VIRGINIA BUSINESS
MAN LEAVES AFTER
AN EXTENDED VISIT

Towson e. Smith, well known
business man of Flint Hill, Pappa-
hammock County, Virginia, is leaving
for his home in the east on Satur-
day. Mr.. Smith has been in Phoebe
for two months past making care
full study of conditions here, where
he has important mining interests.
The first visit Mr.. Smith paid us was
in June, 1919. On that occasion he
remaining in Phoebe only seven days.
The extended length of his stay this
year is accounted for by Mr.. Smith
in the following statement to the ed
tor Of the Record: II have lost many
thousand dollars in cattle and farm
ing during the last two years and all
my other investments have fallen cff
in value. On the other hand during
that same period my investment in
Phoebe Mines has increased in value
even beyond expectations. | came
here determined to thoroughly study
the situation to find the answer to
this and find 1t in the potential val
ue Of Phoebe Mines combined with
careful, diligent and thoroughly ef-
ficient management This fortunate
combination of facts shows me why
my Phoebe Mines company invest
ment has doubled in value while al
my farming and other interests II
the east have decreased nearly 81
per cent in the same period of time
feel that every day of my visit her,
has been full Of interest and my tim,
fully repaid. expect to make fur
ther investments in Phoebe Mines.
feel very much indebted to the peo
pie Of Phoebe for their many kin,
attentions in facilitating my investi
cation into conditions here"
II some of Mr.. Smiths friends i
Virginia will take time to look int
the properties he is interested i
around here we believe they wi
find a profitable investment.

REOpENNG OF OLD MINES AT ROCHE WOULD PROFITABLE;
PORPAYRY Dixie POINTS TO GREAT UNPROEN POSSIBILITIES

The statement has often been
heard that the great mines of Phoebe
have been worked out, and that. had
any ore been left by the big operat-
ing companies, old time leasers
would have later removed 1t. In
point of fact there is more actual
tonnage in the mines on the Hill
now available than has been mined
In the past. The great veins which
constitute the principal sources OIL
profitable ore are true assures and
should extend TO great depth and
while the changing character OF the
ore at water level precluded, AZ
that period, the poccibility OF reduc-
ton by the old methods of pan ANAL
gamation, present modern metailur-
gical proc sses would, under proper
conditions OF operation, render such
ore commercially profitable.
/. The great Yuba dixie, the por-
nbvrv vein of the old time operators,
Is a great mass of rock, 40 to 70 feet
in width. thrust upward from below

feet in thickness, represents for the
most part virgin territory, which
properly deselored has untold posi-
bilities. THE length of the dixie Is
known to be at least ten miles Ions
extending from east of the Alps Mine
west through the Yuba territory and
the larre ar,a under the control OF
the Consolidated Nevada Utah Cor
poration to the Stampede and High
land Districts where Gaping renders
further tracing impossible without
deep development.

ARE
FAIR TO GOOD

The weather for the past week was
clear, warm and dry. Regular Wea-
ther Bureau stations reported 100
per cent of the possible amount Of
sunshine. Daily maximum tempera-
lures were in the eighties, and daily
minimum temperatures were gener-
ally in the forties, and the average
was considerably above normal.
There was no precipitation, and the
usual light wind movement for the
season prevailed.
The warm weather was favorable
for the development OF crops which

County Fair a
Great Success

Phoebe visitors to the big Lincoln
County Fair at Csliente were unani-
nous in their commendation of the
annual event and without doubt
viewed as a whole this years cele-
bration was the best ever held. The
Carnival company supplied real
amusement and pleasure to the many
children and many of the parents
found their money flew fast while
taking in the many attractions pro-
vided.
The bucking and roping contests
were really exciting and the arrange
ment committee should certainly be
congratulated on the able manner in
which the big crowd was handled at
all times. That he riding contests
were of the best was evidenced by
the breaking of number of wild
bronchos, fresh from the ranges, and
the efficient and clever riding of the
local cowboys.
The exhibits caused universally
favorable comment, not only fol-
their pleasing arrangement. Visit.
ors found plenty of good places te
eat and at cheap rates, very differenl
from the usually increased and exor
bitant rates usually charged on oc
casions of this kind. Among tn,
Phoebe visitors noted were the fol
lowing: Mr.. and Mrs. r. r. Or
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Chas
Slaughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A
Thompson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Bow

the request Of G. G.. Campbell Of the
