be the best the fam
GUS old district has enjoyed for many
years.
The Pioche record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1908-1925, 1921-12-30

The report periodically circulated
that all Of the older mines of the dis
trict have long since been worked
out is too often accepted as correct.
but simple facts show that this is not
the case and that many Of the older
properties are even now STAGING a
wonderful comeback. As an in
stance, the Bristol Mine, five times
reported worked out. is now the
principal shipper from the camp. The
ore reserves in this and many other
mines of the district are accounted
in millions of tons. The Virginia
Lounse in territory now developed
has more than a million and a quar-
ter tons, the Prince, though having
shipped more than three-fourths of
million tons has a larger reserve
tonnage indicated and the value
many times greater than that of the
tonnage shipped. The Greenwood
and the Susan Duster have half
million tons between them and with
the return of favorable marketing
C nditions. these mines and many
others will be enabled to ship a con-
stantly increasing tonnage from the
camp.
Ores of milling grade, a type that
until recent years has been consider
ed nuisance to the producers is
available in large quantities. Many
of the larger mine dumps and the
back Filings in old slopes could be
profitably milled, and still greater
tonnages could be mined from one
end of the district to the other.
Another, and perhaps the greatest,
potential reserve of the camp lies in
the large area of vergin ground with
in the limits of the district. This in
cludes greater portion of the Yuba
Dixie, the Bristol Range, the High
land, Comet and Stampede Gap Sec
tions of the district, all of which
show encouraging possibilities wher-
ever prospected inteliigently.

SILVER PEER PLANS
RESUMPTION OF
WORK SOON

Manager l.. F. Peer of the Silver
Peer Mining company is expecting
instructions from the east to resume
development work at the Company's
mine at Silverhorn, active develop
ment ceased this summer when dis
sensions among the owners of the
Nevada Silver Horn mine caused a
general shut down of that and ad-
joining mines. Recent advices from
the eastern management convey the
news that the former troubles are
now largely surmounted and that
work will be started on at least
three properties in the near future.
In evidence Of this a substantial
block of Silver Peer stock has recent
ly changed hands, sales being made
for II 1-2 cents per share. The
stock is listed on the New York Curb
Exchange and enjoyed active trad
ing during the early summer.
The principal development work
at the Silver Peer mine consists Of
extensive drifting and cross cutting
from the main vertical shaft sunk on
the contact between the Peer Quartz
ledge and the porphyry dixie which
passes through the claims and crops
as prominently on the Peer property
as it does on the Nevada Silver Horn
mine. The shaft passed through the
ledge at 104 feet and crosscut to
the north passed through the quartz
showing width at this depth Of 65
feet and values assaying 10 ounces in
silver with small gold and lead
content, most favorable concen-
trating product. Assays as high as
loo ounces in silver being obtained
over narrower widths. The last work
done by the Company was the run
nlng of two drifts in the quartz dixie
from the 80 foot level of the main
shaft and an ore body of satisfac-
tory dimensions was indicated by the
completed work. This drifting will
doubtless be continued and the size
and value of the large ore body de-
hnltely proven. Local stockholders
are confident that further develop
ment work on the Silver Peer mine
VIII be attended with future success.

RATE Of INTEREST
IS DECREASED ON
LIVESTOCK LOANS

Nevada's financial stability, al
ready roundly demonstrated, will be
further enhanced within the next
few days by the organization of a
livestock loan association, the mem
bers of which will enjoy participa
t1on in government disbursement of
moneys to a liberal degree. Hon.
j. Sheehan, state senator from this
county, vice-president of the First
National Bank in this city, and Ne
Vada's sole member of the war
hnance corporation committee, is in
receipt OF advices from Vernon Met
calf, secretary of the Nevada Live
STOCK Association, in which he as
severates that the necessary pre-
llminary steps are being taken to
perfect the projected loan associa-
ton to serve Nevadas livestock in
terests
Ihe association is to have a paid
up capital stock of 100000 and the
limit of borrowing power on this
capitalization will be $1,600,OOO. 1t
is asserted that this sum will serve
admirably in carrying the stockmen
OF the state over to a more propi-
tous time and that better marketing
conditions are already in sight.
The matters of designating the
center from which the activities of
the loan association will be carried
on electing officers to direct the
aHairs, and fixing definitely the CAPT
tai stock, are still to be settled
Ahese things must be completed in
dependent of the war finance cor
poratlon and solely upon Initiative
from within the state, the aim of
those behind the movement being to
serve In fair manner the stock
mems money needs in all parts Of
the state.
There is wrong impression
abroad in different parts of Nevada
relating to the manner of appor-
tloning loans. These apportion-
ments are made upon the order in
which applications are received and
are not doled out to different COM
munities.

