FROM PIocHE.-J. T. Walker, an
old and we'll known resident of Grass
Cal, now sojourning at
writes to a friend in Grass
as follows:
Phoebe is a thriving. lively town.
There is work for all who are here,
and all are at work. The mines are
exceedingly rich, and apparently
permanent, but water, a v when it
rains or SHOWS, is a scarce commod-
ity, and the mills are located at Bull
lionville, ten miles distant. A COM
pany has been incorporated to
a railroad from the mines
to the mills, and it is expected the
job will be accomplished by Septem-
Der next. As it is now, the hauling
is a heavy item of expense. Lumber
is scarce, and worth from 800 to
$50 per thousand feet . shin giles. |
