NEVADA CENTRAL RAILROAD. - This
railway, which places Phoebe in close
communication with Bullionville, and
which bids fair during the present year
to form connection with the Utah
Southern, and thus give our fiourishing
mining district railroad outlet to Salt
Lake and all points east and west, is now
in complete running order, and to-mor-
row will commence running on schedule
time, and will make two trips daily.
The train will consist of fifteen ore cars
each carrying five tons, with one passen-
ger car attached. The Col. Carter is a
l5-ton engine, with 6-wheel driver, 12-
inch cylinder and 16-nch stroke. Du-
plicates of nearly all the different parts
of the ore cars are on hand to replace
any break that may occur. Another
pump has been added to the Col Carter,
and with water stations established regu-
lar time will be made. With railroad
communication to Bullionville that vii
lage will doubtless become popular
place of resort, besides affording the
people of Phoebe an opportunity to take
jaunt to the country as means of
relaxation from the cares of business.
We shall take pleasure in availing our
self of Gen. Pages polite invitation to
ride over the road and see how it works.
MILLS AT BULLIoNyILLE.-Owing to
the erection of several quartz mills, en-
ploying large number of men to run
them, together with the number of teams
daily arriving with ore, and the railroad
arriving and departing twice day, Bull
lionville is now quite an important town,
with good future prospects. The two
Raymond Il Ely mills-twenty and thirty
stamps respectively-are running on full
time, crushing ores from the Raymond
& Ely mine; Tom McMasters is the Su-
perintendent. The Magnet mills-five
and twenty stamps each-are owned by
Col. w. H. Raymond, and are running
on third-class ores from the Raymond &
Ely mine; A. L. Barber is the Superin-
tendent. The Chicago is 20,stamp
mill, in charge of Mr.. Moore, and is rum
ming on tailings.
RAILROAD FoUNDRY.-Ney Churchman
is the Superinend Mt of the Railroad
Foundry, Bullionville. 1t is engaged in
work for the railroad and for the quartz
mills at Bullionville. At the foundry has
just been finished an order for four pan
dies, weighing 1000 pounds each. Or
| ders have also been received at the foun-
dry from nearly all the mills for shoes
and dies. planning machine, bed 7x3
feet, has been added to the machine shop.
The Railroad Foundry is an important
auxiliary to the various mining and mill
ing enterprises in this and adjoining dis
tricts and to the railroad itself. Among
its employees are some of the most expert
enced and ablest machinists on the Pa
ciic coast 1t affords employment to a
large number of laborers in its different
departments.
CLOVER VALLEY.-This is an old Nor
mon settlement, about 40 miles frcm Pr
oche. There ale some dozen or more
families in the valley, which is well
adapted to grazing and stock raising.
The valley is quite small, being only
about three miles long and from one to
three-quarters Of mile wide. Deputy
Surveyor Henry made survey of the
entire land recently, and from that gen.
tleman we learn these particulars. Sher-
woods original saw mills are ten miles
beyond. and the lumber from that mill is
brought through Glover Valley to Phoebe.
The valley is very well watered, and has
the advantage Of delightful climate.

Committee on Fourth of July Celebra.
ton called on many Of our people yes.

patriotic ardor of our citizens. Tn,
