W II Jhejioche Weekly, Becobd. - . t California-Pio'che Now Has Shaft to a Depth of One Hundred Feet and Still Sinkin Consistent with good mining and energetically prosecuted, expresses'.the manner in which , the development work on the Califorma-Pioche property is be , ing operated at present The double compartment- shaft, which is being sunk on the prop erty has now attained a depth of t one hundred feet The company has a well planned campaign of development, work mapped out and among this is included the sinking of the present shaft to a depth of three hundred feet After which crosscuts i will be run in the several directions and and at that time it is confidently expected that rich ore' bodies of considerable magnitude, of which, the present indications give every promise will be en countered, and a good share of! the rich silver lead ore known to ! exist in the mountains south of town, will be found on the Cali- j fornia-Pioche property. ' Four car loads of timber are en route and is exnected to ar. rive in Pioche within a day or so. Thi3 timber is considered suffi cient to substantially timber the snait tor the entire depth of tnree hundred feet A whim will be used as the hoist ing power as lone- as nrnrtipnl after which a steam hoist will hp installed. The company is well nnanced, and the management enthusiastic so that nothing stands in the wav of this com pany becoming a heavy producer within a short while. The principal owners are local people. Wm Wheatly is presi dent and at present is person ally directing the operations. Lhas.- Lee Horsey, the well known attorney, is secretary and treasurer; while Harry W. Rand of Portland, Ore., known to us as a man possessing much hustl ing ability, is a principal owner. The mineral showing gives good values in lead and silver.

Large Increase In Valuations The Laws Disregarded When the town ordinances of Pioche were recently nassed and put on the records as law in Pioche, it was thought by all '- that with a good, conscientious careful night watchman, or as he is termed, a marshall, would, as far as possible, and with rea son, see that the laws were en forced; but the truth of the situ ation is known, it seems that un lawful acts are permitted to such a degree that it will not be long until the young boys, far from the legal age, will be taking the privileges of a man of forty. In the first instance, younar , boys are permitted to frequent the dance hall, gambling tables and saloons about town; the pro prietors do not resist and the of- ficers do not attempt to atop the practices. We are informed upon good authority that the young boys have been encour aged to enter the dance hall by the "fixing of things" by W. A. Denton. Constable Healy is engaged at the gambling table and not in a position to duty as an officer, at the time of the night when such unlawful acts are being com mitted. Our marshall is given the "ha ha" every time he attempts to quiet or stop disgraceful and un lawful acts in the early morn mg hours. A few arrests and a good fine imposed upon the proper people will be the only means of curb ing the present situation. Of ficers,' do your duty, and you will find the RECORD behind you at all times for what is right and just.

