WOULD |MPOVE THE
TELEPHONE SERVICE:
IN LINCOLN COUNTY

One of the important subjects un-
der discussion at the last meeting of
Commercial club was the local tele-
phone system and the unsatisfactory
service. The line ii appears is under
the control of the Utah, Nevada,
Idaho Telephone company, whose
headquarters is in Salt Lake City
where the business is transacted with
out regards for the interests of the
Phoebe stockholders. The Record is
under the impression that when the
system was organized that nearly
$4,000 was subscribed by the busi-
ness men of Phoebe, which at that
time would have built the line to
Panaca and Caliente, giving equally
as good if not better service
The line was to have given us con
nection with the outside world, max
ing connection with the business
centers, which has not been done.
The only means of reaching Salt
| LAKE ana intermediate nOlnJS Is pS
telegraph, and ii often occurs that
we cannot reach Caliente on account
Of the condition of the line. One
remedy suggested was that the local
stockholders take the matter up with
the Public Service Commission ask
ing relief Another method would
be for the local stockholders to take
over the line aad organize Il new
company for the purpose of building
and maintaining a new line that
would give to Phoebe, Panaca and
Caliente a more dependable service
and one that would be credit to the
community.
, In organizing, the main object
in view would be to make connec
tions with Ely or some point to tho
north that would put this section oi
Nevada in communication with the
outside world. With the building o.
' new and better highways, the nee
I essity of better telephone service il
, only too obvious.

P|OCHE DISTRICT
ORE SHIPMENTS

Approaching spring and rapidly
weather conditions will
shortly reflect in a decided increase
in the ore shipments Of the district.
The Smiley Trucking company has
40 tons of ore from the Prince Con-
solidated mine on the platform at
the Union Pacific Depot but this
will not be shipped until the balance
of the 150 tons in the mine bins has
been hauled. Teams are now en-
gagged in bringing in ore from both
the Stella and Lyndon Mines at
Comet to the Comet siding below
Panaca.
Approximately 1000 tons is avail
able for hauling at the Hamburg,
Mendha, Mascot, Alps, Amalgamat-
ed Phoebe, Poorman and other prop
critics, consequently April should
witness an encouraging output from
the district, which has experienced
the most severe winter of years. Foi
the week ending March 10, the fol
lowing mines shipped crude ore tt
the Salt Lake Valley smelters; Bris
, ton Silver Mines, 215 tons; Black
Metals, 240 tone; total of 45I
l tons.

COUNTY Commissioners TAKE
FINAL ACTION ON ROAD BOND

Highway act at this time by which
the county would receive practical
ly s14 for every dollar spent by the
county to be expended on the desig-
mated highways. James A. Wads-
worth of Panaca made an interesting
talk favoring the highway and
thought that the board should write
the Highway Commission accepting
the proposition at once.
Mrs. ]. w. Smith representing the
Caliente Commercial club offered
resolution from that body favoring
the highway as designated and rec
ommending that the Commissioners
accept the Federal-Aid and notify
the State Highway Commission to
that effect. Hugh Love Of the Ala
mo section was heartily in favor of
the proposition. but was in doubt as
to what assurance there was OF hav-
ing the Highway extended on
through the county to connect with
the Las Vegas route which was salts
factorily explained by Senator Scott.
Joe Ronnow and Editor Campbell of
the Caliente News followed with fav-
orable expression in harmony with
the purpose of the efforts that had
been expended in getting the Fed
eral Aid projects in action In Lin
coin county.
H. E. Prudential and many 9TH
ers added to the concensus OF opin-
ion in favor of the County Commits
sioners advising the State Highway
Commission that Lincoln county
wanted to be on the map in the
highway movement.
Commissioner Stewart, In order te
get action by the board and go OF

