Br111oSv1LLE ENTHUSIASTICALLY Gen.


Rr111oNvuLE RAILRoAD.-To-day Gen.
A. l.. Page will commence the grading
for the Bullionville Railroad-when to
show his good will on behalf of the en-
terprise our friend Pat Holland proposes
70 prcpel the first wheelbarrowful OF
earth. He probably will not make full
dav, but while he is at it he expects to
scratch dirt amazingly. Gen. Page in
tends to push the work right ahead, ana
as he has all the iron and rolling stock
engaged, and some OF 1t on the way
hither, there will be no let up until the
completion of the undertaking and the
freight cars are carrying large quantities
of the rich ore that has already made
Phoebe so famous-what with the daily
developments taking place in our mines,
the improvements shown by the increased
Weld OF bullion, when the facilities af-
forded by the railway of cheap and ex-
neditions transit of ore extended, Phoebe
will roll out silver tide that will make
even the famous Comstock look to the
preservation of its laurels.
Dry Goops CoMINa.-J. Finlayson,
| formerly of Hamilton, leaves Phoebe by
this mornings stage for San Francisco,
where he will negotiate for large stock
of ladies' wear and gentlemen's furnish
ing goods. He has arranged with Mr..
II. Ward who will rebuild and retit his
store, which, when completed, will be
23x45 feet. Mr.. Ward will remove his
furniture establishment upstairs. Mr..
Finlayson is well known by many in
this portion of Nevada, and they all
know he keeps none but the best articles
of dry goods, etc. 1t is calculated the
store will be open in six weeks from
date.
ExcELs1oR.-This great mine improves
daily. Eight hundred tons of ore now
on the dump ready for the mill, which
would have been worked long since, but
for the fact that large quantity of tail
ings from the old Burke ores, which has
Y lain in Bullionville for long time, is to
be worked first, when the Excelsior will
N have a chance. The old 5-stamp has
y been idle for time undergoing repairs,
bnt will be in readiness this week. Late
hi hSStyS run tllc LACtlSioI oliOW uS Hi,u
N as 50, 26S per ton. Good results may be
& looked for when this lot of ore is milled.
4 REV. FATHER SCANLAN.-We regret to
learn that this gentleman, who has dis
charged his clerical duties with so much
acceptablity to his congregation, departs
this morning. Father Seaman leaves be-
hind him many warm friends, who will
always remember his soiourn with feel
ings of the sincerest regard. He labored
zealously in the cause of christianity, and
through his exertions, the neat little
church was erected on Meadow Valley
street.
The BOARD OF EQUALIZATION will NEE,
daily from 10 to II in the forenoon and
y from 2 to in the afternoon of each day
Il until the business of the Board is com.
u pleted. Those who have received Motif
cation respecting a contemplated increase
FL on their assessments will do well to bt
n on hand and show cause. Parties having
n complaints to make respecting thu
Il amount of assessments had also bette
NJ be on time. r.

Il mine has reached depth of 100 feet. 4
III drift will shortly be run across the vein
Saturday evening, just before the con
q tractors left, they discovered small
N vein coming into the shaft-no doubt
81 leader to the main ledge. Mr.. Caldwell
III the Superintendent, has great faith il
NJ the Traveller and we have no doubt bu
II the mine will prove itself of great valu
before long. ..Is
E WESTERN UNION TELEGRApH.-We ar
E glad to be able to announce that this ne,
line is in working order and will be read
NJ to transmit messages to-day. The open

to meet all contingencies.
