cha nreyious seven days. Several i'm
movements are still going on at the sur
f,ce and in the shafts. In some Of the
mines. too, the prospects underground
are now more favorable, than at the last
report.
There seems to be a temporary depres-
s,on Of spirits among a great many work
inc men on account of the numerous as
easements lately levied. We have, how
eve,. seen none as yet who have lost
faith in their mines, and very fsw--hard-
l, any in fact-whether interested or
not who do not firmly believe that the
mines of this district will in the near fu-
ture command more attention among
ontsids capitalists than they have ever
dome before. Until that time we are con-
tent to wait. The REcoRD proposes to
make no statements which would lead to
n mere temporary excitement. Such a
course, though short period of prosper
ity would be the result, would in the end
hurt our interests seriously. There are
few men in our midst, we hope, who
would be willing to sacrifice the true in
terests of the people here for selfish gain.
All should endeavor to repress the efforts

lie or otherwise. Phoebe can afford to
