Show the editor edl tor views the prince nce NEVADA RECORD on invitation of general manager AT C godbe and superintendent W C browne the record editor explored a part of the big prince consolidated mine last saturday mr browne did the chaperoning chape roning on the trip or maybe it might be be better ater to say that this was a personally conducted excursion into the bowels of mother earth and billy did the conducting billy provided his guest with one of godbee old mine suits a carbide lamp and the start was made at the davidson incline in just about two minutes or less the editor had made up his mind that godbe or browne or deck or somebody connected with the prince was peeved at something I 1 that had bad been printed in the record and figured out that a walk or a aall fall down dow n this incline would settle things however we said nothing of our suspicions to browne he is used to going down th this is hol hole e and two or three times when he was out of sight we were tempted to let out an oklahoma indian yell for help but finally after ages it seemed we reached the bottom of this incline to the best of the writers recollection we were then on the level but it seemed like the level we wanted to stop and rest but bill kept on going and if we followed him we probably would have been in ap that mine yet the mildest recommendation to the godbee concerning this incline is to take tahe one of roy orrs old 1887 models put a cable to it and take his visitors down in better style in passing passin we dont mind saying that the awful incline above referred to was through ore real ore and when they start to taking in this ore out the salt lake route wont have enough cars to haul it anyway we followed the heartless browne as best we could with shoes filled with ore and every muscle yelling for dr stockham and his tiresome beelin feeling eradicator pretty soon after going through a mile of ore we thought our conductor was going to say wed seen it all and would take a car for the top what he did say was to follow him and he was starting down a perpendicular cular ladder we followed we had to down down down we went billy landed safely in the next level about the time we started but we finally joined him and plead with tears in our eyes for him to cut out the ladder stuff asked him to save it for the movies he promised that we would go down no more ladders we but ye gods after walking down a few more inclines to the foot level and through a mile or two of tunnels dodging ore cars listening to the piercing shrieks of those jackhammers jack hammers etc browne started up a ladder straight up we had to follow and after wed climbed to what we thought was the top we were told that we had reached the level and would rest by walking down the tunnels for a few thousand feet after a while browne yelled up a hole for a bucket when it arrived we t got ot into it and started for the top but browne changes his mind as often as a woman ard and ordered the guy who runs the windlass to stop we got off at some level or sublevel sub level and tramped and tramped and slid and slid and climbed and climbed through tunnels inclines etc walled with rich ore finally we ran across giuseppi joe boggiani Cog giani who recently bought worth of liberty bonds and stamps joe seemed to have a soft job he was too busy making more money to buy more bonds with to talk to us and on we went after a long time it seemed browne said wed go aloft we fell into another bucket and were pulled to the top mr godbe greeted us warmly on our return to the office but we were sore at the entire prince crowd for getting us into such a mess and started to get into the french ford and beat it back to town but godbe seems to be a mind reader his suggestion was accepted with great glee I 1 dont remember the brand after another one we washed up and returned to the office in time to meet food administrator smith who sternly asked if we found out how much flour godbe and browne had bad out at the mine this was the first time it had occurred to us that a deputy food administrator should inventory his hosts pantry were going to let smith or milt lee or olinghouse house do the investigating at the prince for were afraid if we go out there again browne will want to take use down for another another E trip he said we only saw a small part ol 01 of the underground workings of the prince IG we will take his word for the rest ol of iso it but must admit that we know there ot was as much ore in all the world as we sauld blocked out down there M when the prince runs out of ore superintendent V in browne is going to be a mighty old man |
