up Tue local notice of iron ores in our
iast' making it read hermatite, we will
Improve the occasion of correction by
pointing out the distinction between
'hese TWO classes OF ore. Hematite re-
qulres stronger heat to reduce it than
other ores, but yields a fine quality of
ore Tor manufacturing purposes; its pow
der Is also extensively used as coloring
material and for polishing metals. 1t
yields the bulk of the iron made in some
countries. 1t is found in vast quantities
IN northern Michigan and in Missouri.
In the latter State, Pilot Knob, $50 feet
nigh, and Iron Mountain, 200 feet high,
are chiefly composed of this ore. Mag
hetlc ore, when pure, contains 70 per
cent. OF iron. 1t is one of the best of the
ores of iron. The celebrated Swedish
and Norway irons are manufactured
from this ore. In this country it is found
In vast quantities in northern New York,
and elsewhere. The deposits east of
Phoebe are the only iron mines we know
OF embracing both hematite and mag
netic ores which are in the midst of a
good coal field for reducing and manu-
featuring them.
THEATRE.-Last night we had the first
legitimate dramatic performance ever
given in Phoebe. Nothing ever attempt
ed here before in the dramatic line can
be compared with it. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bates were welcomed by crowded house
OF the best citizens of the city, and the
fact proves that our people can appre-
ciate and will literally support true merit.
Mrs. Bates reputation in rendering Ca
mile is we'll deserved-and it is now ma.
tional. Her general delineation OF the
part is as true to nature as was Matilda
Heron's before the observation OF her
splendid genius. Mr.. Bates, also, well
sustained his reputation in the rendering
of Armand Duval. Messrs. Lindsay and
Dunno acquitted themselves creditably.
Mr.. Maguira played Gustave in his usual
careful style. 1t was a success, in every
particular. Over $500 was turned away
from the doors. Manager Mcguire &C.
serves the thanks of the public for pre-
sentlng so rare an intellectual treat.
Tickets for to-night's performance can
be procured at the San Jose House be-
tween ii a. m. and p. IN. If you wish
seat, get your ticket early.
PROSPECT OF DIRECT COMMUNICATION
WITH THE EAsr.-The dispatches in our
last, announcing that the bill had passed
the Senate granting the right of way to
the Denver, Georgetown and Utah Rail-
road is matter of greater importance to
us of Southeastern Nevada than may
have been supposed. That line enters
and crosses Utah on or near this parallel,
and its extension to Phoebe is foregone
conclusion. 1t would be our most direct
route to the East The enterprise is
said to be well backed with capital and
in the hands of men of energy. We
shall watch its progress and prospects
with lively interest.
SUDDEN ATH.-Daniel Flynn died
suddenly in his cabin, on Upper Main
street, night before last. He was an in
dustrious miner, respected by all bis nc
quaintances; but he seems to have been
sadly neglected in his illness--because,
probably, his friends were ignorant of
the dangerous character of his sickness
| When DR.. Deal caled--the only call of a
physician he had-life was fast ebbing
away. His cabin and its contents indi-
Gated that he was a provident and we'll
to-do working man. He was quite aged,
and leaves, we are informed, a family in
San Francisco.
PIocHE TO RE MONEY ORDER OFFICE.
Postmaster Barnes has applied to have
the Postoffice here made money order
Office. 1t was matter Of surprise to US
when we first heard it was not money
order office. We doubt whether there is
another town of as great population in
the United States deprived Of the conve-
nience afforded by the money order sys-
TEN. The Department cannot well re-
fuse to extend it to Phoebe, when little
villages of less than thousand inhab-
itants are allowed money order Offices
The business to be transacted would be
immense.
WHO WILL TAKE HOLD OF IRA petit
ton, we have heard several suggest,
ought to be circulated to have the St.
George and Arizona mail route extended
to Phoebe. OF course every man in town
would sign it, and there is not much
doubt that the extension would be grant
ed Who is self-sacrticing and public
spirited enough to write and circulate
such petition?
In the early morning yesterday it
rained considerably; then the sun came
out and made tickle promise of fair
weather, after this we had brief but
furious snow storm; and then, Us night
approached, the temperature rapidly
lowered, until the mud stitfened and ice
formed. A hard "freeze " is just now
in progress.
JUDGE MEsIc, the distinguished coun.
selor Of Virginia City, leaves on this
mornings coach for his home. He has
been with us three weeks but so genial
and talented a gentleman as he is can
never out.stay his welcome in Phoebe
We hope he will come oftener and stay
longer in the future.
ENROLLING FOR THE Coop TEMPLAB
LopGE.-The first Good Templar lodge
of Phoebe will begin it's career with
strong membership. Names are pelne
