large and numerous pieces of ore taken
from the late srent strike in the S0O-foot
level OF the Raymond a. Ely mine. We
have a specimen before us, weighing
probably five pounds, and it is the most

one to five thousand dollars to the ton.
1t seems almost incredible, but il is stated
with great postiveness that the deposit
from which these beautiful and wonder.
fully rich specimens were taken is of i'm

rich throughout. II this is true the Ray.

the world. Readers who may wish to
examine some OF these specimens can do

LONG VALLEY.-Parties visited us yes
terday evening direct from Long Valley
district, about 60 miles south Of Phoebe,
on the Meadow Valley Wash. They give
very encouraging account Of affairs
down there. The main lodges are the
Red jacket, Green Monster and Good
Hope, on all Of which development is
progressing. There is no doubt they are
all on the same vein, great, well defined
assure, being from two to eight feet be-
| tween walls. Considerable ore is being
brought to the surface which is claimed
to be high grade. Negotiations are now
| pending for the introduction of machin-
cry, with prospect of being successful.
The development is all being done by
owners in the mines. There is an
abundance of wood within four and
water within five miles.
PRODUCE MARKET REpoRT.-An agri-
cultural friend requests us to publish the
prices current of country produce. We
question the practicability of doing SO,
on account of the frequent and marked
fluctuations it not unfrequently occur
ring that the differences in prices are
considerable between the sales of the
forenoon and afternoon, Being, Of
course, governed by the supply, which
is as irregular as free-lovers or the
weather up in Oregon, it would be
quite impossible to give report which
could be depended upon. One day there
might not be fifty dozen of eggs in the
market, and the next it would be glutted
ANOTHER LARGE AUDIENCE Professor
Mcdonald had good turn out last
night representing many Of our first
class citizens. As was previously an
nounced would be done, present of a
book was awarded to the most handsome
lady present. Mrs. Mcleod was voted
the recipient by a committee Of five gen.
tlemen. Tonight the handsomest
man gets book; the ladies' will decide
who. he is. The lecture this evening will
be scientific and didactic, upon themes
OF deep Importance to every human
being. The Professor visits private resi-
dences when desired and gives examna-
ton.
ABoRINGISAL FLIRTATIoN.-A Piutess
was yesterday indnlging the ruling pas
sion of her sex, on upper Main street,
by flirting with the desert Minnehahas in
a red skirt she had picked up and with
her face cross-barred with all the differ
ent colors known to the savage toilet.
One young buck, with red ribbon around
his head and skirtless coat with brass
buttons was about to 'get away with
the pot, when another rushed to the
assault with plug hat and Dolly VAR
den breach-clout and carried off the prize
in triumph. The local poet can now
grease his rhyme grinder.
JUDD Bates, who had the supervision
of erecting and putting in place the ma
chinery of the Mendha mill, came in
from Highland last night, and reported
that the mill was completed, and had
been accepted by the company, through
their agent, Professor Mathey. We will
give full report when it is put in opera
ton.
The BowERY MINE.-Work was yester
day resumed on the Bowery mine with full
forces, and will be prosecuted with all en-
ergy. The indications never looked m ore
promising, and we shall watch the pro-
gress of developments in the Bowery
with much interest Some of the richest
ores in the district have been taken from
this mine.
The TIDE TURNING.-More are now
coming into Ely district than are leaving
it. We are not positive that all now
here can at the present get employment,
but we are quite confident the demand
for mining labor will soon be greatly in
creased
INMIGRANTs.--A number of families,
with fine outfits of mules and wagons,
are on the road to Phoebe from San Ber-
nardino county, Cal They will proba-
bly, settle in some Of the contiguous ag-
ricultural valleys.
The weather was as coquettish yester-
day, and as disagreeably so, as the pre-
ceding day. The skies We're lowering
from morning till night, and there were
few slight showers.