aid the stock inductrv ara for !, -,

THE pIOCHE DISTRICT
AND ITS ORE RESERVES

The great mines OF the Phoebe
District lie within an area about
twenty-five miles long by three to
FIVE miles wide, extending along ths
Phoebe range, the general trend of
which is east and west in contrast
to the north and south trend of the
main ranges that make up the noun
tains of Nevada. The Fairview, Pat
terson, Lake Valley, Atlanta and
other we'll known producing districts
are not included in the Phoebe dis
trict, but all are Immediately ad-
jacent, Phoebe being the head
quarters of each. The great Yuba
Dixie, mass of porphyry thrust up
ward through several thousand feet
of everything forr ions. runs
through the center lh nearly all
of the mines found 5se by. How
ever, the Yuba Die comes to the
surface in few places. and being
broken and faulted at many points,
it is still question as to whether
there is only one great dixie through
out the district or several similar
dikes with the same general trend.
In any case, so close is the associa-
tion of the dixie and the ore deposit
that nowhere is the theory that the
igneous intrusive is the parent of the
deposit more strikingly illustrated
than in the mines of Phoebe.
The ore deposits consist in the
main of great beds and assures, the
beds often of record size and the fis-
sures extending from the surface to
an unknown depth below The type
of ore in both varies in character
from the simplest to the most com
plex, the former commanding a high
premium at the ,smelters while the
latter do not yield to treatment by
any modern smelling practice, but in
the light of recently developed. pro-
cesses, the complex ore has come tc
constitute a valuable asset to the
camp.

must be scrutinized annually by the
governments agents.
Lately ruling went into effect
by the direction Of the war finance
corporation that the rate of interest
to the stockmen should be lowered
from eight per cent per annum to
seven and one-half per cent. To en-
compass this end the banks and loan
associations have been granted a
reduction in the rate they pay the
government from six per cent to five
and one-half per cent, two per cent
loaning agencies to cover their over
head costs figuring in transactions.
Those who have secured loans at the
eight per cent rate will be entitled
to receive rebate of one-half of
one per cent to conform to the new
ruling.-The Silver State.

COMBINED METALS
RECEIVES CAR Of
LUMBER

A car of lumber was received
this week by the Combined Metals
for the widening work re-
Gently undertaken in the Amalga-
mated No. l shaft and this impor-
tant work will now be pushed to
early completion. The addition Of
an extra hosting compartment in
this shaft will be a permanent i'm
provement of great value as the No
shaft, now 1400 feet deep, is the
only heading now available connect
ing with the lowest workings on the
Raymond & Ely and Meadow Valley
assures. Up to date this shaft work
has been done from the 500 foot
level, working up toward the sur
face but it has now been decided by
the management to work from the
$50 level downwards owing to the
greater ease in working efficiently
The utilization of the No / shaft
with attendant hosting facilities
will make available an increased ter
ritory for possible future leasing op-
erations on the upper levels and may
point to the resumption of develop
ment work on Company account on
the lower workings, at any rate
above the present water level.

maintain the present high and un-
fair rates as far as Nevada and other
intermountain points are concerned.
Senator Pittman today stated that,
in his opinion, an investigation will
demonstrate that this freight bureau
IS not representative Of shippers hut
is a dummy agent of certain big rail-
road companies. Pittman's position
in the matter has met with the ap-
proyal OF numerous state railroad
commissions, chambers of commerce,
freight associations and other sena-
tors who are interested in seeing
that the people of intermountain
states are given square deal. There
Is no reason way the people Of Ne
yada and other intermountain Sec
tions should be compelled to pay a
freight rate that is far higher in pro-
portion than that paid by citizens of
Pacific Coast towns and Pittman's
resolution will smoke out" and give
information as to Just who is behind

reau, that maintains Offices at Chi