that Lincoln county was ready t
accept the Federal Aid and that tn,

SME[TER TO RE-
SUME OPERATION

The announcement, made by Gen
eral Manager William Wrath, that
the International Smelter at Tooele,
Utah, is preparing for an immediate
resumption Of activity, has been eX-
pected for some time by Phoebe oper
ators. For the past two months rep
resentatives of the company have
been negotiating for ore tonnage in
this district and the mines with the
larger blocked out tonnages, notably
the Com\ned Metals, Bristol Silver,
Black Metals and others have been
examined by engineers of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company with
a view of obtaining substantial
tonnage of mixed ores from this dis
trict
The favorable long term contract
granted the Prince Consolidated by
the International Smelling company
is still in effect and it is probable
that shipments will be resumed from
the property during the early sum
mer, though 1t must be remembered
that the stock-piles of Prince ore
still in hand at the smelter will pro
vide sufficient ore for considerable
period of time. In addition to the
stock piles of Prince ore large ton
mage OF silicious Bullionville tailing'
is also abailable which, with cheaper
costs can be smelted at a profit Th'
company's first problem will be tt
build up its stock piles Of necessar,
ores against emergency, this will
take at least sixty to ninety days.
Operating at full capacity the In
terna/ /onal Smelling plant has ca
pacity of approximately 1900 ton
Of ore daily. During the years 1915
560,579 tons of ore we're smelte
and the output OF metals for 1872
was made up as follows 9,909,76
pounds of copper, 6,13O,752 pound
of lead; 4,1s2,SS1 ounces of silvel
annd 22,577 ounces of gold. The re
sumption of activity at the Tooel
Smelter is certainly one OF the MOI
encouraging events since the slum
in metal prices year ago and
number Of properties now idle ma
be expected to resume operations c.
incident with the blowing in of Il
furnacee at the big smelter.

VIRGINIA LOUISE
MAKES REPORT

An interesting report was received
by local stockholders of the Virginia
Louise Mining company this week
and the information contained is of
Importance to those interested in the
future welfare of the company.
President j. ID. Thomson states
that the Virginia Louise mine at
Phoebe contains the largest deposits
off fluXing ore in the west. The
present shaft and lateral workings
have opened up and made available
probably l,250,n00 tons Of hu"ng
ore OF gross value exceeding So
100000. Walter Harvey Weed one
of the most conspicuous and accom-
| plished geologiscs Of the present day,
who recently examined the property
states in his favorable report that
the smelters no longer have as in
past years, an adequate supply Of
such ore from their own properties,
that conditions today are much more
favorable than in former years and
that the smelters must have tluxing
ore or use barren limestone. DR..
Weed also states that he made a
careful survey of the field and that
such survey shows but few prop
critics whose ores answer the re
quirements and that not one of then
has as large supply Of desirable or,
as the Virginia Louise mine.
Arrangements have been com
pleted to supply the necessary fund
to insure the carrying forward o
the plans Of the Company and it /
| hoped that development work will b
! commenced during the ensuing sum
/ mer Negotiations are now pendin
r for the possible resumption of shir
: ments of fuxing ore to the Salt LAX
D Smelters which indicates that tn
: various companies realize that tn
< favorable ores of the Phoebe Distri
5 will shortly be in demand at the va
ious plants.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HAS INTERESTING
MEETING

The last meeting of the Com
mercial club was, as usual, well at
tended and much that was of inter-
est to the community under discus
sion and consideration. The High
way proposition occupied first place
in consideration as it is deemed the
most important to Lincoln county at
this time. The Highway committee,
consisting of Chas, Thompson, John
Amsden and r. R. Orr, was asked to

coin Highway association. A letter
was read by Postmaster ]. w. Chris
taH from the post office department
relative to making the mail between
Phoebe and Caliente permanent
Star Route, asking recommendations
as to the feasibility and schedule
which was loft to he wisdom of the
postmaster with some suggestions
that might be of assistance in max
ing up his reply to the department.
The discussion of the present un
satisfactory condition of the loca
telephone system disclosed condi
tions that in no way reflect upon th
local management. but the head
higher up came in for considerabl
warrented criticism for the lax con
ditions in which the system is han
died. The matter is under consider
alton and some definite action vii
be outlined by the telephone commit
tee which is composed of A. "
