A New THEATER NEEDED.

A NEW THEATER NEEDED. - Now, it
being fairly demonstrated that Phoebe
can support theater supplied with good
talent, We should like to see some of our
moneyed citizens take the matter in
hand and erect creditable edifce. We
have no doubt a sufficient fund could be
raised by organizing joint stock
company. A hundred men subscribing
500 each would give us theater build
ing that would be no discredit to the city.
And the subscribers would run no risk
in advancing the amount, rs, the shares
being transferable, they would soon pass
into the hands of one or few of the the.
atrical profession. We would suggest to
Manager Mcguire that he make a canvass
for $4,000 building fund, in the way
proposed.
INADEQUATE POSTAL FACILITIES
postal facilities with the mining camps
and settlements to The east and south of
us are very inadequate. The Hike mail
is carried but once week on horseback,
and the business interests between
Phoebe and that section frequently re-
quire the running OF private expresses.
Service on the route should be increased
to daily delivery, and it should be ex-
tended on to st. George, there to con-
meet with the Salt Lake and San Ber-
nardino route. We insist that we need
II stage line between Phoebe and St.
George by way of Hike, and believe we
would secure it by sending on to the
postal department petitions fully setting
forth the necessity of its establishment.
IMPORTANT INSTRUMENTATION enter
prising townsman, Alex. Brown, has
concluded to erect magnificent block
on Lower Main street, in front of his
fire-proof store house Work has already
commenced clearing off the ground for
the excavation of the foundation, and the
masons will begin work as soon as the
weather becomes permanently settled.
IT will be a large, two-story stone edi-
flee, with brick front. The upper story
will be finished as a fine public hall.
something greatly needed in Phoebe. 1t
gives us pleasure to record this evidence
OF Mr.. Browns business prosperity.

scores of freight teams bound for Phoebe,
but owing to the condition OF the roads,

along the road might, by small expend-

their condition. There has not been an
expenditure of five hundred dollars, by

GETTING MORE AUDACIoUs.- hood
lums Of Phoebe are growing more auda-
cious daily. A fellow raped at the
door Of Mr.. W. H. Dolman's residence,
north Main street, yesterday, and told
the lady admitting him that Mr.. Dolman
had sent him for $3.50. A servant was
sent to Mr.. Dolman's Office for an ex-
PLANTATION, and vile going, the imposter
took hasty steps in an opposite direc-
ton. This is new dodge; look out
for it.
An IMMENSE SMELLING CONTRACT
Judge Hall, formerly Of this place, in
connection with other prominent min-
ing men OF San Francisco, has contracted
with the proprietors of the Bristol fur
mace for the smelling of 5000 tons OF
ore from the Hercules mine. in Bristol
district. This is very important step
in the development Of that promising
district, and we will have more to say
about it in the future.
NEW FURNACE. We hear that the new
furnace at Bristol, constructed by Prof.
Everett, for some company in that dis
trict, is completed and that smelling by
it will Immediately begin. Development
on the Hercules, Cave, National and Bay
State, in Bristol district, b being pushe d
with great energy, and the bullion pro-
duct Of that section promises to be heavy
the present year.
The postoffice business directory was
put up yesterday evening. 1t is fine
