First Work on the Railroad.

n
with previous arrangement, work was in
oucurated ON the Phoebe and Bullionville
Railroad. At the appointed hour large
crowd had assembled on the prominent
noint opposite the old tank of the Phoebe
Water Works, and east of Panaca Flat,
affording a fine view of the southern por-
ton of the city. The number Of citizens
who had assembled to witness the breAk-
ING of ground on the railroad shovel
conclusively that the people felt deep
interest in the work about to be inaugu-
rated. After some preliminary arrange
ments, c. H. Beckwith, Foreman of con-
struction OF the first section of the rail-
road, introduced Gen. A. l.. Page, Presi-
dent of the Phoebe and Bullionville rail-
road, who inaugurated the work by dig
gng up and removing the first shovelful
of earth. After this Frank Wheeler pro-
posed three cheers for the Phoebe and
Bullionville Railroad, and the cheers
were given with a hearty good will.
Cheers were also given for Gen. Page,
after which the crowd dispersed, feeling
that the work inaugurated was in skillful
hands, and that the railroad between the
mines in this camp and the mills at Bull
lonville-a work of great Importance to
the mining interest-would be built with
all possible dispatch. Our readers will
join us in hearty wishes for the success
of the Phoebe and Bullionville Railroad.
A PLEASANT JAUNT.-Being favored
with an invitation from Messrs. NJ. Can
ovan and NJ. C. Hillyer, of San Fran
cisco, and j. r. Clark, of Phoebe, to join
them in trip to the gay little burg of
Bullionville We accepted the invite and
had very pleasant journey. Among
other places we visited the Raymond
and also the Raymond ~ Ely Mills. In
der the polite guidance of Mr.. McMas-
tiers, the Companys mill Superintend-
emit the party was shown over both estab-
hshments. At the former we were re-
ceived by Mr.. C. Haggett, the Superin-
tendent, who piloted us over the works,
which are in a condition most creditable
to those under whose care they are
placed. Both mills We're working in first
class style, and plainly show the mana
gers fully understand their business.
Our kind entertainers will please accept
Sour thanks for their courtesy and hospi-
! table attentions.
HE STREETs.-1n n new and growing
town like Phoebe, the constant improve
ments will necessarily cause the streets
to be temporarily encountered with piles
of earth and building materials. There
is, however, another matter to which we
wish to call the attention of our citizens.
and that is the unsightly condition of
our streets, caused by throwing refuse of
all descriptions until the roadway as you
walk down Main demoralized by pack
ing cases, old boots, rags, discarded
clothing, Old wrapping paper and litter
OF every description meets the eye on
every side. We therefore respectfully
suggest to the several business houses
that the street is not the proper place to
throw oil refuse from their various estab-
llshments and that the practice of doing
so is more honored in the breach than
the observance.
ARRESTED. - Yesterday our efficient
Sheriff John Kane received a telegram
that Frank Soule had broken out from
the Hamilton Jail and fled to Phoebe.
The fugitive Frank was not long at
liberty for Sheriff Kane arrested him on
tue same day the telegram was received.
Since the arrest was made a writ of
Habeas Corups was issued and made
returna6le last evening at 7 o'clock.
Sheriff Kane seems to have happy fac.
nlty OF laying the strong arm of the law
on evil-doers.
