BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Present Messrs. Glissan and McCluskey.
In the matter of the petition of the
Maxim Gas Company of California, ask
ing permission to erect gas works, and
lay down pipes, etc., the Board granted
the petition, and the company is author
lied to erect gas works and lay down
pipes in Phoebe. The franchise is
for twenty years. Permission is given
the company to dig trenches in the
several streets for the reception of the
pipes, and it is required to have the
same in as good condition as they were

PORTLAND Enthusiastically we visited
this mine, in company with Capt. Cana
van and r. B. Ross, old and experienced
experts in mining. At the Portland we
were received by Mr.. I. Cocklin, the Su-
perintendent, who kindly showed US the
workings already executed. A shaft has
been sunk to depth of 80 feet, and q
tunnel is being run which is now 60 feet
in length. Some rich ore has been
struck, and it is believed that there is no
insignificant body of it close at hand.
The mine is situate north of the old
Meadow Valley and near the Dry Valley
roads. The easterly extension of the
Portland has been located by Mr.. P.
Arnold, who will commence work upon
it in a few days. On the westerly ex-
tension the owners are hard at work, run
ming two shifts. The prospects are also
exceedingly favorable.

south of the Alps. The shaft is down 8,
feet, and the work is being urged for
ward as rapidly as possible. Some yer,
