The LABoR1Ne MEN OF PIocHE.-La-


The LABoRING MEN OF PIoCHE.-La-
borers are divided into two distinct
classes. Phoebe has its miner, carpenter,
blacksmith and variety of other occu-
pations whereby men earn their bread
by the sweat Of their brows. We also
have men who gain their subsistence by
mental toll, and in these rough countries
where high prices are paid for labor of
all kinds, the chances of the mechanic
are equal with the clerk. They have
their chances of becoming wealthy; their
manual labor pays as well as the others
brain labor. An industrious mechanic
has the means of improving his mind
and can easily earn the means of gaining
a fair education, develope his thinking
powers, whereby he may become master
instead of mental in whatever mechani-
cal work he may have embraced. The
safety and progress of humanity depends
upon each man filling his appointed
place. no matter how humble it may be.
The world must have men to do its rough
work; let the clerk, the professional men
and others of that class look at the labor
ing man in an equal light with himself.
For in America, it has been proven that
| labor is the key which unlocks wealth's
! great iron safe and opens the road to
honor.
IMpRovEMENTs.--Mess Coleman &
Wilson, of the Mint Exchange, are no
laggards in the march of rapid improve
ment that now distinguishes the citizens
of Phoebe. They have constructed
large and commodious fre-proof cellar,
14x20, for the reception of an immense
stock of the finest brands of wines,
liquors, etc.. which they have just re-
ceived by way of Palislde The first
instalment, weighing six tons, is at hand,
and those who indulge will be able to
sample something rare and curious
which for purity and flavor cannot be
surpassed. Connoisseurs are invited
to call at the Mint and ascertain for
themselves that this commentator is
not unmerited.
The Review thinks Mr.. Holland has
struck his true vocation when he pro-
poses to wheel the first barrowful of
earth that is moved on the grading for
the BullioAville Railroad. We are glad
that the Review is pleased, and can as
sure it that if reverses of fortune should
ever require Mr.. Holland to follow that
pursuit to get an honest living he will
certainly prefer doing SO than to have re-
course to less honorable means of sup
port. 1t is to be hoped that the Review
man would be willing to follow so good
an example.
HE BULLIoNvILLE RAILRoAD.-Owing
to the surveyors not being quite ready,
the grading for this undertaking was not
commenced yesterday. To-day, how
ever, all hands will be in readiness and
the ground will be broken for one of the
most important enterprises yet under
taken in Eastern Nevada. Once begun
the work will be urged to completion
with all possible rapidity and be the
means, we hope, of materially reducing
the price of the transportation of ore
from the mines to the mills.
RAIN. We have received a poetic
effusion headed "Rain," which demands
notice at our hands. We shall say to
the author of these lines that poets are
born, and IN our judgment he must be
born again, not with fire and the spirit,
but with something of poetic genius,
before he can hope to succeed as a rhym-
list. We say this much in no unkind
spirit, but simply to urge the author to
devote his pen to other and more useful
purpose.
FAT BEEF.-Joseph Harold (whom we
remember as Charley" Harold, former
ly OF Tulare county, CALI has ranch
90 miles north of the Humboldt, and has
lately received from Texas large num-
Der OF beef cattle in fine slaughterinp
condition. O'Neel & Armstrong, of this
city, are purchasing some OF these cattle,
and our citizens have an opportunity to
regale themselves upon as superior beef
as was ever offered in this market.
DISCOUNT ON CHEoKs.-We understand
that in future Wells, Fargo & Co. will
discount all approved checks drawn on
the San Francisco offices of the several
mining companies of Phoebe at the rate
OF one and one-half per cent discount
This will be good news to the commu.
pioyes who have found the present rates
OF discount quite an onerous tax.
