STATE NEWS.

IMpRovEMENr.-We Yesterday counted
twenty new houses, all of respectable size
and some frst-class buildings, which are
being erected in Phoebe. This is a good
showing for dull times. A few houses
are placarded ITO let" but none are
vacant in the more business portions of
the city. Rents are high-higher, proba-
bly,, than in any other part of the State.
Phoebe cannot decline, permanently, in
wealth. or population the mineral wealth
"in sight is a guarantee of continued
advancement for years to ome Those
fluctuations incident to all mining towns
now going ahead with a rush, then 60
ing back, and again on the stand-still-
we must expect but it will be found that
each years reckoning for many years to
come will find us advancing. An artesian
well is only needed to guarantee Phoebe
metropolitan proportions .-Pi0che Rec
ord, 30th ut.
THE BASE BALL MATCH. = The base
ball match yesterday, says the Grass
Valley Union of the 9th, drew a large
crowd to witness the contest between the
Idahos, of Grass Valley, and the Red
Belts, of Forest Springs. II the Idahos
had won fifty more rounds they would
have been victors by a scratch. As it is
they were the worst whipped base ballists
of whom we ever heard mentioned. The
result was as follows Red Belts, II
rounds Idahos, 22 rounds. We would
advise our young friends to go into a
course of training, and make some pro-
ficiency as players before they send out
any more challenges.
VIRDEN's CoNDITIoN.-Wm. II. Virden,
who was stabbed in the left lung on Mon
day evening last, is in rather a critical
condition. Yesterday morning he was
delirious for short time, and last night
he vas comparatively easy and comfort
able, but as suppuration, which set in a
day or two since, has partially subsidized,
at the surface, il is feared that he will be
attacked with pyamia, or absorption of
the poisonous matters of pus by the
blood. This would cause Assesses in
the lungs and possibly in the liver and
brain, in which event the case would be
beyond the reach of medical aid Vir-
ginia Chronicle, 2Sh uH.
The Phoebe Record of the 9th contains
the following hopeful item: Next week,
in a single mine of Phoebe, we have it
from good authority, an additional force
of two hundred men will probably be put
to work, while the forces ON half a dozen
other mines will probably be increased.
We may have the good old times of yore
back in a few days, and-we may not.
1t is evident a crisis is being reached in
the affairs of the Ely Mining District,
with the chances, according to our judg-
ment, in our favor.
