Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-12-29

SEAsoNApLE.-The close of the year
is seasonable time in which to take Il
retrospect of the past, to cast up accounts
and see how the finances stand. In
looking over our books, as probably
nearly every business man has done, we
are almost amazed to find SO great num-
Der of delinquents on our subscription
list. Many are in arrears for over
year, and not few are indebted for two
or more years subscription. We pur-
being ushered in, to take new depart
ure, and strike from our list all sub
scribers who are in arrears. The ex-
pense Of the paper upon which the
RECORD is printed is SO great by the time
it reaches us from either San Francisco 4
or Chicago, that we cannot afford to give
it away, much less pay for setting the
type, press work and mailing, unless
payments for subscriptions are promptly
made. Our terms are in advance, but
we have deviatcd from that rule too often
for our own pecuniary good. If the pa.
per is not regarded as worth the price OF
subscription, the only proper way to do
is to discontinue it. Then no complaint
can properly be made. We will say,
however, that the beginning of the New
Year is q good time for commencing
subscription to the RECORD. A file Of
the local paper in any town for a year is
a valuable index to its history. Its col
umns would be sought after for informa-
ton with great ayidity in after years.
| Phoebe is destined to become the railroad
and mercantile center for large section
| of country, and an outline of its rise and
| progress will be highly interesting. The
| DAILY RECORD will best furnish the in
formation to be surely sought after in the
future.
| LErr.-Mr. Sam Ferguson left Phoebe
day before yesterday for Virginia City to
take the foremanship of the Gould &
Curry mine. Mr.. Ferguson has had
many wears experience in mining. He
was Superintendent of the Chloride Flat
Consolidated on Treasure Hill, and was
for some time connected with the Savage
mine in an official capacity. He bears
an excellent reputation in Phoebe. His
work on the Chief Of the Hill, where he
has been employed for some time as
foreman, shows conclusively that he
fully understands his business. We
trust Sam will meet with success, and at
some day not far distant return to
Phoebe.
THEATRE. - The weather permitting,
milky White and the "Siamese
Twins will be presented on Monday
evening. The company have had con-
slant re-hearsals, and we anticipate q
dramatic treat. On Tuesday evening
benefit will be given by the manage
. ment of the Society of st. Vincent de
Paul, Mr.. Mcguire having generously
volunteered his services. For so worthy
an object we bespeak o crowded house.
