With the arrival of three truck
loads of machinery on the property
by the Salt Lake company
at Frieburg, and the shipment by an
other company Of several tons of
hundred dollar ore, to the Salt Lake
smelters, via Phoebe, this old camp
has taken on an entirely new aspect
Situated as it is, eighty miles from
the railroad, Frieburg is at great
disadvantage in that the average of
the ore as taken from the mine is of
such a grade that the shipping costs
are prohibitive, yet were these same
ores within easy reach of the rail-
roads they would be classed as dis
tinctly high grade product.
Frieburg Mountain presents a
geological condition somewhat sim
liar to that of the Phoebe range, a
great dixie forming the backbone of
the ridge with smaller dikes of a
rhyolitic porphyry jutting within the
flanks. Complex faulting has taken
place though Not so extensive as at
Phoebe, and the beds are apparently
folded largely throughout the dis
trict. Considerable erosion has TAX
place though chiefly along the
strike of the faults and in one or two
places through gaps formed by the
fracturing of overturned folds, the
mineralized areas not having been
greatly affected.
The ores are contained in beds
that seem to be true contact veins
lying on the contact between the
lime and rhyolite with we'll defined
hanging and foot walls in every case
These veins are all large, one vein il
particular being IA feet wide anC
which can be easily followed for
distance of over 400 feet. Sample

Champion and Fred B. Church.,

of last week in this vicinity examin-
in gthe Rip Van Wrinkle mine on

P|OCHE ORE RESERVES
INSURE FUTURE Of
DISTRICT

Company reports recently mailed
to stockholders of the principal
Phoebe properties are authority for
the interesting fact that at least $780,
900 tons of possible shipping ore are
available in the Phoebe district and
that this tonnage is being in two in
stances increased daily by develop
ment work.
1t is admitted that it will require
the cooperation of railroad and
smelling companies to move this
tonnage, but at the same time there
is no question that the grade is suf-
ficient to insure profit to mine, smelt.

tion whether a conveyance wherein
the consideration did not exceed

Stamps; and what liability attached

Miss Georgia l. English,

Madam :-Reference is made to
your letter of July s, 1921, and to
the copy of Location Notice and
Proof of Labor submitted.
In reply you are advised that the
document in question is not subject
to any Federal documentary tax.
You are further advised that the
stamp tax required on a deed con-
veying real property is not comput-
ed upon the consideration mentioned
in the conveyance but is computed
upon the consideration for the trans
fer of the real property. If the con-
, sideration for the transfer of real
property does not exceed 500 then
. the instrument conveying said prop
erty should not contain documentary
stamps.
A Recorder of Deeds is not re-
: sponsible for the stamp tax required
: on a ded conveying real property
: which is presented for the purpose of
recordation. his office holds, how
ever, that Register of Deeds should
advise parties to deed left for re-
cordation of thir liability to STAMP
tax and the penalty prescribed fol
the failure to properly stamp same.

TAKE TWO GAMES
FROM ENTERPRISE

The Phoebe Baseball club returned
Saturday night from Enterprise
where they won two out of the three
games scheduled during the Fair
there The scores were 3-2, 10-1
and 1913, respectively, for the three
games.
. From reports the first game was
real baseball. Drake, the opposing
pitcher struck out Is men and held
the local boys to or hits. How
ever, in the fourth inning the Phoebe
players were fortunate in getting to
the Enterprise twirler for four hits
(which netted three runs. Spike
Townsend, of Caliente, who pitcher
this game for the locals, while freely
hit, was effective in pinches and by
perfect support of the team was able
to hold the opposition to two runs.
The second game, though reported
from Caliente to the contrary, was
played with Spec Dolan at the deliv-
ering end of the Phoebe battery
while Frank Wilcox did the receiv-
ing. Spec favored the crowd witness
ing this game with an exhibition OF
pitching ability which excelled any
shown during the three games, and
seldom seen in small town games In
fact, both teams in the first two
games displayed ''big time stuff al
the way. Spec held the opposing
batters hitless up to the eights in
ming, when he loosened up trifl'
and allowed the only two hits agains

Afternoon Session
Y. M. c. A. Get Together Sunday

Interest and enthusiasm characterized the Sunday "get together" at the Nor wich Y. M. c. A. The meeting opened wSh the singing of several of the more popular hymns, following which the scrip lures were read and prayer offered. The discussion on What we owe to the Christian Religion" proved very interest ing and several took part in the discus sion. Among other points, the following were brought out. The contrast in cond- tions in America and countries where the Christian religion. When the Pilgrim fathers landed in America they establish ed their homes, the school and the church and. these three institutions are funda- mentals of all good government. The home is what it is today because of the influence of the Christian religion, and any home that is conducted apart from the influence of religion is a failure from the standpoint of happiness Riches and finely furnished homes are not ideal homes without the influence of religion.
 From an educational standpoint, we owe very much to this same influence and the large sums of money that have been given in the interests of education, have been given by those upon whose lives the Christian religion has had a strong influence. Woman has been brought to her proper place of power and influence in the home and in society by the influence of religion, for without this influence she was considered infsri- or, and today in non-Christian countries we are told that woman Is little better than a slave. The individual owes all he has that is worth while to this same in- fiuence, an every man therefore owes it to society and to God to pattern his life after the teachings of the Bible
 The discussion was one of the best thus far After the discussion social period was enjoyed and light refreshments serv- ed. =
