THE ONE LEDGE THEoRY.-Recent de.
velopments in the Phoebe mines tend 10
prove as correct the one-ledge theory
that is, that in any mountain charactet-
lied by numerous argentiferous veins,
those veins all tend, like small veins
running to the main arteries in the
human system, to one great central de-
post. The lodges on the south side Of
Spring mountain generally dip to the
north, those on the north side to the
south, and the bodies Of ore have in.

tanned. If development continues in the
future as they have in the past, we will
yet be able to boast as great an extent OF
ore as have been exposed in the Come.

The GRANT VIpETTE. This is the
name of the latest candidate for public

City. 1t is a large, well-printed sheet,
filled with able editorial and general

BRIsToL DISTRICT. The Bristol furnace
has, we hear, suspended operations.
The suspension is not attributed to the
ore falling below expectation in richness,
but to mechanical imperfections in the
machinery. The value of the ore was
not over-estimated a farthing; on the
other hand, the smelling so far done has
demonstrated that the Bristol ores are
among the best paying smelling ores ever
discovered. But the present working ia
cilties must be changed.
FoRT BIRCH MILLS DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Parties just in from Nephi, 260 miles from
Phoebe, in Utah, report that the Birch
Flour mills, near that place, were totally
destroyed by fire the othar day. The
best brands Of Utah -four brought to this
market came from those mills. They
were in the center of rich agricultural
country, at the junction of the Phoebe and
San Pete roads, and will probably be re-
built. There was no insurance, and the
loss is estimated at SIP 600.
The ALps.-The late rise in Alps stock
was not the result of a mere speculative
movement-it was amply justified by the
improved condition Of the mine. A very
rich body Of ore, two feet in width, has
been struck on the 164-foot level, and from
two to three tons Of high grade ore are
being daily hoisted, with but small
force of men engaged. The mine will
soon be in condition to greatly increase
the working forces, when heavy bullion
production may be expected.
SUDDEN DEATH.-About noon to-day
John D. Mccullough. Justice of the
Peace, died suddenly at his residence,
at Panaca, OF pneumonia. Judge Nc
Cullou2h was native of Texas, but had
resided for many years in Washington
county, Utah Territory, where he for a
long time held the position of County
Judge. He had resided in Panaca about
two years. He was fifty-fve years Of
age. ..f..
The ALPS MINE.--We are glad to he
able to chronicle the shipment by this
company, on the 9th inst, of four bars
Of fine bullion, valued at 81, 345, the pro-
ceeds OF thirty-nine tons of ore. This
ore was worked at the Meadow Valley
Mill, and great credit is certainly due to
Mr.. Maynard for working the ore up to
10 high a percentage.
HARVEY BOONE, OF the well-known firm
Of Boone & Dolman, leaves this morning
for lis old home in Iowa City. He is
lonely; he's lonesome; he signs for CON-
psnionship; but he won't DO unhappy
long. One more name drops from the
bachelor roll Of Phoebe, but two Boons
of happiness" will console us for the loss.
Harvey will return during the summer.
