the first settlers of Phoebe, Otto Kuen-
ger, arrived Sunday evening from
Wallapi. He left here about one year
ago with bright visions of digging up a
fortune in Arizona before he came back
to his old stamping grounds again. He
has fortune in prospect, and is only
waiting for some speculative genius to
come along and put up the coin. His
mine is called the Monitor, and its rich
ness and the quantity in sight has no
equal. The Keystone, which most every
body in this camp has heard of some
time ago, has been sold to San Francis
co parties, and the original owners have
game thither to get their money. He
says the mine is immense, having four
foot ledge of rich pay ore. The Chloride
Consolidated, owned by L. Martin Smith
and VIM H. Raymond, has struck it
very rich. The Tiger mine, situated in
Stockton at the extreme east end of the
camp, has shaft down 10 feet and
ruby ore similar to that of Austin assays
from S400 to S4, 900 per ton. The En-
pire mine, at the west end of the camp,
and some 10 miles from the Tiger mine,
has lead six feet in width, with average
assays Of $3.50, with depth of 100 feet
on the shaft. Vim. G. Blakely. former
ly of Phoebe, is Superintendent of the
Revenue Consolidated Mining Company
The Revenue mine, part of the consol-
idation, is said to be the richest mine
ever discovered ON this continent. One
smelter has been erecsed at Central City
by Mr.. A. B. Elder from Ovens river,
and is now in running order. Col. Baker
from Los Angeles is now putting up one
in Chloride City. Everything looks
favorable throughout the entire camp.
There has been large number of men
in the district, but at present only 400 or
500 remain. A short time ago the
Mojave Indians killed man by the name
OF Goodrich on the river some 80 miles
from the Wallapi camp. As near as we
could ascertain, it appears the man was
cutting hay on the Indian reservation,
and they promptly went to him aud told
him to stop, which he refused to do. The
Indians waited until he had got to sleep,
then went to his quarters and beat his
brains out. News came to Wallapi, and
sixty mounted men, well armed. started
to the Indian camp and were met by the
chief of the tribe, Ara Taba, who imme-
dlately gave up the three murderers.
They were shot dead by the miners.
Health has been generally good. The
only death occurring was that of Jos phi
Rhinehart, well known in Phoebe. He
died in May last of pneumonia.
SHADE TREEs.-Nothing tends so much
to beaUtify residence and to give a
town or city cheerful appearance as
shade trees. The barren looks of everv-
thing around Phoebe would be relieved
by setting out shade trees, and the time
for so doing is near at hand. II. X.
chamberlain has large lot of different
Kinds OF shade trees growing in Eagle
Valley, which he offers for sale. They
have been tried in town and found to do
well. Frank Buck, at the lumber yard,
Is agent for the sale of these trees. See
advertisement.
New YoRK.-Much difference of opin-
ion exists among politicians concerning
the vote of New York State at the Presi-
dental election in November. We are
authorized by a responsible party to say
that he will bet any amount from 500
to $5,00O that the Greeley and Brown
Presidential Electors will be chosen in
the State of New York on the 9TH of No
vember next. Here is chance for any
gentleman of an opposite opinion to back
his judgment.
M. McCLUsKEY, who left some time
ago to attend the Liberal Republican and
Democratic State Convention at Reno.
returned to Phoebe on Sunday evening,
a little the worse for the trip. but in
few days he will be all right again. Nc, s
prolonged absence was occasioned by
severe injuries which he received from
the upsctting of buggy in which he
ana MAJOR Ferrend were returning TO
Virginia City after the adjournment of
the Convention. He was confined To his
bed and under DR.. Webbers care for a
week or more.
