Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1872-11-20

Meadow Valley streets, was closed for
day or two, but was re-opened last even
ing, with a very superior stock of
liquors, wines etc. Mr.. F. Hasten, the
proprietor, has exhibited great degree
of good taste in having his saloon re-
fitted, for it is now as neat and tidy as a
new pin, with a mirror in the rear Of the
bar which tends to amplify every object
in the room. people, bar, glasses and all.
A friend at our elbow suggested that
even in the mind of duly sober citizen
the effect of the mirror would be to
increase the pleasure to the scene OF
vision by the impression that he was
taking two drinks instead OF one. Geo.
W. Hall, polite and affable young man,
does the honors to the patrons OF this
saloon. O
New MAIL RourE.-A petition was
forwarded some weeks since to the Post
Office Department asking the establish
ment of mail route from Phoebe to
Prescott, Arizona, proceeding from
Phoebe, via Bullionville and Meadow
Valley Wash, to Long Valley, in this
county; thence to the Muddy, and cross
ing the Colorado at the mouth of the
Rio Virgen; thence through Hualapi
District to Prescott. 1t is earnestly
hoped that the route asked for may be
granted by the Department, as it will
accommodate great number of people
who are now subjected to great incon-
venience in consequence of a lack OF
mail facilities.
SALT LAKE ReuTE.-From gentleman
Just arrived from Salt Lake, we learn
| that the travel to this point is very great,
the stages not being sufficient to accom-
modate all who are seeking passage. A
coach load or more are lying over at way
stations. The road has undergone great
improvement, and better coaches and
horses have been obtained. In future
better time will be made, and the passen-
gers may hope to make the trip with less
| difficulty. Our informant states that the
road from Salt Lake to Phoebe is lined
with teams laden with railroad material
and merchandise.
IMPRovEMENTs.-No camp of which we
have any personal knowledge or which
we have any information shows such
signs of prosperity as Phoebe. Besides
several stone and brick buildings il
course of erection in the business centre
of the town. numerous private dwellings
are being erected in locations remote
from the turmoil of busy mining camp
,,+o ,f nj
having put up commodious and substan
tial structures as APPENDICES to the
: claims. Indeed, Phoebe is alive will
business, and all feel sanguine of brigh
future.
PAHRANAGAT VALLEY.-This valley i
in the southwest portion of Lincoll
, county, and though not very extensive
: being about three-quarters of a mile j
average width by 80 miles long-is yer
productive. AS potato country it is nc
. surpassed by any other section. We al
i, credibly Informed that in favored loca
: tiles the yield is as high as 600 bushe
. to the acre-some weighing as much 1
:. bles Of all kinds, also wheat and barle,
/. yield abundantly.
: We inspected yesterday at the stalls
O'Neil & Armstrong, Meadow Vale
:. street, fine specimen of the porch
:. species, being pig ten months old al
# weighing 452 lbs. This animal is a II
a tive of this neck of the woods, and v
F. refer to his proportions merely to raise
# violent presumption-as the lawyers p
! it-that something besides silver al
: other metals can be obtained in this laI
of sagebrush and silver bricks.
or The contemplated directory of busine
Y. houses in Phoebe, is an undertaken
ir which bids fair to be remunerative to t
Us projectors, NJ. Chase & Co., and at t
t, same time confer benefit upon t
d. town, by showing to the outer world ii
pit this is one Of the liveliest mining cam
on the coast Those who have not
ready secured a place for their care
~, should do so at once.
