AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT We call
the attention of the public to an adyer-
tisement which appears in our columns,
in which every mine owner in this region
Is directly interested, The following ex-
PLANTATION of the matter has been afforded
us by prominent and reliable citizen:
The present Recorder of the Meadow
Valley District, who is our old fellow.
townsman, John H. Ely, during his NIB.
sepce IRON the district, appointed VIM,
u. Raymond as his deputy, who in turn
placed the Records of the Meadow Valley
Mining District in the hands of Joseph
Z. Patten, now candidate of the Re-
publican party for the Assembly. EARLY
in the present year Mr.. Albert Barber
was appointed as Deputy Recorder by
Mr.. j. H. Ely, who demanded and OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Patten the records re.
ferred to. About the LIST of MAY last,
Patten requested of Mr.. Barber the KEYS
OF his safe, for the purpose of obtaining
private papers of his, (Pattens 81 and
under this privilege he (Patten) abstract
ed the records of the district. He has
since then and now holds the records.
and not only refuses to deliver them to
Mr. BARRIER, the proper custodian, but
mine owners are deprived of the privi-
lege OF obtaining copies of the records of
their mines. When the demand which
IS made in another column, under the
head of new advertise ments, was made
upon Mr.. Patten personally, he replied
IN an insulting and abusive manner, that
he would not deliver them up. Hence
the publication of the aforesaid demand.
OcToDER.-The past month has been
prosperous one for Phoebe, the evil
dences of which pleasant condition is to
be seen on every side. New buildings,
some of them quite elegant and substan-
tial have risen as II by magic, aud soon
as finished are tenanted for either bust
ness purposes or as dwelling houses.
Our communication with the railroad
has also been increased to a daily line.
the business houses are fully occupied
with the demands of their customers.
while saloons, lodging houses, restau-
rants and retailers in all lines are doing
thriving trade. The influx of strangers
and new comersi is increasing, and it is
said will after the election meet
with considerable additions. The con-
struction of the Bullionvilie Railroad is
proceeding with great rapidity and the
nils enclrcling the town will soon be |
travtrsed by the locomotive, Altogeth-
er we can safely congratulate our citizens |
on the present ,tisfactory condition
and future prospects of Phoebe.