The working and result of the operations ."of the drill will .1 watched with interest hv thQ local mining public, for it is tha first attempt made in the distnW ialong this line. And ac-ain it will be watched with interest by the public as a whole, for should the expectations of the manage ment pe realized, it will mean more for the future of Pioche than anything that has happened since its discovery. Many mining mei of note have repeatedly maintained that there is every indication of mineral in quantities exisiting in the flat Delow town. No development to any material depth has, however, been prosecuted. Should the ore body be struck in the present operations we may reasonably expect to see the entire Hamlite t lat prospected and many mines or importance developed. The diamond drill has, in other sections, proven itself to be a rapid and accurate means of de velopment Many mines which are now adding their precious minerals to the wealth of the world, would be lying idle, but for the existence of the diamond drill. lo Manager Mahedv of the Nevada-DesMoines, much credit is due for his untiring efforts in getting the drill here. May he ve handsomely rewarded. A UE Express Services First of Year Wells, Fargo Office Will Be Established at This Place New Corporation Is Launched Articles of incorporation of the Nevada Central Gold and Cop per Company were filed in the office of the county clerk Mon- day last.- ihe incorporators are local people and the property consists of some very choice ter ritory in the Bristol District Among the principal owners are John G. Brown, Robert D. Mont gomery, local agent for the Cal iente and Pioche railroad. L F. Peer and Chas. H. Smith. The capitalization is one million dol lars, divided into one million snares or par value oi one dol' lar each. The express office which was established here for a few days has been withdrawn, and all service in this line will be from Caliente for the present We are informed by Agent Mont gomery that after the first of the year a Wells, Fargo exDress office will be established here and this in itself will insure good service. At present the exDress service on the Salt Lake route is held by the Pacific Express Company but a change is anti mated along the entire line. The establishment of an ex. press office to Pioche will be a welcome one; being a great con venience to the local public. At present Caliente is the nearest express point as above stated. and the service entirely unsatis factory. The familiar countenance of Gus Anderson was seen on our streets this week. Gus was in quiring into the needs of our merchants in the liquor line. The bazaar, given bv the rJ. dies' Guild, at Thompsons Hal, Thursday last,' was a pronunced success in every Darticular. From a financial standpoint it was all that could be desired; the ladies receiving something over SfiOn And again, the articles sold were well worth the price, and everj patron of the bazaar, which hv the way included nearly all the residents of the town, received value for every dollar expended. Fixtures and articles sold dem onstrated a great amount of work on the part of the ladies and they were deserving of all the patronage received and it i pleasing to think that the popu lation of Pioche appreciated their effort in the manner in which they did. The monev 'Hi win De apportioned to a good cause, the erection of a sun- day school building for Pioche, something greatly needed. -Numerous booths were in evi dence, presided over by Pioche's charming ladies, and this taken m connection with the u-ood things offered, accounts for the great financial showing made The eatable booth was nrc ... . . . f-- sided over by Mesdames Thomp son, Greenwood, Thomarson and Lloyd, and they did so in a vrv efficient manner,- being amply able at all times to satisfy the cravings of the inner man. For after a person had in turn eaten some of .those delicious baked beans, which have been the talk of the town ever since, domrh. nuts, sandwiches, and that 'cof- fee cooked with gas.' would make every man satisfied with the world. The doll both charge in of Mes dames Cleine, Ewinir. Fitznatriek and Miss Lizzie Franks, was very prettily arranged and had some beautifully dressed dolls, which would gladden the heart of anv little girl to be the possessor of. This booth came in for its share of the patronage. The nantrv hnnth in rV, Mesdames Cook,- Carman and ruiier, ottered another oppor tunity for a person to satisfy himself with some of the daintf est creations in the pastry line imaginable, such as pies, the same as mother used to make, cakes, tempting salads, breads and numerous other thintrs which is rarely afforded a community to cnoose rrom. The domestic booth in charge of Mesdames Sawyer, Horsey, Eubank and Hodges, received a large patronage. Substantial wearing apparel and numerous other useful articles could h gotten there, and from the man ner m which the soods were dis posed of, would indicate that this fact was fully appreciated by the patrons. The fancy work booth, pre sided over by Mrs. Whitnev ant, Mrs. Robt. Nesbitt offered for sale some of the finest creations in this line it has been our pleas ure to view. Such as sofa pil lows, handkerchiefs, hoods and many other things too numer. ous to mention and of which Wfl are not capable should we trv. The articles had been donated from all sections and some of them of represented many hours oi patient toil on the part of the one making them. Ann" should you become fatigued in the nro- cess of eating and purchasing tne userul articles above men tioned, a diversity was offered by the fortune telling booth, pre sided over by Miss Vira Green wood, and she certainlv nrovpd herself an adept in this line, tell ing those who sought hfjr ser vices many real instances that had happened in the An inspection of the tax re ceiver's books, just closed, dis close a very good showinir as having been made in the paying or taxes this year.1 We append a tabulated statement of condi tions as they exist: Total mWount of taxas due..... 188,733.88 Amount due on drat Installment 44.K6.M Total num ber name on aasasamant roU 1.897 Number of d elinqiont aanwa 400 Total amount collided os first Install- nent W180.18 Amount to ba ctrilacted on aucond in stallment ............... 3S.56S85 The above demonstrates that a great deal t.nore was collected on the first installment than was due.

The Japanese booth, in chare-e of Mrs. H. E. Freudenthal and Mrs. Bowman, assisted bv the Misses 'Lizzie Goodrich and Elsie Price, was a very 'attractive one. Here tea was served in the Ori ental style, with wafers to eat while you drank it. and should tea prove to be too warm, the ladies were ready to let you have a plate of delicious ice cream to bring the other reverse. This booth was most attractive and had ready patronage from ihe time of opening to closing. Have you been fishintr?" This was the upermost question on the streets Thursdav: and should you reply in the negative. you were promptly told by a chorus of voices that vou were overlooking the opportunity of your lire. The cause for this question was the fish ootid, one of the features of the bazaar, presided over by Mrs. James Price and Mrs. D. M. Griffiths. This was one of the most attrac tive places in the bazaar and the todies were compelled to restock rins establishment several times during the day. A question arises as to which end of the string the sucker was attached which we will not attempt to de termine. Yet many of them were ready to take a chance. The candy booth presided over by Mesdames Clark. Hammond and Lee was eagerly sought Over one hundred and fiftv pounds of candy being sold and much more could have been dis posed of had it been available. This candy had been made by Mrs. J. A. Clark and its fame had preceded it for it needed no introduction to the public. At 9 o'clock p. m. the hall wan cleared and dan by a large and happy throng.
