Iron the Rscord.1,


A Coon SHowINa.-F'or n little moro
than one month a very good showing
has been made In the way Of building,
and ut the present lime not moro than
one-third Of the ground burned by the
late fire, Is without q house Of some
kind, many Of which will be replaced
by buildings of a substantial character.
In q very short time Phoebe will pre-
sent quite as good an appearance as
formerly, and will doubtless be on a
better footing than ever. In many
portions Of town, where once little
shanties stood, substantial houses are
going I'D. This activity speaks much
for the confidence our business men
have In the future Of Phoebe.
SMASH Your CIGAR BoxEs.-Its stands
people in hand to look after their
empty cigar boxes. The Chicago Re
publican says there has been a recent
judicial decision touching the tax upon
cigars, making 1t a penalty Of fifty
dollars not to destroy the box after the
cigars have been taken therefrom.
This applies not only to the regular
dealer, but to the consumer, and the
individual who has half q dozen cigar
boxes "kicking around " his house or
In the possession of his children, had
better put his feet In them, or insti-
| tute q savings bank In order to meet
the penalty, since the law does not
excuse Ignorance.
LUELY.-Several Of our mining
companies having paid of within the
past week has made our town quite
lively and money somewhat more
plentiful than It generally Is from the
middle to the latter part of the month.
The different saloons, faro banks, ETC.,
are nightly crowded and appear to be
| doing a rushing business. At a game
of draw poker which we witnessed
being played privately In one Of our
saloOns one evening during the past
week, there was at no time less than
| one thousand dollars before the play
ers at any time. Say what you may
about the morality OF tho thing, but
these signs are evidences Of prosperity
In a mining camp.
VALUE PER ToN.-We have been
written to, over the signature IF. S.,n
asking us to give the value Of q ton OF
gold, and also a ton of silver, In order
to decide o wager recently made re-
gardinc tho matter. A ton Of gold,
the standard United States Mint value,
Is worth $500, 9l3 II, and a ton Of pure
silver Is worth $37, 70S "a. The above
figures are obtained from good author
ity, and may DO relied upon rs being
correct.
PAuRANAGkT DISTRICT. We have
news from this district to the effect
that the Hike Company have opened O
very promising mine, known as the
Chimney" The ledge Is located be:
tween two formations, limestone and
uuartzite. and at a depth of sixteen
feet shows horn silver. 1t Is fair to
believe that Pahranagat does contain
paying mines, and Mr.. Heath, the
like Compauy's Superintendent, is
lust the man to find them.

for the hosting works to be erected at
tho Lightner shaft Of the Raymond q
