State Prison at Carson, having in charge
James Harrington, sentenced to Is years
for the murder of John II. Lynch; Jeffer.
son Howard, (colored), 10 years, for the
murder Of Sheldon d. Potter, and VIM.
Castillo, Is months, for forgery. The
appearance of the prisoners were sugges-
tive of their crimes, they being of that
class whom n would instinetiyely avoid
and shrink from as hardened and abap-
doned men. Travis was accompanied by
two deputies, with a small arsenal of
firearms, "jewelry," ETC., and if those
chaps get away from him they will have
a " lively game" He informs us that
there are now eight prisoners in iail at
Phoebe, confined on different charges.

murder OF a man named Kitsell. This
case is represented as being one unfortu-

was not engaged in stealing, as was snp-
posed at the time of the shooting, but
was drunk and seeking a place to rest.
Cherry killed him under the impression
that he was the party who had been
stealing corn from his premises for a long
time. We are pleased to know from
Sheriff Travis that the band of r~ufians
who have been endeayoring to run
Phoebe are being gradually thinned out,
and their power to do injury completely
broken. A great portion of this long
wished-for elimination can be attributed
to the faithful and energetic discharge OF
duty by the officers of the law.
From TRoY.-Dan Morris has started
a line of stages from here to Troy, and
o makes weekly trips. From him We
learn that the magnificent mill of the
Troy Silver Mining Company has started
up on ores belonging to the company,
and the prospects are hattering for a
long and remunerative run. In our view
II is only a question of time when this
property becomes, as it deserves, one of
the finest paying institutions in the State.
superintendent Davis is a man of energy
and practical knowledge as a miner, and
will make IA success if any one can. We
shall probably be in receipt of fuller in
from this point before long,
and shall take pains to lay it before our
readers.

informs us that Mr.. Hitchcock is making
an elegant job of the mill, aud that. when
completed, it will prove AS reliable and
efficient as any on the coast.
From AusrRIA.-We were permitted to
hear read, one day last week, portions of
a letter written by u fellow towLsman
Marco Medin, to Captain Beatty, from
which we learn that he is at Padna, a
seaport town in Austria. He says he
has not enjoyed his trip much, the heat
being almost in%supportable and the chol-
era raging TO a great extent. However,
he declares he will remain where he is
until cooler weather shall come and
cholera abate sufficiently for him to
travel. His many friends will be pleased
to hear of the good health of himself and
family.
PAY DAY on THE HrLL.-The past
week has been one marked as the time in
which the honest miner draws his pay
for the past months labor, and the fact
OF a large amount of money having been
ptid out is evident from the presence of
many of the Hill boys in town, paying
up. etc. We only wish more men were
employed on the mines Of the various
companies, and that more money was
placed in circulation, as it certainly
should be.
